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.

Half the time the ppl filming are actually the Karen's. Lol. 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've noticed that people in the corporate environment are using "ask" as a noun in place of "request." I know language changes but it just seems unnecessary.

I'm not sure what it is about this usage that irritates me, but it makes me grind my teeth, I swear.

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???

F**k. I hate TikTok.

I loathe most of the obnoxious words people will use to avoid saying vagina. Coochie. Vajayjay. Girly bits/parts. The list could go on and on.


I don't mind the cruder stuff, like pussy, c**t, etc. But the thirty year old women who use elementary school lingo to discuss their vagina just make me insane.

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.

Most people don’t even realize that “gaslighting” is from the 1944 movie “Gaslight” wherein the husband, Charles Boyer, is trying to make his wife, Ingrid Bergman, think she is losing her mind by various means including adjusting the gas in the lights (pre-electricity) to dim and flicker. Bergman won an Oscar for her performance.

Kittens and puppies are immature. Cats and dogs are adults. No, they're not on par with humans, but they aren't children. Calling them such and treating them like infants removes their innate dignity and prevents them from being themselves.

I'm curious to know how WE are supposed to know if they are being prevented from being themselves? I like when people speak for animals, though. And I don't know about others, but my Yorkie is 10 and I feel my husband and I are fully aware of her personality and therefore the voice we use for her we feel suits her. Our 2 yo mini Aussie is completely derpy so his chosen voice seems to fit him as well. Neither of them have ever shown any signs of distress when we speak for them.

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.

I feel so called out right now, I consider myself to have, you know, an average vocabulary, but I use so many of these words and now i'm wondering if I'm just stupid or a Youth (tm) ;-;

Apparently I'm the least cool person on the planet. I've never heard of the majority of these words.

“Living rent free in your head.”

First of all, what does that even mean? Second of all, no.

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.

That happens to me a lot. I start it out as a joke, and then soon it isn’t a joke anymore.

Stan/We Stan.

It completely misses the point of the song, it makes people sound like they can’t think for themselves, and is overall stupid.

It’s like a cult mantra.

Guess I’m an old man now, and I’m completely f*****g fine with that.
