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.

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

      The latter might have had a resurgence because of GoT, but I definitely heard the phrase before the show came out. I had to look it up to make sure, but it’s origins go back to the 1800s.

        No you absolutely did not, unless you were talking to dorks who started using out-of-context nonsensical phrases from their favorite fantasy book. If you think you heard the term not as a reference to ASOIAF you are misremembering. Its origins do not go back to the 1800s. The term in this context refers to a child who has lived their entire life in the years-long summers of the world of ASOIAF. That is what it means.
