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.

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.

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 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.

You hold the fort. It’s a military term. It’s not taking off if you let go of it.

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.
