Please don’t think I’m here to complain about rizz or skibidi toilet etc. Thats all fine by me.

The term I dislike strongly is ‘eeeh’ before you make a statement disagreeing with someone. (This is over text only). Now maybe I’ve been pavloved bc it’s always used by someone disagreeing. But I’m happy with people disagreeing with me normally its just the ‘eeeh’ or ‘erm’ that annoys me.

So what’s a random term that annoys you?

PS. Saying “eeeh actually ‘eeh’ is a perfectly fine term” would be a ridiculously easy joke and I will judge you for making it. And I know atleast one person will. Especially bow that I’ve said all this.

    The latter might have had a resurgence because of GoT, but I definitely heard the phrase before the show came out. I had to look it up to make sure, but it’s origins go back to the 1800s.

      Nah it’s origins is a single use in a written poem with a significantly different meaning. Looking at the trends it’s clear that it’s GoT. People just use that poem as their cover, unwilling to accept that their memory is a foreign country

        Aight. I’m glad your anecdotal experience in life is indicative of mine and what I’ve interacted with, seen, and read.

        Iono why I tried interacting with a hex user in the first place. It always seems to end up in derision and self-labeled omniscience.

          Nobody cares about settler anecdotes; not when very recent mass-market slop (I have no respect for A Song of Ice and Fire; especially not after the “Grimdark Low Fantasy that FUCKS”/“fantasy for people who would rather be watching the Sopranos” adaptation) provides a much more likely outcome for why this phrase is back in the zeitgeist than a poem from the 1800s.

          Amerikans don’t read poetry anymore as it is; if they even read at all. Midwesterners, man; I’d rather talk to a full-time coastal elite than some of you crackers

          “Anecdotal evidence” lmao. Yeah bud the historical analysis and the reference to trends are super anecdotal. Sorry for not providing you with leagues of documents in what I thought was a chill civil interaction.

          Aight.

          rage-cry <- You. I cannot imagine getting this butthurt over a casual conversation.

          Iono why I tried interacting with a hex user in the first place. It always seems to end up in derision and self-labeled omniscience.

          If you meet a person who stinks, then you’ve met a person who stinks. If everyone stinks, then you’ve stepped in dogshit - Dalai Llama. The Llama also told you to look inwards and be less of a redditor. Also to drop this weird faux-conversation tone you’ve suddenly adopted in an attempt to appear above it all. He said it’s cringe.

          Anyways here’s the poem with a significantly different meaning of sweet summers child - because of course it is. The meaning of sweet summer child only makes sense within the universe of GoT. https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=mGQSAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA52#v=onepage&q&f=false - It is here referring a lovely breeze, a sweet child of the summer.
          And whoops what’s this? https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=Sweet summer child&hl=da Oh wow would you look at that, it sees a drastic increase alongside the release of the first season of GoT. Odd. Huh. I’d go into the interesting reasons for why the first usage doesn’t line up with the series release or the first book, but you’re being a whiny little pissant so now I’d rather not and hopefully annoy you some more.
          Fuck you

              how you swarm like pirhannas with penis-envy

              Mmmmh, gotta love that Joe Rogan-style shadow leakage event. C’mon, keep going; tell us more about your weird-ass persecution fetish and how it totally gets your rocks hard. Considering the Demiurge cuts all you crackers from the same cloth, can I assume a similarly Rogan-esque fixation on alien probings and stool-humping out of you, too?

              I am happy to see you’ve taken the Dalai Llamas advice and dropped the weird faux-casual tone you attempted before. May this be the first step on your way to enlightenment.

              Like fishing in a barrel with a shotgun.

              > Say something stupid
              > Get called out
              > Heh sure triggered you :smuglord:

              It’s so funny how you swarm like pirhannas with penis-envy when you get called out.

              It’s just me responding to you, and you seem to be the only one talking about being envious of dicks.
              I gotta give you this, you’ve mastered the weird non-sequiteur. This is the second time in a row I’m baffled as to what motivated your strange response.

                  The Dalai Llama says you need to practice your aloof attitude as it is just coming off as being an average cringy redditor yikes-2
                  Either that or get funnier or spend less time thinking of a comeback

      I definitely heard the phrase before the show came out.

      No you absolutely did not, unless you were talking to dorks who started using out-of-context nonsensical phrases from their favorite fantasy book. If you think you heard the term not as a reference to ASOIAF you are misremembering. Its origins do not go back to the 1800s. The term in this context refers to a child who has lived their entire life in the years-long summers of the world of ASOIAF. That is what it means.
