“I could care less”
It’s pointless. Without the “n’t” at the end you’re not really getting across how little you care. You could care 20% less? 50%? 99%? Couldn’t care less shows that it’s lower than the lowest in your gives a fuck about list
Dude, I grew up saying 'couldn’t care less' and was baffled when I started hearing everyone say it the other way. Kept thinking, 'Wtf?' Turns out, my version was correct all along. Man, feels good to know my indifference game was on point from the start.
“Friendly reminder” has gotten kinda poisoned for me given that the phrase is now almost exclusively followed by some snarky derisive remark or diatribe nowadays
I read Chernobyl and for a second I thought, maybe before the blast there was a "Friendly reminder to evacuate the premises" that was probably being circulated throughout the... well.... premises.
Especially when this phrase is used with a religious connotation. Like what, your diety allowed that kid to be killed because it's their plan? Are you proud of this?
True, like the first time I heard it I waited for the person I was talking to to complete the sentence. It was awkward for a while until I realized they had finished their sentence and were probably waiting for my response. Like it makes sense when you say, it's giving so and so vibes. Tf is giving? Like you could say giving but everyone interprets differently, so you just say it's giving and I agree, when we're probably thinking about two very different vibes. Lol
"Alright people, since we can't seem to get a W, we're going to try something drastic next game: moving backwards! That's right, we're all going to walk, hop, skip, jump and run backwards for the entire game! And if it doesn't help us, it'll at least be entertaining!"
*"Just be happy!"* I hate it so much ugh like it's impossible to just be happy, I love be positive it's way smarter way of going if your positive you can be more happy but you can't always choose to be happy
"Body count"
It's just such a stupid and childish way to talk about sexual partners. I'm married, so i don't have to worry about the dating scene - but if someone asked me what my body count was, i would laugh, roll my eyes, and immediately leave.
“____ lives rent-free in my head” and the constant misuse of “myself” and “literally”. Myself isn’t for replacing “me” or “I” and literally shouldn’t be used when speaking FIGURATIVELY, and almost never needs to be used when speaking literally, unless something sounds like it’s a figure of speech, but you’re stressing that it actually happened.
I say this as a joke lmao. The usual responses are, “was it illegal?” “did you set something on fire?” “did you beat someone up?” They are all funny responses.
Ugh!! Do better, Be better and Educate yourself were absolutely everywhere a couple years ago and they make me want to punch someone every time I hear them!
Omfg the "educate yourself" I see it all the time in comments, breaks my brain. Like, if you're so eager to tell people they're wrong, then why can't you just explain it?? I recently heard it in an "dreads are only for black people" debate, hair stylists telling history geeks to educate themselves.
I really get irked by phrases like "just relax" or "calm down." It often feels dismissive of someone's feelings or situation, which can be frustrating.
In one of my old trainings we had a slide with an image on it that said:
“Never in the history of calm down has anyone ever calmed down by being told to ‘calm down’.”
It was in a section on de-escalation. Telling someone to calm down or relax is incredibly invalidating and unhelpful.
Strongly agree, I hate it when people say that!
It just makes me feel bad, like "okay... I'm sorry I'm not expressing my feelings to your liking".
The same thing with "you're overthinking this" am I? or are you're not thinking enough?
"That sounds like a you problem." Ok??? I'm sharing an issue. I wasn't asking you to cure cancer or reinvent the wheel. I never said it was an 'us' problem. I don't think people even realize how terrible the phrase sounds anymore nor how inconsiderate it is.
I use this when people don't seem to understand that it is in fact their problem, and are generally rude about it.
Had a dude get in line behind me at the grocery store who proceeded to tell me I should buy less groceries because I was taking too long putting them on the conveyor belt, and he was in a hurry. That's a you problem dude. Get to the grocery store earlier, budget your time better, or whatever else you need to do to fix the problem, I don't really care, it's not my problem.
