When people write "chefs kiss". Utterly harmless but OH GODDESS IT GRINDS MY GEARS

Ugh, same. Really any memespeak, even if it's far older than the internet. Growing up every social group seemed to have a child who would endlessly quote movies. Somehow this is worse.

The most unpleasant may be "Imagine..." followed by some convoluted story. It always feels like an attempt to slightly disguise bullying. Even when it's directed at a detestable public figure, and it feels like a useful rhetorical construct.
