Words and phrases that bug the living shit out of you

[Goo Punch 4275]

“Absolute gem.”

I don’t know why but I can’t fucking stand this phrase. Somebody finds a picture of themselves at 5 years old and feels the need to post it to the internet saying, “I just found this absolute gem.” This, and most other internet-spawned/related phrases drive me nuts. Come up with an original, not-over-the-top way to describe your boring-ass picture.

Anyway, rant over. For now.

[achooloco 1067]

PoC. screams of millennial bullshit, "oh no, a realistic and accurate description of quantity of non-whites vis a vis whites sounds negative, you can't say minorities anymore!!!1!!" fucking can it. so much actual racial bullshit out there every day and these numb nuts start on the inconsequential dross (but factual!) first. not to mention it is condescending as fuck to even think you should mention to anyone how they should describe anyone else "you shouldn't say minorities, it is PoC" like i'm some east asian pac-man rip off. morons.

the word "like" peppered liberally throughout a sentence when not making a comparison or an affirmation of enjoyment.

For shits n' giggles at work next week, pick a random person you interact with regularly at the office.  Count how many times they use the word 'like' in 60 seconds.  It'll add up to 5-10 times.  That's a few seconds stolen from you every minute of conversation or listening to a presentation.  It adds up to a couple of minutes per day, every workday.  Nearly an hour a month.  Days of your life are being robbed from you because grown, educated  adults speak like 11-year old girls.  And it's not a regional thing either.  It's everywhere.

“Feels”

“My mains”

“This gem” (OP is spot on)

[former alkie 72]

Mind blown (even worse when they use the hand gesture)

I don't mind 24/7 as it correctly conveys the intended meaning.  I suppose it could be considered redundant, but "24" would be extra stupid.

What I do mind is 24/7/365, because that's mathematically wrong.  The correct forms would be:

24/7/52

24/365

[qwertyu1234 496]

in this day of social media...

[Surly Bevo 24908]

That's what she said.

Especially when "That's what she said" dude is around

[Jersey Man10 3528]

"Let's GO BABY!"

Even worse when it's a pasty white kid.

[Guest Lobo]

When people type/write "CST" or "EST" after a time for a conference call or a meeting and we're very much into Daylight Saving Time.  If you are unsure about whether or not to use "(blank)DT" or "(blank)ST", just write PT, CT, ET or whatever.  

[Spaulding Smails 1552]

Physicality.

Totally overused by color commentators, and often used incorrectly.

It should be more like 365 1/4 anyway

[TK421 29]

“At the end of the day....” 

typically used by exec douche nozzles to explain, in summary, why they are fucking the employees/customers over again in yet another meeting.

[troph 24781]

I hate the word “fart” could be the worst word and the most foul in the entirety of the English language

[Fudge Nuggets 19184]

It wasn’t until about five years ago that I found out Yankees use the term “on line” to mean they are waiting in a line.  I don’t know why, but anytime I hear it now it grates like hell on my nerves.

[SDG 3319]

Curse words use for effect are one thing, but peppering them throughout a conversation is annoying and makes you look uneducated.  

 

oh and dope as in “that is dope” or bro.

What the fucking fuck?

[AUinHsv 579]

"patented" used in sports.  As in "he lead his patented 4th quarter comeback...."

[RDCanecutter 26377]

Skill set. First time I heard it was in the late 90s and some white dude wearing a high-collar Chinese jacket was bitching outside Trudy's while we were trying to get drunk. He'd been to a job interview. He said "skill set" about 87 fucking times. It was stupid then and it's stupid now. I'm not saying I hope they didn't hire his stupid skill set ass, because I don't want him wandering the streets homeless. I'm just saying I think his stupid ass was stupid.

[Equinox 95]

"Adversity" in the sports context

Guacamole being called "guac"

Since my my wife started teaching two years ago, she has picked up "all the things". Makes me ragey.

In this league. Kubiak loved saying it.

"For the reals"

"spaghettis" instead of spaghetti

"allegedly" for every damn thing they talk about.

[Loose Stool 112]

When people use the word "irregardless".  Just say regardless.

[dirtonia 269]

Fuck you

[Loose Stool 112]

How about when people start off the answer to a question with "To be honest with you..."

Well, fuck, yes I want you to be honest with me.  Why do you have to preface your answer with that ya dickhead?

[Sbbruin 21828]

The term “deep dive” is getting so fucking overplayed.  This must cease.

[butthurt 1522]

When someone has a stomach bug and calls it "the booty flu."

Because they are going to lie to you.

Sexy time. 

 I see it on this board often. It’s no wonder your wives won’t fuck you. You’re talking to her like a feminine beta bitch. 

[Austinvines 316]

“Step foot” is the closet to, if not the most ridiculous phrase anyone can type/write.

You don’t step with anything besides your feet so you are either totally ignorant or just trying to be wordy, which makes you totally ignorant. No one would say “clap hand” and dolts who “step foot” are simpletons.

[ernest_t_bass 1196]

I have an almost 13 year old daughter.  I pretty much hate 80% of the things that come out of her mouth.

[RDCanecutter 26377]

I know, right?

LOL at the "I do anal"

[Loose Stool 112]

There are a couple of people at work who started using the term "all that jazz" to refer to a series of tasks they are going to do.  Can't stand it!

[Guest]

whoop.  Dumb as fuck EVERY.SINGLE.TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!

elusiveness in sports.  It's agility, you dumbass.

[troph 24781]

Might be second worst. Only reason I can think of it being okay is sexual but then if you do it right she’s wet not moist.

Wait.  Who uses "step foot" and what does it mean?  Maybe I have finally escaped corporate lingo-land?
