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.

Especially in news headlines: slams, blasts, mind-blowing, hack (or lifehack)

I’m sure there are others, but that’s all my brain can handle at the moment.

Aww, thanks! I tried to find a very uncuddly animal and show it some love. Their claws (talons?) are terrifying.

Ah all the typical clickbait words. I hate them too. Lifehack in particular is a word I’m sick of now

I sometimes say “I could care less, but not by much”

Thing is… this sort of makes sense if you say it with a hint of sarcasm. But curiously the only people that use this phrase are Americans. And we all know how much they understand sarcasm 🤣.

In the example I gave it was pretty clear, but in other phrases it can get pretty confusing

Same with “Do you mind doing x?” “Yeah sure”; so you mind doing it? I get what they mean with the response, but it annoys me every time haha

I’ve always interpreted it as meaning that I care so little for something I can’t even be bothered to put the effort in to not care about it as much as I should… but, yeah, it’s used incorrectly way too often and makes no sense most of the time.

“Ding ding ding!” When someone agrees with something you wrote, but wants to make sure that you know that they already knew and claim ownership of the statement that you wrote. Condesending asshole. I did not arrive at your opinion late.

“Meanwhile” in cooking recipes. Just no. I am following a recipe in stepwise order. You do not get to tell me what I should have already done in the previous step.

The entire way recipes are written is trash.

“Add the flour and stir gently”: How much flour? Why do I have to scroll back up to check?!

It makes sense to have the ingredients first for making a shopping list and prepping. However, I do agree, with recipes being online, it should be a small task to include the quantity in the description too, even if it is adjustable for different servings.

Because the amounts can vary based on the number of servings, but the method doesn’t.

I’m doubling the amounts anyway, just give them to me in-line!

Normally, portioning out the ingredients would be the first step of the process and is all done at once.

Probably not normally, but ideally. I doubt mise en place is all that common in most homes.

People getting brake and break mixed up annoys me, but I get it. If this is you, your car has brakes and you take a break from work after breaking your arm.
