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.

Its always interchangeable with Often. Just use Often.

For me it's "I'm offended" or "this offends me". I get it, some topics might be triggering for some people but if you get offended because someone has a different opinion, that's your problem, not the rest of the world problem.

"Hence why"

Syntactically makes no sense. Just say "that's why," that's what you are trying to say.

Pronouncing realtor like "real-uhh-torrrrr"

Queer. Not all gay men (the one group I can safely speak about) like to be associated with an ex-slur and its connotations.

Kiddos, especially when used by people in professions that work with kids. Right up there with people who unironically say pupper or doggo. Just say kids.

Game Changer, a stupid phrase that is so overused it has become meaningless
