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.

      That never bothered me all too much. Then yesterday i watched a video on youtube to kinda doze off. Dude made some insane stuff in Minecraft. Now i usually don’t really watch these videos or Minecraft videos in general. But the production value, time and effort that went into it was beyond everything i have seen so far. The usage of the word literally kept me awake. Every time i had to flinch and at some point i had to turn it off, despite my interest.

      I don’t mind people using “literally” to refer to things that they don’t literally mean because that’s just perfectly normal exaggeration.

      What I hate is that the dictionary definition changed to formalize the nonliteral meaning as a literal meaning.

      I literally could not care less about literally. MANY words over time end up meaning the opposite of what they did, its just the nature of how humans use language. I love that we’ve seen this change happen right in front of us.

      I thought “I could care less” was a sarcastic way of saying “I couldn’t care less”.

      You could remove 99.9% of instances of “literally” and it wouldn’t change the meaning of the sentence at all. It’s just like “um” by now.
