It is human to have pet peeves—things that make the vein on your forehead pop just from thinking about them. It is also pretty common for them to stem from language, especially considering the impact of internet slang and an absurd number of acronyms in social media or texting. Amirite? Lol.

The AskReddit community is once again brimming with answers, this time—to the question of what slang word or term can drive a person insane. The responses are some pretty cringe expressions, which prompt people to close their eyes and sigh in disappointment.

Browse the list to see if you feel the need to cover your eyes as well after seeing these slang terms. If you do, check out these British phrases that are absolutely loved by non-Brits to see if you can find any substitutes.

“I could care less” drives me absolutely bonkers!

I **could** care less, implies you do care at least some.

I **couldn’t** care less, means you literally don’t care at all.

Cause everyone wants that viral clip... they just spot the smallest thing like a lady being annoyed that her order was messed up & she's just trying to get the right order. then all of the sudden they whip out their phone & start calling her a Karen when she's literally not even being rude. But they end up being the Karen because they're the ones antagonizing ppl for no reason!

Doggo, pupper, fur baby.

I work in the veterinary field and I once turned down a job because we were required to refer to the pets as fur babies and the humans as pet parents. I have no problem calling someone "Mom" or "Dad" to their dog or cat, if that's what they prefer. It was the *required* cutesy language that irritated me.

I'm gonna catch heck for this, but growing up on farms in the Midwest, cats & dogs had names (maybe on the barn cats!), and you certainly didn't call them terms of endearment. Same with the livestock, even your cow or pig for 4-H. You raised them from babies, named them & took care of them. You knew (and hoped) they'd get a high mark come fair time. College $$ for you & animal sold for slaughter. Sorry if this offends people, but it was just the way it was (is) on the farms.

It’s the “diminuishing thing” that really bothers me. Why do some folks put “baby-talk” names on somebody or something? Because they feel the need to make it or her or him small? That’s not fair. Cutesy language can be fine as long as it’s mutual, but definitely NOT as a requirement of any sort. Diminuishing somebody or something can be an act of disrespect, an insult.

We all have our opinions :) I personally find all the cutesy nicknames people use on babies nauseating. Cutie pie, snookums, snuggy-wuggy, etc. It's an opinion. I don't have any problem with pet nicknames like "doggo" because I prefer animals over human babies. I don't refer to myself as a "dog mom" or "cat mom", but you bet that I call my dog "pupper" or "doggo" sometimes - but he is responding to the tone of my voice, not the words.

Not necessarily slang, but more of self-censorship (and I think a lot of it comes from TikTok because you can't use certain words?).
Aside from the obvious like, f* ck/fck, here are some other examples I've come across: s *x - r *pe - unalive - p*rn - pretty sure I saw Hitluur in reference to Hitler - seggs for sex...

Wherever this trend of censoring literally everything has come from, it drives me up a wall and makes me think the person doing the typing is incredibly immature and pretty dumb. Can't say the word sex? Then you probably shouldn't be having it.

If this is in fact something TikTok started, to that I say *what the f**k* because, and correct me if I'm wrong, it's a platform where people can post videos of themselves scantily clad "dancing" (I.E., doing something that looks like synchronised seizures) but can't say "bad" words. How does that make sense???

In my opinion, it's all about context. I'm guilty of calling it "lady parts" when in certain company (including my 80 yr. old mother), which is much better than calling it a "cookie" like one of my friends (whose name I shall not mention) does. but it's not like I have a problem with or would avoid saying the words vagina or penis in a more clinical/serious setting. And I'm no prude, but to me, terms like pussy, c**t, and c**k can be a bit jarring when heard in public and are best saved for the bedroom, or wherever else sex is being had. What really gets me is when people like Khloe Kardashian refer to the pubic area as their vagina, saying s**t like "I shaved my vagina" when most of us know that is physically impossible.

I've always taken that stance until I first saw someone use the word "aesthetic" when referring to something cool, such as "That's so aesthetic." My head just exploded when I saw that. And then when everyone started saying "low-key" instead of "slightly" or "a little bit" like, "I'm low-key offended" or "He's low-key weird". I don't know why, but these two slang terms, in particular, just set me off.

It's kinda falling off but "low key" became much to overused and people were just using it as filler.

On reddit there are certain buzzwords that seem to catch fire and spread through the whole site that I despise. They get used to the point that most people using them have no idea what they actually mean. A current one is "gaslighting." Gaslighting isn't just when someone says something that is untrue or something you don't like. It's a specific thing.

Soz - you're apologising, without being bothered to say the whole word, seems somewhat ironic

since someone’s mentioned hooman, i’ll mention doggo and catto. i wish the trend of those cringey dubs over animals being silly would die. they make them far less funny, and animals don’t even need voices to be amusing in the first place.

Bruh

Some people just use that as complete statements or responses.

I once saw a reaction video on youtube and the guy was literally just saying bruh after ever few seconds. That was the whole reaction, something happened, he'd tilt his head up or shake it and say "bruh". Nothing else.

That's overused but you also have a lot of variations. Bro, burv, brah, breh, bruh... like wtf are we doing to this word? One variation "bro" should really have been enough the rest just come across dumb and goofy.

Cringe. I normally don’t care at all about slang and think people should be focused more on rhetoric than word usage…but cringe is so extremely overused and typically used to demean or basically abuse or even bully others.

“That’s so cringe! Those things are cringe! He’s being cringe!” Seriously? All these things make you cringe? An actual physical response to discomfort? Doesn’t seem like it. Seems like you just want to call other people losers or “nerds” while claiming to hold some sort of moral majority on your side. Like you have the right opinion or view and other people don’t.

Guess I cringe at “cringe”. It’s more the attitude behind it than the actual slang itself that irritates me.

People using "finna" when the rest of their vocabulary and accent rivals The Queen's Received Pronunciation. You sound ridiculous.

Edit: I am a 100% aware that Southern a/o Black Americans have been using this word for decades. There's no problem whatsoever with you. I'm talking about those that insert "finna" in their vocabulary when they personally distance themselves from any sort of "informality" in their chosen words.

Edit 2: *"I finna be in the pit"* is the perfect example of what I'm trying to say.
