I didn't know people used fam irl, I thought it was just 4chan poo poo or something, and never heard "squad goals" online or off

I like bae and use it to piss my gf off who absolutely hates that word. I think it's adorable tho

There's some guy at work, a tenured research group leader of like 15 years, who constantly says "I gotchu fam" when you ask him for something. It's really obnoxious because he's pretty much the stereotype that you'd picture if someone said "tenured phd physicist" and I want to give him a wedgie every time he does it.

On saturday morning when you just want to chief session and there's plenty of eggs in the fridge but bitch is all like "let's get brrrunch."

I don't know. I guess girls just pronounce brunch with this like, vocal burn on the 'r' or something. Sounds annoying. Burrunch is the last loving thing i want to hear on my day off. gently caress brunch.

Also any business buzzword irritates the hell out of me. Synergy, core competency, paradigm shift, scrum meeting etc....gently caress off.

I just remembered one that sounds really weird whenever I hear it. "On your person". Like "Make sure you have your driver's license on your person" instead of saying "Make sure you have your driver's license with you".

I always assumed the purpose there was to indicate that you would need to be able to present it quickly or often rather than like having it stashed in a bag or something.

Any time I have seen the word "sigma" in any corporate presentations it was a clear sign that management was stupid and things were going to swiftly descend into a world of poo poo.

Yeah I'm sure there's legitimate uses for it, so I'm not annoyed by the phrase so much as it just sounds odd no matter how many times I hear it

This. "It is what it is" = literal definition: "I'm an rear end in a top hat."

Ha that's what I get for replying before reading the rest of the thread first.

Well, don't take it personally.

We're sealing the tunnel!
When people omit "to be" from a sentence.
Like "The dog needs let outside", or "The car needs washed".

I've noticed it seems to be mostly people from Pennsylvania that I notice this with, so maybe it's a dialect thing.

"whom"

There's about an 80% chance that you're using it wrong. And even if you use it right, it's like 'ooh look at me I'm fancy I know how to read' gently caress you.

"Core competency" is a useful term if you're analyzing an organization. The rest, not so much.

I hate how the word random is used incorrectly everywhere now. Like, "I bought some random shirts at the store" or even worse when someone describes themselves as being random.

I also hate when the word meal is pronounced "mill".

No thats not accurate at all fuckhead. Or would be one or the other and im asking for both so its and. I provided both. Perfectly appropriate conjunction. You ask someone if they want peanut butter and jam not peanut butter or jam

A youtuber I watch sometimes keeps misusing the phrase "at length". Like "At length we find the end of dungeon loot chest."
I want to punch him in the mouth so much.

It's a Midwest thing. I used to see it in emails at work all the time and thought it was just typos but then I met with some of the people in person at a team building thing and realized that's just how they talk. I'd say it's annoying but I'm originally from the part of Connecticut that touches both Rhode Island and Massachusetts, so I'm sure my accent is just as atrocious.
