Using this thread as an example, "nails on a chalkboard" is trendy and overused.

I was actually going to mention that at some point all in good natured fun though

No phrases annoy me. I can't believe the use of any phrase gets people so worked up that they are annoyed.

"Throwing Shade" or "Woke". If anyone says either I just assume they are an idiot incapable of complex thought.

Chalkboards aren't trendy any more -- with the dry-erase boards, do kids these days even know what a chalkboard is?

A niece thought she was being cool to say her family is "dope." I know she was trying to be complimentary, but she just came across as stupid.

Shade - because my daughter says it about 100 times a day. I think any word that I have to hear that many times is gonna make my list.

Another vote for "And.... go!" I will not respond if that is how you end your request.
Bae might be my least favorite word ever. DD15 used to use it a lot, and I'm glad it's on it's way out.
It is what it is. I had a friend on FB who would end everything she posted with that statement. Then she started just putting IIWII. That bugged me even more so I unfollowed her. She also capitalizes the first letter of every word she types, and that drives me bonkers.
Same. That's DD's new overused word. Instead of "Me, too!", "Same!" Ick. I hope that one gets done soon.

I'm not a fan of skedattle or doggie bag.

Believe it

Another one that I just thought of:

"Spicy"

I am half enjoying, half cringing at all of these. And, of course, getting a good chuckle

 

[ibob52]

no worries ...

Articles that have throwing shade, broke the internet, so an so just slammed so and so in the title.

 

[Jaspers]

But for some Netflix and Chill is very pleasant. lol

I know! A part of me just wanted to see how many people would shoot me in the leg for saying how I feel about it.

 

[ronandannette]

This made me laugh and think of the phrase "remember as kid when you thought 30 was old! ". Obviously "50" must be your "old"..... lol.

And now that I'm 50(ish) it's actually 70 that's old!

How do you feel about "spilling some tea" or "the tea is good"?

Not sure...tell me what they mean and I'll tell you how I feel about them.

In our family, it is "To make a short story long..".

At least they're honest. Usually by the time somebody says "to make a long story short" it's already waaaay too late.

Gossip=tea
"Oh she spilled the tea!"
"This tea is good!"
"I'll just be over here sipping the tea."

Oh, OK then. I don't like those terms. I hate gossip. I die a little every time somebody says to me "So go on - dish."

Ru Paul's Drag Race is where I learn a lot of expressions which I normally wouldn't come across. Like the one I was stalked and bullied here for...

That's where I first heard tea, shade and fishy etc years ago.

I would generally say that 'annoy' < 'worked up'. You can be annoyed with things without coming close to being worked up over it, IMO.
