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.
“Would of” annoys me to no end. Which is silly because English isn’t my first language and I know I make many mistakes, but would of is just… Ugh. Ick.
Mama, momma, mommas…
“Hey Facebook mommas, I’ve got a question about…”
I don’t know why, but it annoys the shit out of me.
Similarly, not a fan of when teachers and parents talk about their “kiddos.”
Feels like they’re needlessly using a more playful childish term to make themselves part of a separate “in group” who “gets it.”
I hadn’t thought about that one. I occasionally use the word kiddo, but only to say, “hey kiddo!” I never use it to talk about my kids, like “we took the kiddos to the park yesterday.”
Yeah, it’s specifically the not talking to a kid version that bothers me.
I pick up a subtext of self-importance and I think that’s what I find irksome. A mom is a parent. A momma is a special parent who will do anything for their baby, you’d better watch out. A kid is a child. A kiddo is a specific child who has a close bond with their momma or teacher that you wouldn’t understand. That’s the vibe I get.
I’d like to introduce to my friend Freud.
I don’t think it’s some latent psychological issue. I get along great with my mom, and I’ve never felt any resentment toward her. I’m also not bothered by words like mom, moms, mother, etc. I don’t even mind when my sons call my wife “mommy.” It’s just that one word, “momma,” that bugs me. I wish I had an explanation.

I feel like museums should get a pass on this one.
But along these lines, I’m SO over “bespoke.”
Theres a hairdressers near me that is “Bespoke hair artistry” or some other pretentious bullshit.
I just threw up in my mouth a little.
Its not as bad as the overpriced clothing store “Bazaar Boutique Emporium”
Which is basically all white linen clothing.
10 years ago I learnt that southern New Zealand slang uses bespoke or custom as an indicator of poor quality. Someone shittly welded a tow ball onto their car, that’s a ‘custom job’.
Your poorly assembled second hand IKEA bookshelf that’s falling apart and well fucked? A bespoke piece of furniture.
Those words have never bothered me since. Thanks kiwis.
I actually love the word curate :(
Unless used pretentiously. But then any word is annoying
Lemme get that shark cootchie board of curated meats
I don’t even like when people say that in context of a playlist on a music streaming platform…
I mean maybe they spent a lot of time picking individual songs but it’s still just a digital playlist, nothing that special IMO
Would you settle for a single clergyman?

“Cyber” 🙄
I thought you’d never ask!
Oh yeah absolutely. I’m a programmer and I see so many companies and recruiters etc use Cyber instead of Cybersecurity. It drives me absolutely mad, but these type of people drive me mad anyways. It’s probably the same crowd who ruined AI by overhyping it into its grave, the same crowd who were hyped by web 3.0 and the whole Blockchain craze, and probably all those other dumb crazes before it.
Still, this cyber thing seems to permeate everything, and I’ve heard people using the term who I otherwise respect. For me it’s a quick way to instantly become very sceptical of whatever follows the term
Ironic considering your username is almost an ASL
American Sign Language?
Age, Sex, Location. It’s shorthand from old chatrooms. Used to strike up a conversation which could lead to cyber (short for cybersex).
Nah, it’s an HTTP error.
i know i’m being a
but i despise the term ‘taxpayer funds’/‘taxpayer money’. besides being completely wrong in nearly all cases, it places taxes above the people, above labor.
‘American taxpayer is paying for the genocide in Gaza’. No, every person/entity using U.S. Dollars is paying for it. Even foreign countries are indirectly paying for it.
My son started saying “what the sigma?” constantly. I’ve tried to figure out where it came from and only landed on some “Sigma Male” shit on youtube.
Drives me nuts.
lol i think your too focused on the sigma part. What the _____? has a similar meaning as far as i can tell. Some guy just said sigma instead one time on tiktok and it sounded funny so people copied him.
What the heck
What the hell
What the fuck
etc all basically are used the same altho what the sigma tends to be used in a more lighthearted way from what i can tell. Like what the fuck is more angry.
Hit your kids harder, dude.

