Phrases you hate...

"be a part of" used to mean "give me money for my project"

Not a phrase, per se, but I think my current least favorite utterance in the English language is that gross and dismissive "...Okaaay?..." response people give when you've supposedly said something incomprehensible or off the wall but, really, the root of it is that the person you're speaking to is just a rude asshole who doesn't want to continue the conversation.

i'm sure it has been mentioned before but i just felt a wave of disgust for shareable content

"*sigh*"

Seeing this in responses right before a paragraph of capital letters espousing Opinion Supremacy. Oh your disdain for me and my idiocy is at such a level that to lower yourself to my plane of existence in order to educate me on why YOU are right and I a blathering idiot causes you so much grief you must type out your irl exhaustion. It is ok, I realize you are only doing this for the good of humanity, and it is at your great personal sacrifice to have to explain your opinion to such a dullard as I.

When people say (usually on facebook) that some minor act of goodness "restored my faith in humanity." These flighty fucks need to get a grip already!

Are your feelings about humanity really so easily lowered and raised? Do you constantly find yourself forgetting that at any given minute humans somewhere are doing both wonderful and awful things and everything in between?

Yes

STOP FUCKING USING "LEVERAGE" IN PLACE OF "USE"

otm

i guess i don't *hate* it, but why is everything suddenly being 'gifted' instead of 'given'

like thrifted

How is "binge-watching" not on this page yet.

i was in a training session where the guy kept talking about 'learns' as in 'what learns are you hoping to take away with you today?', 'what key learns have you taken from this?'.

What. The. Fuck.

'Learns' is popular here. Infuriating.

there is literally no need for this. are they trying to avoid the word 'lesson'? why not say 'what have you learnt from this?'?

'learns'
no
no
NO

I lessoned some learns at school today.

I've heard "learnings" but "learns" is some next-level wrongheadedness

Here endeth the learn.

getting all the learns

i guess you learns a new thing every day

sick learn

feel the learn

3rd degree learn

learn notice

ha that sounds like a real thing

when your CIA handler calls you and tells you.... you've been learned

so many feels about this

"There's no 'there' there" is the worst expression of all expressions. Far worse than "think outside the box."

The fact that it is an allusion makes it worse. It was smug and unimaginative when Gertrude Stein said it, and the same is true when internet commenters say it about an artwork they don't understand.

there's no 'tree' there

"caping for"

caping for???

"by far one of the _____" is my new least favorite phrase

e.g. It was by far one of the better episodes of Game of Thrones. Hands down, it was pretty alright I guess. It was far and away an episode of television.

"good shoot"/"bad shoot"

herding cats

caping for???

I think it means "defending someone who you know has done wrong". I think I have just spent way too much time reading the gawker comments section and I should reconsider my life choices.

I find 'TTTT' functional and clever but it has suffered from overuse like anything else

caping = more polite way to use the "captain save a ____" idea? shameful.

I think "caping" has been around a while, typically means fighting for a view or cause without questioning whether it's something worthwhile or worthy

oh ok
new to me

never heard of TTTT

See Treesh above

"fur babies"

Fur babies is by far one of the annoying phrases, hands down.

"This is a story about...", usually on a BBC4 doc. I blame Adam Curtis.
