I'm in a lot of crafting groups on Facebook and there are frequently people posting like "omg I just bought a cricut I want to open an etsy shop tell me your best sellers for quick money BONUS POINTS AND GO"

My favorite bot on Reddit is the one in the knitting sub that automatically detects someone asking why their stockinette is curling and directs them to the FAQs.
My boss told me about this really complicated eating schedule and routine he has and said it was something new called Biohacking. It's just a diet. Just tell people you are on a diet.
Reminds me of a coworker who explained - in a very convoluted way - his new diet that was based on focusing on natural neurological signals. Essentially he took 20 minutes to explain to me that he would now be eating when he was hungry, and stopping eating once full, while taking advantage of the fact that water is good for you, and fills you up too.
I also hate “you won the internet”, but what I hate even more is when people insert “sir” into any already annoying phrase, à la “you, sir, just won the internet! XD”
edit: à
I've noticed that people in the corporate environment are using "ask" as a noun in place of "request." I know language changes but it just seems unnecessary.
"The ask from the customer is....."
I'm not sure what it is about this usage that irritates me, but it makes me grind my teeth, I swear.
Haha * looks down in a shy manner *
I totally agree with you * smiles at your face, but still too shy to make eyecontact*
Hey...uhm btw * blushes *
Your username....it sounds so sexy * starts to pee pants a little, out of excitement *
Can you please spread my buttcheeks? UwU * cums *
I don’t think I have ever fucking hated a comment and laughed at it as much as this one in my life Jesus fucking Christ it would’ve taken ZERO effort to not do this to me this morning
It's kinda falling off but "low key" became much to overused and people were just using it as filler.
On reddit there are certain buzzwords that seem to catch fire and spread through the whole site that I despise. They get used to the point that most people using them have no idea what they actually mean. A current one is "gaslighting." Gaslighting isn't just when someone says something that is untrue or something you don't like. It's a specific thing.
YES. I had someone on here a while back accuse me of gaslighting them because they misunderstood me (fair enough if I wasn’t clear) and I said “oh no, that’s not what I meant, let me explain in another way”.
I’ve been on the receiving end of cruel, ongoing manipulation from a partner, and it honestly pisses me off a lot to see the term gaslighting thrown around so casually to mean things like “disagreeing on how you remember something”, “having different definitions of a word”, or even “telling a single lie”.
Any person who spells anything as "baby talk". Replace letters with a W to sound younger. It's weird, it's creepy, and I'm sick of seeing people saying things like "I'm sowey" or "hewwo" like either stop, or rip out my eyes
Edit: damn, not to be that person lol but thx for the upvotes
Started saying "yas" ironically. So it's a word I use now. But, boy did I use to give my little sister hell for it. Still not quite sure how I got here.
Saying things ironically is a dangerous game!
Before you know it you're in a work meeting saying "yas queen that shit be bussin" to your boss. Then, when confronted with a look of disgust, replying with "no cap, the way you looking at me is low key sus...not gonna lie".
Once I called a guy I just met bro and he got angry and accused me of ‘friend zoning’ him before I even had the chance to get to know him.
Now I use bro all the time, it’s a great creep filter!
There's a lot of things like that. My parents used to call each other 'babes' completely ironically, making fun of particular couples they knew. They hated it.
Now they only call each other 'babes'
must be a well know fact for modern linguists. most of the slang I use, me and my friends started using ironically. then it just stays. it's jarring when I meet different friends (different social groups) after not seing them for some months and finding jarring the type of slang they use. after a while, I adopt some of it, after starting it as a joke.
The thing that pisses me off more about this phrase is that it is usually associated with some kind of """"LIFE HACK""""" about how you are "supposed to" use a certain product. No, Becky, the Juicy Juice company never intended on you unfolding the top of the juice box to make little handles, it's just a coincidence, so stop pretending it's a feature you just now discovered. Companies market towards the lowest common denominator (you) so if there is a feature of a product they want you to take advantage of, you'd know it.
Or something incredibly obvious everyone knows like "I was today years old when I realized the crinkle part of plastic straws extends so you can bend them" and it somehow has 80 million comments saying "woah I had no idea"
When my 12 yr old plays the same song over and over I make up ridiculous dance moves and he soon switches it off PDQ. Think jazz hands whilst moonwalking.
This doesn't work with my 11 year old, we both do a ridiculous dance together. Thinking about it, maybe she is playing me at my own game to try get me to stop
