Does a word ever get on your nerves ?..

[Pepper]

WHATEVER! I really dislike that one because it's used to mean "I don't give a flip what
you think or what you're saying." Whatever. Grrr!

Yeah. Dismissive. I sometimes use it for that purpose.

 

[CallMeKate]

Yeah. Dismissive. I sometimes use it for that purpose.

Yep, me too. It can be effective.

 

[Jules]

“Deep dive” or “went down the rabbit hole” when they were looking into something.

So," at the beginning of a sentence for no reason.

Guilty as charged.

Watch, read and listen. .... you'll get what I mean.

Now I’m going to be doing this with lots of these expressions.

There's some dismissive term having to do with hamburger, I think, & it's driving me nuts trying to remember it

 

[CarolfromTX]

Ideate. Hate that word.

 

[JustDave]

Depending on the specific circumstances sounds like you're advocating for people to respond in kind to such attacks. Doesn't make sense to me. Would you rather someone reply just as aggressively or in some cases if a speaker really 'lost control' respond with an actual punch?

No, I was making assumptions, either correctly or incorrectly, about the behavior of others. Which is also what you just did if you step back and think about it.

And have a nice day.

My niece would use it 4 times in 1 sentence.

Did you mean "My niece would use it LIKE 4 times in 1 sentence" ?
Just kidding, I know exactly what you mean.

 

[Alligatorob]

"Like" My niece would use it 4 times in 1 sentence.

Yep, I like don't like it either...

Sustainable.. organic… ethically sourced

There’s nothing wrong with these terms…. It’s their over-use

And lack of clear meaning or definition. I agree, overused!

WHATEVER!

Yep

Ideate. Hate that word.

Is it a word? If it is it shouldn't be...

 

[MountainRa]

“You got this” . Meant to convey encouragement.

 

[Bethmt]

Karen. Not the name, but the way it's used as a pejorative term.

 

[RadishRose]

"Same difference".
Is it the same? Or different? Are the differences between the two things that you're comparing the same?

Dear Seniors
Iconically, all of your reactions are what I expected and more

 

[Jeni]

I feel many people get very tired of the same words being used over and over again ( advertising and media did this) and
when some people make up words by combining two etc.

There's some dismissive term having to do with hamburger, I think, & it's driving me nuts trying to remember it

Do you mean "chopped liver"?

 

[Mizmo]

There's some dismissive term having to do with hamburger, I think, & it's driving me nuts trying to remember it

make mincemeat of something/someone ?

Reread my post...i acknowledged it might not be what it 'sounded like'. And actually asked what kind of response you'd feel more comfortable with---that's not making an assumption, it's attempting to get clarification.

I cannot stand the phrase "the new normal"

 

[feywon]

I cannot stand the phrase "the new normal"

Agreed, because
1) normal is overrated
2) some things should not be normalized even if they grow out of fairly common human tendencies.

 

[Pepper]

NOTHINGBURGER. An overinflated story; that's the word I couldn't remember & can't stand.

 

[Old Salt]

WHATEVER! I really dislike that one because it's used to mean "I don't give a flip what
you think or what you're saying." Whatever. Grrr!

That is absolutely my most detested word! It's disrespectful, sneering and contemptuous!

 

[Lewkat]

Awesome. Drives me nuts.

[Sassycakes]

My Brother in law always said "But I digress" and it got on my nerves.

 

[PeppermintPatty]

"Shared with me," instead of told me.
"We need to have a conversation," instead of we need to talk.
"So," at the beginning of a sentence for no reason.
"Yeah," at the beginning of a sentence for no reason.

I happen to enjoy using ; so, yeah, but & and at the beginning of a sentence. It must be terribly annoying that I shared this with you in this conversation.
Lol! I couldn’t resist.

 

[IKE]

People saying "My Bad" as opposed to "I'm sorry" or "I apologize" really starches my bloomers.
