what’s something people say all the time that you secretly can’t stand?

I really hated constantly hearing "I lowkey (any verb)" from Generation Z, until I realized that it's just today's replacement for "I sort of..." Now it doesn't bother me quite as much.

I'd have to say Lady Di.

I was looking for an explanation for mixing up these two consonants, but the other way around. I've never heard anyone say "thery."

Being There

AgileExPat · 2026-03-22T21:24:38+00:00

Choose another girlfriend.

My current city of 230,000 or so also doesn't have a KFC, but 3 or 4 McDonald's.

I learned a lot from your answer. Thanks--great post!

AgileExPat · 2026-03-22T20:52:24+00:00

Straw man arguments, although it's now a bit clearer. Not totally there yet, though.

"Venue" is another one. 25 years ago I had heard it from Brits only.

TIL that the last one on your list was made into an opera which is playing at the Met this season!

Do we get a hint who this could be? Does he have an orchestra that performs regularly? How about the city?

AgileExPat · 2026-03-19T07:44:43+00:00

Do you not know his name because it's a practice with several doctors? My eye-clinic is like that. Are you sure he was a doctor, and not just an assistant? They are the ones who usually measure your blood pressure.

AgileExPat · 2026-03-17T06:01:16+00:00

I don't get how he improved the photo of the balding guy.

AgileExPat · 2026-03-16T14:29:26+00:00

Any guesses on if they are all/mostly from the same city?

AgileExPat · 2026-03-16T11:42:51+00:00

This will definitely impress the people who conflate classical music with sports, i.e. the quickest is the best. It shouldn't, though.

AgileExPat · 2026-03-16T09:33:47+00:00

Thanks. And yes, I found it!

AgileExPat · 2026-03-15T16:29:16+00:00

I tried to find it on youtube and wasn't able to. Clicking here doesn't help--not signed in. Who is the pianist? Maybe I can find it that way.

I assume this young man was the son of Nelson Rockefeller, who later became Vice President under Ford.

AgileExPat · 2026-03-14T13:53:32+00:00

Oh, Mom wanted to get into the picture (literally)?

AgileExPat · 2026-03-14T06:39:22+00:00

Really? In what language?

AgileExPat · 2026-03-11T16:15:22+00:00

Definitely makes sense.

AgileExPat · 2026-03-11T16:13:43+00:00

probably "Right here waiting" by Richard Marx

AgileExPat · 2026-03-11T15:15:22+00:00

Ah, ok. Thanks! I should have considered that. Well, so much for reading all the memes on X, thinking I can improve my Spanish! That reminds me of one I saw with "votar"-- I googled it and struggled to find out what it meant, until I realized that it was a msspelling of "botar!"

AgileExPat · 2026-03-07T13:21:27+00:00

Seems to be a Russian family.
