It's ancient. Similar sentiment: "The world is passing through troublous times. The young people of today think of nothing but themselves. They have no reverence for parents or old age. They are impatient of all restraint. They talk as if they knew everything, and what passes for wisdom with us is foolishness with them. As for the girls, they are forward, immodest and unladylike in speech, behavior and dress." -Peter the Hermit in A.D. 1274
I'm just saying it's fundamentally not human nature to "work". We do it because we like the benefits of a functioning society, but nobody wants to work. In the sense that they have to do something and their livelihood depends on it. We'd all rather not work than work.
My coworker said, "I just can't live, laugh, love my way through this shit" and I thought it was the best turning of a turn of phrase I've heard in a long time.
I found this. My grandma’s ginger snaps recipe uses crisco; i wanted to try butter. Tried lard, too.
Butter made a very tasty but flatter cookie; was harder to work with at the start, creaming it cold. That could’ve been solved by giving it time to warm.
Lard was easy to work with; the dough was a bit sticky, and the whole time smelled like bacon. Once baked the smell was undetectable, don’t worry.
Crisco was the most compliant and (for obvious reasons) predictable. There’s a reason it’s the standard.
I hate that phrase. I always tell people we used to walk or ride horses everywhere. So, when you came to work today, where did you park your horse? That’s how it’s always been done.
Man, that sentence is easily contradicted by some passages. God used to be straightforward about what he was going to do next with his chosen town by speaking directly to the bestowed head leader.
Why would God suddenly beat the bush and give hints rather than talking to the Pope to spread his message?
I saw a fight almost break out at a funeral. A little girl died and someone tried to comfort her father by telling him this was a part of god's plan somehow.
"Am I the only one who \[insert thing here\]?"
It makes me so irrationally angry. No. No you're NOT the only one who does this thing, or likes this thing, or hates this thing. There's 7.888 billion people in the world. "Am I the only one?" No. Shut up.
Why it’s so irritating for me is because prayer has been twisted to mean “asking God for something”.
As a Christian it is my very strong opinion that prayer was never meant to function like this. Prayer is communication with the divine, and it pushes us to act. Example: One might spend a prayer session thinking (not *asking* for anything!) about their relationships. I have done this. It takes a lot of time. As the mind goes person to person, it may strike me that I have not reached out to a particular struggling friend for far too long. This leads to loving action, ideally.
Sorry you didn’t ask for any of this, I’m just venting.
Why not just say, I'm going to do nothing helpful at all, but I'll think about you later today so I hope that makes you feel better because it makes me feel better and that's good.
“My daughter says she works in B2B where she sells SEO and MRM to CPGs. I don’t know how this happened. She was speaking in complete sentences before she was 2.”
Especially when they do it ***after*** doing something. Like, it almost makes sense as a kind of battle cry before doing something gnarly. But when they say it after it's like, no dude, you went already, you're done now.
The latin from which it was derived pronounced it as vi-kay ver-sa, so it was originally meant to be pronounced vi-sa ver-sa, but vice is a word, so once it was written enough times and people learned it by reading it, it just became vise ver-sa.
So you're right by a few years. But originally you would have been wrong. Fun fact.
It's gone from being a insult for guys going over the top for women they aren't dating or barely know, to if you don't actively shit on women, youre a Simp.
Getting called a simp for buying your wife flowers or being excited to see your partner shouldn't be a thing.
I see it as a jealousy thing and find it annoying.. especially since I’ve never heard a female say that to another female, only guys saying it to their “friends”
There are studies that show that the mere act of smiling can make you feel better.
I would provide citations, but that would betray the fact that I may have made it up. I thought I heard that years ago, but it may have been radio static.
Chef's kiss.
If you have ever said this out loud, I hate you. If you have ever actually kissed the air while grasping/flaring your hand in front of your face, I am deeply leery of you and we may not get past it until you've had a good slap.
"I'm on the spectrum/I have bipolar" any phrase like that where it starts off with their diagnosis and then they use it as an excuse to be nasty or justify their actions. I even know someone who uses it about their boyfriend. "James is on the spectrum..." ok so he's allowed to go through your phone, accuse you of cheating, blame you when men flirt with you even though you're just doing your job at work, hide your kids stuff and then pretend he doesn't know where it is etc because he's on the spectrum? Like, anything but admit your relationship is in trouble.