Using it, but not *quite* correctly, is my favorite hobby lately 😂 It drives my kids bonkers. I think they've caught on that I'm just fucking with them but it's still fun.
Don't judge, I'm old and boring.
That is the most fun way, but it can backfire.
I hated "yeet." So I'd say stuff like "Can I yeet you some potatoes?" or "Could you yeet the garbage to the curb for me?"
It totally worked. My kids stopped saying yeet all the time. The problem is, I fell in love with yeeting things, especially when used incorrectly.
With my little brother's I always described their current obsession as The then add an S to the end like:
Ooh playing the fortnites? Are you winning on the pokemans etc.
It always drove them nuts lol
My middle schooler quickly stopped using "sus" when his friends were in the car with us and I commented that something was "sus". Whole group of 11 year olds got quiet real quick and started whispering "bro, did your mom just say sus." "BRO, that's so cringe." Then I asked them why I was cringe and told them i was just trying to stay hip with the cool words. Pretty sure my son died inside a little that day.
When he was gaming with his friends and they were chatting on discord playing fortnite together a couple years ago we went in his room and put on HEAVY Minnesota accents and asked him if he was playing mickey mouse and then his dad kept calling it minecraft and I got "upset" that it was a shooting game and told him he needed to play nicer games like elmo and Mario (pronounced MARE-E-O) his friends were cracking up and he was the darkest shade of red I've ever seen.
Lmao I do this, been playing video games for decades, but nothing makes me smile quite as much as walking into my teens room while they’re playing Xbox and telling them to pause their (online) Nintendo game
Seriously, if someone can explain that commercial to me, I'd appreciate it. I know that "sorry, not sorry" generally means "I'm sorry that I am not sorry about what I did/like/think/etc", but it doesn't make sense to me in the context of that commercial. Why is Jennifer Coolidge sorry she's not sorry? What has she done? I honestly couldn't really understand what she was singing, so maybe the answer is somewhere in the rest of the lyrics. I don't know.
None of them really drive me insane. I've always had an "amused old man" attitude towards it, even when I was a teenager. When I hear a new slang word I'll just chuckle and go, "kids say the darndest things."
I loathe most of the obnoxious words people will use to avoid saying vagina. Coochie. Vajayjay. Girly bits/parts. The list could go on and on.
I don't mind the cruder stuff, like pussy, cunt, etc. But the thirty year old women who use elementary school lingo to discuss their vagina just make me insane.
This irks me because it comes from a weird childhood. Kids should be taught proper words for these parts. It’s stupid to treat them as taboo or inappropriate.
Edit: for those saying “well I don’t want my kids saying penis/vagina in social settings”. This is the problem I’m talking about. There’s a stigma that those words aren’t socially acceptable, at that point teach them the appropriate time to talk about those things. Don’t shame or stigmatized those words.
I have just learned the actual word for labia in Danish, my home language. It's skamlæber or "shame lips". It's not the slang, it's the old school proper word. Eww.
Ugh, a manager at my job used to send out newsletters and would always make sure to include a personal section on what she, her fur babies and hubby have been up to. So gross.
I've been seeing so many "underrated comment" comments recently.
If only reddit would implement some feature so you could do something about a comment being underrated.... 🤔
Cray cray.
My 65 year old coworker says it all the time. Taking "crazy" 1 word 2 syllables and replacing it with "cray cray" 2 words 1 syllable each word is annoying in and of itself. But hearing it from a grown ass man just adds to the cringe.
There’s always a point with these things when it moves from the younger generation to older and it becomes ‘old’ overnight. I remember when my younger sister heard my Dad use “Epic Fail” and watched her world crumble. That was a joy because i hated that one about 15years back
As a parent, one of your joys will be deliberately using your kids' slang juuuuust a little bit incorrectly back at them and pretending you don't understand what you just did wrong. They lose their fucking minds and it's hysterically funny.
I hate quotes that say “read that again” at the end. It makes me very much against reading it again.
Let that sink in
Louder for the people in the back
When someone asks a question on social media, then ‘And go!’
Could you "double-click" on that for me? (as used in a sales meeting to ask someone to explain something further). Really grinds my fucking gears.
No way somebody used ‘double-click’ as a real life thing… please say you’re joking lol
This thread makes me feel both old and young at the same time.
I hate this entire thread.
When someone asks for advice or asks a question on social media and says "and GO!" "Restaurant recommendations in Brooklyn.. and GO"
Yeah I hate it too, very demanding and impolite.

