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?
I don’t know about a spoken pause; but I do this fairly often as a kind of concurring negation. “I agree, that’s a bad idea” or “you’re right, we should wait on that”, for instance.
…I’ll also “y’all” sometimes, when I need to emphasize I’m talking to more than one person!
