Yanbu.
I am on a bike in the gym facing a bodybuilder with 'amazeballs' on his overly tight vest. Twat.

DamnTheManSaveTheEmpire · 19/09/2012 07:11

Nope yanbu its cringe inducing and used by pretentious wannabe hipster nobodies. The type who also say totes for totally.

At 6:45am writing you hate the word amazeballs is what you thought was the best thing to do?

LydiasMiletus · 19/09/2012 07:15

Why not, I would prefer to be at home with a coffee typing on here.

meditrina · 19/09/2012 07:21

I've never heard it. Is it a product?

LizLemon007 · 19/09/2012 07:23

i only see it on fb, and never from anybody older than 25!

BerthaKitt · 19/09/2012 07:30

YANBU it makes me want to punch things (like my phone for being an arse).

Booomy at 7:13am you thought reading a post about someone hating the word amazeballs and commenting on it was the best thing you could do?

YANBU.

FoofyShmooffer · 19/09/2012 07:58

I'm not keen I'll be honest but the other day it was used in the most fabulously sarcastic way by someone on here that I adored. Grin

MadgeHarvey · 19/09/2012 08:34

I adore it when used sarcastically and I especially adore it when someone, as in eleanor up there, gets it! If anyone actually thinks it's a word, really a word, and uses it like it's really a word THEN they're fair game for being called a twatola-de-luxe!

GooseyLoosey · 19/09/2012 08:36

It's a word? Wow, other, more longstanding words, fail me.

twatafellarious has subtle undertones of knob-gobbling in it Grin - I like it!

iknowwho · 19/09/2012 08:46

I love hearing new slang words.
I find it quite fun and the words often disepear without a trace as fast as they arrived and new lingo takes over.

limitedperiodonly · 19/09/2012 08:49

YY to madge and eleanor.

I hated 24/7 more but it seems to be dying.

My number one hate at the moment is cohort. You mean kids who are in your kid's year, don't you?

MadgeHarvey · 19/09/2012 09:27

These things always die out but they'll always exist! Often they're inspired by TV programmes - yeahbutnobutyeahbut anybody? Grin
Agree about cohort though - hideous!

MsVestibule · 19/09/2012 09:37

YABU. I love these words, although of course I don't use them at the moment.

I have a little notebook where I write them all down so I can look them up in a few years when the DCs are teenagers. Imagine describing something as 'totes amazeballs' in ten years, in front of their friends. The embarrassment factor would be off the scale. Also loving twatola-de-luxe, thanks Madge.

Disclaimer - I don't really have a notebook. Just stored in my head.
