Social media and smartphones have NOT been good for enhancing our command of LANGUAGE.
People are talking about the phrases that ANNOY them every time they hear them, and many of them come from overdone memes.
Here are the highlights:
1. “I was today years old . . .”
2. “This” . . . in place of saying that you agree.
3. “Well played.”
4. “I love that for you.”
5. “‘POV’ . . . of everything.” It’s used a lot in memes.
6. Another meme one: “Tell me you [blank], without telling me you [blank].”
7. “Not all heroes wear capes.”
8. Finishing every sentence with “you know what I mean?”
9. “There’s no such thing as a stupid question.” That HIGHLY underestimates the stupidity of the population.
10. “I did a thing.” And also: “All of the things.”
11. “Hubby,” “wifey,” “preggers,” and “doggo.” Also: “Fur baby.”
12. When people use “supposably” instead of “supposedly.”
13. “Gaslighting.” Mostly because it’s often used incorrectly.
14. “Living my best life.” Also: “Being my true self.”
15. “I’m in my [blank] era.”
16. Saying, “Thanks for coming to my ‘Ted Talk'” . . . after the most basic, unoriginal couple of sentences about their opinion of something.
17. “The ick.”
18. “[Blank] was not on my 2025 bingo card.”
19. “Adulting.”
20. “Lives rent-free in my head.”
