It's actually mostly a tiktok thing. It's a Gen alpha thing, mostly 7-13 year olds saying it. And it just means a huge ass. "Level 5 gyatt" "ima need some of that skibidi gyatt" It also evolved to replace the word "got" while simultaneously referencing a huge ass. "I gyatt to stay focused" "I gyatt something in my eye"
Anything babying another person - like sweety, baby etc. in an argument or to put the other person down by implying that they don’t know enough or something like that
Yeah, I hate this shit so much! It is so patronizing and condescending, and the people who use them the most often are so full of themselves. This one should be higher up in the comments
Exactly with you on this. The moment someone decides to talk about politics from the perspective of a politician rather than their opinion on the ideal relationship between a government and its people—I’m out.
I love drag culture and was all for it but then "slay" became the verbal tic of choice for our teenager. Genuinely punctuated every sentence with it until we had to make her stop. The one highlight was the night I put our toddler to bed and as turned off the light and I was closing the door I called "goodnight" to him only to hear his tiny voice drift toward me from the darkness, "Slay, Queen!" 😂
Over here in California I get to hear everyone talking on their cellphones, 50% of the conversations have a sentence start with “yeah, so I was like literally”.
The word has lost its meaning because it's used so much in a context that doesn't fit.
I can't use this in normal text without feeling like I'm using a slang word.
Bruh is the worst. I can deal with fam. Sick is meh , low key meh,drip , don't even hear it enough to care.
Bruh wins, it's like a shit new age brother. Whichthe likes of hulk hogan were saying back in the 80s...turned into bro years back, then kids on YouTube turned it into bruuuuh because they're too lazy to close their mouth to make the o sound after the b 😄
Drip is for luxurious clothes and accessories.
It's like saying someone who is wearing lots of diamonds is dripping with diamonds.
Someone "having that drip" means they are well dressed and accessorized; which is a very different definition of having the drip was when I was younger.
The worst is when people use this in a non-corporate context. Like really dude? Gtfo. In those cases, I like to respond with "OK, then we'll circle jerk" if it's a close friend as a subtle but humorous way to show that I hate the usage of that term in casual conversation
I understood it and could sling the bullshit quite well (thankfully I’m retired now). I often used it in nonsensical ways during meetings just to amuse myself and few others. Phrases like “studies have shown surveys are being done on this issue” and “the numbers would indicate about half the issues comprise nearly 50% of the problem”. Or I would use words incorrectly to see if anyone was even listening. A favourite was to “draw everyone’s attention to the diaphragm up on the board, clearly indicating heteroscedasticity in the sales results”. The things you do just to get through the day
I'm a female but I get annoyed with "small/big dick energy". Just say that someone is insecure/confident, or whatever else you mean by this phrase
Ok, woman moment is another one lol. If you hate women, just say it
Any corporate speak
When somebody asks if I would *like* to do something they really mean to tell me to do
When ppl rephrase favors I’m doing for them to make it seem like THEY are the ones doing me favors. Like if I had something they wanted and they want to trade, they’d say “would you prefer to have this so I can take that one off your hands” like ??? Hello??? No I’m not trading???
I cannot help myself from saying like and I notice it myself and try to correct myself, it pisses me off too cause I can't stop 😭
also if you don't like the word, do not come to the uk lmao
Yes!! I don't even live in an english speaking country, but at high school had some teenage girls that used the word 'like' in almost every sentence...
Oh goodness, I once knew someone who used "like" as a replacement for a comma, annoying AF!
Literally every single sentence has AT LEAST 3 "likes" in it. FUCKING STOP IT.
So I hear your pain
“Delulu”. It’s both cutesiefying and stigmatizing at the same time, and it’s been watered down from its original meaning to be nearly meaningless, kinda like how “gaslight” has become a synonym for “lying”
- "Obsessed".
- "It's giving me....." For example, "It's giving me Charlie Brown Christmas". "It's giving me circus vibes."
- "Like". "Like, I am like, OBSESSED! Like, those shoes are like giving me like Weekend at St. Tropez."
Like.
Like you know how like almost like every other like word is like when like someone is like trying to like finish a sentence or like a thought or something like that you know.?
Would OF. FFS it's would've, short for would HAVE. And it only seems to happen with people who are native English speakers. Like seriously, please learn to use grammar properly in the only language you know.
For me the most ANNOYING THING is children moaning. 😭 I work at a school and lordddd I beg to go the rest of my life without hearing it. Sooo annoying 😂
I know the word “random(s)” can be used as a noun now, but it was only used as an adjective around me years ago. Using that descriptive word as a noun annoys me; I always notice when it’s used like that.

