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.
“Completely different” when the two things are actually very similar
Not specifically a word, but i hate when people mix english with their native language
Its especially worse when they use words that are nearly identical

No, you don’t have a “challenge” for me. You have a problem and are trying to make it mine.
Man if that isn’t just empty manager-speak, rephrasing things to BS you and be manipulative. Lol
Ironically, the phrase “rustles my jimmies” really burns my biscuits.
I like both Rustles my jimmies and burns my biscuits, although I’m not sure I’ve ever heard it
“Oftentimes”
Its always interchangeable with Often. Just use Often.
Never mind I found it
…took the effort to nvm-d the post, but did not share how, where, or what etc
Mama, momma, mommas…
“Hey Facebook mommas, I’ve got a question about…”
I don’t know why, but it annoys the shit out of me.
Similarly, not a fan of when teachers and parents talk about their “kiddos.”
Feels like they’re needlessly using a more playful childish term to make themselves part of a separate “in group” who “gets it.”
I hadn’t thought about that one. I occasionally use the word kiddo, but only to say, “hey kiddo!” I never use it to talk about my kids, like “we took the kiddos to the park yesterday.”
Yeah, it’s specifically the not talking to a kid version that bothers me.
I pick up a subtext of self-importance and I think that’s what I find irksome. A mom is a parent. A momma is a special parent who will do anything for their baby, you’d better watch out. A kid is a child. A kiddo is a specific child who has a close bond with their momma or teacher that you wouldn’t understand. That’s the vibe I get.
I’d like to introduce to my friend Freud.
I don’t think it’s some latent psychological issue. I get along great with my mom, and I’ve never felt any resentment toward her. I’m also not bothered by words like mom, moms, mother, etc. I don’t even mind when my sons call my wife “mommy.” It’s just that one word, “momma,” that bugs me. I wish I had an explanation.
Oh no I didn’t mean that. Twas just a joke.
(I also dislike twas)
For me it’s “I’m offended” or “this offends me”. I get it, some topics might be triggering for some people but if you get offended because someone has a different opinion, that’s your problem, not the rest of the world problem.
“cis” I feel like it’s an extra term for “straight”. The “default” for lack of a better term (and one that isn’t othering) is near the not trans & not gay part of the gender / sexuality spectra. To me everyone in that zone is “straight” (boring/default/whatever).
“begs the question” because people exclusively use it wrong. Just say “leads to the question” or “poses the question.”
And I’m still really salty about everyone giving up on the term “literally” to allow it to mean its exact opposite.
The “default” for lack of a better term
There is a better term, it’s ‘cis’
Dork cissie in SHAMBLES after conflating “cis” (gender matches that assigned at birth) and “straight” (attracted to the ‘opposite’ binary gender) to whine about how they are the DEFAULT and so the term annoys them.
Chaser shit. Literally, "I need to be ‘the default’ so I can exoticize somebody else". You type like a cishet white.
Cis and straight are… Entirely different axes, though. How would you describe someone who is cis and gay, or trans and straight while applying “straight” to both sexual orientation and gender identity?
cis and straight have clearly delineated meanings and are both useful terms. sounds like a you problem
There are plenty of cis gay folks. “Straight” just doesn’t work if you’re trying to describe non-trans people.
I find “cis” useful, personally. I’m bisexual, so certainly “straight” isn’t applicable. In a lot of contexts I’d use “cis” to refer to myself, I suppose “not trans” would also work, but it’d be clunkier.
Plus, there are times when the thing I want to centre in my communication is the cisgender perspective that I have. For example, I was recently discussing with a friend that seeing trans friend’s gender euphoria improved my own relationship to my gender because it made me ask myself whether cis people could experience gender euphoria and if so, why couldn’t I recall any instances of experiencing it?
I feel like the term “cisgender” implicitly acknowledges that voices and experiences like mine are important in building a shared understanding of gender — i.e. trans people aren’t the only ones who have a gender. Like, obviously I can’t speak directly about trans experiences, but that doesn’t mean that I’m expected to shut up and contribute nothing to the wider conversation.
“cis”
When the richest manchild in the world
outright bans people from his “radical free speech” cryptofascist safe space for saying “cis,” maybe it’s not a good look to be that worked up about that particular prefix. 
The question was “what term annoys you” not “what term annoys you that you’re sure Lemmy will approve of” (or that a malignant narcissist billionaire isn’t also annoyed by).
I’m open to an explanation of a commonplace situation where it’s necessary to have a separate word for “is of the gender that matches that assigned at birth.”
To me it’s like if I say I enjoyed the sunrise" and someone says, “you mean the Earth sunrise?”
I mean yeah, sunrises happen all over the solar system, there are different kinds of sunrises, probably all beautiful in their own ways, but in general the default “sunrise” a human is likely to be talking about is the one we experience on Earth.
I’m open to an explanation of a commonplace situation where it’s necessary to have a separate word for “is of the gender that matches that assigned at birth.”
Any time that you assume something is some vague obvious-to-you “normal” by default and insist that everyone else that isn’t that “normal” requires a distinct identifier.
You sound like a typical boomer that describes the ethnicity of anyone except those the boomer otherwise sees as “normal.”
but in general the default “sunrise” a human is likely to be talking about is the one we experience on Earth.
In this example they, the CIS are human, and the non-cis is implied to be what? Non-human? This person sucks.
Cis is just the opposite of trans. If some people are trans then it follows others are cis.
20 years ago you’d be pissing and whining about the use of heterosexual.
And we’ve used it for years for other words with the trans prefix, see Cisalpine versus transalipine gauls in roman history.
I’m open to an explanation of a commonplace situation where it’s necessary to have a separate word for “is of the gender that matches that assigned at birth.”
trans people existing is that “commonplace situation” you worthless fucking worm
cishets need mandatory re-education at a minimum. this one should just be shot.