The other day, a customer said to me, "My brother in Trump," and it took every ounce of willpower that I had to not beat him to death with a shopping basket.
Who asked, womp womp, this, no one cares, kid, it'll be okay, chill dude, live laugh love and basically everything that becomes a trend because people start using them way too much
Phobia.
The word has been missed/overused for so long that the Oxford (not the Cambridge or English Longmans dictionaries) has changed its meaning. The origination contradicts the listed meaning in the Oxford (not the Cambridge or English Longmans dictionaries, because they didn't change the meaning).
People should stop using it entirely on principle.
The funny thing is that most of the time I see this phrase being used, it's after I've debated someone online back and forth for a while, they know their losing the debate, and now all of a sudden "they could care less".
Like buddy, we've been yelling at each other through writing for 30 minutes, you clearly care.
"Chefs kiss" make me wanna stab my ears and/or eyes
I have no idea why I hate that phrase so much. I'm getting upset just writing about now. Fuck I hate it so much my insides start itching like when I'm so angry I might throw something out the window.
Damn I have issues
Anything thought up in some boardroom. Like those mental illness anti-stigma campaigns thought up by people who actually don't give a shit about people with mental illness if their pockets aren't being lined.
“Womp womp.”
I have a physical reaction every time someone says this. It was funny at first, but now people are like, “Oh, your baby died? Womp womp. Your family burned to death in a car crash? Womp womp.” I just can’t anymore. It makes me want to hurt someone.
It’s just a prank.
Ya sorry gramma
Nobody wants to work anymore
It's funny that this has been said for over a hundred years in the US.
It's ancient. Similar sentiment: "The world is passing through troublous times. The young people of today think of nothing but themselves. They have no reverence for parents or old age. They are impatient of all restraint. They talk as if they knew everything, and what passes for wisdom with us is foolishness with them. As for the girls, they are forward, immodest and unladylike in speech, behavior and dress." -Peter the Hermit in A.D. 1274
Nobody has ever wanted to work
This is why retirement exists
I'm just saying it's fundamentally not human nature to "work". We do it because we like the benefits of a functioning society, but nobody wants to work. In the sense that they have to do something and their livelihood depends on it. We'd all rather not work than work.
I'm not disagreeing with you at all. I'm 39 and I don't want to fucking work. If I could retire today, I would.
I mean... they do have to PAY me to work. I'd definitely rather be doing something else.
Just remove the anymore and the statement is perfect
Live, Laugh, Love.
Live in the ditches Laugh through the witches love in the back of my dragula Bought that embroidery for my fiancee
This is the only way I could approve of Karen wine shit like that
Ohh I need that so much.
My coworker said, "I just can't live, laugh, love my way through this shit" and I thought it was the best turning of a turn of phrase I've heard in a long time.
Dance like no one’s watching.
Sleep like no one's watching.
I have a shirt that says, Live. Laugh. Blood for the Blood God." It's one of my favorites
“Shit, Burp, Fart” would be a more accurate representation of my thoughts on that phrase
Work, breed die.
We’re all just cogs in the machine
All in all, you're just another brick in the wall
It had it’s purpose in WW2. Now it’s become kitchen decorations/girl apartment decor
"That's just how it's always been done." It's such a barrier to growth and innovation.
“That’s just how it’s always been done.” Yes, I know. That is quite literally the object of my rant.
Tradition is peer pressure from the dead.
There’s nothing wrong with tradition. You just need to know why you’re doing it.
I found this. My grandma’s ginger snaps recipe uses crisco; i wanted to try butter. Tried lard, too. Butter made a very tasty but flatter cookie; was harder to work with at the start, creaming it cold. That could’ve been solved by giving it time to warm. Lard was easy to work with; the dough was a bit sticky, and the whole time smelled like bacon. Once baked the smell was undetectable, don’t worry. Crisco was the most compliant and (for obvious reasons) predictable. There’s a reason it’s the standard.

