AIBU?

To have an irrational rage that makes me want to gag whoever says...

"Hell to the no"

"Totes"

"Amazeballs"

(the last two combined)

"Chillax"

"My bad"

"Cray cray"

Surely nobody over the age of 15 should use these words in a serious context (even in a joking context if I'm totally honest)

I have this week heard them all used at work by professional, otherwise intelligent people. Please don't tell me it's me that wants to stuff the nearest bit of junk mail into their pie hold every time they speak like this.

There have been beanbags delivered to my office this week. I admit another WTF moment of mine but no I don't work in media. Also my glasses are awesome thank you very much, think Deirdre from Corrie meet Elton.

I said cray cray as a joke once. My old flat mate gave me the look of death - I never said it again.
Totes amazeballs is the worst.

AlbaGuBrath · 25/10/2014 20:07

I say all of those things, ironically and because I know how much it pisses my teenage dds off Smile

nannynoss · 25/10/2014 20:09

Perhaps! We had a friend who said it a lot. Well, he just said 'cray' on its own.

MiniTheMinx · 25/10/2014 20:10

Totes aren't they just large bags or am I missing something

Fabulous46 · 25/10/2014 20:10

I've never heard of any of the above except for "bae" and "totes". The worst one I've heard is "totes emosh" and. I had to ask what it meant.

Haggisfish · 25/10/2014 20:10

Ha ha I say totes amazeballs in a slightly ironic way -makes me chuckle!

NickiFury · 25/10/2014 20:10

I can't stand

"my bad"

Angry

AlbaGuBrath · 25/10/2014 20:11

I have also just realised considering my OP is riddled with typos I really should probably keep my own pie hole shut Grin

nannynoss · 25/10/2014 20:11

Totes emosh!!!! Arghhhh.

Also, 'natch' for naturally.

Annietheacrobat · 25/10/2014 20:11

I say chillax to wind up DP

Fabulous46 · 25/10/2014 20:12

What does "my bad" mean?

AlbaGuBrath · 25/10/2014 20:12

YY to totes emosh!

Oh my God I used to volunteer for a charity and one of the women, in her early 30s, used almost all of those sayings.

'totes amazeballs' was her favourite though.

This was one of the many reasons I couldn't stand her.
