What word or term annonys you? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

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.

"Ding ding ding!" When someone agrees with something you wrote, but wants to make sure that you know that they already knew and claim ownership of the statement that you wrote. Condesending asshole. I did not arrive at your opinion late.

"Meanwhile" in cooking recipes. Just no. I am following a recipe in stepwise order. You do not get to tell me what I should have already done in the previous step.

The entire way recipes are written is trash.

"Add the flour and stir gently": How much flour? Why do I have to scroll back up to check?!

It makes sense to have the ingredients first for making a shopping list and prepping. However, I do agree, with recipes being online, it should be a small task to include the quantity in the description too, even if it is adjustable for different servings.

Normally, portioning out the ingredients would be the first step of the process and is all done at once.

Probably not normally, but ideally. I doubt mise en place is all that common in most homes.

How many tablespoons do you think I own?

Oooh yeah. Even saying, 'this'.
