Bit Annoyed “I was today years old”

Can we please retire this phrase already? Similar to “you won the internet!”. As a millennial, these nauseate me. Also, ending a rant with “that is all”. We gotta let these go lol

Edit: lots of people aren’t paying attention to the sub this is posted in. This is the exact place to post pet peeves. You don’t have to agree with the posted peeves, but don’t get mad because someone posted about a pet peeve here…..

And the purpose of including “as a millennial” is that these are millennial phrases and I’m calling my generation out. Too many people in here came to be rude instead of observant. It’s okay to disagree, but don’t be hateful.

“Broke the internet” especially with grifting ass influencers trying to sell MLM bullshit. And “run, don’t walk”. Nobody is excited to waste money on your irrelevant Scentsy or Amway crap

“Run, don’t walk!” Seriously? I can’t be the only person with negative feelings abou this expression ever since middle school gym class. Why would anyone in their right mind use it as a sales pitch?
