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?

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?'.

'Learns' is popular here. Infuriating.
― mmmm, Wednesday, 9 December 2015 12:28 (eight years ago) link
there is literally no need for this. are they trying to avoid the word 'lesson'? why not say 'what have you learnt from this?'?

"There's no 'there' there" is the worst expression of all expressions. Far worse than "think outside the box."
― Treeship, Friday, 6 May 2016 05:42 (seven years ago) link
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.

"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.

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