Words/phrases you hate?

I say "no problem" and I am gen-x.

I'm a boomer and I say no problem.

I’m not a fan of things being described as “classic” or “iconic”.

 

[aballerina]

Easy peasy.
Not sure why that phrase bugs me but it does.

Anyone on these blogs who speaks on behalf of Walt Disney, who has been gone quite awhile now.

Walt would hate this.... Walt is rolling over.... Walt never intended.... Walt would be embarrassed.

None of us knew the real Walt and it's annoying when people speak so easily on his behalf about what they don't like, and try to place their opinion on the shoulders of a man like Walt.

“Left a bad taste in my mouth” when not referring to food/drink. It gags me!

Or epic. If you write a fantasy novel and your name's not Tolkein, Martin or Ruthfuss, don't go claiming it's an "epic".

 

[EACarlson]

"The 'Rona" and "Re-imagine"

"Shut the front door".....I think this is a regional U.S. thing because I was like 35 years old before I even heard it from someone else, other than some stupid commercial several years back.

"Spill the tea"....also something I only heard recently but apparently it's been a thing for a while?

"I'm just joshin' ya"............who the heck is Josh and what the heck are you saying? This one is also rarely heard and maybe regional as well.

(FWIW I live in Florida and have my whole life when I mention "regional" U.S. things)

I was just reminded of another one

Leaf peeping

It’s almost the most stupid thing I’ve ever heard.

I’m not a fan of things being described as “classic” or “iconic”.

That only annoys me when the things being described are NOT classic or iconic. Both are overused.

That’s what I was going for. When people tell me something is classic and it’s not, I can’t…

<insert anything here> shame. Mask Shame, fat shame, vaccine shame, tattoo shame, whatever.

No one can "shame" you, shame is an emotion you feel about yourself. Someone can make fun of you or ridicule you but if that makes you feel shame that is an emotion you are projecting onto yourself, they aren't doing it.

Existential; tired of hearing the politicians use this word daily. Using adjectives with the word unique. There is no very unique, most unique, etc.
