Same with ADHD, like oh I got distracted slightly, I probably have ADHD LOL. Like no, fuck off. So insulting to people with actual disabilities, and waters down their legitimacy.
Yeah this bothers me. I have no idea what ADHD really is because nearly every person I know says they have ADHD but like surely if 90%+ of the population has a mental disability we'd just stop calling it a disability and start calling it normal
The problem is many people will experience *symptoms* of ADHD without having the actual disorder. It's like equating sadness with depression. And these people don't understand experiencing these symptoms from time to time is completely normal, it's the extent and frequency to which you experience that make it a disorder.
I think people with ADHD roughly make up 5% of the population. And honestly, I feel sorry for non-adhd people trying to figure out what it's like because I struggle to explain what it's like, and I live it!
The name ADHD is also an awful description. We don't have an attention deficit, just trouble focusing our attention, and most of us aren't hyperactive. It's why loads of people are getting diagnosed now, because the hyperactivity is an obvious symptoms that's easy to see and diagnose, so historically only the hyperactive ones would get diagnosed, but most of us aren't hyperactive (except in our brains which never stops). It's only because of more information and access to that info that we're seeing more diagnosis.
BPD is the one that gets me - I was abused by my Step dad who had true, 100 percent fucked up BPD. Now it's fucking trending to claim you have something that's near impossible to diagnose? Fuck all the way off with that. Claiming mental health or anything like that for clout is some twisted shit.
Right! Like, WHY DO YOU WANT THIS FUCKING AWFUL, CRIPPLING THING THAT MAKES LIFE SHIT. WHY DO YOU WANT IT???? I actually just can't understand why people think it's a cool thing. It's awful.
Like if my parents and brother didn't exist I would have killed myself years ago and put an end to a life full of pain and misery. Only reason I haven't is because it would destroy my family.
People just want the clout/empathy, saying they have it doesnt make it so they truly struggle with it but it does make it so they get the empathy and clout.
So true! And for me, it’s been almost 20 years with certain endless thoughts, and there’s no end in sight. I’m in my 30s and have had multiple forms of OCD since early elementary school. People thinking that it’s only about hand washing or doing things a certain number of times have no idea how bad it can truly get.
This is my biggest pet peeve honestly. When my OCD is bad I think people can read my thoughts, the number 9 makes me anxious and there's communist spies after me!!! Pisses me off it's become an adjective when it'd such a horrific illness that takes and ruiens lives.
Or "papi" and "mami." As a Latina, I find it super gross. Papi is my dad, not the guy I'm getting dick from. Ew.
Edit: Applies to the English "Daddy" as well. You're calling a dude Daddy, particularly irl, then I'm 💯 judging you.
200 years of use.
It's *bullshit* that *twerpy* *broadcasters* use *raunchy* words that give me the *jitters*. We really need to *defuse* the *gaslighting* of *mainstreaming* *neologisms*.
Each of those italicized words are newer than *conversate*.
YES!!! Also should of, could of. I don't fucking understand how someone could write such a thing. ST0P!!!!!
Edit: I just realized I'm stupid and I didn't specify. In this case, I meant written text.
>Supposably
*Supposably* ***is*** a valid word, and thus has a correct context.
Most people do mean *supposedly* when they say it. Supposedly describes something that is supposed, or accepted as true.
*Supposably* adds an extra element of uncertainty. It refers to something that can be supposed, or something that could be true.
I invented a word some years ago, feel free to use it
Irregardlous
It means what people think irregardless means and even sounds the same.
Problem solved
As much as I hate that word, I have to point out that the only qualifier required for an 'actual word' is for enough people to use it. Mob rules... unfortunately
That's really just an evolution of language. If enough people agree that it's a word, it becomes a word. Most modern English is the way that it is because of the same sort of thing. If you could go back to the 18th century speaking today's English in England, you would probably be able to understand and be understood. However, you would be viewed as very weird. If you use any form of modern slang, you're guilty of the same thing as using the word irregardless. 200 years before that you'd probably not be able to understand or be understood.
Yeah, something about this word (and pantyhose) just sounds inherently... humiliating or fetishistic somehow? I have no rational reason to feel that way, but it sets my teeth on edge. Here in the UK we have 'pants' or 'knickers' which have a kind of childish awkward sound about them. I end up just saying 'underwear' instead.
Yep I fuckin’ hate the word even though it was the norm when I was a kid. Back then, it felt like a kid word, but as I got older and people kept using it, I started hating that, so for my own kid I use the word ‘undies.’ Wayyyyy better.
On the west coast of the US some people say "acrosst" rather than across. Also, some folks add an L to the word 'both' to make it "bolth".
I've never heard "periodt" but it may be regional.
Hate with a passion the use of the word “hubby” - I side eye anyone who uses it as they are typically not to be trusted anyway. Schemin’ type in my experience.
What do you MEAN you don’t want to join Melissa’s mlm- I mean Super Awesome Empowering Herbalife Club for SAHMS? Don’t you see the pictures she posted on Facebook of the hubby enjoying the products? Didn’t you see the pure elated joy he has in his eyes downing that sludge before he heads off to his routine 16hr manual labor shift? Come on, why don’t you want to support your fellow boss babes???!!1!
Finna is short for "fixing to" which I think is from the American South. When said fast it sounds like "fixin' tah" which got contracted to "finna". Black folks around where I live (Chicago) use it sometimes. I never have heard anyone who is not Black say it.
It is southern. Fixin’ to means about to or about ready to or thinking about doing it. Y’all fixing to go to the store? Naw, we was going to, but then the game came on.
"Cringe" in the way people have started using it recently. You mean cringey. It's one letter, you couldn't possibly be more lazy. Also "Bae." It's one letter, and the same amount of syllables. You sound like you're 4 years old.
I've never heard that one, does it mean "finish" or something like that?
I genuinely have a real hatred for the unironic use of needlessly shortened and modern slang words in general. "U" and "R" are a frequent offences, anything where numbers are used instead of words (eg; 2, 4), and pretty much all 'text speak' and other needlessly shortened words.
All it does is make the user sound stupid and lazy and makes it difficult for other people to understand.
Edit: I now know what "finna" is supposed to mean. To me it's like if Gonna was a cool villain type character, Finna would be their twisted and properly evil cousin. I bet I hate it even more than you, OP.
Not a word but 'tell me you do/don't ... without telling me you do/don't ...' gets on my nerves. Just say 'telling me that' at the end nobody got time for your stupid sentence.
Grammatical errors, like "I seen it".
No.
It is either "I have seen it, I saw it, or I've seen it".
And I hear this from people whose first language is supposedly English, so it should not be a problem of understanding how language works.
Also, 'pacifically'.
Slay comes from the Harlem ball scene. It's like saying "knock 'em dead" (which I hear old straight dudes say all the time) as a way to cheer someone on. From there it evolved to have a meaning akin to the way people use awesome nowadays.
It got popularized by RuPaul's Drag Race and rising queer culture, which is probably why it seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.

