words you hate??

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.

I will henceforth try to use this in my work emails whenever applicable.
 
"Partner"

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

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

Now it's flipped. 🙃
 
"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.
 
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?

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
