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.

Holding down the fort.

You hold the fort. It's a military term. It's not taking off if you let go of it.

"Solidarity" as it's too often used to make others do things you want.

Coffe-shop barista voice.

You all know what I mean: that 'I'm trying to make my voice croak but can't manage it." intonation.
