“Aesthetic” becoming a stand-alone adjective which refers to something possessing qualities of an (unspecified) aesthetic.

Example: “that poster is so aesthetic”

People saying aesthetic with a hard T sound for the th. “rear end-tet-ick”

When people say "Yeah, no, go ahead" <and use my stapler> or whatever, in that context the "Yeah" comes pre-loaded with "Oh" as an exclamation.

As in, you've caught them unaware and they are saying "Oh yeah! No, it's alright. Use the stapler." How is this hard to parse?
When people say "Yeah no that's not going to work." Its a term of sarcasm meaning "Yes. I've listened to your idea. No. It's stupid." Again, this isn't hard to understand.

I'm not having difficulty parsing or understanding it.

Edit: vvv fair enough, my mistake. vvv

Slight head tilt to the side when actually listening to what someone is saying and thinking about it.

Or just considering a decision or concept by yourself if you have two sided internal monologue.

Dogs do it to.

Theory is that it's just from looking at things at slightly different angles gives us a better understanding of their like spatial dimensions of it and poo poo, and that kind of carries over into "you've got my attention and I'm analyzing right now" for whatever reason. Brains are weird.

People on the internet overuse "said" (as opposed to a simple article) and "proceeded to" in a very specific but indefinable way that drives me crazy. It ALWAYS conveys some kind of condescension, especially the "proceeded to." As in,

"I told this Karen the sandwich cost $5.00. She proceeded to throw said sandwich on the floor while shrieking like a banshee."

Please tell me I'm not alone in noticing this.

yeah it's pretty common.
if people are being serious, it's police talk, trying to get legitimacy in a conversation by using authority words, makes them sounds kind of stupid. the other way people use it is as a joke like in your sentence, because what they're saying is ridiculous/mundane, but it's a tired joke.

The only thing anyone ever "forks over" is cash.

I also wish people would never refer to a million dollars as "a cool million". Why is that necessary? Who made that decision?

I don't remember which episode of Norm's Live Show, I think with Spade. But he talked about Chris Farley in Denver, or similar with the altitude, and Farley just did cartwheels down the road.

gently caress. I do this, and it's even more exaggerated, where I almost place my head on shoulder like some sort of loving rag doll, and listen. sometimes even shut my eyes, and just listen.

they're just mannerisms. not all of them are bad just because they're common enough to notice.

the head tilt thing is just body language. plus if dogs do it then it can't be fake.

I've learned from the OSHA thread that this is a universal language, translated as:

*Hands on hips* = Ah, gently caress.
*Hands on head* = Oh, gently caress.

A lot of mannerisms are learned. I stare off in the distance and bare my teeth like my Mum does when I'm thinking. I have several laughs that I can identify as other people's laughs that I decided to permanently mimic. People are their parents and friends and teachers and partners.

You people that bitch about pronunciation probably chew with your mouths open.

I don't know if anyone finds it annoying when people go "hmmm" or make another sound when they're thinking. I don't. What I do find annoying is one guy I know who doesn't make any sound when he's thinking. And he's also hard of hearing, which makes it even worse because it can be genuinely difficult to tell if he didn't hear something you said or is just thinking about it

My one friends roommate is a buff Samoan called Will but he's really hard of hearing and has two girlfriends which I don't have a problem with but I whenever I say "hey Will" he can't hear me so I just started calling him Chris because he can hear the S. But he's still confused by it

I mean it's become a thing and Jade and Katt keep telling him what I'm doing so he's starting to get it that would just make it weirder

Swill is actually not a bad idea but starting the word doesn't have the snap that gets his attention like ending the word with the s

You could call him WilliS and when he asks what's up with that you can say I just thought it would be a cool nickname, because you are cool like Bruce Willis.

I'm making it sound like he's deaf but once he's talking to you he's totally focused I don't now how to explain it. His brain or ear functions or whatever just don't pick up peripheral sounds like most other humans do

Like trying to get his attention is difficult but talking to him is normal
