"Shaud up! What a punkass HO! O.M.G.! O.M.G.! Tha bitch ain't Shakespeare! What a busta! O.M.G.! O.M.G.!"
I can handle the normal dialog on public transportation but saying O.M.G. instead of Oh my God? I don't get it. They are the same amount of syllables so what's the point of using the abbreviation? Is it to prove that you are hip enough to have experienced the internet?
"BT Dubbs" for BTW/by the way. I know someone who legitmately says that in sentences and I have to restrain myself from stabbing her in the eye every time she says it.
We were each covering the office from home over the holidays and when he called me at change of shift at 11pm Christmas Eve he told me "Hey, merry Christmas Bro!". As a result, this Christmas was not only totally radical, but also more than a little bit tubular with a slight chance of gnarly.
I'm some kind of reverse racist, because I have absolutely no problem with African-Americans speaking ebonics, or even Snoop Dizzle, to each other or to me, but I cannot abide honkies trying to go ghetto on me. And in the office, I insist on everyone speaking as close an approximation of proper English as they can manage, regardless of race or neighborhood of origin. I will also mock the living Shakespeare out of anyone who uses AOL speak in conversation with me, and will mock them moderately for using it in written correspondence. Even text messages.
All improper abbreviations set my teeth on edge, but other than vacay, the ones that kill me the most are "hunge" or "hundy" for hundred. Holy Shakespeare. It's rampant in New Jersey and Staten Island. Someone is getting an elbow strike to the bridge of their nose the next time I hear one of those.
I regret to add that I am guilty of throwing in a bro now and then. I only use it, though, when the person I'm talking to is actually a bro. Like Declan and F.X. (but not Biff or Hap), or my closest friends, Carl and Morose Mike. I have completely cured myself of dude, though, and that's a major accomplishment for someone who has smoked as much weed as I have.
My real annoyances are (as others have mentioned) verbalizing chat room text. The afformentioned OMG (ohemgee), LOL (lawl), and ROFL (roffle).
However, it's getting completely retarded. I've heard people using "less than three" to express affection <3
As for me, I use WTF way too often, but mostly because I'm at work where I don't want to be dropping F bombs. Having to use the acronym is annoying to me so I've tried changing over to army speak (Whiskey Tango Foxtrot), but I keep Frost-ing it up as Whisko Tangy Foxtrot which is pretty funny in itself.
I do also like using bro as irony but I've tapered it off a little bit. I don't really want to sound like a Broseph over here.
If so, I think it should be "redick." Which is fitting for anyone who would use that phrase in a sentence.
Yes that's correct.
I have also heard "Redics" used interchangable with redic.
Going with your interpretation we would get Redicks.
Knowing this, some adults upon hearing/reading the phrase:
"I was at a concert last night, it was redicks"
Could possibly construe it as
"I was at a concert last night, it was regarding penises"
This has potential, I need to start hanging around kids more. Purely in the interest of science, of course.
A baby pacifier, used to be called a pacifier now its called: A binky, a beebee, a wubby, a nummy, a num-num, and a ninny among countless other names
Grandparents used to be reffered to as Grandmother(grandma,grandmom) and Grandfather(granddad, grandpa). Now they are known as, Mom Mom, Pop Pop, Pee-Paw, Mee-Maw, Poppy, NaNa, Me-Ma, and the list goes on.
KFC used to be Kentucky Fried Chicken, International House of Pancakes is now IHOP, Federal Express? Nope it's Fed Ex...
...I saw something shiney, it distracted me and I lost train of thought.
I've always hated hearing the word "retard", used as a noun. as in "He's a retard!" From there, I hate it even more when they shorten that into "tard". I also hate
"diss" for disrespect
and
"sitch" for situation
I actually heard my husband answer the phone with this little gem......
"Whassup Bra?" ............. BRA .....really? I was then forced to kick his ass.
I admit to being guilty of using the contraction 'mornin' as a shortened version of another Frost-ing day of listening to your inane management-techno-babble.
When I introduced my mom to the internet, I let her know the meaning of some of the terms she might come across. (LOL, BRB, BBIAB)
She decided to shorten sentences that only made sense in her mind & would include at least 2 of them in every email to me. For example: TTYWIGB*, LYLALAL** and LYMTAITW***. What the Frost?!
At the time it was frustrating, as I am not especially keen on puzzles. Now that I look back on it, the story of it is endearing.
* Talk to you when I get back.
** Love you lots and lots.
*** Love you more than anything in the world.
1. "Cuz"...as though adding one more syllable (cousin) will somehow cause a rip in the vocabulary time space continuim and end speech as we know it.
2. Substituting "z" for a plural "s"...as though that makes the word somehow unique and therefore valuable.
"Yo cuz... me n my peepz is rollin in from the 913 to drop some benjaminz on the fine azz hoz you got at the skrip club. Itz gonna rain up in here...nowaddahmsayin cuz?"
Cuz I want to rip your tongue out and feed it to an Orangatan, you illiterate buffoon! No wonder White people think we're stupid...hell after listening to you, I think I'm stupid. And no, I don't know what you're saying...nor do I understand the words that are comming out of your fake gold encrusted mouth.
Lite is not a Frost-ing word, at all. Whether it means low in weight, bright in illumination, low in calories or texture, whatever. There is no such Frost-ing word as lite. It's light you ignorant language mutilating Frosts.
This educational message brought you by the letter G and the number 44.
BFF?
WTF!
How about Big Frostin Deal...BFD for all you acronym hussies.
Can you all just use a box of Alpha Bits as garnish on the big bowl of dick you eat for breakfast daily.
There was one phrase "totes adorbs" that was annoying me to the point where I had the idea of photoshopping a sponge onto a picture of someone carrying a tote bag with the caption "Totes absorbs!" I was even searching pics online that I could use, but something else shiny caught my attention. Also, I think the phrase must have fallen out of fashion because I haven't seen it again.
Now, I know there are time when, and subjects about which all of us don't GAF, and there's nothing wrong with that. When you shorten it to a slogan, though, and apply it to your t-shirt or bumper sticker, you become a douchebag.
