What are some phrases that piss you off?

[rnottelovesowls]

i hate variations of "it's for kids, they'll watch anything, because kids are stupid". a classic cop-out for any hack writer who thinks that flashy colors and loud noises qualify as worthwhile children's entertainment

uh, no, sir. shrek, the lion king, toy story, spider-verse, bluey, peanuts, A:TLA, the owl house, gravity falls, adventure time, TMNT, pretty cure, doraemon, and winnie the pooh are all proof that it is possible to tell a great story to children, without insulting their intelligence. now will everyone stop assuming that all children's entertainment is just caillou, cocomelon, baby shark, and youtube shorts content farms? PLEASE?

I haaaate life is like a box of chocolates you never know what you're gonna get
because with a box of chocolate you DO know what you're gonna get.
Not only are you for sure going to get chocolate but THE FLAVORS ARE LABELLED UNDER THE BOX JUST OPEN YOUR DANG EYES AND YOU'LL KNOW WHAT YOU'LL GET

Now I'm wondering if boxes of chocolates DIDN'T label their contents in the past and that's how the phrase came to be...

I hate:

Code

Jack of all trades, master of none...

Not only because it goes against the very human nature of curiosity (and thank god many of us are moving towards a more generalist mindset), what mainly pisses me off about it is that people quote it wrong by not saying the entire thing!

The saying goes:

Code

Jack of all trades, master of none...
but oft times better than a master of one.

  Hits different when you have the full context ehh?

People saying "I'm such a chud" or even just the slang word "chud" that's been rising in gamer spaces from what I've seen.

It's an infuriating slang term, I don't even know where it came from. It's just a mean word to refer it to yourself or other people. There's no point to it but to be mean.

"I don't believe in that" when referring to things such as Weapons, fighting or whatever the case be. Like I can show you a weapon, you can't not believe in something that exists. I understand what they mean, but that sentence is not accurate at all. Idk, it's a weird pet peeve of mine.

As well as the new "Larper" term. It's POSER. LARP is Live Action Role Play. And Larping is the act of playing it. Why would you reuse another word that already has a negative light to it (It was the same as D&D, Anime, etc. until modern times but Larping never got big and is still seen as 'way to nerdy'). I'm not a Larper personally, but I don't think they should have to deal with even more negativity/bias' around them personally. I have a few friends that LARP and there's literally nothing wrong with it at all, just a group of people having fun and calling people who 'pretend to play games' or w/e LARPers when they're actually Posers just gets under my skin

"Kiddos", "Hubby", "Hubs", "Wifey" all drive me BESERK. 

I think its the combination of it being not only corny but suburban sounding... and a bit too over-familiar for public use? 

Of course I'll never be weird to someone for using it, but its certainly a pet peeve of mine. Maybe there's something abstract at play too knowing that its probably a nuclearized web of care? I am a firm believer of expanding care networks beyond that, but that's rambling for another day.

It's happening everywhere on the Internet too! Came from a 1984 movie "C.H.U.D.", then used to mock alt-right ppl iirc, then became reclaimed by alt right ppl and the like to refer to themselves, then spread around the web.
A similar (but not the same) thing is happening to "foid" and it makes me super uncomfortable. If someone ever says either of those words to me that's an instant red flag.
