Stupid slang term thread

[Manic]

Well, you caught me in the middle of searching for a new avatar. It was hard finding a good picture of Chop Chop Master Onion, anyway.

I'm pretty sure we had a thread like this before...but I hate the word "Bromance" "Chillax" and anything ending with "Izzle".

THe most terrible slang I use for irony is called "Burpin" which means you aren't exaggerating.

 

[Manic]

I have never heard that word, and I don't care to.


One thing I've heard from British TV shows is the misuse of 'well' in place of 'very.' It creates phrases like "that was well good" or "you were well bad." It sounds like the type of thing someone would say if English was their second language, and no one ever bothered to correct them.

One slang I can't do without is "hanging out," when referring to time with my friends. I try to think of other phrases, but I can only think of "chilling." I could always say "spend time with," but it really sound like it should be with a girl instead.

This does slightly annoy me, and I make it a point to not resort to saying it, but its so widespread among young people in the UK that I don't notice it most of the time.

Boo - I hate this expression and dumped a girl because she referred to me as such

Bro, Broham or any derivation thereof

"Shawty". Once upon a time, this was used in reference to a child. As if that weren't bad enough, it became the term for a woman in whom you are interested.

Yes that is awful...another term Ive heard is "Tenders"

I absolutely cannot refer to my girlfriend as "ma" or "mama" or any other oedipus-esque pet name.

 

[DorkyFresh]

i don't really hate any slang unless it's forced. for instance, in Mean Girls when one of them tried to make 'fetch' sound like 'cool'...so not fresh. foreal though, as long as the person who's using it uses it in a way that makes it sound natural then it's cool with me. like...i've noticed people are starting to say "know what i'm sizzlin?" and even though that normally would get on my nerves, some people say it in a way that makes it sound cool. so with me...it all depends on how you say it and how often you say it....cuz if you say it too much then it just becomes lame.

 

[BlackLantern]

"Gretchen, stop trying to make "fetch" happen!!"

 

[Manic]

You must hate the movie Juno. Diablo Cody writes like she's never heard a teenager talk before.

I've always found that term incomprehensible.

Most of the words in rap songs are stupid slang terms.

 

[Chris Wallace]

I made previous reference to that, stating I don't listen to it largely for that reason. And then they make up even more stupid terms as they go along.

 

[DorkyFresh]

a few words that i'd like to see make a come back would be 'fresh', 'groovy', 'doy', 'nards' and 'rad'. also...i've noticed that lately i've started using 'suckage'.


edit: another slang term that's been irking me since Pirates of the Caribbeans came out is 'savvy'. in itself, it's a cool term, but when you're copying a fictional pirate just to sound different or unique, you're not really accomplishing that objective.

 

[PyroChamber]

I don't like "thirsty", largely b/c I'm not entirely sure what it means.

From what I've been told it's like when you want something real bad, being desperate for something.

I didn't know what the hell people were talking about when I first started hearing it.

I don't even think people really say some of the things these rappers are talking about, like I don't think I've heard anyone yet say that they've been "chopped and screwed".

And the teens and rap enthusiasts eat it up and it spreads across the globe and makes its way into everday use

When I am thirsty I want some liquid like water real bad

She writes from an empowered woman mindset....all the meaningful dialogue comes from the women, the men just seem kind of there....done being off topic now

 

[Chris Wallace]

You know one term I was glad to see die? "Take a chill pill." I never liked it b/c it sounded like you're encouraging drug use. The only person I've heard say it in the last 10 years or so is my father, who insists he got it from me. Impossible, as I have NEVER said it.

Like in Japan, they love rap over there. In fact I think they like rap in Japan more than here in the states.

You guys think you have it bad? Try living in Ireland with bs terms as ''Hey cuz''(I'm not your cousin), ''aboy the kid''(I'm not a kid, I'm 22), ''feck''(Why can't you just say f***?), A lot of Limerick people in Ireland, end a sentence with ''like''-''You know what I mean, like'', I can wait until the trip next week, like''(Like what?), Instead of decent, they say ''daycent'' and some terms on the net annoy me also, like ''epic'' and ''legend''.
