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.

Yes what does Ceebs mean grin

Ceebs is short for CBA, which is short for can't be arsed.

DP and I have started using teen-speak as a joke at home; unfortunately it has become addictive.

"Do you want to go somewhere for dinner tonight?"
"Nah, ceebs."
"K. Shall we get takeaway?"
"Totes."

Please translate!! Totes? rofflecopter??

Totes emotes

Totally emotional!!

Totes = totally

rofflecopter = um, I think it's an extension of ROFL.

ceebs has 5 letters, CBA has 3. It isn't shorter.

What does Mary Whitehouse have to do with puddles and swimming pools?

Does sick mean good or bad now. Does go sick on someone mean they will be pleased with you and pat you on the back or they will shout at you?

Oh Ralph - you are down with the kids! & I am so not! There we go, couple of cringey phrases.
Ok, I have to ask - does anyone know anyone else who adds "ski" to the end of words? My boss does this. So, he'll say "Morningski" and "I'm offski" and "chillski". He is nearly 60 & to the best of my knowledge has never been any where near a ski slope. What is that all about?

rofflecopter, you roll on the floor laughing, then spin round like a helicopter? A bit like break dancing with laughter.

No TotemPole, it isn't shorter and that's what drives me mad.

Mary Whitehouse Experience - that's you that is

Oh yes bugsy2 offski that's annoying

I think we did 'chinny chin chin' if we thought someone was lying (said while stroking imaginary beard)
Can't understand 'sick' or 'jokes' and can't bear 'lulz', though my 30 and 40something colleagues keep each other amused in dull meetings by finishing a difficult discussion with 'Whatevs'...

To think that Britain once had an Empire and gave The World its language and some of its greatest literature.

God, I'm so behind the times, never heard or seen this.

Someone on another thread just wrong "I heart Hello Kitty" haha!!

Thanks for the link Ralph.

We have had mint and sick and are now onto epic.

The .com thing started (I think) in Austin Powers where Dr Evil was telling his son to shut up, and he said "www.shush.com". That means it's been around for more than a decade. No-one shd still be finding it funny.

"Care factor zero" is also annoying

"hunny" should be a capital offence.

However, it's not all one way traffic to linguistic armageddon. Sometimes really good words come back into fashion after a period in the wilderness - e.g delusional

I love that word.com

Can I throw in another one please? Putting "as if" in front of a statement. Eg. "as if I'm cold" (I saw this as a facebook status last week) when the person is stating that they are cold. Where has this come from?? I noticed someone use it in an op last week too, when referencing something they had said to someone. I don't understand, it doesn't make any sense, and seems completely pointless. Was going to post in Pedants' Corner but I try to avoid that place, I get a bit obsessed

"Care factor zero"

I'll be using that one on DP tonight Bride!

Not totally related but I also hate it when people talk by asking themselves a question and then answering it to get a point across.

"Do you think I was upset by it? No I wasn't"

my dh tells people he is confused.com it drives me mad.
