    The pedant's group calls themselves Pendants-R-Us to acknowledge their similarity to dead albatrosses.

    Having to present programs to audiences at 8:50 a.m. Coffee makes it barely possible, but not pleasurable.

    Or the Tiktoks/IG reels where it's not even a substantive reaction, it's just some annoying guy kind of laughing at another video that you'd rather watch by itself.

    Sleeves that are too long. They drive me nuts. Gotta have the wrists uncovered.

    The phrase "take away," as in, "The take away from this (debate/interview/lecture) is..." This afternoon I heard it used three times in 45 minutes on NPR, which I am losing patience with anyway.

    Men and women not dressed for the same seasons in the same scenes. Example: man in Jean's, t-shirt, over shirt, and jacket. Woman in short shorts, tank top, and heels.

    Yes. I can just about cope with (and see the point of to an extent) reaction videos to new films/tv shows/computer games, but it’s these ‘[insert name] reacts to hearing Careless Whisper for the first time’ that I don’t get.

    That phrase only means one thing to me - a Chinese meal.

    Same with 'unpack' to examine an issue.

    I believe I ranted about "unpack" in an earlier post.

    No doubt the take away is I should upack the reasons why these phrases bug the daylights out of me.

    Bought a BLT (bacon, lettuce and tomato) sandwich for breakfast this morning.

    Discovered it had cabbage in it, not lettuce.

    How can you not know the difference?!?!?!

    I dunno about TikTok, but I love reaction videos on Youtube, but mainly when it's people from one culture reactng to something from another culture.

    I find it fascinating to watch, for example, Pakistani tribesmen react to things that we find perfectly normal in the West. The cast of one of the channels I've been watching think we put cheese in everything.

    Cheese on everything, especially if it is specifically a Keto recipe. Seriously? When you are limited to 2oz a day, it's ridiculous.
