Sayings that annoy you

[TheNinja]

We can get to it "as early as today" - Well no kidding. You mean you can't get to it yesterday?

"it is what it is" - Oh....ok, I thought it was what is actually wasn't.

 

[Spam On Rye]

Anytime a man refers to his life as "my journey."

 

[Captain Tenneal]

"are you shittin me"

Absolutely not good sir

 

[Sonny Qc]

Money can't buy happiness.

My Truth. There's the Truth and there's your perspective.

This ain't my first rodeo

I didn't have a problem with this phrase, but at work years ago, we brought in a loaned employee from an entry level position and we were in a morning muster meeting with our crew, most of which had like 15+ years exp. She kept saying "this ain't my first rodeo" and our mechanics would just roll their eyes at her.

I told my wife the story and how disgruntled our mechanics were with some chick just out of high school telling them how it was. We had a good laugh, but now my wife says it because she knows I hate it and it's used more out of spite.

Get a job


Hey jackass look at unemployment rate and amount of jobs

(Still salty about jobs having 300-800 applicants here)

“Let’s circle back”

 

[ChosenOne]

Template corporate rah rah language like...

" Here we grow again!"

 

[Reign Supreme]

I will reach out to him/her

 

[pugilistico]

Most of the stuff Gen Z says.
"Bet" just sounds stupid.

I hate how they say things like "leverage" when using a tool or data or something. Can't you just say "use?" It's already in the english language.

 

[Captain Tenneal]

"it would behoove you"

 

[UberHere]

“It is what it is”

No fucking shit. Is it ever what it’s not

 

[UberHere]

Also annoying when people use corporate buzzwords in day to day conversations. One I can think of right now is “we need to link up”. No you need to go fuck yourself

 

[Volador]

Every time Lex Freidman says “Can you steel-man the position…” I want to punch him as hard as I can in his fucking stomach.

 

[Iron Mang]

Still thinking of a common phrase that bugs me, but what came to mind when opening the thread is words that are said wrong.

For me, I cringe when I hear someone say "supposibly" instead of the correct way, "supposedly".
