Or a degree

I'm not familiar with this trend, so it must be a Facebook thing.

I see it mostly for bad memes

SAY IT LOUDER FOR PEOPLE IN THE BACK!!

I dislike this one almost as much as much as handclap emojis in between every word.

"did a thing" is enraging

Almost always a wedding or child birth

Sometimes it's eating food

“Cringe” has been working its way to the top of my list, although paradoxically I can’t think of a better word to describe how I feel about it.

I usually can’t stand “basic”, but it’s also the best adjective for what it applies to. I’ll use it with my wife & thats it.

Man, yep. Quite the conundrum

cringe is a good shortcut for identifying opinions to ignore.

Pretty much. 9/10 when I hear someone use it, it is because they can’t express (or don’t understand themselves) what they don’t like about something, yet they insist on expressing that they feel negatively about it.

Basic is very much not a thing anymore, is been replaced

mid

cringe is very descriptive but it gets overused / misused a lot

I’m sure I’ve posted my hate for this previously; with that being said, “with that being said” is the worst.

[Cartierfor3]

Has "today years old" been covered ITT?

[cfbandyman]

I’m sure I’ve posted my hate for this previously; with that being said, “with that being said” is the worst.

Ha, I use that quite a bit. Mostly as I am inundated with questions and I try and assuage whoever I am talking to that what they thought was the way things are, are in fact not that way.

[pissclams]

with that said is a great ingredient in a crap sandwich

You should endeavor to remove “being” from the phrase. Just an extra word that makes it passive voice and makes everything terrible.  Being said? You just said it!

How about just "But ..."?

"With that being said" is terribly inefficient writing/speaking. It should never be put in writing, but I imagine people use it in speaking to buy a few more moments to collect their thoughts before proceeding.

its great for building a little suspense and drama. Honestly one of the greatest phrases you can use Friday thru Wednesday.

Thursdays, however...

[puniraptor]

Perfect for mansplaining. "Now let me tell you what you are thinking about what I just said"

mid

Basic & mid are two very different things to me. However I’m old & may be using each incorrectly. I hate the term, but “basic” to me is an extension of the old “basic bitch.” In Oklahoma “basic” to me is the guy at the casino on a Friday night dressed like every other guy at the casino because that’s what guys at the casino wear. And by casino I mean Oklahoma casino.

“Mid” is a place or thing or a description of how average someone is at something. The original use of mid of the wrestler using it to describe Skyline Chili at a show in Cincy is perfect. Another example is Taco Tico. I like it because I grew up on it, but it’s mid Mexican fast food.

I definitely like “that being said,” or “that said,” but I’m a bit of a rogue when it comes to writing. I always leave the full palette available when spinning prose.

FTR I definitely don't use it in emails or other such writing, it's pretty much just a verbal thing I do to, as mentioned, is just a phrase used to to let whoever is distracting me I hear them but don't care to hear them/reasoning for something. It almost always proceeded by "I understand what you're saying" or "I hear what you're saying" and a long list of confirming crap and then "but with that being said do XYZ, not ABC."

I would totally understand it being a peeve though
