Whassup/what's new

What on earth should I answer to the above when someone I barely know utters one of the above?

"Yeah. By you?"

Nobody notices or cares if you actually answer the question. It's a way of saying hello. (I get why it's annoying tho)

I don't like to grin at random people either, feels weird lol. It also feels very artificial. On a day I am not well, when someone I barely knows asks me 'how are you' and is not genuine, should I stop the person and tell him my woes? A hello is fine by me. Say that and move on. I of course am not a people's person and I detest small talk so this bit is even more annoying.

It's very much a cultural thing. Americans are very big on a big grin and how ya doing, but don't actually mean anything by it. I had a friend from the middle east who would get confused by it - where he was from that meant you were sincerely asking and trying to start a conversation.

Lol I get that. In Europe and Asia it's uncommon.

Remember when "a lot" used to be a good thing?
A lot of hot fudge and berries on that ice cream. A lot of velocity or spin on that serve. A lot of cool folks at that party. A lot of fun. We went on that amusement park ride a lot of times!

Now, it's like..... if someone is a bit difficult, she is "a lot." Or if a day was really jam packed it was....A Lot.
So this "a lot" trend is starting to bug me. A lot.

Worse it’s when they spell it “alot”.

Definitely. I believe when they say it, it is "alot". But i could not bring myself to that spelling. That would OF bin....a lot.

We all have phrases or just things people say that annoy us.

Mine are currently:

- "Reaching out"
I hate getting calls or emails from people claiming they are "reaching out" to see if I need anything. I have never heard anyone use this until the last couple of years. All of a sudden EVERYONE is reaching out or asking me to reach out. All I ever picture is Luke trying to reach his lightsaber in the Wampa cave in the Empire Strikes Back. If you are a salesman and you are cold calling me, this will turn me off within the first ten seconds.

- "It is what it is"
It just seems to be a more eloquent way of saying "whatevs .. I can't do anything about it."

-"Just sayin"
I just said something but I'll add a little bit more to reinforce that I just said something

-"I know, right?"
Is that a cool and hip way to just simply agree?

This room is going off a cliff into a rocky ravine
. Maybe I need to ignite it with more whacky and zany posts
I am the electrical current that flows into the high brain power in this room .
Even Tom is very smart despite the only cloths he wears are used clown costumes from the 80s

Another pet peeve 'too good'. The music was too good. The food was too good. The words 'too' and 'good' together has a negative connotation like 'too good to be true' meaning it's possibly a lie. If its better than good it is great or very good...not 'too good'.

Ha haaa, man, Too Funny!
Kidding.
I used to hear "too good" mostly from gracious male opponents if i hit a winner. I don't hear this much anymore. Ba-dum-tss.

Also, i remember some people used to say, "too cool" as a compliment in the eighties and nineties. That expression hasn't aged well.

"Ameazeng."
"Awesome."

Both have earned the right to be mentioned multiple times per page in this thread. Hall of fame in ths day and age.

"In this day and age."
"All that and a bag of chips."
"The bomb dot com."
The prefix "super". It's become soopar ubiquitous. Super busy, super fun, super super. Super annoyeng.
My wife's cliché-azz friends inspired these last seven entries. They're just..."a lot" sometimes, lol.

I SMH when a person tells an anecdote and the response is, a sincere and impressed sounding, 'okay'. So sterile and phony. Or when "awesome" is used as a transition to another subject. Mhmmm, ahhsum.

I'm feeling like "hilarious" is starting to lose its meaning. Y'all feel meh?

...Okeyyy.

Totally agree here. I hate it when people at work ask "What's going on?" in the hallway. You can either tell them something work related that they won't care about anyway or you can say "Not much" which implies you are a slacker. Not a fan of small talk and I usually say "not much" just to get the conversation ended.

"To be honest with you, ....."

It implies that you aren't normally honest. It's such a bad expression and so often used; people just don't understand what it implies.

I cringe when I hear it.

I did not make spotify premium a priority. I suffer through a few ads. In these ads they use the word, "zen" sometimes.
Zen. That's so not zen. Yet even moar zen than i thought I'd imagined.

I am also going to poke fun that those who overuse random. And specific. Interchangeably. So Ridiculous and ironic in the classical sense. Oh so phreakeng ZeN. Congrats spotify nonpremium!!

The question is why do people get triggered over such trivialities. Or does "triggered" bother you.

I had a boss that always greeted me loudly with "What do you know!?" Dumbest expression ever. I wanted to reply everytime "I know I hate that saying".

I also cant stand when people add "apostrophe's" where they don't belong.

 

[Turbo-87]

I had a boss that always greeted me loudly with "What do you know!?" Dumbest expression ever.

My response to that is, "everything, my man, everything." I learned that from sureshs.

 

[slice bh compliment]

.....my man. My main man!

Usually, i am actually NOT that person's main man.

U da man!

 

[stringertom]

My response to that is, "everything, my man, everything." I learned that from sureshs.

Then stringytom must know almost everything, as evidenced by Sabooshs’ statement a while back that no one on this forum compares to his intellect except for stringytom on occasion.
