I've long realized that my brain doesn't necessarily work quite normally in some area's, and wondered if maybe others share this same problem. I find that some slang terms really annoy me...like to the point of extreme irritational anger. No real rhyme or reason to it either. Sammich? Sounds retarded. Song dog? Retarded. Speed goat, ditch donkey etc, same. Catsup? Yeah I know its not necessarily slang but still trips the little switch in my brain. The latest and worst is "the jab". I don't really GAF about the actual vaccine and it's surrounding propaganda, but that term makes me want to do crime. Even worse is "double jab"....like somehow everyone using stupid slang terms for it makes it cool or something. I dunno, it doesn't make any sense but there it is.

Oh, and buttons. I hate buttons. Buttons are gross looking, stupid shiny little plastic or metal discs. Alot of the time they aren't even necessary or functional but added for some sort of decoration! Makes my skin crawl just thinking about them. I'm not weird, your weird! That is all.

A ton of people, especially women, under the age of 40 uses the word "perfect" as a catch all universal reply to just about anything. Are you going to pay cash or charge for that? Cash. "Perfect". Are you coming in to work tomorrow? Yes. "Perfect". Do you want fries with that? Yes. "Perfect". Kind of a pet peeve of mine.

Slang used for effect can be funny. Slang due to laziness gets annoying.

Yep, most of it annoys the heck outa me. Another one that wears me slick is everyone thinking they should insert the F word or wtf into about every other sentence or thought. I guess they think it adds emphasis.

The way most younger folk misuse the word literal, gets under my skin.

Them: laughed so hard I literally died.

Me: You managed to recover!

Them: Huh?

How about starting every reply with "honestly"?

Them: "Honestly, blah, blah, blah."
Me: "No please lie to me".

I don't mind the slang but I hate the alphabets, especially when it refers to technology. Most of the time when I look up something technical online, I have spend much more time trying to figure out what the alphabetic terms are referring to.

I don't generally worry about things I have no chance of controlling. What other people say and how they choose to say it isn't on my list of annoyances. I must admit that just about anything Nancy Pelosi or Chuckie Schumer says is pretty annoying.

Different business's have their jargon.

"The boys are picking them green."

A Peoria commission man telling me cattle feeders are selling fat cattle at a lighter weight to get in on high prices.

"That steer strongly resembles his father."
A stag.

I don't even know what "song dog", "speed goat", or "ditch donkey" are.


"The jab" originated as a term to use to use in lieu of "the shot", or "vaccine", etc. in order to try to get around the censor programming on facebook and other websites.

I will say that in general, modern slang and cutesy phrases irritate the living hell out of me.
