Please don’t think I’m here to complain about rizz or skibidi toilet etc. Thats all fine by me.
The term I dislike strongly is ‘eeeh’ before you make a statement disagreeing with someone. (This is over text only). Now maybe I’ve been pavloved bc it’s always used by someone disagreeing. But I’m happy with people disagreeing with me normally its just the ‘eeeh’ or ‘erm’ that annoys me.
So what’s a random term that annoys you?
PS. Saying “eeeh actually ‘eeh’ is a perfectly fine term” would be a ridiculously easy joke and I will judge you for making it. And I know atleast one person will. Especially bow that I’ve said all this.
Cleanse. it’s a less efficient way to spell clean.
“Irregardless”
My son started saying “what the sigma?” constantly. I’ve tried to figure out where it came from and only landed on some “Sigma Male” shit on youtube.
Drives me nuts.
lol i think your too focused on the sigma part. What the _____? has a similar meaning as far as i can tell. Some guy just said sigma instead one time on tiktok and it sounded funny so people copied him.
What the heck
What the hell
What the fuck
etc all basically are used the same altho what the sigma tends to be used in a more lighthearted way from what i can tell. Like what the fuck is more angry.
I think it might be from a SpongeBob SquarePants meme. You might wanna start there. Not sure why that’s tickling my brain.
Oh and I just found this: https://knowyourmeme.com/editorials/guides/whats-erm-what-the-sigma-meme-about-the-catchphrase-and-overstimulation-video-explained
So it looks like started as a TikTok thing and then spread into the SpongeBob world.
I’m not sure why my ADHD brain latched on to this question but I HAD to find the answer. I don’t know if this is definitive but it’s at least a direction.
Get a new son
Yeah, just “sigma” goes back to sigma male claptrap. But as with all internet memes, it evolved super rapidly and took on layers. “Sigma” started to mean just “the best”, not in reference to male hierarchy necessarily. Then there was a cartoon clip with Squidward from SpongeBob where he said “what the sigma” and it went viral.
Websearch “what the sigma meme” today and you will get text and video explanations of the meme for old folks like you and me. I prefer ones from teachers who interact with middle schoolers; our frontline troops facing the bleeding edge of internet memespeak.
Hit your kids harder, dude.

Shut up, baby, I know it.
Start using it yourself. Use it in awkward, wrong, uncool ways. They’ll drop that shit like, “What the sigma Dad!?!”
Also use it around your co-workers and peers who have children and would recognize it when you want to really get under their skin, it’s skibidi sigma on cap
Bet!
i know i’m being a
but i despise the term ‘taxpayer funds’/‘taxpayer money’. besides being completely wrong in nearly all cases, it places taxes above the people, above labor.‘American taxpayer is paying for the genocide in Gaza’. No, every person/entity using U.S. Dollars is paying for it. Even foreign countries are indirectly paying for it.
GINORMOUS
Supermassive?
Black hole
on the same note, “guesstimate”

You’re 65 Brad, use big boy words.
Is that for spaghetti? I actually love people who naturally say words in a different way. Especially if they speak a different dialect or language.
Yes, for spaghetti.
And yes it’s for people who know they are ‘making a funny’, it doesn’t bother me for kids or others.
I’m with you then. All the food ‘content creators’ and their bs pisses me off
The corporate overenthusiasm “LET’S FUCKING GOOOOO”.
Ugh. Sure, maybe the product launch went great, but still. Ugh.
I just hate it when people try to elongate the word GO with more Os.
It’s now a new word. It’s GOO. Any further Os just make it gooier, not goier.
Any corporation or even companies social media account being memey is annoying.
Can we just mean corporate speak in general. I can’t fucking stand all the buzzwords that get tossed around
Whatever nonsense gen alpha started saying these days.
Nah that’s rizzler shit on God sigma 10k
“I’m just sayin’” ok but you’re still an asshole.
YES
It’s always to mitigate something heinous. “I’m just sayin’, Mussolini made the trains run on time.”
Also “Not gonna lie…” to start a sentence. Well thank you for that decency?
This one makes me crazy. And I’ve heard it so much I’ve caught myself saying it which makes me angry with myself.
“Know what I’m sayin’?”
“Not really. Do you know what you’re saying?”
Moist
im takin it back
Holding down the fort.
You hold the fort. It’s a military term. It’s not taking off if you let go of it.
It could become accurate. I mean, with global warming and extreme weather increasing.
If someone uses the word ‘curate’ they’d better be preparing to show me a shoebox filled with their favorite vaseline glass and not a pile of random deli meat on a wooden board
Lemme get that shark cootchie board of curated meats
I don’t even like when people say that in context of a playlist on a music streaming platform…
I mean maybe they spent a lot of time picking individual songs but it’s still just a digital playlist, nothing that special IMO
Would you settle for a single clergyman?
Sure, but only if they’re a member of the presbyterate and not laity, then they’re just ‘the pastor’s secretary’
I actually love the word curate :(
Unless used pretentiously. But then any word is annoying
I feel like museums should get a pass on this one.
But along these lines, I’m SO over “bespoke.”
Theres a hairdressers near me that is “Bespoke hair artistry” or some other pretentious bullshit.
I just threw up in my mouth a little.
Its not as bad as the overpriced clothing store “Bazaar Boutique Emporium”
Which is basically all white linen clothing.
10 years ago I learnt that southern New Zealand slang uses bespoke or custom as an indicator of poor quality. Someone shittly welded a tow ball onto their car, that’s a ‘custom job’.
Your poorly assembled second hand IKEA bookshelf that’s falling apart and well fucked? A bespoke piece of furniture.
Those words have never bothered me since. Thanks kiwis.
Exspecially
All intensive purposes
Irregardless
I could care less
So like … what’s your answer?
All intensive purposes
Wait a minute…
It’s “all intents and purposes”
I will use irregardless to my dying breath. In fact I go out of my way to use dumb combinations of synonyms all the time, mayhaps, possentially…
That’s incredually stupidous.
Perchance there’s hope for you yet! Despite this happenstance of negativity.
“Hang in there” bothers me for some reason.
Feels like fake caring?
Especially in news headlines: slams, blasts, mind-blowing, hack (or lifehack)
I’m sure there are others, but that’s all my brain can handle at the moment.
It’s always superlatives, even for the most mundane and boring things
I really like you username btw… I now wanna cuddle a cassowary and/or you
Aww, thanks! I tried to find a very uncuddly animal and show it some love. Their claws (talons?) are terrifying.
They’re beautiful creatures, though
Like living dinosaurs. So cool!
Ah all the typical clickbait words. I hate them too. Lifehack in particular is a word I’m sick of now
@CuddlyCassowary ABSOLUTELY DESTROYS this topic!