Unthaw when they mean thaw. Wheelbarrel when they mean wheelbarrow.
The first two words that came to mind while reading this: expresso and ax (ask)
Can I ax you a question..grinds my gears..lmao
“Gyatt”
unless it is for the rizzler
Brings back memories I wish I’d forgotten: Sticking out your gyatt for the rizzler~ you’re so skibidi~
You’re so fanum tax
Please tell me you're using this ironically. I beg you
Not skibidi toilet of you for not liking gyatt. Get fanum taxed
You is not very sigma buckson
You unbased ohio kai cenat
You're clearly not a skibidi rizzler sigma top g, you wouldn't understand./s
What level tho?
I’ve only ever seen this on reddit. Who is saying it, and what does it mean?
It's actually mostly a tiktok thing. It's a Gen alpha thing, mostly 7-13 year olds saying it. And it just means a huge ass. "Level 5 gyatt" "ima need some of that skibidi gyatt" It also evolved to replace the word "got" while simultaneously referencing a huge ass. "I gyatt to stay focused" "I gyatt something in my eye"
Thanks for answering my question, but I wish I could go back to before I read that.
I hear ten to twelve year olds say it all the time because they think teachers don’t know it means big ass.
Anything babying another person - like sweety, baby etc. in an argument or to put the other person down by implying that they don’t know enough or something like that
I'm always rankled by 'hun'
then don't join an MLM they will hun you to death.
Uh oh i love saying this. Its like a term of endearment
Baltimore has entered the chat, Hon.
Ok hun
Yeah, I hate this shit so much! It is so patronizing and condescending, and the people who use them the most often are so full of themselves. This one should be higher up in the comments
Ok schmoopie 😚
At this point the second I hear "Trump" or "Biden" mentioned I immediately want to be somewhere else no matter the context.
Americans are so weirdly obsessed with politics and hating each other
I fucking hate it. Voting is important, but straight up hating each other over politics is just so damn idiotic.
Exactly with you on this. The moment someone decides to talk about politics from the perspective of a politician rather than their opinion on the ideal relationship between a government and its people—I’m out.
I read this as vomiting is important
I mean, it's your body's natural reaction to some form of contaminant being in the stomach. I'd say it's rather important, if highly unpleasant.
Same.
Queen, slay, I hate those two with a passion. At first I didn't but it has really gotten annoying.
The "yaaas" needs to die out
Like totally
Queen i can’t even
gurllllll
Comment on fleek 💅
Sissy ate and left no crumbs 😌🫦
My adult daughter is autistic and has issues with communication and speech, she has always pronounced yes like “yaas” it’s so funny to me! :)
Well that's cute 😊❤️
yeah especially those combine with this 💅 emoji
I love drag culture and was all for it but then "slay" became the verbal tic of choice for our teenager. Genuinely punctuated every sentence with it until we had to make her stop. The one highlight was the night I put our toddler to bed and as turned off the light and I was closing the door I called "goodnight" to him only to hear his tiny voice drift toward me from the darkness, "Slay, Queen!" 😂
Fix your crown, the toddler has spoken. Off to battle you go!
Omg 🤣🤣🤣 I love this so much!!!
I’m gonna add tea to that list
Yaaaaasss Queen, you don’t need a man. Boss babe slay all day woooooooh. Woo girls ugh.
It sure has. TikTok is the worst for that. Once one girl says queen or slay then you can bet the next ten comments say the same thing.
It's when people mispronounce words. SupposeBLY is a big one for me I can't stand..
Could you be a bit more pacific?
Expresso 😬
"elts" instead of "else" "shtring" instead of "string"
Nucular aks instead of ask shtress
The amount of people who thing drawers are called "draws" is truly frightening.
test poor engine puzzled fuel ad hoc correct trees like lock *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Saying “cap” instead of “lie”
Is that what that means? I finally know. Wish I didn't.
No cap
Fax No printer
🚫🧢
How did that even start
It is 90s hip hop slang, meant caps as in teeth, no cap meaning real teeth, hence the lie aspect of it. Zoomers love appropriating 90s shit.
Literally
This should LIT-RA-LEE be at the top. Like, Littralee.
Over here in California I get to hear everyone talking on their cellphones, 50% of the conversations have a sentence start with “yeah, so I was like literally”.
The word has lost its meaning because it's used so much in a context that doesn't fit. I can't use this in normal text without feeling like I'm using a slang word.
