Expressions or words that you find annoying

“vv” to mean very, very. Weird internet thing. I’ve seen people use it in long paragraphs that are otherwise free of slang.

“Reach[ed] out”

Hmmm- in orthopedics, we say this a lot. Mostly in reference to an xray.

"I am so blessed" ok so god likes you more than other.. got it.

I get what you’re saying even as a believer.
“Oh we were so blessed that we made it safely in that crazy storm”
When other people’s houses were demolished.

But I can trust the words when it’s used in another context. As in, believing that all the good things you have come from
God. It was set forth in motion by him. Appreciation. But not safety from hazards. Bc god doesn’t grant that to all, if you’re a believer, you understand how death and pain fit in, and accept that he doesn’t make you avoid all of it.

ya that still makes "blessed" sound incredibly smug because again someone who has a good life is "blessed" more than someone who have an incredibly hard life because god chose to "bless"/give more to one than the other. Glory to god for not making that lump in your breast cancer but sorry Jane he chose not to bless you with a good diagnosis. Because if god can choose to give you good things that means god also chooses not to give others good things.

This sums up my feelings too. And basically explains why I am not religious. I have determined that God is either not that powerful, or not that benevolent. He can’t be both powerful and benevolent because…here we are as a society/human race.

I've said that once to someone who demanded an apology for something (my ex-MIL who said I didn't dote on her enough at our wedding, that's a direct quote) and I wasn't at all sorry because I had actually spent quite a bit of my time and energy on her that weekend and didn't feel like I should have spent more (probably should have spent less, actually). So yeah, I wasn't sorry for what I did but she demanded that I apologize so that's what she got.

Everyone I work with now insists they say it as corporate speak, but no. You heard it on HBO’s Succession as corporate speak. It was not actually corporate speak prior to Succession and I’m convinced it was some sort of mistake like when occasionally you’ll hear a legal Latin expression mispronounced in a lawyer/legal show because the writers obviously aren’t lawyers

People used that phrase in corporate settings prior to Succession. It's not an uncommon phrase. I noticed a lot of kind of therapy-minded phrases started sneaking into corporate jargon 10-15 years ago, and this is one of them. I also don't mind it because it's almost never a bad idea.

Corporate phrases I hate: out of pocket, circle back, deliverable, and random insults about power and hierarchy that reference totally different settings like "oh he's all hat and no cattle" to refer to someone with a big title and but little staff. "Take a beat" doesn't really register.

Pp - ok I stand corrected, but really? I never heard it before succession and work with corporate and M&A consultant types who love those cheesy sayings (boil the ocean, run it up the flagpole, etc and before the world became PC, shanghai’ed, open the kimono).

But I could be wrong! Anyway, I hate how suddenly everyone started using it.

"Boil the ocean"? What does that mean? (Seriously, I don't get it).

Someone I worked with used "open kimono" (as in, le's not hold back any information). At first I thought, okay, I get it but then it occurred to me, is that like seeing someone naked? I could never use this phrase.

Open the kimono is annoying bc ..
I get the analogy. Let’s be open here. Completely open

But then I start to imagine anyone in the room, particularly the person saying it, naked. And I assume it’s very very very unsexy. Like now I’m imagining wrinkles in certain places, you farting naked. Bad.

Exactly!!

Or something as "bad boy" about some giant or powerful thing.
"Nom-nom" about eating just grosses me out because it makes me think of people smacking their lips which bothers me. It seems to have died, thank God.
