Irritating phrases

TheCatWoman

Sorry, but "life hack" annoys the hell out of me, I know what it means, but it sets my teeth on edge, whats wrong with a "tip" or something ?

Another thing is, text speak in normal conversation.

  • "Sorry not sorry" always infuriated me, although I realise that's probably because I look much more at the literal phrasing of it.

    It's not just being unapologetic, it's being so against believing they did something wrong that they need to explicitly state it, and doing so in a way that uses apology phrasing to refuse to apologise. It was never directed at me in a malicious way, but as a phrase it just seems cruel.

    Thankfully it seems to have mostly died out.
