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

Dammit sp? AGAIN

"*checks notes*"

It's on the same level as "well, this is awkward", "I did a thing", "umm so that just happened", "did i just say that out loud?". Looking forward to its shelf life finally passing

"...and I'm here for it"

I like “checks notes”, it’s a way of achieving comic timing in text which is otherwise hard. Used out of that context it’s twee, granted.

It might be good for timing but it’s so overdone that it just feels lazy at this point. Someone posted about this itt in 2018 so I’m late to the party in being a hater!

it belongs along with all the rest in the jordan and peele sketch

Both Jordan and Peele? How delightful!

dammit i knew that wasnt right and all when i was typing it

"consume media"
fuck off, i'm completing art.

I forget if this one's aleady done under the fold and I cbf opening the whole thread, but "edit", used to mean "a collection of clothing styles". Wha?

thank you

Never heard that...
Like: "Walmart released their winter edit yesterday"?

"Shop the edit" annoys me no end, and they all do it!

what if i want to shop the extended dub remix

the word Christmas annoys me a lot this time every year for no other reason other than hearing it so damn much as an adjective 100 times a day.

Christmas sweater, Christmas movie, Christmas music, Christmas tradition, Christmas spirit, Christmas party, Christmas special, Christmas dinner, Christmas rimjob, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas.

fully aware that this is a 'me' thing and that it's dumb but I think it's the awkward hissy "s"'s that grate on me.

Christmas rimjob

wait WUT?

The Jewish equivalent? Purimjobs.

The Muslim equivalent? Ramadanal.

Hanukass

(This thread is almost ready for its 20th anniversary. Incidentally, I don't feel the same about 'veggie' as I did in 2003)

Have you had your Christmas fuck yet?

at the point now where I'm filled with quiet rage when I see people type out 'lmfao' in the middle of sentences. I know they are not convulsed with laughter 99.9999% of the time. if they are then there is something wrong with them.

Hearing this in my head to the tune (if that's the right word for it) of "Yes, I received your letter yesterday" from Desolation Row.

saying "edit" when the expected word is "collection" is a guaranteed way to draw attention. but, so is farting in a crowded elevator.

Do people still call records "platters"

‘Edit’ drives me nuts even when used properly to mean ‘one fashion editor’s picks from a designer’s collection/pieces seen at Fashion Week/stuff sent to the magazine this month’ but it is like nothing compared to the annoyance I feel for ‘curated’.

This may have been addressed upthread--in fact, it probably was--but the use of the shortened "thx" in lieu of "thanks," especially in emails, bugs the shit out of me. Is it really that much more effort to type six letters instead of three?

yes, indubitably

indubs

"Ta" is only two letters

As a U.S. resident, I would be rightly excoriated as a pretentious ass for using "ta" in virtually any context.

you can use the remaining unused letters to add “hun”

As a U.S. resident, I would be rightly excoriated as a pretentious ass for using "ta" in virtually any context.

You say that but I was listening to a Johnny Guitar Watson album literally last night and this album included the fine song, "I Want to Ta-Ta You Baby". The only problem is "ta-ta" means goodbye but Johnny was definitely intent on saying "thank you".

The use of the word "ta-tas" also irritates me.

As in, "She has a great pair of ta-tas."

men are pigs

Dogs, more like, I think.

thanks is twice as much effort as thx and it doesn't even have an x in it

These threads have me convinced Americans move through life all “fellas is it pretentious to drink from a glass”

Haha, not sure about that, but using an expression that is known to Americans primarily, if not exclusively, because it is used in other Anglophone countries would surely count as pretentious.

in a world where phones automatically fill in the word it thinks you want to say, it couldn't be more obv that abbreviated internet slang is an expression of tone more than convenience. i will exasperatedly delete "thanks" three times if the convo requires the tossed-off casualness of "thx" (i don't really use thx, but i use similar for reasons i assume are the same as thxers)

but if someone has really magnificent ta-tas then how do you say it, idgi

a wazzell pair of jugs if i recall my bottom quotes correctly

The term "cans" has always amused me because it's not at all desciptive.

'sweet rack' also functions well

is it correct to assume that 'bodacious ta-tas' is a reference to the legendary Queen Boudica?
