For me there's a particular three that really annoy me.
1) Waifu. Original context simply referred to a female anime character to which person might develop an unhealthy obsession, and it was still a pretty obscure term outside of Japan or dedicated anime communities - but now it's absolutely EVERYWHERE. It's become the massive go-to word to describe a character in games, literature, fiction or art that you like. You hear it constantly used by game reviewers now to describe the companion rosta for any RPG on the market. I've no idea why it annoys me, it just does.
2) Butthurt I fekking despise this term. Fortunately it seems to be on the way out, it's very much last-season's meme. Thank God!
3) The 'C word' I suffer from an illogical superstition that naming evil things like this will somehow cause them to manifest. No it makes no sense at all, but there it is. Having recently lost a close friend and several relatives to the 'C-word' seeing it constantly used as a flavour-of-the-month meme (usually by younger people) to describe anything they don't like "This game is C*****", makes me cringe. I can't even finish reading the thread when I see it.
4) ...and speaking of 'cringe'.... This is another term that really grinds my gears: "That's just cringe". Once again I have no idea why this annoys me so much, it just does. Maybe it's the grammatical murder, or it's sheer prevalence, who can say? It just annoys me for some reason.

Don't know if this qualifies, but the habit some have of naming Youtube videos "X absolutely destroys Y" really bugs me.
Especially if I'm foolish enough to watch the video and it turns out it is just some idiot - X - disagreeing with Y - person that made a pretty valid point and backed it up.

It's gone so far that I tend to steer clear of anything that has a 'click-baitish' title. But I also recognize the names of some posters, and then it's a no, no, no, no matter what it pretends to be about.

I loathe this one too. It's everywhere, from politics to sports to reaction videos and, as you say it's usually just some person expressing disagreement with someone else's position. Pure clickbait. Almost as bad as: THIS AMAZING LIFE HACK WILL LITERALLY CHANGE YOUR LIFE! to promote some shit, overpriced product nobody needs. Or how about the banner ads for garbage pay-to-win mobile games with titles like: THEY TRIED TO BAN THIS GAME FOR IT'S MATURE THEMES! FIND OUT WHY FOR YOURSELF... complete with images of ridiculous anime girls in bikini armor and coquettish expressions.

I must have been living a sheltered life because I'd never even heard of that one until you mentioned it. I had no idea what it even meant. Had to Google it to find out.