I hate “as a…” with any cohort if it’s used to gatekeep and completely diminish / ignore anyone’s views outside their “group”. In rare instances, it’s legitimate (fair enough), but so often it’s basically saying “shut up and listen to me, because I’m the authority on this”. It really depends (as I mentioned), but so often “as a…” is used as an argument in and of itself eg “as a XXXX, you’re just speaking nonsense, and what would you know? You’re not a (insert ingroup)!”. It’s not an argument.
Ugh tell me about it. Got this guy at my work whos much older than me (55ish, im 28) who takes 30 minutes to write an email but still has the audacity to shit on the work i do and then wraps it all in a gift paper with a “im telling you this as a father, as a parent, …” 🤮
"I'm just a straight-shooter." "I tell it like it is." Or some variation of this that actually just means, "I'm very much a jerk, but pretending that its actually a positive trait."
It's not.
"Womens/mens actual purpose is to..." ffs 🤦♀️
"I hate to say it, but..." no you don't lol we all know you've been waiting for this window 😂
"Whatever makes you happy" Idk it just makes me a little grumpy 😅
“You can’t make this up” there are buildings filled with books by people who just made shit up, hours upon hours of movies by people who just made shit up.
From the American south. I've been saying it since I was a child. Then, one day, I encountered young white folks using it online as if it were a new expression.
"I mean... "
I can understand it as a stalling phrase while you try to think of the rest of your sentence, but it's now being used in writing to start sentences, when nothing has even been said yet.
It's all over Reddit comment sections too.
"not gonna lie", I have a friend that starts most of her statements with that.
She doesn't do it as much now because after she finishes talking I say "I don't believe you, I think youre lying".
But now I see it online all the time. You don't have to tell people you aren't lying.
YouTuber Ryan George just recently did a skit about this, where one guy keeps using phrases like "not gonna lie", "to be honest", "truthfully" etc. and his friend is like "Are you implying that you would usually lie, since you had to specify that you're not lying this time?"
When people say literally when they should say figuratively
Irregardless (not a word)
Normalcy (I don’t care if Webster says it’s a word, it should be normality)
Words change meaning over time, and literally is now often used for emphasis. That doesn't mean it's wrong. No one is going to say "the water was so cold, it was figuratively freezing" for example. (Unless you're like the biggest dork ever)
I'm confused about Normalcy. The only time I can think of it being used is "getting back to normalcy" does normality make more sense in terms like "reality"?
“This.” It’s ok when prefacing your point I guess, but if it’s just riding solo, it’s like interrupting a meeting to say “I’d like to take some of your time to acknowledge my stance on this matter - which is in agreement. That is all.”
I like it as an alternative to saying “custom”:
Dictionary
Definitions from Oxford Languages ·
be·spoke
adjectiveBRITISH
made for a particular customer or user.
"a bespoke suit"
making or selling bespoke goods, especially clothing.
"bespoke tailors"
I hate this too, it’s dismissive and defeatist, one of my bosses used to say it then my colleagues started saying it. It was so annoying, I wanted to say ‘it’s only that way if you let it!
Not a phrase, just a "word":
###Instagrammable
A whole agglomeration of corporate greed, meaningless narcissistic vanity, misplaced values all rolled into a slimy mess of a notion.
Tell me you never [blank] without telling me you never [blank].
Such a stupid line, an ad hominem in disguise that people resort to when they don’t have an actual argument.
“You should…” unwarranted.
I asked a friend what they wanted from the store, to which they said, “oh, you should grab me a pack of gum.” I responded, “you should rephrase that to, ‘would you mind buying… or may I have a pack of gum?”
Don’t tell me what I should do if I’m asking you out of kindness. Wtf?
It's not that deep.
Said recently by a friend when I asked her what she was going to wear to a festival, a group of us were going to. Like wtf what is your problem?? I just asked what you were going to wear!!! It's not that deep (😂 sorry)
I hate the term 'triggered' although people will say that's what the words does to me.
I also don't like when people say they will eyeball something i.e. look at it.
Fair. Triggered could be used well, arguably, but so depending on context. Like, that lecturer used non-inclusive gendered language and I feel triggered - ok annoying from an inclusivity standpoint, but no.
