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

"trash" in almost all contexts now

p sure sapiosexual is latin for "superior person"

lol

I think the intended meaning is "I want to actually talk to people and connect and not just have sex" but half the people using it mean "I don't think people find me physically attractive, but I am deluded and think I have a sparkling intellect"

I think the intended meaning is "I want to have sex with your brain and vocabulary."

I think that whatever the intended meaning, it's mostly a load of bullshit.

I hate when films are advertised with:

"FROM THE GUYS WHO BROUGHT YOU..."

x-post Not to offend the saps out there, mind. I don't think that's a thing but it is now.

it seems kind of like the "nerd" (in the post tech boom era sense) of the dating world

the actual meaning is "I think girls are vapid"

Also "mic drop" when it's used in a news story regarding some zing that owned someone til they died. Like I guess according to the Yahoo, Hillary just did a mic drop tweet on Trump that ended his life.

like gtfo, incredibly objectively physically attractive but non-brilliant person comes onto you and you say "sorry I'm a sapiosexual so I'm not attracted to you"?

"you wanna buy me a drink? First finish this NY Times Friday Crossword"

always thought sapiosexual sounded like you really wanna get out there in the spring and "tap" some maple trees yknow

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

wait lol "your"

taking bets on whether his maximum age is 29

Apparently he thinks it means 'desperate to have sex with anyone posessing a vagina and a dictionary'

The use of sapiosexual to describe oneself, is not in any way limited to the makes of the species. I basically take it to mean this person is going to make a big show of demonstrating how clever they think they are. In other words, steer clear.

This probably belongs more in the IE thread, but conversations that revolve around someone showing off their knowledge of this or that subject make me feel deeply uncomfortable.

*males of the species

counterpoint: girls who self-describe as such also think (other) girls are vapid

there are a handful of dating profiles I've run across where that's not the case and it's just a woman who is trying to communicate that she's tired of dudes dating her until they have sex and then ghosting :/

patrick swayze really oversold the tactic theres no doubt

I hate when films are advertised with:

"FROM THE GUYS WHO BROUGHT YOU..."

Especially since the 'guys' are usually the producers, not the creatives.

Wow perfect time bc “creatives” is my #1 most hated phrase of the last ~3 years

“Creatives” is the tech synonym for “artists” that no one asked for

I think the "guys" part just feels like they don't want to be betas and say "producers" or "filmmakers" or "from the director of" or w/e.

'score the basketball'

at the end of the day, you have to score the basketball or take the L

hubby

^ my #1 most hated

not worse than "the wife" though

"it's a brave new world"

thank god the wife never says hubby

Wow, I never realized how many people use good faith and bad faith until this board. But yeah those are both super annoying.

I don't think I've used either until the past year but they're both better than "concern trolling" which irritates me to no end

"concern trolling" only irritates me when it's used outside its actual meaning (which is all the time)

goddam that Sartre dude and his jargon

I'm old and think half the problem is people who enjoy provoking reactions but have no actual stance or investment in anything they're saying

guilty

i think most people who enjoy provoking reactions have no investment, hence the enjoyment

in fact you could say that such people acted in bad faith

i dont think you actually believe that tbh

"There's already a word for it" makes it seem like you think the very common and old phrase "bad faith" is some sort of faddish neologism?

it's certainly spiked in use recently

Ah so if more people had started saying the word disingenuous recently would you be complaining and telling them to use the perfectly good synonym "bad faith" the