Shut up, baby, I know it.
I think it might be from a SpongeBob SquarePants meme. You might wanna start there. Not sure why that’s tickling my brain.
Oh and I just found this: https://knowyourmeme.com/editorials/guides/whats-erm-what-the-sigma-meme-about-the-catchphrase-and-overstimulation-video-explained
So it looks like started as a TikTok thing and then spread into the SpongeBob world.
I’m not sure why my ADHD brain latched on to this question but I HAD to find the answer. I don’t know if this is definitive but it’s at least a direction.
Yeah, just “sigma” goes back to sigma male claptrap. But as with all internet memes, it evolved super rapidly and took on layers. “Sigma” started to mean just “the best”, not in reference to male hierarchy necessarily. Then there was a cartoon clip with Squidward from SpongeBob where he said “what the sigma” and it went viral.
Websearch “what the sigma meme” today and you will get text and video explanations of the meme for old folks like you and me. I prefer ones from teachers who interact with middle schoolers; our frontline troops facing the bleeding edge of internet memespeak.
Start using it yourself. Use it in awkward, wrong, uncool ways. They’ll drop that shit like, “What the sigma Dad!?!”
Also use it around your co-workers and peers who have children and would recognize it when you want to really get under their skin, it’s skibidi sigma on cap
I like bet. It’s just saying “You can bet on it” in a fun quick way.
Get a new son
Supermassive?
Black hole
Holding down the fort.
You hold the fort. It’s a military term. It’s not taking off if you let go of it.
The corporate overenthusiasm “LET’S FUCKING GOOOOO”.
Ugh. Sure, maybe the product launch went great, but still. Ugh.
Any corporation or even companies social media account being memey is annoying.
I just hate it when people try to elongate the word GO with more Os.
It’s now a new word. It’s GOO. Any further Os just make it gooier, not goier.
Can we just mean corporate speak in general. I can’t fucking stand all the buzzwords that get tossed around
I work as a barista and get much too annoyed by people ordering a “regular coffee”.
Like I know that 99.999% of the time they mean a drip/filter coffee (excluding that one lady that one time who was surprised I didn’t parse “regular coffee” as a latte), but like can you just say drip coffee? Or even simply “coffee”!
I honestly don’t even know why it annoys me this much.
Ah, the four basic types of coffee, Regular, Posh, Italian and Wrong.
Personally I’m a fan of Irish coffee, but most coffee bars seem to frown on busting out the whiskey at 8a.
Here a regular coffee would mean a milk based drink. Something like a cappuccino but not quite. Nestle ass drink.
This sounds delicious. Where is here so I can be there?
Nestle ass drink
Where do you think?
Pakistan, OK actually more dalgona than cappuccino
Okay, I’ve never even heard of a Dalgona before, and that sounds incredible. Like somewhere basically incredible hot chocolate is the default coffee
I’m a waitress and “regular coffee” means different things across regions. Some people mean just “drip, not decaf” with no indication of cream or sugar. Some people mean “drip, black” with no indication of caffeine content. And where I grew up, “regular” means “2 cream 2 sugar”, as in you’d be asked if you wanted your coffee “regular or black”. It’s the worst.
That latte lady was just crazy though… unless she meant “my regular”?
Regular coffee is a coffee. People say regular coffee because they’ve gotten fatigue from “which type?” questions. I’m more annoyed that the understanding of coffee has shifted away from the default just being an espresso. Over here in Spain if you ask for cafe you’ll get a cafe solo.
“I’m just sayin’” ok but you’re still an asshole.
Also “Not gonna lie…” to start a sentence. Well thank you for that decency?
This one makes me crazy. And I’ve heard it so much I’ve caught myself saying it which makes me angry with myself.
YES
“Know what I’m sayin’?”
“Not really. Do you know what you’re saying?”
It’s always to mitigate something heinous. “I’m just sayin’, Mussolini made the trains run on time.”
Places using “gluten-friendly” to mean “gluten-free”. I am gluten-UNfriendly. I do not want gluten. They’ve tried to be cute and actually managed to make the term mean the opposite of what it’s supposed to.
Yeah wouldn’t it be “celiac-disease-haver-friendly”?
You would think! 😅
Pah-sketti
You’re 65 Brad, use big boy words.
Is that for spaghetti? I actually love people who naturally say words in a different way. Especially if they speak a different dialect or language.
Yes, for spaghetti.
And yes it’s for people who know they are ‘making a funny’, it doesn’t bother me for kids or others.
I’m with you then. All the food ‘content creators’ and their bs pisses me off
Nah that’s rizzler shit on God sigma 10k
pretentious