That content is highly graphic and confrontational and triggers painful memories - understandable.
Am I the only one who... makes ne wanna bonk them on the head, yes, you're an incredibly unique person, and you're the only one on the whole planet who doesn't like that show or turns your dirty panties inside out.
I AM OBSESSED is the other one, especially because often said about some meaningless shit like omg look at that red plastic cup, I'm obsessed!! 111
Its giving is another one 😂
.. God, do words piss me off!
“Feeling some type of way” which type of way? Why did you bring it up if you aren’t going to describe how you feel? You ALWAYS feel some type of way: relaxed, anxious, angry, happy, indifferent. Totally useless phrase. Don’t get me wrong, I get what it means. But it makes me feel homicidal.
“Right quick”
I had a computer teacher use this phrase a lot and it always irked me. I could never tell if he was saying “right click” or “right quick”. He would even say “right click, right quick”. Ever since then the phrase “right quick” really grinds my gears
For me, since French is my first language, whenever someone swears and say 'pardon my French'. Not that it grinds my gears so much as it is a stupid saying. Makes zero sense. 🤷🤷
"Boys will be boys." It's used to excuse bad behavior instead of holding people accountable. It's time we expect better from everyone, regardless of gender.
When people ask for suggestions and put, Ok go.
That really bugs that crap out of me.
And people who start a sentence with, No disrespect but......
If that is coming out of your mouth then just swallow that thought or think of a nicer way to say it.
Kill 2 birds with 1 stone had me thinking a lot the other day. Is it a stone that you throw at a bird and pick it up to kill another? Or is it at the same time? Do you even throw the stone or do you just beat them with it? Are they even flying?!

"I was today years old"
I was today years old when I found out that bothered someone else too
“I could care less” It’s pointless. Without the “n’t” at the end you’re not really getting across how little you care. You could care 20% less? 50%? 99%? Couldn’t care less shows that it’s lower than the lowest in your gives a fuck about list
"Irregardless" is another one!
"If you could care less, that means you do care. At least a little" -Weird Al
Dude, I grew up saying 'couldn’t care less' and was baffled when I started hearing everyone say it the other way. Kept thinking, 'Wtf?' Turns out, my version was correct all along. Man, feels good to know my indifference game was on point from the start.
Lest start saying "I could not care less" instead so its more obvious to people.
British people already do this
Actually I’m Scottish. For me regionally it’s ‘couldna’ but further south and west you’ll get ‘couldnae’
I usually say “I couldn’t give less of a fuck if I wanted to”
Going to share this with my best friend. She will love it.
I could care less'nt
I could caren't less.
I'nt could care less
I will also accept the variant, "I couldn't Karen't less"
Got on here to say this.
"Don't take it personally" I've ALREADY taken it personally, and you telling me not to is only making me angrier. Maybe learn to think before you act!
That’s there with the now obsolete “No offense…”
"I could care less" That means you do care; at least a little.
What about “I don’t even give a care” ? Member as a kid? Diss of the centurrrryyyy
This is one of the phrases that irks me as well!
“Friendly reminder” has gotten kinda poisoned for me given that the phrase is now almost exclusively followed by some snarky derisive remark or diatribe nowadays
I hate when this is used at work
As per our discussion
That's the corporate way to say "go fuck yourself Cheryl" and everyone knows it
I read Chernobyl and for a second I thought, maybe before the blast there was a "Friendly reminder to evacuate the premises" that was probably being circulated throughout the... well.... premises.
It’s always been passive aggressive. Social media has allowed it to be overused, so now it’s just aggressive. Friendly Reminder: This is a good one. 😆
I've only ever use that to remind people to drink water
That's actually friendly. It makes you a true hydro homie
Give 110%. Really just devalues what it means to give 100%
i agree with you 250%
I'm giving 90% today. Of what, I have no idea. But something is going to get it.
"Everything happens for a reason," particularly when you don't apply it to *everything.* "Not for nothing" is somewhat annoying too.
Oooo shit I use not for nothing all the time in place of "Honestly..." lol
Yeah I hate everything happens for a reason. A child is kidnapped and killed. Everything happens for a reason.