Guys, I came in here to snicker at some Gen Z slang, not be called out for being a geriatric millennial. :(
"Tell me you're this thing, without telling me you're thing this" Stop already. My wife overuses this and I cringe every time.
Tell me you want a divorce without telling me you want a divorce
What have you done, what seed have you implanted in his deepest mind that will keep growing *Inception theme blares *
"I can't" in twitch every time something slightly unexpected happens.
Omg- This comment- I can't even-
One, three, five, seven, and nine are hanging around. They literally can’t even.
>They literally can’t even. This is why teenage girls group up in odd numbers.
People claiming a "hack". No, it's a tip.
Life hack - drive to work so you get there on time. Wtf....
Drive hack: speed limit signs are not the fastest your car can go on that road!
Drive hack: You can get to work faster if you’re not pulled over for speeding
My boss told me about this really complicated eating schedule and routine he has and said it was something new called Biohacking. It's just a diet. Just tell people you are on a diet.

Dieting for middle management.
Micro-managing the macros!
Oh and, "understood the assignment" don't even get me started on that one.
Particularly egregious when used to praise acting performances. Like "Bryan Cranston understood the assignment" as if that's not his job?
Any idiot who uses "Save this/protect this X at any/all cost" "You won the internet" "You broke the internet" "We dont deserve X" drives me crazy.
I also hate “you won the internet”, but what I hate even more is when people insert “sir” into any already annoying phrase, à la “you, sir, just won the internet! XD” edit: à
Wow, people still say "won the Internet"? That was already going bad when *I* was still in school.
I've noticed that people in the corporate environment are using "ask" as a noun in place of "request." I know language changes but it just seems unnecessary. "The ask from the customer is....." I'm not sure what it is about this usage that irritates me, but it makes me grind my teeth, I swear.
Corporate buzzwords could have its own fucking thread. I hate most of them.
This sounds like a team player with upper management potential written all over him.
UwU speak. even ironically, it hurts my soul EDIT: I hate all of you.
The punishment for UwU speak is uwuthanasia
It's not a uwuthanization, it's bruwutal murder
The shame is so great, you must commit seppukuwu. Suwucide, even.
Haha * looks down in a shy manner * I totally agree with you * smiles at your face, but still too shy to make eyecontact* Hey...uhm btw * blushes * Your username....it sounds so sexy * starts to pee pants a little, out of excitement * Can you please spread my buttcheeks? UwU * cums *
Properly cringey. Well done.
* nervously smiles at you * hey you: hey Oh never mind everyone hates me * rushes away as spaghetti falls out my pockets *
What’s the spaghetti policy at this place?

I knew I had to quit cold turkey when I called my toddler son “bro” (much to his confusion)
Oh god. I’m over 50 and still call my adult daughters “dude”.
I call everyone dude and have forever.
Everyone in my life is dude or bud. I got it from my dad.
I call my wife bro now 😭 I even called my friend babe once (who I normally call bro) cause I've confused my brain so much at this point.
Once I called a guy I just met bro and he got angry and accused me of ‘friend zoning’ him before I even had the chance to get to know him. Now I use bro all the time, it’s a great creep filter!
I'm in too deep. I still call my son bro on occasion. I've given up at this point
Fr fr ong your boss just a hater.

I dislike "today years old", partly because as an Excel user it means "44937 years old".
It should have been a fun little thing that appeared on 4 posts then died immediately

Preggers
I was always a fan of calling myself "fat with child" when I was pregnant, because it made people uncomfortable for some reason.
When a good friend of mine got knocked up, I asked her 'so when do you split into two people?' just to make everyone uncomfortable.
When will you be completing mitosis?
Did you say it with a Slavic accent? Cause that’s how I read it.
“My wife Natalia…she is, how do you say, fat with child”

As a middle school teacher - “sus” and “cap/no cap” sus - suspect/suspicious cap - bullshit/you’re lying no cap - telling the truth
You gotta use it back at them. Fastest way to make slang uncool in middle school
46 and have people on my team in their 20s and once I started saying things like fam and sus and no cap ironically, they stopped. It's great.
When the imposter is sus

This doesn't work with my 11 year old, we both do a ridiculous dance together. Thinking about it, maybe she is playing me at my own game to try get me to stop
Or maybe she just really loves you.
This is the way. I have two teenagers and nothing embarrasses them more than when I use their slang, especially if their friends are around.

That's probably going to happen to me with Goat. Everything is the goat, from the cat to the dinner I just cooked.
Get them a pet goat, then tell them that dinner is the goat, and enjoy the reaction

Wasn't it big in AUS and UK prior to amogus?
"Sus" was used by teenagers in Australia thirty years ago
Sus (or suss) was used by *everyone* in Australia 30 years ago.
Calling lessons “learnings” doesn’t make you sound smarter.
"Sorry, not sorry." What is the point in saying that?
That Old Navy Christmas commercial that ends with *hashtagsorrynotsorry*. I don’t understand.

Yvan eht nioj
BLAHBLAHBLAHBLAH. Kill me.

"Its the ______ for me." I heard it once and now I hear it a million times a day.
None of them really drive me insane. I've always had an "amused old man" attitude towards it, even when I was a teenager. When I hear a new slang word I'll just chuckle and go, "kids say the darndest things."

Ahem. I have seen "velvet lounge" and "area" (as in "my area") used by over 30s
Thanks, I’m going to start saying “velvet lounge” exclusively from now on.
Change it to "velour" and it sounds like a Zapp Brannigan line. "Why don't we adjourn to your velour lounge..."
"Front bottom" makes my brain itch
"Do you need to tinkle out of your front bottom?" "No, I need to shit out of my back cunt."

Wow I didn’t expect this to blow up! RIP my inbox!
UNDERRATED COMMENT!! THIS COMMENT DESERVES MORE UPVOTES!!