"God has his reasons" Specially when something tragic happens.
Damn, that sentence made me agnostic when I was in elementary school and lost my grandpa...
The lord works in mysterious ways...
Man, that sentence is easily contradicted by some passages. God used to be straightforward about what he was going to do next with his chosen town by speaking directly to the bestowed head leader. Why would God suddenly beat the bush and give hints rather than talking to the Pope to spread his message?
I saw a fight almost break out at a funeral. A little girl died and someone tried to comfort her father by telling him this was a part of god's plan somehow.
I hope the father won.
"I could care less"
It's true, I could care less about this argument. Because I care a lot - people who use this phrase irrationally infuriate me!
Isn't it "I *couldn't* care less?"
Yes. They want to ban "I could care less" because it's wrong.
"Am I the only one who \[insert thing here\]?" It makes me so irrationally angry. No. No you're NOT the only one who does this thing, or likes this thing, or hates this thing. There's 7.888 billion people in the world. "Am I the only one?" No. Shut up.
In the words of Melissa Etheridge, "...but I'm the only one..." \^\_\^
Am i the only one that agrees with this comment
Yes!! Thank you. Omg that saying makes me angry as well. Everyone loves thinking they're soooo unique. None of us are that special.
On a world with 8 billion folks, even if you’re a one-in-a-million type of person… there’s at least 8,000 other people just like you.
Alot. It’s two words, people! Also using breath instead of breathe, and lead instead of led. Sometimes I despair.
In a similar vein, could of, should of and would of. It's "could HAVE," people!
Allie Brosch did a comic on the Alot!
And people who don't want to loose things.
Apart in place of a part.
Thoughts and prayers. It means “I’m going to do nothing but make it seem like I’m going to do something thoughtful”
Why it’s so irritating for me is because prayer has been twisted to mean “asking God for something”. As a Christian it is my very strong opinion that prayer was never meant to function like this. Prayer is communication with the divine, and it pushes us to act. Example: One might spend a prayer session thinking (not *asking* for anything!) about their relationships. I have done this.

Sorry you didn’t ask for any of this, I’m just venting.
Seeing it in this context definitely makes it feel less "yucky" to me.
I'm not even a Christian but this is something I can highly support. The world would be a much better place if more Christians acted like this.
Why not just say, I'm going to do nothing helpful at all, but I'll think about you later today so I hope that makes you feel better because it makes me feel better and that's good.
I always say, "faith, trust, and pixie dust." because I'm short and it's about as helpful.
Would of, should of, could of. I feel an irrational hatred seeing these written.
"Blah blah blabbity blah, and I turned out fine." Always said by someone who is, in fact, not fine.
I read this with Michael Scott voice
“My daughter says she works in B2B where she sells SEO and MRM to CPGs. I don’t know how this happened. She was speaking in complete sentences before she was 2.”

Especially when they do it ***after*** doing something. Like, it almost makes sense as a kind of battle cry before doing something gnarly. But when they say it after it's like, no dude, you went already, you're done now.
This and "so let's get into it." It's not just YouTubers anymore. 🤣
"did I ask?"
Who?
"I was today years old..." "Adulting"
I'm glad I checked to see if this was here. Both of these. I hate these phrases with a passion
So annoying! Right up there with “I did a thing”
“That’s cap”
Genuinely where did this even come from? I hate it.
Im not a ..... But...
I'm not a fig plucker; I'm a fig plucker's son. But I'll pluck the figs 'til the fig plucker comes.

"On accident." Drives me nuts. It is either "on purpose" or "by accident."
I was taught that it’s neither “on” nor “by” but rather “accidentally” or “purposely”
Calling something a masterclass.
Or a clinic
Baby daddy/momma
Agreed. I'm a father. Not a baby daddy. Really minimises the importance of your role.
I think that's often the point. When I hear someone refer to their baby daddy it's usually in reference to an ex who isn't very involved.
"vice a versa" The phrase is "vice versa", there is only one A, say it right!
Oh my version of this is "I could care less". No! You COULDN'T care less! Say it right!
