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

Yeah that and “I’ll give you my honest opinion” are constructions that people actually use, nobody says “in my honest opinion” really

Whereas “in my humble opinion” as stated above was in common use pre-internet (WAY pre-internet would be my guess)

Have always thought it was honest. :(

Well it is now, by the looks of it!

R ppl being honest??????

i have plenty of dishonest opinions.

wins otm, but what does it matter anyway?

opinions are like assholes, one of the body’s more humble orifices

Wins unfuckwithable as usual

"wrong opinion" is the biggest offender

In more humble orifices

taking sides: in my hairy orifices vs in my hirsute orifices

Honestly Abe held the orifice of president quite humbly

“imwo” has a good ring to it

darragh could deploy it well

lol 'in my wicked opinion'

this doesn’t annoy me but since everyone’s here i have a question: why ‘latinx’ instead of just ‘latin’?

Because it’s non-gender specific and ‘latin’ as adjective has a wider remit than describing people. Also, this is the descriptor Latinx people they keep saying they prefer.

In my waspish opinion.

That was pish in my opinion

Ooh, clever.

I am still kinda sad latinx won out over latin@

it was inspired by Adam’s wrong opinion post

imwo = in my wrong opinion

lol that is awesome

i see "clutching my pearls" all over the internet now and i blame drew matmos. he should be the only person who says that.

"alcohol is a depressant" to mean one can feel depressed when drinking alcohol

Americans describing all drugs of abuse as “narcotics”. Cocaine and amphetamine are not exactly sleep-inducing.

sometimes you really need to concentrate on sleep to get there

"Reaching out".
What happened to just contacting or getting in touch with someone? Reaching out my arse, fucking hell what a precious pile of shite.

Wait, isn't "getting in touch" a similarly euphemistic phrase?

just shorting to 'touching' everyone happy

sending a text message, aka “invisible touch” (ah)

i like reach out but only because when i see/hear it i instantly hear the four tops REACH OUT! otherwise, i hate it very much

"Let that sink in." Typically follows immediate and obvious points that don't need to "sink in" at all.

"expertly trolled"

both execrable, yes. i feel like "let that sink in" is on its way out though - i rarely see it used earnestly anymore. "expertly trolled" i haven't heard but i hate anything that includes any variation of "troll"

I’d really like to encourage everyone to just not say anything you’ve heard someone else say. It’s not doing anyone any good at this point.

i like that idea 230 times

nice resultless new phrase

Frequency of 'onthenoseness' seems to have shot up over the last couple of years or so. None of these really annoy me, though.

i kinda miss when squares called everything dope. didn't matter what drug it was. he's been taking dope!

"dope fiend" is still the coolest term to me.

but that's not what this thread is for. i'm sick of hearing the word "benzo" all the time.

Adding -y to nouns, making them adjectives, especially prevalent in criticism ("It's a house-y vibe").

"It's a house-y vibe"

this is truly a nationwide phenomenon. no way to tell how everyone picked it up. probably from television. people on t.v. do it a lot.

shows like the simpsons definitely added things to everyday life. then comedians would use it and then everyone else. like if someone farted and they would get called Farty McFarterson or whatever. that was a nationwide phenom that PROBABLY originated with the simpsons?

no way to tell how everyone picked it up. probably from television.

Or maybe because "noun + y = adjective" has been a common English word formation strategy for like a thousand years?

Rainy, muddy, hairy, glassy, woody, leafy, papery, stringy, bony, meaty, watery, salty, windy, Stormy...

You know that's what not what I meant – I meant useless nothings like "It's the band's vibe-y record."

but the way people do it now is different.

yeah what that guy said.
