What is a word that just makes you...

It's not even a bad word. It's just a word that sounds icky, squicky, or like nails on the chalkboard of your mind.

For me it's flesh. 😬

🫵 Your turn!

@Heather225 The use of the word, ‘literally’ for emphasis when its literally not at all literal. 

Making a statement but ending it with a question mark for verification?

I am literally guilty of both but it still annoys me?

@LifeShouldNotBeThisHard Yes on the first one. Or "hard agree" as the kids say. When did "literal" start to have the opposite meaning? 🤦🏼‍♂️ It's like looking at a blue sky & saying "wow, this is so crimson!"... Clear speaking was already a dying art. Then the Internet emerged in the 90's & inflicted a mortal blow. I don't want to know what American English will sound like 30 years from now.

Most slang just sounds cringey. It also doesn’t make any sense either lol

In 30 years I imagine it will be Skibidi BORG Ohio.

My daughter loves to say gelatinous while laughing and then watch me shudder! It’s the funniest thing to me