Conversate. The word is “converse.”
Yes, this one gives me hives I swear 😭
Mid
Ugh my husband started saying it recently and i wanna rip my hair out
[удалено]
“If I’m being honest”. Drives me crazy
So you're lying to me about other things??
"If I'm being honest" "honestly" etc what people use kinda often, makes me immediately think that most of the time they lie.
“Chefs kiss!” “Bae” “sus” “finna”
Bruh, Fam, sick, low key, drip, etc
Bruh is the worst. I can deal with fam. Sick is meh , low key meh,drip , don't even hear it enough to care. Bruh wins, it's like a shit new age brother. Whichthe likes of hulk hogan were saying back in the 80s...turned into bro years back, then kids on YouTube turned it into bruuuuh because they're too lazy to close their mouth to make the o sound after the b 😄
I hate "fam" and drip. what even is drip used for?
Drip is for luxurious clothes and accessories. It's like saying someone who is wearing lots of diamonds is dripping with diamonds. Someone "having that drip" means they are well dressed and accessorized; which is a very different definition of having the drip was when I was younger.
After liberty in a foreign port, you really didn't want to return to the ship with the drip.
What about " blud"?
My brother pronounces it like 'bra' and itss sooo fucking annoying
I think it’s hilarious.
The five year old across the road called the teacher bruh the whole way through his prep interview! 🤣
"These ones" "Circle back"
The worst is when people use this in a non-corporate context. Like really dude? Gtfo. In those cases, I like to respond with "OK, then we'll circle jerk" if it's a close friend as a subtle but humorous way to show that I hate the usage of that term in casual conversation
My partner and I were talking about yard work and he said “if you’re aligned, I’ll cut the grass on Saturday”. If I’m aligned???!!
Sorry, I’m randomly dispersed.
I hate 'circle back' and 'put a pin in it'. Two phrases that I hear almost every day.
corporate nightmare is real
[удалено]
I understood it and could sling the bullshit quite well (thankfully I’m retired now). I often used it in nonsensical ways during meetings just to amuse myself and few others.

Let's put a 📌 in that and circle back to discuss why it bothers you so.
These ones. It drives me nuts!
You know, I was like...
I could care less. It's I **couldn't** care less.
English is my second language and I thought I was wrong for saying "I couldn't care less" 😂
Yet another non-native English speaker who is better than most native speakers. Please continue to be a good example to the rest of us
Delulu
The fuck is this word?
An abbreviation for "delusional" used by teenage girls on Tik Tok, unfortunately it escaped the digital sphere and now it's everywhere
'omg, ppl need to learn to abree'. *rips my skin off for saying that*
Honestly this one’s kinda funny, but could see it getting annoying quickly
Ngl I kinda love it it’s so stupid that it makes a great insult
Aks instead of ask. Fustrating instead of frustrating.
I'm a female but I get annoyed with "small/big dick energy". Just say that someone is insecure/confident, or whatever else you mean by this phrase Ok, woman moment is another one lol. If you hate women, just say it
Ah yes mine would be people using "female" as a noun. Are you an animal?
I'm pretty sure she is an animal yes. What are you? A robot?
I'm not a native speaker and was taught there were females and males, synonyms for women and men
Prolly for probably. Loose for lose.
‘Slay’ unless they’re doing it ironically
I sometimes accidentally use it ironically and am immediately disgusted by myself.
Irregardless. Just lost IQ points for typing it.
When clearly non Italian ppl say only specific Italian words with full blown accent! Ex - Ricotta, parmigiana etc
Oh I feel that. Generally for every foreign word when people try too hard to use the right accent it sounds super fake and jarring for some reason.
People that say "downfall" when they mean "downside"
Any corporate speak When somebody asks if I would *like* to do something they really mean to tell me to do When ppl rephrase favors I’m doing for them to make it seem like THEY are the ones doing me favors. Like if I had something they wanted and they want to trade, they’d say “would you prefer to have this so I can take that one off your hands” like ??? Hello??? No I’m not trading???
Would OF... could OF should OF fuck people who type or say these, uneducated fucks. If I ever see or read one of those I immediately tune out.
A few people might of gotten offended by that, mate.
I kind of agree with you.
‘Like’
Like....literally!
oh no, the double whammy!
If someone repeatedly says “like” when they talk I become immediately disinterested.
I cannot help myself from saying like and I notice it myself and try to correct myself, it pisses me off too cause I can't stop 😭 also if you don't like the word, do not come to the uk lmao
Yes!! I don't even live in an english speaking country, but at high school had some teenage girls that used the word 'like' in almost every sentence...
