  • I have a pet peeve around people saying “this.” When they agree with someone. Idk why… I was hoping I wouldn’t see that here but unfortunately it’s cropping up.

    My concern is that and a bunch of other reddit-isms flood the site. I don’t mind redditors coming here but I hope the site can still have its own identity.

    There are a few others:

    • “at least the <inanimate object> is ok” on videos where someone gets hurt
    • “no shoes therefore dead”
    • “some ninja is cutting onions”
    • “sir this is a Wendy’s”
    • Etc.

    I mean this reddit post complaining about annoying phrases came out 9 years ago. 9 YEARS. And since then I continue to see so many of those and others.

    I don’t want to gatekeep either. But certain phrases repeated over and over is just so irritating.
