Fuck you Tom! That's how you react to your brat violating the bodily autonomy of another human beeing!? Hearing you say that means he feels it's normal, he's got permission and that it's good masculine behavior. You're teaching your son to be an asshole instead of a functioning human being. Boys will behave better if we teach them to, so you better pick up the slack and join the rest of us in raising your fucking child!
Eh...
“I call it as I see it.”
“I’m just very straightforward and honest.”
No, you’re a prick. That’s what you are.
Yeah, being truthful is generally good but that's independent of being an ass about it.
Instead of “et cetera”, the speaker says something akin to “dut da da”. Drives me crazy!
Oh there's one I hate to no end.
To make a superlative, in Spain there's this sentence that it has become popular:
[whatever adjective]? not, the next thing
Tall? Not, the next thing
Difficult? Not, the next thing
Expensive? Not, the next thing
Blue? Not, the next thing
What the fuck is the next thing?
It was uninspired 15 years ago, now is just infuriating when you hear it five times in the same conversation.
I'll be honest, I'll be honest
“It is what it is.”
If you don’t have anything valuable to add, say nothing. Like, silence is okay.
"Look, all I'm saying is..."
Yeah I get it. You're not going to acknowledge what I just finished saying, you're not going to respond to the facts that contradict you, and you're just going to reiterate your oversimplified and shitty opinion, hoping to slip away from this argument that you're losing.
'could care less' instead of "couldn't". I know it's just a regional / generational difference, I don't really care about being a prescriptivist or that my way is more "logical". Phrases and idioms can be stupid and counterintuitive. But that ~~'s~~ said, it bugs the living hell out of me, and I instantly think anyone using it is an ignorant dumbass.
I literally dislike it whenever anyone uses the word literally when they clearly mean figuratively.
Its just extra syllables to lie to me.
"It is what it is". This cliche is symptomatic of learned helplessness and only serves to protect the status quo against any sort critical analysis and reform.
Pretty context dependant. Some things you can't change and have to deal with, so it is what it is. We got shit tools but the work needs to be done now so it is what it is.
"It's just common sense." No, it's usually either an inference you made based on incorrect information, or it's information you gleaned from your particular environment that not everyone has experienced.
