to fucking HATE words like

[JustDontWantToSay]

"totes"
"emosh"
"amazeballs"

and the horror I've just seen on fb....

"appaz" (apparently).

FFS. WHY?????

Natch = naturally.

I initially thought it was something to do with nachos .

Natch = naturally. You'd use it on place of "of course.". I think that one was common around here in the 80s.

I thought natch was around 5-10 years ago. some of you were probably at school

Naturally? I had no idea what that meant. I thought it meant 'aw shucks' or 'gotcha' or something.

Natch was a slag word for vagina/labia when I was younger

Isn't that snatch?

Natch was a slag word for vagina/labia when I was younger

Isn't it snatch?

Perhaps but maybe shortened.

Tbh I don't know anyone who uses any of these expressions. Nor even my teenage dd. With whom are you mixing OP?

YOLO = carpe diem for stupid people. Urban Dictionary. I use totes amazeballs ironically. I live in Canada so no one else says it. Yet. I should stop.

I hate it when people on mn say 'pots' instead of potatos.
Me & dh both says 'totes amaze' if we're taking the piss out of something. It is awful.

Pots! POTS! For some reason this is killing me. Pots! LOL
wanders off mumbling

I do have a tote bag with a picture of a goat on it that says, "Totes McGoats." I think it's funny.

The PP who hates 'rellies' and 'pressies' should avoid Australians (sorry, Aussies) at all costs.

Because this arvo I'm taking the ute down to the bottle-o to buy some wine as a pressie for one of my rellies.

My daughter says 'whatev' in order to convey that she's so unimpressed she can't even be bothered with the entire word.
Which I personally think is a rather delightful and creative use of the language. When it's not being used against me, anyway.

Then again, she obviously is, and associates with, the better class of teenagers.
I'm kind of fond of the ironic/mocking phrase "hashtag YOLO", which usually follows a description of particularly undesirable behaviour, by which you can tell exactly what they think of those who actually say things like that and mean them.

One of my favourite things about the English language is how malleable it is. I'm a big fan of dialects, and this is just a modern dialect. I'm prone to lapse into Netspeak myself, to be honest.

God, I said natch quite a bit in the 80s. I write obvs in posts & tweets (well, obv in tweets to save a character. You have to be econ.)

I'm far too old to get away with hashtag this, that or t'other - which is a shame, because I LOVE it! It's the kind of compact, ironic social commentary all teenagers aspire to. My teens were so long ago, I can't even remember the cool catchphrases - or the uncool ones that were ironically hijacked. Yolo, but for quite a long time as it turns out.

I'm so eighties I still do air quotes

The announcer on Sky has started saying "eps" instead of episodes, makes me want to stop wTching TV altogether...

Oh and YANBU

I never knew what natch meant until today, thanks peeps

My dcs use lots of those words but the only one which boils my piss is defo....no idea why this give me the rage but it just does!

My mother used 'natch' when I was a child so it's been around for at least 50 years.

I hate all of the above but I'll also add 'abso', as in 'that was abso amazeballs'.

Shudder.

Super amazing. Super sunny. Super expensive.

Super irritating!

Yeah, wevs.

lil.

Hate. Hate. Hate.

Just write/type an extra 3 letters FFS. And woe betide anyone that actually uses lil as a word.

There, got rid if the morning grot now.
