Either online or IRL. For me it's "chefs kiss" there's nothing wrong with it but for no reason it grinds my gears

keep going.

the structure of the sentence - “i am just saying”

the word saying is being used as a verb, but in a completely nonsensical way that defies the word’s definition.

this annoys me almost as much as the people write “sike!”, instead of the actual, properly shortened word “psyche!”. it makes us collectively look dumb as shit.
