i hate when people start sentences with "listen"
- Thread starter nogoodnamesleft
- Start date
Hey, listen
This is pain
Listen, pain
Link's in pain
Lick 'em, hey
Let them pay
This is hell (with 2x speed)
My favorite version of this is actually, "Mira, cabron."
I don't know, it just has a certain cadence to it, at least with a Puerto Rican accent.

Any thread that starts with 'We need to talk/have a discussion about.."
90% of the time we don't because it's just a platform for the OP to complain about some dumb personal shit.
Listen, and understand. That terminator is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.
None bother me necessarily, they're just filler words.
However, starting a thread title with "We need to talk about.. whatever" => promptly and unceremoniously ignored.

True that, I was just about to post that this is super common with sports commentators. I guess I don't mind it too much. I am kind of guilty of utilizing too many words when typing/speaking haha!
"Look" has started to bother me especially in TV shows. Right after or during watching The Boys.
The Boys seems to have a extremely high number of "look,...." dialogue, but now whenever I hear it anywhere it annoys me for a reason.

If you parents say that, run!!!!
That's means your in trouble. Lol
Even worse are the thread titles that start with "So, uhm..." That shit is so cringeworthy to me.
Listen up here, I'll make it quite clear
I'm gonna put some boogie in your ear
Shake and bop, don't you stop
Dance like a maniac until you drop

"I don't know who needs to hear this but..." followed by a statement addressed to a very specific group of people seems to be the new thing.
"Oh, like you're doing now?"
You were taken aback, and all you could say was "What?" but I kept cutting you off and going "What? What? What?" and closing my hand shut in front of your face. You walked away and continued with your shopping, and you heard me chuckle as you walked off. When you came to pay for your stuff up front you saw me trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in my hands without paying.
I use "again" a lot when I'm losing my patience in an argument or debate. Especially when I feel I've made the point clear already.
So "Can I get your full attention?" is cool but "Listen" is bad?
Former implies you aren't paying attention so they request you listen.
The latter ignores the implication that you aren't listen and just cuts to the chase.
So let me tell you something and please give me your full attention and listen, it isn't a big deal.

Yes, which is typically when people use it. It's a rather passive aggressive way of communicating to the listener that they are not understanding you or not agreeing with your obvious conclusion, which can be condescending. I'm not suggesting that's how you use it, though I think most do. I also think people use it to establish that what they said is some pre-agreed stipulation.
