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?
Any turn of phrase which is stated incorrectly. Eg.
I know what all of these are supposed to be except the tender hooks one. I’ve said it aloud and it’s driving me crazy because I can NOT figure it out.
Is it a regional one maybe? I’m from the US so maybe it’s one from elsewhere in the world? I bet I’m going to feel like a real dumb dumb when I figure out the answer and it’s hella obvious lmao.
Edit: Googled it and figured out that it’s actually “tenterhooks” and just basically means that someone is uneasy. I’ve never heard that phrase in my life. Kinda dope that I learned a new phrase today!
“on tenterhooks”
You put the nail on the head
I could care less.
“They didn’t do their diligence on that one”
“The gig is up”
Both from a podcast I listened to. I’m still not sure if they ever learned.
