What word or term annonys you? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Please don't think I'm here to complain about rizz or skibidi toilet etc. Thats all fine by me.

The term I dislike strongly is 'eeeh' before you make a statement disagreeing with someone. (This is over text only). Now maybe I've been pavloved bc it's always used by someone disagreeing. But I'm happy with people disagreeing with me normally its just the 'eeeh' or 'erm' that annoys me.

So what's a random term that annoys you?

PS. Saying "eeeh actually 'eeh' is a perfectly fine term" would be a ridiculously easy joke and I will judge you for making it. And I know atleast one person will. Especially bow that I've said all this.

If someone uses the word 'curate' they'd better be preparing to show me a shoebox filled with their favorite vaseline glass and not a pile of random deli meat on a wooden board

I feel like museums should get a pass on this one.

But along these lines, I’m SO over “bespoke.”

10 years ago I learnt that southern New Zealand slang uses bespoke or custom as an indicator of poor quality. Someone shittly welded a tow ball onto their car, that's a 'custom job'.

Your poorly assembled second hand IKEA bookshelf that's falling apart and well fucked? A bespoke piece of furniture.

Those words have never bothered me since. Thanks kiwis.

It's never a mistake, it's performance art.

Theres a hairdressers near me that is "Bespoke hair artistry" or some other pretentious bullshit.

Its not as bad as the overpriced clothing store "Bazaar Boutique Emporium"

Which is basically all white linen clothing.

Would you settle for a single clergyman?

Sure, but only if they're a member of the presbyterium and not laity, then they're just 'the pastor's secretary'

I don't even like when people say that in context of a playlist on a music streaming platform...

I mean maybe they spent a lot of time picking individual songs but it's still just a digital playlist, nothing that special IMO

I actually love the word curate :(

Unless used pretentiously. But then any word is annoying
