To think that saying "hash tag" before everything you say is NOT cool?

[DeepPurple]

I went out tonight with dh to a lovely restaurant. A group of 10 23-27 year olds came in rather drunk, one male had a voice like a fog horn and said "hash tag" before every thing he said. Am I getting old and uncool or is that just plain stupid?

[SirBoobAlot]

Actually saying it aloud?

Go with the flow and get down with the kids you square (the spelling in that was atrociously good, sorry)

[AgentZigzag]

And it was a bit 1960's as well

I'm not down with the children.

[LadyBeagleEyes]

####Now you must have guessed it would go this way Op .
But I've yet to see people saying it out loud.
Yes, plain stupid IMO but I'm not cool.

He was saying it before every thing he said eg: hashtag good wine. Hash tag OMG Sarah looks good tonight.

On Facebook, twitter, MySpace etc it's all good. Actually SAYING it?

So I'm not just getting old then?

[ORANGEgiraffesCantWearGOLD]

I came on to say you know how this will go?

It's like when people complain about swearing on here and every reply is

cunt
fuck
bitch
wanker
bastard

[DeepPurple]

And yes he was saying OMG not oh my god

[ORANGEgiraffesCantWearGOLD]

I have never heard anyone say it outloud but have heard people say "smiley face" and "sad face"

[DeepPurple]

[GrimAndHumourless]

LAmay maybe? in ooh la la frenchie accent, pref whilst trickling gauloises smoke through nostrils hee haw hee haw hee haw

[DeepPurple]

I've yet to hear someone say smiley face or sad face! I'll be listening for it now

I wish I was better at making my mouth do this and my eyebrow do this in real life.

[AgentZigzag]

I've used strikethrough from on here talking to DH.

But only with DH because he knows WTF I'm on about.

[DeepPurple]

WTF in front of children is kind of acceptable if you need to get a point across. LOL is not.

[GoldPlatedNineDoors]

I hate it.

I hate it on my TV. I want to watch a programme without Twitter references all over it. Surely it's a form of advertising and a sneaky one at that.

[AgentZigzag]

Yeah Quad, I've used the hmm face

Again, and I stress this, only with DH. I'm not a fucking weirdo

[AgentZigzag]

I loathe 'what's trending at the moment'

[SneakyNuts]

I hate all this shite.

And I'm 21.

[EmBOOsa]

I don't think I could have resisted yelling at that bloke! What a twat!

[arthurfowlersallotment]

I know someone who says LOL.

Yes it would be good to be able to do strikethrough in the middle of a conversation. Remember in the late 80s people used to show speech marks by holding up two fingers on each hand and flexing them? Well you could hold your arm horizontally in front of your face when saying the bit you wanted to strikethrough but it would make you look bonkers
