Phrases you hate...

well that's the same thing, for all intensive purposes

it's intriguing how "Like" has really ceased to signify approving of a thing for some time but Facebook are too megalomaniac to change it to a more appropriate term

I was also thinking it's weird how flat "like" is. Like there's no perceptible difference between a pity like, a tepid like, and an enthusiastic like.

I've often wished I could "hate" certain posts

should be a range of response to select from and then a little bar chart compiling them

You have no idea what someone actually means when they "like" a post but don't say anything else. Sometimes I just scroll through and barely even think about some of the stuff I "like" in my feed.

think it may have been brought up on ilx b4 but i rly hate seeing "baby" used singularly, generically e.g. headlines like "foods that are good for baby" argh grates so much

People still wonder how is babby formed, though

Have we had 'peak' yet? As in 'We have reached peak beard' to describe a trend so prevalent it is about to fall out of fashion?

This is as opposed to UK street slang where 'peak' is used to mean 'egregious' or very obviously bad, a phrase I kind of love.

It's so weird and jarring. I was just reading a book about how to feed babies (through the mouth, generally) and was wondering if that usage is codified in a style guide or something since it is so common.

I'm ok with baby in the context but hate babby.

how to feed babies

nobody puts corn in a baby

we need to help people put food on their families

I wish people wouldn't use the term "special snowflake" derisively. it upsets me.

Sorry you're too much of a precious flower to suffer being called that.

its figuring how much to tip the chief mourner that keeps me away from funerals

I spose if the service was good and the body was still warm by the time they brought it out I'd go to maybe 20%

gratuitous humour imo

I think i m on record as a giggler at funerals, the closer to the front the more likely

oh hey my phone autocorrects gigolo

not crazy about "when the shit hits the fan" but i can't say i hate it.

also i really like when folks say "horseshit" instead of "bullshit"

"low-hanging fruit" jesus christ how many times do high-level supervisors really need to say this? liked it the first few times but think of other words, please.

managing the orchard was a tough job

"shits and giggles" really annoys me for some reason

How do you feel about "shiggles"?

Must've been on the britishes google :(

really hate when middle-class/affluent people refer to things as "ghetto" as an adjective. search "ghetto" on yelp if you want to despair for humankind.

i live in a pretty nice neighborhood and someone called my local chinese restaurant "ghetto" just because it's a mom & pop in a strip mall rather than some monolithic pf chang with ridiculous statues out front.

hipper middle class white people say "ratchet" now

Ugh.

"play nice in the sandbox"
