Words, usages, and phrases that annoy the shit out of you...

I replaced the battery in the Honda tonight.

Felt like Instagramming the little red velvet ring snug under the positive terminal with the caption "This is how you adult," underneath it.

But instead, I hooked the jumper cables to my ears and eventually, the urge to do something that dumb just faded away.

LOL I was just about to add "because adult". A friend in her 30s writes things like "because adult" and #friyay" and #legday and #hashtagseverything and I do love her but gah.

#adulting

'(x) was EVERYTHING'

wtf is legday

The day you do leg workouts, but hash tagged for some unknown reason?

International Legday?

as in, this has been a leg(endary)day?

Every time I hear or see FeeltheBern (especially #FeeltheBern), I mentally say Ew.

#adult seems emblematic of people who need a pat on the head for doing mundane things. It's very "I'm a big boy I used the potty!"

Feel the bern bothered me when it began but it seems effective and I like sanders so I let it go.

I feel the bern in everyone,
and then I feel nothing.

#imwithher is almost as bad.

Everybody's Been Berned.

#adult seems emblematic of people who need a pat on the head for doing mundane things. It's very "I'm a big boy I used the potty!"

Correct! It's like the old Chris Rock bit about people getting credit for something they should be doing anyway. "I paid my rent this month! #adulting" "I got out of bed this morning! #adulting"

I like the "because noun" construction because reasons.

'(x) was EVERYTHING'
i use this a lot :/

usually present tense tho tbf

Isn't this precisely the point? Like every time I see this it's ironic/self-deprecatory, playing on the absurdity of being proud of something others find easy but you maybe struggle with

Also, be careful digging through #adult tags while you're at work.

Sure but the irony just kind of reemphasizes the reality.

2053: "Just finished executing mom's will. #adult"

ADDICTING
WHEN IT SHOULD BE
ADDICTIVE

You don't like some of that Addicting Info?

there's some subway ad i noticed today that says something like, "PLAY THE MOST ADDICTING MULTIPLAYER ONLINE GAME EVER!!!"

me itt: "wtf you know what they meant why is this an issue"

xp i have no idea why subway would be talking about anything other than sandwiches in their ads tho

TBF, I think everyone deserves a little credit for #adulting why because life is a tuff slog, but (to the extent that it's broadcasted unironically) this is credit one should probably give oneself in private instead of seeking public validation. But regardless of its context or usefulness as a concept, the usage of "adult" as a verb needs to be defenestrated and burned.

Alongside 'addicting', I harbor more than a little ire for the impish employment of addiction in advertising. Particularly with potato chips, for some reason? "Betcha can't eat just one!" "Once you pop, you can't stop!" And the resigned tone of "Can't stop eating 'em."

^^ Along those lines, can't wait to wait to watch a 16-hour documentary on bulimia in one day.

Yep, this, and yep I know right? she hashtags individual words. on FB. WHY.

FB is technically configured to use hashtags like Twitter is now. if you click on one it will show you others that posted it just like Twitter does (albeit not as smoothly).

I blame Tweetcasters, which people used to broadcast their Tweets to FB and rendered their hashtags useless.

Yeah if the post is clearly sent from twitter Im less inclined to snort at it, but otherwise...

"eat a bag of dicks"
"best _______ ever"
"karma will get 'em" in response to anybody complaining about someone's misdeeds

right wing neologisms don't even really need posting here, but I was just thinking about how "islamification" kind of reminds me of "saxomophone"

Seems like everything that people are vaguely familiar with these days is ICONIC

"man that All American Rejects tune is iconic"

'do you know what iconic means?'

"really....really good?"

I remember complaining somewhere about the use of the word "legendary" for anyone who has been around a while.

ned has a purple tie?

I've always been fine with fam, but it's definitely entering an era of overuse.

How do you feel about 'famdamily'.

completely unacceptable bullshit.

"Damn ___" is one of the worst, purely manufactured, not actually all that catchy memes I've seen.

In the following quotes from Haringey Council's so-called Wood Green Area Action Plan, I especially hate the use of the word 'offer', but I also dislike "quarter", "curating", "re-skinning", and many others; in fact there are too many to mention:

"This option concentrates efforts on restoring the High Road as the key economic generator, linked to a smaller live work area in the current Cultural quarter, but with an offer that would complement High Road retail with a range of cultural, entertainment and community focused offers ... The Mall would be retained, but targeted façade, lighting and programming changes brought into effect to upgrade the 1970's character of the offer. This would include curating outdoor markets, popup street food events and other happenings alongside the re-skinning of the building, and the better management of the service yards, which impact negatively on near-by residential areas. A greater mix of uses is anticipated on the rejuvenated High Road.

Option 2 recognises the enormous potential of the enhanced connectivity to provide a new cluster of residential quarters drawing on the North London offer typified by quality town centres and shopping, high quality public spaces, leafy streets and innovative food & beverage offers."

similar to "YASSSSSS" i am seeing "YAASSSSSSS QUEEN" and it is super annoying

Marcos have you seen the yaaaassss gaga vids?

haha no should i

"eat a bag of dicks"

Still acceptable on Archer.

haha no should i