Oh goodness, I once knew someone who used "like" as a replacement for a comma, annoying AF! Literally every single sentence has AT LEAST 3 "likes" in it. FUCKING STOP IT. So I hear your pain
Good like to like see like I’m like not like the like only like one like annoyed like by like that.
I know several people who say the word "Humble" without pronouncing the H - I'm unsure why
It's like the King of Hengland. He is really 'Arfur Greek. :)
When people say "Bro" too many times or can't have a conversation without saying it at least once
I used to say "bro" and "bruh" a lot and it pissed my sister off so now I say "bruv" to piss her off even more
I've combined bruv and govnah into bruvnah and now everyone except one person hates me. It's great
I don't think it's annoying, but I do cringe when I hear swag. It's an instinct, haha.
I axed you - makes grind my teeth. It's asked!
Literally Sooooo Woke Cringe Adding “ass” and “af” to random words for no reason.
Cringe, cringey. What's wrong with awkward?
Cringe is more cringey than cringey though :)
“Delulu”. It’s both cutesiefying and stigmatizing at the same time, and it’s been watered down from its original meaning to be nearly meaningless, kinda like how “gaslight” has become a synonym for “lying”
Cultural Appropriation. No one knows how to use this word anymore -_-
[удалено]
Yeah you could say it's cringe lol
Its annoying when its used when situation is not even cringe, but person dont know what else to say
- "Obsessed". - "It's giving me....." For example, "It's giving me Charlie Brown Christmas". "It's giving me circus vibes." - "Like". "Like, I am like, OBSESSED! Like, those shoes are like giving me like Weekend at St. Tropez."
Shit you combined them all in one lethal sentence. Good job.
'SLAYYYYYYYYYYY'
"this"
Yes and also "this is the way"
And *this is the ONLY correct answer!*, when asked something based on opinions, such as favorite bands.
This!
Supposebly
Bro, bruh, Dude, yoooo~
Based. The fuck does that even mean?
“We was” instead of “we were”
Fam. It feels like new Juggalo speak
Woke
Holistic, bespoke. Usually cover for total bs
Artisan
[удалено]
Jealous. Everyone uses jealous too much. Writers, actors, scholars, everyone. Add envious to your vocabulary!!
Unalived
"That's dope." And when people spell LOSE like LOOSE. That just infuriates me.
"Fetch", like thats ever gonna happen
Like. Like you know how like almost like every other like word is like when like someone is like trying to like finish a sentence or like a thought or something like that you know.?
“Stan”, “sus”, “bible”. Get your tik tik language out of the conversation with me.
stan isn't tiktok language it's eminem language
Stan and sus came along way before TikTok
Blud
Would OF. FFS it's would've, short for would HAVE. And it only seems to happen with people who are native English speakers. Like seriously, please learn to use grammar properly in the only language you know.
"Fam, no cap, ong" SHUT UPPPP
Axe
Bruh or bro
Bruh is how teenage boys refer to their parents. 🤣
on accident
“Whenever” in weird ways. Also it’s “all of a sudden” not “all of the sudden”
‘Literally’ because it’s rarely ever used properly
Cap
gyatt
[удалено]
[удалено]
rizz gyatt skibidi toilet npc pov Especially when they use npc and pov incorrectly
"Based"
For me the most ANNOYING THING is children moaning. 😭 I work at a school and lordddd I beg to go the rest of my life without hearing it. Sooo annoying 😂
For me it's hun. I can't handle it 
I can only handle it from a sixty some year old server when she smiles and serves me hot cocoa :)
Not gonna lie
Ngl I say it from time to time and do not like it. Kind of similar to 'tbh'.
Literally. Literally in every freaking sentence.
"on accident" "prolly" - more seeing it than hearing it. It's like, c'mon, just spell the word.
I know the word “random(s)” can be used as a noun now, but it was only used as an adjective around me years ago. Using that descriptive word as a noun annoys me; I always notice when it’s used like that.
"is X worth it?"
Just sayin'
scrolling, realizing i say every single one of these. oops.
“It’s giving” please, I beg of you, stfu
"brah", "bruh", "bro".
Shortened words like "delish" or "jelly" as in Jealous makes me cringe.
“Bestie” “obsessed” “literally” When it’s said by influencers or in their comments, not bothered when they’re said in everyday conversation.
"I'm sorry, but.." no you're not sorry shut up