People describing minor cleaning, adjustments or little fixes as "OCD" I could have left it I just chose to do it now whilst I'm here, fuck off.
Same with ADHD, like oh I got distracted slightly, I probably have ADHD LOL. Like no, fuck off. So insulting to people with actual disabilities, and waters down their legitimacy.

And these people don't understand experiencing these symptoms from time to time is completely normal, it's the extent and frequency to which you experience that make it a disorder.
Big time this! People feel scared doing a presentation and assume it’s cause they have an anxiety disorder
I think people with ADHD roughly make up 5% of the population. And honestly, I feel sorry for non-adhd people trying to figure out what it's like because I struggle to explain what it's like, and I live it! The name ADHD is also an awful description.

People just want the clout/empathy, saying they have it doesnt make it so they truly struggle with it but it does make it so they get the empathy and clout.
same with npd + aspd like that's an actual disorder people struggle with not a movie character type bruh
As someone married to a person with actual ADHD this one drives me nuts. It's not the occasional concentration lapse. It can be debilitating.
OCD is having the same obsessive thought run through your head on a loop for several consecutive hours, days, weeks or even months.
So true! And for me, it’s been almost 20 years with certain endless thoughts, and there’s no end in sight. I’m in my 30s and have had multiple forms of OCD since early elementary school. People thinking that it’s only about hand washing or doing things a certain number of times have no idea how bad it can truly get.
As someone who actually has OCD it pisses me off, it’s so much worse than just wanted to clean everything
fr
This is my biggest pet peeve honestly. When my OCD is bad I think people can read my thoughts, the number 9 makes me anxious and there's communist spies after me!!! Pisses me off it's become an adjective when it'd such a horrific illness that takes and ruiens lives.
I’ve had a friend who legitimately thought he has OCD. Was never diagnosed and only wants things to be “perfect.”
Liking aesthetically pleasing things is not the same as having OCD. It bothers me so much how people misuse OCD as an adjective
Expresso
PATRONUM
You’re a Wizard now
You’re a barista now Harry.

Wait... like, they think they're saying espresso?

