We've all seen it. You know the trend. It goes like this: What is the word or phrase you just can't stand?- This, in many variations, has flooded social media.

Many of us use these words and phrases, and they hold a completely different meaning than those throwing hate at them. For some, it's part of their upbringing; for others, it's a form of fitting in, and for others, it may be cultural. But the truth is that no matter what our opinion is or how much we complain, people are going to say what they want to say. Our opinion is just that, an opinion. For this reason, I compiled a list in nontraditional form. Maybe it will change your view of those who say them, or maybe it will just amuse you. Either way, please enjoy.


So I was thinking about the different words and phrases people use that others feel is so cringe. To be honest, I don't get why it has to turn literally so savage. Like, what's the big deal? To be fair, I don't like being called bruh, but dude, I'm just saying it's not like it triggers me. I just say whatever and move on.

Irregardless, I feel like we all need to think outside the box of our own vocabulary. Even if it sounds cray cray to us, at the end of the day, we all just want to live our best lives and be the best versions of ourselves.

The next time we hear these phrases, let's take a step back and realize we are not grammar nazis. You may not think it's on fleek, but it makes them happy. Put it this way, it is what it is. You can't change it. So suck it up, buttercup, most of those are not going anywhere soon.


The above "list" includes twenty-three common words and phrases that irk people. Perhaps I've inadvertently included more -Whatever, It is what it is.
