Everyone started saying “That really grinds my gears” for a couple of years and then it just went away again.
You can thank Family Guy for that explosion.
I've heard that one since I was a kid, but yeah it did kinda drop off.
People who talk in buzz words as if this makes them insightful and intelligent and think others who don't are ignorant and stupid.
I think 'emotional intelligence' is the one that has really bothered me the most really. It also can't even be quantified but everyone goes around talking about how 'high' theirs is and how they only want to be with other people who are 'emotionally intelligent' as they are. It's just another way of saying you don't like someone because they don't feel the way you do about whatever thing.
"Not gonna lie..." Uh, good, I guess
“It is what it is.”
It infuriates me because it is usually said by a person so mentally lazy that they are causing problems for others. You can’t say it is what it is unless you can tell me what ‘it’ is!
It’s not ‘acceptance’, it’s spiritual bypassing at best and it makes me want to puke.

"Give something 110%"
Fuck no! 100% is the max. Even that is often too much to ask. Also, what's in it for me? Your appreciation huh? Well fuck you.
"I have a challenge for you".
No you don't. You have a problem and want to make it mine. Piss off.
People who start sentences with "I mean,". It makes you sound like a contrarian or pedantic prick.
I mean, the other turn of phrase I hate is "living my/your/our/their best life". It's just cringe to me for some reason.
Agree, they are rarely clarifying what they mean. Useless filler like "literally"
"no offense" then proceeds to offend said person, or people using the word "YALL" how did it become popular when 15-20years ago and was considered unintelligent. Also people saying "entitled to thier own opinions" but end up saying thier own opinions matter more.
Stand up. As in we have to stand up to fight this or that.
"Yeah, nah" used as a spoken pause. Don't. Please. For my sake.
Good call
Y'all
