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.

    “bend the knee”

    And other phrases from GoT that people now pretend they’ve been saying their whole lives

    “Who hurt you?”

    These days, that’s shorthand for “I’m an emotionally stunted liberal who is so incapable of self-reflection that anyone who disagrees with a point I have must be acting from a place of unresolved trauma”. It’s always felt like people-who-definitely-used-to-post-to-4chan burning extra words to get to the r-slur they so desperately want to use; but with the exact kind of plausible deniability that gets their squishy bits either hard or wet.

    “The proof is in the pudding.” It makes zero sense! The actual adage is, “The proof of the pudding is in the eating.” It means that a dessert can look perfect and enticing, but if the cook used salt instead of sugar it will taste disgusting.

    I don’t know what people even think they’re saying with “the proof is in the pudding”.

    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 do the “eh” thing sometimes without thinking about it but I agree with you, I don’t like being on the other end of it either. I’m trying to work on that

    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 as much effort as just typing it correctly.

    “Would of” annoys me to no end. Which is silly because English isn’t my first language and I know I make many mistakes, but would of is just… Ugh. Ick.

    “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.

      The entire way recipes are written is trash.

      “Add the flour and stir gently”: How much flour? Why do I have to scroll back up to check?!

        It makes sense to have the ingredients first for making a shopping list and prepping. However, I do agree, with recipes being online, it should be a small task to include the quantity in the description too, even if it is adjustable for different servings.

        Normally, portioning out the ingredients would be the first step of the process and is all done at once.

          Probably not normally, but ideally. I doubt mise en place is all that common in most homes.

              I bake quite a bit and I don’t do my mise-en-place either when it comes to baking, but that’s not a problem. The way recipes are formatted works well for my process as well. I read through the steps ahead of time if it’s a recipe I am unfamiliar with, then I’ll just have the ingredients list open while I’m doing the prep. The things I make are pretty basic (cookies, cakes, muffin, etc) and the steps are all identical. Mix wet, mix dry, mix everything, bake.

              I personally find that having less repeated information makes things easier and faster to read. The recipe says “add flour”, you know that it’s all the flour. If the recipe says “add flour (1 cup)”, then I have to check back in the ingredients list to figure out if that’s all the flour or only part of it. Then the more info you add to clarify, the harder it is to skim while you’re cooking.

                I agree that many recipes are poorly written. Especially non professional stuff from the web.

                Still, I’d hate to prepare anything without having weighed all my ingredients beforehand.

            As much as I despise the fat-tongued mockney, Jamie Oliver’s website is the only one I’ve seen that has the ingredients and method on two tabs so you can flick between them

            Dunno why they’re not all like that

    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!

    “Hence why”

    Syntactically makes no sense. Just say “that’s why,” that’s what you are trying to say.

    Calling someone a bot or a shill because they post something you disagree with. It’s so stupid. Like even if the person is a bot, would that matter if the point they’re making is salient and sourced?

    “I don’t need to engage with the fact Biden has deported more people than Trump, because you are actually russian. Thus I have no reason to investigate my worldview.”???

    It’s also such a tell. Like the person can’t imagine anyone thinking anything other than what they think, so they must not be real people with internal lives. Can’t imagine independent thought, literal NPC behaviour.
    Especially because it’s always the most average of redditor-take-havers that say it.