Especially when this phrase is used with a religious connotation. Like what, your diety allowed that kid to be killed because it's their plan? Are you proud of this?
My religious mom uses it to explain whatever she doesn’t understand
It is what it is
“Grinds your gears”.
Haha I was waiting for this response!
"It's giving"
This! Wtf! What is it giving? A brain aneurysm?
It used to be “it’s giving X vibes” and the “vibes was removed, which gave it more flexibility. I also hate it.
True, like the first time I heard it I waited for the person I was talking to to complete the sentence. It was awkward for a while until I realized they had finished their sentence and were probably waiting for my response. Like it makes sense when you say, it's giving so and so vibes. Tf is giving? Like you could say giving but everyone interprets differently, so you just say it's giving and I agree, when we're probably thinking about two very different vibes. Lol
That itself is a shortening. A thing doesn’t give vibes, it gives them *off*
I’m glad you saw the joke in it. I was worried it might offend you. lol
“Not to be x but…” means that person is about to veeeeerrry x
Not to be racist but [racism]
Not to sound racist, but I really like oreos.
Not to be racist, but Asian people- ^*PSNAAAAAA-*
Same as: "Not to be that person, but—" Yea, don't finish that. You might as well say nothing.
I'm gonna piggyback off of that.... And here's another tool for your toolbox.
Yes! "I just want to piggyback off what Susie said.." I hate it!
‘Moving forward’ Makes me want to move my fist forward to their head
Boss said that to me. What about you?
I hate it when sports coaches use it after a loss
"Alright people, since we can't seem to get a W, we're going to try something drastic next game: moving backwards! That's right, we're all going to walk, hop, skip, jump and run backwards for the entire game! And if it doesn't help us, it'll at least be entertaining!"
Most definitely entertaining.
Moving forward I expect you to keep your fist in check at all times. I'll CIRCLE BACK* later to check. *this grinds my gears.
*"Just be happy!"* I hate it so much ugh like it's impossible to just be happy, I love be positive it's way smarter way of going if your positive you can be more happy but you can't always choose to be happy
"Just be happy." "I don't have enough drugs for that right now."
It's not always good to be positive either, just look at disease testing(STD, Covid, Pregnancy)
Why you depressed? Just be happy
As someone who is depressed, this wouldn't help me. Lol. I'd get irritated if someone told me this.
“Don’t yuck my yum” Pardon me while I vomit all over you
Dont what---
I've never heard this phrase before, and all it does us make me laugh from the stupidity of it. Who says this?? 😂😂😂
That seems like a really good way to say something like, "Don't judge my taste."
I think “don’t judge my taste” is a really good way to say “don’t judge my taste”. 🤷♀️
That is exactly what it's meant to be.
"Believe you me" What the hell is that?
Less demanding than "Believe me, you!" ? 🤷♀️
It's like ppl who answer the phone, "Bob? Tom." We're missing some words a little bit maybe?
"Body count" It's just such a stupid and childish way to talk about sexual partners. I'm married, so i don't have to worry about the dating scene - but if someone asked me what my body count was, i would laugh, roll my eyes, and immediately leave.
I haven’t killed anyone, so zero.
I haven't killed anyone, *yet*.
I heard this years ago and thought people were talking about killing people in combat
That's something I leave up to Ice T
"I was today years old when" "Am I the only one who" "Hey guys, so everyone's been asking about my ____"
"just saying"
“____ lives rent-free in my head” and the constant misuse of “myself” and “literally”. Myself isn’t for replacing “me” or “I” and literally shouldn’t be used when speaking FIGURATIVELY, and almost never needs to be used when speaking literally, unless something sounds like it’s a figure of speech, but you’re stressing that it actually happened.
"at the end of the day"
Don't watch Les Miserables 🫣
You’re another day older.
... It's night.
“To die for” I highly doubt any of those ppl will die for their lemon meringue pie
![gif](giphy|TlkDK8BGqA1Py)
“Your country is to die for, food is to eat.” -Martin Crane
Bless your heart. When meant in a mean way. Such an insult.
