What word or term annonys you? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Please don't think I'm here to complain about rizz or skibidi toilet etc. Thats all fine by me.

The term I dislike strongly is 'eeeh' before you make a statement disagreeing with someone. (This is over text only). Now maybe I've been pavloved bc it's always used by someone disagreeing. But I'm happy with people disagreeing with me normally its just the 'eeeh' or 'erm' that annoys me.

So what's a random term that annoys you?

PS. Saying "eeeh actually 'eeh' is a perfectly fine term" would be a ridiculously easy joke and I will judge you for making it. And I know atleast one person will. Especially bow that I've said all this.

I'm open to an explanation of a commonplace situation where it's necessary to have a separate word for "is of the gender that matches that assigned at birth."

Any time that you assume something is some vague obvious-to-you "normal" by default and insist that everyone else that isn't that "normal" requires a distinct identifier.

You sound like a typical boomer that describes the ethnicity of anyone except those the boomer otherwise sees as "normal." us-foreign-policy

To me it's like if I say I enjoyed the sunrise" and someone says, "you mean the Earth sunrise?"

You don't live light years away from trans people.

a human is likely to be talking about is the one we experience on Earth.

Do you not see the tiny bubble world you're perceiving everyone else from when you presume "a human" by default is only perceiving your tiny bubble world and otherwise doesn't count?

but in general the default "sunrise" a human is likely to be talking about is the one we experience on Earth.

In this example they, the CIS are human, and the non-cis is implied to be what? Non-human? This person sucks.
