Words or phrases that annoy you

[Preston327]

I really, really cannot stand the word "impactful." Its not even a word, it sounds like some BS coined in a corporate motivational seminar.

I also don't understand people who say "rage" instead of "party" but that doesn't bother me so much. I'd just like to know how that came about.

I've never heard of "rage" being used in place of "party" (except in the case of drugs). That doesn't even make sense to me.

A "rager" is used to describe a very intense, loud, busy party a la Animal House.

You "Hey, I hear you are having a party tonight?"
Me "It's not going to be a rager, just a few of us having some drinks"

I've always hated the word supper.

Bleh. That still sounds dumb to me. I am used to hearing about road/roid rage, but I've never heard it in that context before.

MC reminded me of another phrase -- shawty/shorty. We can thank trap music for bringing that to the forefront.

I do like it used here though lol

I can't stand "impact" as a verb. It's a losing battle.