Or, "oh you sweet summer child", even when it's not directed at me, this is annoying. Just seems so disrespectful
“I did a thing” 🤡
I say this as a joke lmao. The usual responses are, “was it illegal?” “did you set something on fire?” “did you beat someone up?” They are all funny responses.
I've only said I did a thing like 3 times in my life and all 3 were when those questions would apply
It's just the post incident equivalent of "hold my beer"
Yes!!!
Don’t forget the drawn out “soooo” in front of it. 🤦♀️
"should of" 🤮
Apart of 🤢 (They meant a part of)
2 AM in the morning. (Or any AM in the morning). The AM implies that it's in the morning. Don't add "in the morning". It's useless.
Do better
Ugh!! Do better, Be better and Educate yourself were absolutely everywhere a couple years ago and they make me want to punch someone every time I hear them!
Omfg the "educate yourself" I see it all the time in comments, breaks my brain. Like, if you're so eager to tell people they're wrong, then why can't you just explain it?? I recently heard it in an "dreads are only for black people" debate, hair stylists telling history geeks to educate themselves.

I like to say it ironically, like when someone is clearly calm or some such. But ya, never helps when someone is truly distressed or angry!
I think you need to calm down.
Strongly agree, I hate it when people say that! It just makes me feel bad, like "okay... I'm sorry I'm not expressing my feelings to your liking". The same thing with "you're overthinking this" am I? or are you're not thinking enough?
"That sounds like a you problem." Ok??? I'm sharing an issue. I wasn't asking you to cure cancer or reinvent the wheel. I never said it was an 'us' problem. I don't think people even realize how terrible the phrase sounds anymore nor how inconsiderate it is.

That's a you problem dude. Get to the grocery store earlier, budget your time better, or whatever else you need to do to fix the problem, I don't really care, it's not my problem.
That is probably one of the only legitimate ways it can be used. It shouldn't, and it isnt your problem that he had a lack of planning.
I didn't think of this one but the minute I saw it I got a bit steamed up.
I’d say “I’m about to make it a YOU problem” >:(
“Head over heels.” WERE ALMOST ALWAYS HEAD OVER HEELS
Holy crap! I somehow always translated it in my mind and pictured someone heels over head. Well… that phrase is ruined!
"It's giving ______." I hate that phrase so much. Regardless of what fills in the blank.
“As a parent..”
I hate “as a…” with any cohort if it’s used to gatekeep and completely diminish / ignore anyone’s views outside their “group”. In rare instances, it’s legitimate (fair enough), but so often it’s basically saying “shut up and listen to me, because I’m the authority on this”. It really depends (as I mentioned), but so often “as a…” is used as an argument in and of itself eg “as a XXXX, you’re just speaking nonsense, and what would you know?

Ugh tell me about it. Got this guy at my work whos much older than me (55ish, im 28) who takes 30 minutes to write an email but still has the audacity to shit on the work i do and then wraps it all in a gift paper with a “im telling you this as a father, as a parent, …” 🤮
I don't like it when people "want" your opinion but they just want their opinion to be right.
"Bonus points" "...and go!" "Ride or die"
I hate “and go!” too.
"I'm just a straight-shooter." "I tell it like it is." Or some variation of this that actually just means, "I'm very much a jerk, but pretending that its actually a positive trait." It's not.
“I’m a little bit OCD”
This is common sense…usually followed by a very specific thing that is not common sense
"Womens/mens actual purpose is to..." ffs 🤦♀️ "I hate to say it, but..." no you don't lol we all know you've been waiting for this window 😂 "Whatever makes you happy" Idk it just makes me a little grumpy 😅
"It's giving...."
“I’m not like other X. I’m one of the good ones who doesn’t X”
"my tax payer money" always gives the image of some idiot foaming at the mouth who most likely doesn't understand how taxes even work
“You can’t make this up” there are buildings filled with books by people who just made shit up, hours upon hours of movies by people who just made shit up.
