Every time I hear someone say ‘eh’ in a questioning tone or to mean ‘um actually’ I lose my shit. Or even just to play something down.

Like I literally come to hate the person instantly. Its a very strong feeling on a very small sound.

Instant downvotes if I see it on Lemmy too. HATE IT.

How about all y’all?

    There’s a reason you dislike it so, I wager

    It’s not that deep." – dismisses attempts to expose faulty logic by asserting that logic is not necessary in this particular case.[8]

    “Lies of the Devil.” – used as a response to any fact that threatens the integrity of an individual or group.[9] “Stop thinking too much.” – redirects attention from the topic, idea, or argument at hand to the alleged overuse of thought itself.[10]

    “You clearly care way too much about this topic.” – implies that one’s level of concern or interest in a particular topic or situation is excessive and thus invalidates any further conversation or exploration[2]

    “There are worse things in life to worry about.” – implies that less significant issues are not worth addressing since they are not as significant as other issues and implies that a person’s situation is not significant enough to even warrant discussion or action[11]

    “It’s all good.” – nullifies, without evidence, any possible debate by asserting the issue is already settled.[12][user-generated source?]

    “Here we go again.” – implies that the redundant, cyclical nature of a given disagreement means it will never be resolved.[13]

    “So what? What effect does my action have?” – used to dismiss an individual’s involvement in a larger cause on the grounds that one person is too insignificant to ever have a meaningful impact.[2]

    “Let’s agree to disagree.” – used to stop discussion of an issue rather than attempt to resolve it;[14] may, however, instantiate a dialectic.

    “It is what it is.” – implies that things are unchangeable, therefore there is no point in further discussion.[15]

    “Let people enjoy things.” – purports that criticisms to consumable media are attempts to prevent consumers from enjoying said media.[
