    Downfall.

    I don’t know how, when, or why, but every dumbass near me started using “downfall” in a sentence where you would use “drawback”.

    Like and Subscribe. I don’t like when YouTubers say that, especially at the beginning of a video.

      For me it’s “I will see you in the next video” especially when they give a day (“on Thursday”) assuming I what the video the minute it’s uploaded and not a year later. Also, you never saw me and most likely never will. That’s not how videos work. I see the content creator but they don’t see me. Get your facts right.

    “Speaks out”. Commonly used by news organizations to describe anyone saying anything.

    “Just do…”

    That “Just” always skips 20 steps.

    I find myself annoyed by “not gonna lie”/“ngl”,“just sayin’”, or really anything along those lines that gets tacked on without adding anything to the statement.

    “Spin up”

    Commonly heard in IT circles; “Let’s spin up a meeting”.

    There are literally dozens of less stupid words you could use.

    the phrase “rustles my jimmies” really, well, gets under my skin

    burns my biscuits

    ruffles my feathers

    grinds my gears

    bruises my tomato

    pisses in my lemonade

    rains on my parade

    gets my hackles up

    gets my garters in a twist
