Most hated modern day small talk phrases….

[85Bears]

“Fam”, “my peeps”

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Mouth breather

 

[OG Goat Holder]

Somebody's been hanging out with a lot white women aged about 38 or older.

Or @Out of Bounds

 

[mstateglfr]

Don’t have the bandwidth. You’re not a ******* internet connection.

This crept into my vocab sometime in the last year and I have struggled to ditch it.

...I guess I just don't have the bandwidth right now to focus on removing it from my speech.

 

[HomeBoyDawg]

Yada yada (Apologies to Seinfeld fans.)
Anywho
If you're here today... (How much time in my life has been wasted by preachers, speakers, etc. saying that because if I'm not "here today", guess what?)

It's a pretty good one to use to get out of doing/going to stuff, with the right crowd.

Borrowing this from Seinfeld
"It is what it is" : you have added nothing to the conversation by saying this. You have just wasted our time. This has no meaning.

I've posted this before but I will cut anyone who says "chillax"

And borrowing from Adam Corolla :
If I ever say thay I did the best I could with what I had, it means that I have completely failed.
(This was in his parenting book, so applies to being a parent but true in general... yes I read a parenting book by adam corolla!)

Agree with the, “well they did the best they could, or he always made do the best he knew how”

loser mentality

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Anyone who tries to sound like they're SOOOooo much smarter than the person they're arguing with. If it's so obvious, why do you have to point it out for the rest of us?

I'm tired of hearing the whole I'm smarter than everybody else yes argument. I really don't care if you're smarter than me or everybody else. Have a cookie.

 

[BreckyBratt]

Reach out

 

[uptowndawg]

I’ve stopped using the word ‘just’ and it’s going pretty well. Instead of typing an email saying that you’re just checking on something, say that you’re checking on something.

 

[OG Goat Holder]

Reach out

Circle back

 

[dorndawg]

Circle back

The one acceptable time for this is whenever it is in December that you more or less shut it down for the year, and you and your colleague agree to circle back after the First.

 

[STATEgrad04]

Living your best life
Hits different
Referring to something as extra
Referring to good as life changing
Something is “on point”
Big facts
The fleek in general
AF
Yeet
Sus
I can’t even right now
I dunno
On the daily
I was today years old
I want
Oof
Something “Be like”
Anything “Next Level”
Low key anything
If you know, you know
Amirite
Tell me something without telling me something
Peeping something
Prolly
No cap
Sheesh
I did a thing
The feels
Me:
Also Me:

Bussin
Drippin
Period
Gonna
if you know you know
I’m here for it
What had happened was
The whqtthe peeping croom?

Circle back

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Circle back

^^^^This^^^^ the company I work for has several younger Corporate Overhead employees that use “Circle Back” on every Webex. I would rather they just say”I haven’t done sh@t ,but let me get that done and I will get back to you.”

 

[HotMop]

Who's fingering me?

[Perd Hapley]

1) “I know right”

2) “So what does that look like”, followed by 17ed up description, when describing an idea;

3) “we did such and such in the such and such space”;

Carlin used to call it soft language. Much of modern day pussiness. Why use these extra words?

Any use of the word “leverage” in place of the far more simple word USE in corporate jargon. “Leveraging my skills in coding in this new position”, “Leveraging the various strengths of the crossfunctional team to meet our deadline”. Holy 17….makes me want to punch somebody.

 

[dudehead]

The word “amazing“ has been neutered from overuse.

 

[L4MANDW]

May be golden day instead of modern day small talk phase now, but Joey on “Friends” w/the head nod & the look, “How U Doin’?!.” LOL

 

[HRMSU]

"I'm going to speak my truth" or any similar version.

The truth is the truth and it doesn't care who you are.

 

[Pink Floyd.sixpack]

Price point
City center

Asking any question and the follow up “yeah?”

Intuitive

but the thing that gets me worst, and the only way I know how to describe it is the “silent t pause”. For instance if one of the millennials says the word mountain it comes out “moun in”. Or important being pronounced like “imporen”

 

[revereno]

“Does that make sense?”

Makes me cringe even typing it.

 

[Eleven Bravo]

“Ya know what I’m sayin”? Yeah, I can hear, so I know what you’re saying.

“I know, right”? Another dubmass-sounding, heavily overused one for sure.

 

[TNDawg1]

“At any rate” following a long winded opinion and just before a reiteration of said long winded opinion.

 

[FlotownDawg]

“You do you.” It’s a very condescending thing to say to somebody. “I have these enlightened ideas and am doing this super cool thing, but you do you.”

 

[BulldogBlitz]

[hdogg]

“You do you.” It’s a very condescending thing to say to somebody. “I have these enlightened ideas and am doing this super cool thing, but you do you.”

I told my wife this exact same thing! She says this crap sometimes and it drives me nuts.

 

[Seinfeld]

If you use the phrase “it is what it is” I assume that you are a stupid person with no ability to influence the world around you and you just accept whatever hand you are dealt.

I get what y’all are saying, but there really isn’t a more powerful way to shut down a conversation that you don’t want to be having with a mother-in-law, so this phrase definitely has its place

Do you honestly believe that anyone with so much as a rudimentary understanding of the history of this board would think that?

For all intensive purposes…

That one kindly drives me crazy

 

[Maroon Eagle]

This thread shows that maybe this board should be renamed and called…

Abe Simpson Speak.

I don’t know what folks will think of the acronym though…

 

[horshack.sixpack]

After decades of hearing it used on nearly a daily basis, I still haven't figured out why "touch base" makes any sense in the context it's used.

There's a bunch of other things that irritate me...mostly things that executives say that make them think they sound effective. Laser focused seem to be popular as of late.

Also..."let's goooooooooooo!!!!!!!!". Kill it with fire.

Edit: Another thing I just remembered. Do people (sorority girls, namely) still greet others with "heyyyyy! What are you dooooinnnnng?" Well...I'm here talking to you now, wtf do you think I'm doing?

I don't know if that was a MS thing...an MSU thing at a point in time or what. But I stopped hearing it once I graduated and left Starkville. Don't miss it.

They still use some version of overly exaggerated words to greet people that they are paying to pretend to like so it may not be the same words but basically sounds the same

These 17ers on this board should all be getting AARP, ED, Ensure, Miracle Ear, FoxNews, and “Buy Gold” ads in their pop-ups**********
