People ending sentences with “rn”.

Ironically, the phrase "rustles my jimmies" really burns my biscuits.

Please do the needful.

This one really grinds my gears! I think it's because the person can't even be bothered to describe what they want you to do, just go fix it and don't bother me with any details.

• paradigm shift
• military grade encryption
• cyber kill chain

“Cyber” 🙄

People using double negatives incorrectly. Like "I didn't do nothing!"

The replacement of the term “conspiracy theory” with just “conspiracy”.

That’s two different things. If we equate the two semantically we can’t discuss them.

I recently heard someone say after they almost accidentally went in a wrong building entrance, "Good thing I didn't do that or I would regret my life choices."

A bit much for something minor that created no more than two seconds of awkwardness.

"bend the knee"
"Sweet summer child"
And other phrases from GoT that people now pretend they've been saying their whole lives

When people say 'like' constantly between sentences or sentence fragments or before every adjective.

Using the phrase "serious question" or "honest question" will make me immediately assume your question is the exact opposite of that. Probably I'm overreacting, but expecting that anyone might respect that declaration you've made about your own question, that gives me narcissist vibes.

you can't just say Perchance

Utilize, when they mean Use.

“Beloved” in so many articles. Yes I tend to use a specific browser. No, it is not and never will be “beloved”.

That word is so jarring most of the time and seems to be everywhere online in the last two years. I can only assume it’s some sort of SEO, trying to convince Google it’s a personal article or something. I hope to god it’s not ai assuming that’s what attracts our attention

"It is what it is."

It is lazy, circular, a cop out and means next to nothing. Vague enough to pass as a wise quip, to some. It is not.

Also not so much a saying per sé, but people who use quotes of famous people at the bottom or ends of emails. As if that implies a personality. If you are going to use something you think sounds smart, at least try to come up with that something yourself.

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.

"Live. Laugh. Love." or similar.

"The proof is in the pudding." It makes zero sense! The actual adage is, "The proof of the pudding is in the eating." It means that a dessert can look perfect and enticing, but if the cook used salt instead of sugar it will taste disgusting.

I don't know what people even think they're saying with "the proof is in the pudding".

I unreasonably hate the word "moreover". I see no reason why you wouldn't use the words "also", "additionally", or even "furthermore" that sound way better when read.