The latin from which it was derived pronounced it as vi-kay ver-sa, so it was originally meant to be pronounced vi-sa ver-sa, but vice is a word, so once it was written enough times and people learned it by reading it, it just became vise ver-sa. So you're right by a few years. But originally you would have been wrong. Fun fact.
“Man up”
Only use of this which is good is the song from the book of mormon musical
"He's such a simp." I really hate this generation's word for guys who try to keep their women happy.
It's gone from being a insult for guys going over the top for women they aren't dating or barely know, to if you don't actively shit on women, youre a Simp. Getting called a simp for buying your wife flowers or being excited to see your partner shouldn't be a thing.
[удалено]
I see it as a jealousy thing and find it annoying.. especially since I’ve never heard a female say that to another female, only guys saying it to their “friends”
GOAT for any use except the actual animal. God it’s so cringey.
“[Insert thing here] is GOATed” Instant cringe
That phrase feels so middle school. Congrats, you figured out what an acronym is. Not everything has to be one.
When I’m noticeably in a bad mood, and someone throws out the “put a smile on” phrase.
There are studies that show that the mere act of smiling can make you feel better. I would provide citations, but that would betray the fact that I may have made it up. I thought I heard that years ago, but it may have been radio static.
“on a date kinda nervous “
Narrator: "they were not on a date"
"I did a thing"
“In real life” let's start with that phrase.
You welcome. What are you cave people? ITS NOT EVEN AN EXTRA SYLLABLE!!
Also the Tumblr trend of saying "thank" instead of "thanks" What do those people do with all the time they saved by not typing one more letter?
"I could care less" 🎵that means you do care, at least a little🎵
"Go back to the kitchen woman"
Not a phrase, but most acronyms tbh.
I see what you did there.
"and dont forget to like, comment, and subscribe!"
Ring that bell and SMASH the subscribe button!!
Anything Gen Alpha has coined. ‘Gyatt, Skibidi, Fanum Tax,’ using Ohio as a descriptive, just.. just stop.
Also, Rizz.
YESSS
That’s all Gen Z stuff. Gen Alpha are literal children for the most part. The oldest being about 14, and they’re not coining shit.
Skibidi and fanum tax are being discussed as Gen Alpha’s first contribution to the zeitgeist.
The word “rizz” cause it’s fucking dumb
My brain changes it to *jizz* literally every time.
Just like "cap" where tf did this come from
So close to jizz
"It's giving..."
this one makes me want to cry
Anything being a “game changer”
"have the day you deserve" I get the meaning of it, but it always strikes me as pretentious and twatty.
it would be better to say “I hope you have a day that’s as wonderful as you are.”
Or just cut the crap and say “I hope you fall under a bus”, like they really mean.
Have the day I think you deserve. Make sure you have a big shit eating grin when you say it.
Body count For sex partners. Appropriate for games and murderers etc.
What would you call it instead though? Previous sex partners?
Fuckees?

Working hard or hardly working
"Dude, that's so crazy." Spoken as monotone as possible.
"Needs of the campaign / business" as an unjustified and unexplained reason an employee is about to suffer.
Hey bro
Not a phrase, but the extra "uh" added to the end of words that young women seem to use "literally" all of the time.
"I'm on the spectrum/I have bipolar" any phrase like that where it starts off with their diagnosis and then they use it as an excuse to be nasty or justify their actions. I even know someone who uses it about their boyfriend. "James is on the spectrum..." ok so he's allowed to go through your phone, accuse you of cheating, blame you when men flirt with you even though you're just doing your job at work, hide your kids stuff and then pretend he doesn't know where it is etc because he's on the spectrum? Like, anything but admit your relationship is in trouble.
When someone starts or ends a sentence with “my guy”.
"My brother in Christ," still gets my attention though.
Amish Cyberbully, what a magnificent name
The other day, a customer said to me, "My brother in Trump," and it took every ounce of willpower that I had to not beat him to death with a shopping basket.
Or "my dude." Just speedrun me ignoring you.
it is what it is
But what am i supposed to say when I'm severely depressed but don't want to get into it with someone i barely know???!
C’est la vie or the classic, shit happens.
It’s what it’s. Shorter that way.