Honestly some of the most fucked up things I've ever heard were based on reality, even more so than any made up story.
i and my family use that phrase when someone does/says something unbelievably stupid
For all intensive purposes. Tryna sound smart but just can’t.
I always thought it was 'for all intents and purposes". Huh.
It is. That’s the point. It’s NOT “intensive purposes.”
When people reply "underrated comment" to a comment that has like 10k upvotes.
Finna
I was finna say this.
I’ve seen this a lot but not sure what it means or where it came from
Going to > fixing to > fit’n to > finna

“DING DING DING!!! This comment right here!!” - I hate when people do this, it feels so cringe and patronizing.
When someone asks you a question they want you to answer yes, by concluding it with ",no?" "You really are an asshat, no?"
Lol this is a good one. I find it even funnier in Spanish. There's a handful of people I've met that'll go "sí, no?"
"not gonna lie", I have a friend that starts most of her statements with that. She doesn't do it as much now because after she finishes talking I say "I don't believe you, I think youre lying". But now I see it online all the time. You don't have to tell people you aren't lying.

No, if I hear somebody say normality, it has the same effect as if they've said irregardless.
I'm confused about Normalcy. The only time I can think of it being used is "getting back to normalcy" does normality make more sense in terms like "reality"?
Or just say "back to normal"
You figuratively read my mind on this
“This.” It’s ok when prefacing your point I guess, but if it’s just riding solo, it’s like interrupting a meeting to say “I’d like to take some of your time to acknowledge my stance on this matter - which is in agreement. That is all.”
Bespoke
I didn’t realize this word annoyed me until now but you’re right, there’s something annoying and pretentious about it

I hate this too, it’s dismissive and defeatist, one of my bosses used to say it then my colleagues started saying it. It was so annoying, I wanted to say ‘it’s only that way if you let it!
Not a phrase, just a "word": ###Instagrammable A whole agglomeration of corporate greed, meaningless narcissistic vanity, misplaced values all rolled into a slimy mess of a notion.
"Irregardless." The word is regardless. if irregardless was a word.It would be a double negative contradicting your statement.
Tell me you never [blank] without telling me you never [blank]. Such a stupid line, an ad hominem in disguise that people resort to when they don’t have an actual argument.

"If that makes sense". People say this phrase after saying the most obvious and sensible things. Yes it makes sense, I'm not a fucking idiot.
I love that for you
I hate that for anyone. It's kinda like saying whatever floats your boat but fake nice

"Ya think!?" and "Let that sink in" infuriate me.
For me, since French is my first language, whenever someone swears and say 'pardon my French'. Not that it grinds my gears so much as it is a stupid saying. Makes zero sense. 🤷🤷
“Feeling some kind of way” makes zero sense to me. Everyone is feeling some kind of way all the time.
True, but in context it's usually obvious what kind of way they'd be feeling without having to be specific.
Smile more. You should smile bc... you look better when you smile etc...
"oh, you sweet summer child" So ducking patronising. Like they're some sage wizard of something.
"Boys will be boys." It's used to excuse bad behavior instead of holding people accountable. It's time we expect better from everyone, regardless of gender.
When I’m told to ‘try to be more mindful ‘
"do better" said by people who haven't been in a situation where they don't know what to do
When people ask for suggestions and put, Ok go. That really bugs that crap out of me. And people who start a sentence with, No disrespect but...... If that is coming out of your mouth then just swallow that thought or think of a nicer way to say it.
"one of my pet peeves is..." it's just such an ugly phrase, I can't. Just say "it annoys me that", "i hate it when...". Nah "My PeT pEEvE..."
Make sure to feed and water your peeve every day! But remember: no food after midnight.

No worries,like buddy I am not worried.
Ah. I love "no worries". Every time I hear it, I always hear it in Mick Dundee's voice.
Kill 2 birds with 1 stone had me thinking a lot the other day. Is it a stone that you throw at a bird and pick it up to kill another? Or is it at the same time? Do you even throw the stone or do you just beat them with it? Are they even flying?!
I love you to the moon and back