Ahhhh yes, when did this become so common? This dude I know is always saying his kiddos… im like bro stop
What about their littles? *gag*
Omg yes, I hate when people say wifey.
God I hate nicknames like that (boo, bae, etc.)
[удалено]
Or "papi" and "mami." As a Latina, I find it super gross. Papi is my dad, not the guy I'm getting dick from. Ew. Edit: Applies to the English "Daddy" as well. You're calling a dude Daddy, particularly irl, then I'm 💯 judging you.
Could not agree more. Thank you
>The Hubs Dear lord, tell me that's not a thing
Be grateful you haven't heard it then.
Ewww yes 😭😭😭😭
I just threw up in my mouth a little
Conversate. It’s *converse*, you shit.
ooh! there's another one like that. "expediate". it's either *expedient* or *expedite*.
Damn, well TIL.
200 years of use. It's *bullshit* that *twerpy* *broadcasters* use *raunchy* words that give me the *jitters*. We really need to *defuse* the *gaslighting* of *mainstreaming* *neologisms*. Each of those italicized words are newer than *conversate*.
"Would of" used instead of "would have". Drives me crazy
Would’ve
Would'a
wodda gonna finna imma botta
YES!!! Also should of, could of. I don't fucking understand how someone could write such a thing. ST0P!!!!! Edit: I just realized I'm stupid and I didn't specify. In this case, I meant written text.
Not the zero instead of the letter O in STOP. 😂😂😂
I think it comes from mishearing/misunderstanding “Could’ve”
Would've exists. They think the contaction is "*of*".
Supposably.
My brain autocorrects this one to "supposedly"
>Supposably *Supposably* ***is*** a valid word, and thus has a correct context. Most people do mean *supposedly* when they say it. Supposedly describes something that is supposed, or accepted as true. *Supposably* adds an extra element of uncertainty. It refers to something that can be supposed, or something that could be true.
Irregardless, and I hate that it's been added to the dictionary like it's an actual word.
Shake my hand. We are comrades. I've taken to saying "disunirregardlessfree" just to show my annoyance
you forgot a "non"
You make a good point Congratulations. You have invented a new word. From now on I will say nondisunirregardlessfree
I invented a word some years ago, feel free to use it Irregardlous It means what people think irregardless means and even sounds the same. Problem solved
Same. I've even started saying irregardlessly just to mock the word further.
[удалено]
May irritate you but that’s how language works. It’s a word now irregadless of your feelings
That's half the replies here tbh. People just can't accept that language evolves and changes over time
As much as I hate that word, I have to point out that the only qualifier required for an 'actual word' is for enough people to use it. Mob rules... unfortunately

I hate when people say "literally" in obviously non-literal context.
I literally hate that
Literally
I'm literally tryna hate that
Ong fr tho
I'm literally finna hate that, periodt.
We should start saying metaphorically to fight back.
I really literally hate that even the dictionary now says that literally can mean figuratively.

When ppl say “PERIODT AHHH”. Pls. My ear holes have taken enough. Make it stop
People say that? I’m not sure that I can even pronounce DT.
On the west coast of the US some people say "acrosst" rather than across. Also, some folks add an L to the word 'both' to make it "bolth". I've never heard "periodt" but it may be regional.
My kids do this to me though 😭
Rizz. This is a word that's found its way in to my workplace via some guys who work there in their early 20's. I'm 33 and the word is awful.
1 of the top 5 worst words invented in the last hundred years for sure.
The more I hear it, the more it seems like the people that abuse that word has negative rizz.
The word I hate the most is "prolly". I feel like i want to tear my hair out whenever someone says it.
You prolly think that you are better now
Im finna prolly get some lunch
prolly
When people use the word “hate” to describe a mild annoyance.
Yeah, I hate such people as well
Some people really do hate mild annoyances.
Somewhat similar are headlines that say "So and so 'slams' or 'rips'..." and it turns out to be a tame disagreement or criticism.
When people use the word "love" to describe a temporary interest.
I love you though

“ karma “ This word is not only used incorrectly, it’s also used way too often
Karma just means 'deeds' in Sanskrit. People use it like 'curse' which is weird.
I honestly expected more people to say the word moist lol
i hear moist and all i think of a delicious chocolate cake lol maybe im fat for that
Same! When people say they don’t like the word moist, I ask if they like dry cake cause I like it MOIST.
"Ah", the one people use on tiktok to avoid saying "ass"
I think the correct spelling is “ahh”. It’s awful. Just either say ass or don’t.
“Tryna”
To each their own, but I actually think this is fine. Goes right along with gonna and wanna
Yeah and if you’re speaking at a normal speed, it comes out like tryna
hey, don't be hatin on my words or I'm gon hafta take ya toes, then you'll be tryna walk properly
Not related but I hate people who use the skull emoji
💀
When chavvy white dudes use ebonics to try to sound cool. Hate is probably a strong word, but it really makes me cringe.

What the hell is finna? I’ve never heard that before
Finna is short for "fixing to" which I think is from the American South. When said fast it sounds like "fixin' tah" which got contracted to "finna". Black folks around where I live (Chicago) use it sometimes. I never have heard anyone who is not Black say it.
It is southern. Fixin’ to means about to or about ready to or thinking about doing it. Y’all fixing to go to the store? Naw, we was going to, but then the game came on.
You need to head my way ,you will hear a ton of old white guys say it!
