To absolutely cringe when people

[Clossaintjacques]

use a web address as a statement

I'm tired dot com!! No you're just fucking tired why put .com on the bloody end.

Does anyone else hate this and if so what's the most cringe worthy example you have heard.

Closs - When I was a teen everything was wicked or bad and "ennit" was placed at the end of every sentence. Annoying people were called "spanners" and Americanisms such as "gee whizz" were also used. I spoke in this way deliberately in front of my parents because it annoyed the hell out of them and ALWAYS got a reaction. For this reason, I ignore it from my kids and then embarrass them in front their friends by saying "OMG what are you doing.com?" for example.

mwahahahahahahahaha!

Yanbu. I don't get it but then I am a bit thick when it comes to jovial matters.

'Obvs' is the one irritating me at the moment. My teenage cousin updates her facebook status with things like, 'X-factor crap this year. Still watching it obvs LOL'.

Gun emoticon anyone?

'IKR' - yuck.

I remember "your mum" being the main comeback for any insult. Such as: "your sandwich looks dry", "your mum looks dry". Half of the time it made no sense! I must admit i still say it to DH sometimes!

I am a linguist, so tend to err on the side of fascination with trendy sayings rather than disliking them. Although the text speak ones make my toes curl "lol" !?!?!?! Fuck off.

jel is my one, 'oh my god i'm sooooo jel'

the word is jealous!!! Use it!!

Haha I remember the "your mum" insult. Made popular, I believe, by "White Men Can't Jump" in the early 90s? Saw your mum kicking a can down the street, I said what you doing, she said moving.

Also the Mary Whitehouse stuff - see that puddle over there? That's your swimming pool that is.

I still find myself saying things are wicked. Even as I say it I'm cringing but I cant stop it happening.

We used to say 'beard' and stroke an imaginary beard.

My DH tutors and his students all say 'my bad' or 'sick' and he doesn't get half of it as it's all teen speak.

I can't bear 'natch' which is seen a lot on here and I also can't stand 'jel' but haven't seen 'obvs' but will hate it when i do no doubt.

Oh! And what about 'suck it and see'? What does it refer to?

I mean, to me it seems rude (or maybe just have filthy mind? possible) but my boss will say it for e.g. in middle of a meeting and I always want to say 'shhhh! Do you not know what that means?!'

Is it innocent or does it mean the other?

I hate 'my bad', Lady. And simples.

sorry what is IKR??

When one says "it's sick" is it obligatory to do that hand flicky clicky thing too, doyaknowwhatImean?

IKR means 'I know, right?' as in 'Yes, I quite agree.'

I actually find it all quite amusing - come on you lot lighten up, language evolves !!! if it didn't then we would all still be talking like Jane Eyre !!!!

YABU.COM

'YY' and 'KK'

Whats the bloody.com point of those then?

I grew up in South Africa saying "man" as a type of slang. It may have USA origins, but is not said in the hippy way of "cool, maaaaan" or whatever that may be. I find it hard to describe HOW it is intended, actually. DH who was born (and sort of bred ha ha ha) in England cannot understand it! Very annoying when he does not get my language .

As for the dot.com thingy, Gary Barlow also used it in X Factor last week, too. Alexandra Burke annoyed me just by being there so to have heard her do the dot.com thing would probably have had me saying WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol ........

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK that's annoying!

The one I can't stand is 'ceebs'. Somebody's fb status said

'Total ceebs today'

I thought it meant she was going to spend the day watching CBeebies.

Yes! KK. Why not just put OK?

What is ceebs?

I've never heard this fortunately

KK is quicker to type

I still say a lot of "And he was like xxxxx, and she was like xxxxxxx, and I was like xxxxx". I don't know why! I can't help it!

Eh...?

Do people really put .com on the end of sentences now?

I obviously live in an entirely sheltered world. Never heard or seen it and not even from my soon to be teenage DS1.

It sounds extremely rude and patronising and not something to be admiored or copied. Speaks volumes about our self centred narcistic world.

I don't understand KK and YY.

I also hate someone discussing an argument saying "so I turned around and..." and "she turned around and...". I have visions of people spinning and shouting. Confused.
