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.

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.

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 mean... this is rooted in misogyny though. Were literally taught that being a woman, having a vagina & talking about it is something to be ashamed of. So we make up these stupid words to side skirt around saying "vagina" just because it makes other ppl uncomfortable.. mostly men. It's like when you say "period" in front of immature men. They basically cry about it. Then demand you never talk about your period or your vagina in any other context than you wanting to have sex with them. Lol. So yeah.. this one doesn't bother me. But I do think we need to stop avoiding the word "vagina" because there's no reason for anyone to dislike the word. No reason to be embarrassed & no reason to call it anything else.

No. Those euphemisms are commonly used instead of medical terms because women are either ashamed/embarrassed by their sexual parts, or because inadequate education means they don't know the correct words. Women should certainly have the confidence to enjoy having fun with their vulvas, but they should also have the confidence to use basic terms for them, rather than hiding behind words that disguise the subject, or dimish them into something less 'threatening'.

I tend to use the word "plumbing" with work related questions when I am asking patients. The words "indoor plumbing" and "outdoor plumbing" do not seem to offend and are generally well understood by people with limited medical/anatomical terminology. If the person then uses their own words I will go with that. So I have ended up working on a ward full of 50-60yr old men having to ask them all have they had any outdoor plumbing issues going for a wee today when doing obs. They get it, I get it, it is harmless and no one jacks up about it in my experience. You do end up as a nurse asking people some direct questions from the get go

Each new 'medical' type word becomes rude or an insult. 'C**t' used to be the proper word for it. Likewise 'idiot' and 'cretin' were medical diagnoses. A let's not forget that 'spastic' became acceptable as an insult in the US (not in the UK) and forced several charities to change their names..

I have a neice with whom I am very close, and we talk on the phone frequently. But it has garnered a sense of familiarity in her that I'm just another one of her frends, and she speaks without filters. I have to stop her from time to time and tell her that I'm not interested in hearing about her "lady parts". We're related, and, I am a male 30+ years older than her. I will not use "vagina" when talking to her.

Yet you can't/ don't say vulva. Most people say vagina instead of vulva, yourself included, I'm guessing.

This is one of those instances when I'm tempted to use: "Say you don't have kids without saying you don't have kids."

But junk-al region is ok right? As in the area where your junk is. It’s non-gender specific. “I punched them in their junkal region”. See, works fine

"It Hurts My Soul": People Share 50 Slang Words They Just Can't Stand One of my coworkers uses “Gucci” as good. I must have missed when they became popular or it’s his own thing but it makes me cringe.

None of them really drive me insane. I've always had an "amused old man" attitude towards it, even when I was a teenager. When I hear a new slang word I'll just chuckle and go, "kids say the darndest things."

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.

"drip" in reference to, apparently, being well dressed. I can't work out how that happened. it sounds like an STD.

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.

since someone’s mentioned hooman, i’ll mention doggo and catto. i wish the trend of those cringey dubs over animals being silly would die. they make them far less funny, and animals don’t even need voices to be amusing in the first place.

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.

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.

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.
