What is some of your Pet Peeve's

[WinterDeere]

Why is it the younger generation can not complete a sentence with out saying "like" four or five times.

I'm not sure that's new, though. I remember the same phenomenon when I was in school, in the 1980's!

The one that's new is "feel" or "feel like". We didn't "feel like" someone was an a-hole in the 80's, we knew they were.

How about bro?
I use it a lot, I’m 78 bro!

Bro ~ Don't even go there Bro ... If I ever say Bro, slap me

I think that's a modern management "feel good" term.
I agree it sounds fake and hollow. I think something more specific and deserved would be better received.... Like "I appreciate how you handled that problem".

It's short for I appreciate 'whatever you are doing'. I have heard this from my southern clients for many years. It was only in the south but has spread in popularity.

A peeve is a restaurant, nice meal, then next booth or table over people start talking medical talk. "Marge had bloody diarrea. That's when they found colon cancer had spread all over".