Waste of a perfectly good bullet; they make deep holes in the earth for that
the ussr left us the kola superdeep borehole knowing we would one day fill it with the absolute worst garbage humanity would ever produce

Because they so loved the world
The question was “what term annoys you” not “what term annoys you that you’re sure Lemmy will approve of” (or that a malignant narcissist billionaire isn’t also annoyed by).
Nowhere in that question does it say you are free from being criticized for your dumbshit worldview. It’s a public forum, you write something, don’t get surprised when people respond.
To me it’s like if I say I enjoyed the sunrise" and someone says, “you mean the Earth sunrise?”.
That’s incredibly weird. To me it’s like someone saying “I’m trans, and you?” And the other responding “I’m cis.” Funny how that works.
I’m open to an explanation of a commonplace situation where it’s necessary to have a separate word for “is of the gender that matches that assigned at birth.”.
See above. Also see: Whenever you need to classify yourself as cis-gender in any survey, form or likewise.
Sunrises on other planets are not a reality for anyone on Earth. The existence of trans people is.
you suck
- There are two kinds of races, white and political.
- There are two kinds of gender identities, male and political.
- There are two kinds of sexual attractions, straight and political.
- There are two kinds of gender congruences, cis and political.

“Cis” is not an extra term for straight any more than “trans” is. These terms have nothing to do with sexual orientation. If you can handle the word “straight,” as opposed to “boring/default/whatever,” then you can also handle the word “cis” by the same logic.whatever you say, cissie
What the fuck
I mean I shouldn’t be that shocked this is just the average cis persons internal rhetoric
What’s your preferred term for “not trans”?
Apparently, just unspoken default/normal. You know, boomer-style solipsism.
They suggest that we use “straight” to mean both hetero and cis, and then use different terms for the “other” people.
“The proof is in the pudding.” It makes zero sense! The actual adage is, “The proof of the pudding is in the eating.” It means that a dessert can look perfect and enticing, but if the cook used salt instead of sugar it will taste disgusting.
I don’t know what people even think they’re saying with “the proof is in the pudding”.
“bend the knee”
“Sweet summer child”
And other phrases from GoT that people now pretend they’ve been saying their whole livesCalling someone a bot or a shill because they post something you disagree with. It’s so stupid. Like even if the person is a bot, would that matter if the point they’re making is salient and sourced?
“I don’t need to engage with the fact Biden has deported more people than Trump, because you are actually russian. Thus I have no reason to investigate my worldview.”???
It’s also such a tell. Like the person can’t imagine anyone thinking anything other than what they think, so they must not be real people with internal lives. Can’t imagine independent thought, literal NPC behaviour.
Especially because it’s always the most average of redditor-take-havers that say it.
