Goated
GOAT

Both of those are fucking stupid and redundant as apparently everything except a goat is the GOAT

Cool or good isn't enough, people want to call things "fire" e.g. "Master of Puppets is total fire though" - again sounds stupid.

Not gonna lie. (or "ngl" since these people are hard up for time and need to save it by abbreviating everything)

He/She is a baddie.

Calling a girl "shorty"

No Cap

Rizz

I get that most slang is silly but these for some reason are fucking annoying on top. Maybe it's because its parroted back and forth all over the internet so overexposure is making it more annoying than it needs to be.

In the drug world, especially for heroin or fentanyl that word gets used way too much. "OH dude this stuff is fire. You'd better be careful!" Then it usually isn't even very good. Actually in that case it actually makes sense because if it isn't good then you got burned. You know...like how fire burns you. Get it? Get it?

Oh god, that one is so fucking stupid. It's obvious that somebody got "showed up" and "turned out" mixed up, which is a huge pet peeve of mine, and decided to take their lack of articulation and just create a new elite level of retarded. Like somebody pretending "rocket surgery" is a real thing.

'In my wheelhouse...'

'Not on my bingo card...'

Also, the word 'cringe' is a fucking verb, not a noun or an adjective.

I was waiting for someone to call this one out.

I will now add people that start comments with "Imagine." Like in response to an article about Sebastian Bach talking about no Skid Row reunion, "Imagine being an insufferable band mate and complaining nobody wants to work with you." Why do we have to imagine that?? It's WHAT IS HAPPENING.

It’s probably not a really trendy one. But if anyone uses “Team work makes the dream work”, i want to punch them in the face.

The “because” thing is also super annoying. Example: I hate the modern NBA. Because LeBron.

1. "(fill in the location) Strong."

2. All my life, I've said, "Thanks, I appreciate it."
I don't say it anymore because the masses are now saying, "I appreciate YOU."

3. Even TV newscasters are now replacing the letters "T" and "D" with an "EH" sound.....such as, "impor-ent (important), mou-ehn (mountain), etc. I suppose it got started with, "Oh no you di-ehnt"

Apologies if it has been mentioned and also it doesn't really bother me, but "back in the day" is pretty overused.

Another lame one is "is there anything in the vehicle that I should know about?" It's like don't fuckin' worry about it sir! Also, keep your goddamn hands to yourself and you won't have to worry about getting poked, stabbed, or hurt. I'm not out here trying to go through your pockets so leave mine alone.

I thought it was just me that heard this. When the living F@ck did this become normal. The the other terms are juat annoying, but this makes you sound like a bratty child

How about, "What are you arresting me for? I didn't do NOTHING."

When someone is 'cooking'. It's nowadays used even in sports commentary.
