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.

"I could care less" to mean "I could NOT care less"

"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.

Upskill. I'm not 'upskilling' someone, I'm training them.

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.

Enshittification. Everyone just learned a new word and has to use it at least once in every comment section to feel smart.

'Should of" instead of "should've"

"living my/your/their best life"

Please gtfo

im still a bit salty about 'literally'

also the constant failure to say 'i could not care less' correctly

Someone could take all the answers here and create a copypasta equivalent of fingernails on a chalkboard.

I cringe so hard at the twitterist carebear-hugbox way of smugly claiming the intellectual high ground and shaming somebody:

"Be better." or "Do better."

The sentiment isn't terrible, but it's prevalent use is obviously just dripping with arrogance and thrown out in the most petty ways. Ugh!

"I'm just sayin'" ok but you're still an asshole.

No, you don't have a "challenge" for me. You have a problem and are trying to make it mine.

The corporate overenthusiasm "LET'S FUCKING GOOOOO".

Ugh. Sure, maybe the product launch went great, but still. Ugh.

Not a term, but a lack thereof:

People I have to regularly interact with for work have been excluding "to be", especially with "needs", and it's infuriating.

This issue needs escalated. That report needs fleshed out. Let me know if anything needs cleared up.

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.

"It is what it is"

I get the sentiment behind it, it's just usually so defeatist/dismissive of a situation to me.

More of a grammatical mistake, but "should of" instead of "should've" or "should have" annoys the hell out of me for some reason. I completely get how people make the mistake, but it's more effort than just typing it correctly.

If someone uses the word 'curate' they'd better be preparing to show me a shoebox filled with their favorite vaseline glass and not a pile of random deli meat on a wooden board

So many things. In written form, I hate when someone writes "Period." after they make a point to mean "this can't be argued" or whatever. My good bitch, I don't think you understand how arguing works. 😆

"Full stop" is a close second.

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.

Ironically, the phrase "rustles my jimmies" really burns my biscuits.

People using double negatives incorrectly. Like "I didn't do nothing!"

The replacement of the term “conspiracy theory” with just “conspiracy”.

That’s two different things. If we equate the two semantically we can’t discuss them.

“Cyber” 🙄

you can't just say Perchance
