Y'all need to cut it out with saying Y'all.

Honestly, I have as little problem with that as hearing "you all" or "you guys" or "you (insert group)." I grew up (mostly) in the south so that probably normalized it for me.

I get annoyed when people write it, not when they say/use it generally, for some reason.

Or when people who aren't from the south or rural US over-use it.
Can be super annoying.

Not a word so much as I hate how a lot of people take things painfully literal. Like it wasn't that long ago where many people watched enough comedy and satire to default to understanding things as a joke or an absurdist take. Where it was seen as a character flaw if you couldn't get the joke/satire/sarcasm. Now... it feels like the status quo. And then when they fail to see things clearly as a joke, they moralize against it. (Real talk... people who take a moral stance against a satire is inadvertently funny)

"Emblematic." "Problematic." And the practice of ending sentences that are statements with a rise in vocal pitch that makes it sound like a question.

A word so stupid I can feel my iq decline when I see or hear it.

Gaffers users it way too much.

Ick Factor especially when women say this in regards to certain groups of men when they themselves have that "Ick Factor"

"Partner"

Why do I hear this everywhere now? Just say "wife/husband/girlfriend."

"Partner"

Crazy.

"Partner" was a term gay couples would use before gay marriage became more widespread.

Now it's flipped.

Slop.

Gaffers users it way too much.

I'm one of them.
Love the word, mainly because it's not offensive or expletive imo.

 

[Hyet]

"Problematic"

Says nothing about whats being discussed, doesnt point to a problem or issue and it's just generally used to hide the real reason to dismiss something or to signal something.

 

[RoboFu]

Bespoke is a big one. Something wrong with with custom or unique? You just want that shakespearean panache to that one word when all your other words are of a 3rd grade playground vocabulary?

 

[Sinozen]

I hate the word treat for some reason

Based, chad, pog, rekt or whatever

 

[The Fartist]

Dudes that say "my guy"

I don't mind the kids saying that stuff. Kids are always going to say dumb and weird shit. But guys in their 30s and 40s unironically calling things based is odd.

We don't have enough friendly/laid back + respectful words in English. I use 'mate' sometimes in text because of that. Especially since we destroyed "Mr/Mrs/sir/ma'am" & Covid destroyed the handshake.. we lack ways to signal respect & friendliness :\

I hate vibe

What does that mean?
Can't say I've heard it before now.
