Areright, or is it are right? Used as a filler word, a transitional word between different ideas, or an opening word before a video, or other presentation. I maintain it is not a real word, but rather a hackneyed slang version of the word alright or the words all right

Once I became annoyed by it, I began noticing it everywhere: used by surgeons and other physicians in medical videos, chefs doing cooking demonstrations, politicians, comedians, etc.

Its use is pervasive in the US. A teacher friend of mine (at a NJ Montessori school) insists it is indeed recognised here as a real word, albeit as slang or informal usage. It sounds terrible to me either way.

R100, I actually prefer "no problem" over "you're welcome", personally. I guess it also depends on how either is used though. To me, saying "no problem" is just being chill and accommodating, whereas "you're welcome" can come across as a bit catty - sort of like implying they're keeping a score card of some sort of all your interactions.

". . . gave me the feels." Ugh. Inane. Truncation, or shortening, of words is common enough (gym, doc, exam, memo, gas). But some of the newer ones sound stupid, like substituting feels for feelings, fam for family, bae for babe.

On the flip side (anyone hate that phrase?), adding "actually" to a sentence is extraneous and unnecessary. "I'm actually surprised. I actually thought you were actually going through with it." Remove the word and you get something more concise: "I'm surprised. I thought you were going through with it."

^ I should add that I frequently hear "actually" used by speakers in YouTube videos. They sprinkle it all over their speech, thinking that it makes them seem authoritative, experts on the topic they're discussing. Nope. It just muddles everything.

"Lady Gaga, the Poker Face singer, appeared in a dress made entirely of meat!"

What I hate about this is the qualifier "the Poker Face singer". They do this shit all the time now, as if we need that extra verbiage. It would make more sense if they used it with a lesser known celebrity, and if they had used better grammar. For example:

"Janelle Monae appeared in a satin tuxedo covered with rhinestones. Fans will recall Monae from her breakthrough appearance on 'We Are Young' by the band fun."

The above doesn't use "Monae, the We Are Young singer,".

[quote]"Quick Question"

In Spain, "una pregunta..." Is a most dangerous interjection which must be drowned out or aborted at any cost.

After a long wait your number has been called at the bank and your proceed to sit down with the officer to discuss some bit of paperwork that must be seen to in person. Just as you greet the bank officer and begin to explain your request, some clown appears from nowhere with his innocent sounding, "una pregunta" (one question.) Bit it is neither one question mor a simple matter but a series of increasingly complex questions that will derail the entire bank office for the better part of a half hour if you don't interject immediately and tell him to take a number as you did. Firmly.

Or in a post office, a government office, the grocery store. It's not that the expression itself is hated it's the fear the words invoke.
