Please don't think I'm here to complain about rizz or skibidi toilet etc. Thats all fine by me.

The term I dislike strongly is 'eeeh' before you make a statement disagreeing with someone. (This is over text only). Now maybe I've been pavloved bc it's always used by someone disagreeing. But I'm happy with people disagreeing with me normally its just the 'eeeh' or 'erm' that annoys me.

So what's a random term that annoys you?

PS. Saying "eeeh actually 'eeh' is a perfectly fine term" would be a ridiculously easy joke and I will judge you for making it. And I know atleast one person will. Especially bow that I've said all this.

SME (pronounced smee)

My company is flooded with SMEs who aren’t even good, let alone experts at anything

Lemmings. A creature with a (erroneous but nevertheless extant) reputation for idiotically following each other off a cliff to die.

Holding down the fort.

You hold the fort. It's a military term. It's not taking off if you let go of it.

"Folks" makes my skin crawl. I feel like it's used to make someone appear friendlier while saying "you people", in the context of being manipulated by someone with power.

"For me"

I know it's your opinion because you're the one saying it. And the construction of it is just weird. "For" me. I dunno.
