Most Annoying Things People Say That They Think Are Cool

Hate this phrase! Whatever happened to pointing out someone's confidence or coolness, not swag? It sounds stupid and is one of the most irritating words in the English language. With this and YOLO being really popular nowadays, it makes me think that perhaps Newspeak isn't such a bad idea after all.

Swag - Merriam-Webster Definition
- an idiotic word that makes an idiot sound more foolish
- illegal loot

Make this word illegal! We teens don't have swag. We have homework! And swag doesn't mean you smoke weed like a hillbilly jackass! Set your priorities straight!

I was in the auditorium at school and the teachers were explaining something. All of a sudden, this kid got up and screamed YOLO halfway through!

You made this word popular and dumbed down the English language in the process.

Dumbest slang word ever. I'm so glad its popularity decreased over the years.

Use it in texts, not in real-life conversations because Oh My God has the same number of syllables.

Every word in "Oh My God" is one syllable, so it's not really an abbreviation.

Look, the hashtag is pretty much everywhere. You see it on ads for backpacks, bowling alleys, restaurants, drinks, and news sites. You also see it on protests, organizations, and meme contests. I'm also starting to notice that even merchandise for children is getting into the act.

When people try to say, for example, "#whatever," it makes others unsure if the person is obsessed with social media, especially if the person saying hashtags is a girl. We need to get rid of the hashtag. It's resulting in public fatigue.

It makes sense if said online where you can't actually hear someone laugh. Saying it in person, though, is annoying.

It is brutally annoying. It turns me off in a conversation. I usually ignore them because they don't sound intelligent.

Boy, do I hate that abbreviation. In fact, I loathe it because of its fanatical support for humor. And I'm not a humorous person. Hell, I hate funny things and funny people.

If I had my own website and noticed "LOL" posted on it, I'd delete it and ban whoever posted it.

Random user on YouTube: Who made YouTube?
The annoying user: Your mom!
Random user on YouTube: Thanks! I'll go tell my mom!
(Goes to mom)
Random user on YouTube: Mom, did you make YouTube?
Random user on YouTube's mom: No, I don't even know what this "YouTube" is.

People say this all the time. Here's something they say: "Bill Nye, your mom's a guy!" Or, when you ask a question like "Who?" they say, "Your mom." That's getting old.

What is the actual point or meaning of this? And what if someone's mom is dead? Whoever started this is going to slowly start an anarchy.

Old people are always saying this when they try to be funny. Plus, people try to make an unfunny joke out of this when a door is open.

I'm getting quite bored of this joke. It's terrible and not even good.

Aaaand anotha one! And anotha one!
Nobody at my school will stop saying this! AGH!

I personally don't think this is funny, but you have to understand the context and meaning of the joke to get it.

It was funny at first, but now it's so overused that even jokes about serious topics seem funnier than this.

But The Office made it ironically funny again.

The only people who say this are 20-year-olds trying to stay hip and stylish.

I don't think this is a cool thing to say, I just like saying it.

I had no idea what this word meant at first and got berated by my sister for a while, first because she thought I was joking, and then because she was shocked I didn't know. Quite frankly, it's an idiotic phrase that's short for friend or lover, but it's clearly designed for people who find those words too hard to say.

And if it is Danish for poop, how fitting - because it is a stain on the English language.

I've never liked this word either. I didn't even know what it meant until now. Poop in Danish? Really?! This word probably means something else in trends, but seriously, why does it exist?

It's still a terrible thing to say, even if it's become cliché.

It's not frequently used these days.

This comes from Rocky Horror Picture Show and Shock Treatment, so it's cool to us.

Yes, this is cool. It's from Rocky Horror and Shock Treatment. So it's cool.

SpongeBob and Peppa Pig, anyone? That little fish and Daddy Pig said that!

Try saying this consistently to someone you hate, and it will drive them insane!

It's annoying when people say it for no reason. There's this kid in my school who used to say "bruh" to me for no reason and then do a stupid laugh.
