to fucking HATE words like

[JustDontWantToSay]

"totes"
"emosh"
"amazeballs"

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

"appaz" (apparently).

FFS. WHY?????

Ooh, and laters too - usually "laters, taters" - Lolz!

Mac and cheese is a big mac! That is all

Agree LEM. Has always been a Big Mac.

I once had the misfortune to share a flat for three months whilst working abroad with the most irritating woman known to mankind. We were in Valencia and it was hot. We often had time off during the day. Every single day she would say to me, with a slightly raised eyebrow in anticipation of her forthcoming sentence "Right, so... I'm just off out for a bit of sunBAKING". And then wait for my little sniggered response that she had just said sunbaking instead of.... aahhahahahah... SUNBATHING!!

EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

Mac and cheese is macaroni cheese.

Holibobs gets on my tits though!

Please what is Tommy K?

I too hate people who, when asked how they are say 'I'm good.' I've asked about their health, not their moral or spiritual condition FFS. Do love FFS though. And use quite a lot of abbreviations in texts to save space/money.
Another 70s hangover is 'No way!' instead of just 'No'.
And 'like' not only from teenagers/children but adults who should know better but are obviously far too eager to be down the the kids (or should that be 'kidz'?)
Gnashes remaining teeth.

I think it's tomato ketchup, Brams

Brill. Ta keema Am now totes modern. lol.

Ok - I also hate:
"getting across something" for having everything in hand/knowing all about something.
"both" as in "thanks both" - does it really take so much effort to say "thank you both" or "thanks both of you"
"go with" instead of "go with you/hiim/her/them"

The Today Programme on Radio 4 has been guilty of the latter 2 of these! So much for BBC English!!!

I literally, literally, like really literally, can't stand it when people think its like, kinda cool, to like repeat literally & like all the way through a sentence..like, is it even a sentence...? I literally, literally cannot understand it..its like, really annoying

this is making me "totes emosh...."

GNNNNN, yeah the only emotion i'm feeling is white hot rage.

Natch is short for snatch.

I have a friend (and I use the word loosely now) Who at first meeting seemed quite lovely. We met at a sewing class one evening around 4 years ago and got on really well.

When she first added me on Facebook one of her first status's said "Only me and me fella in, kids av gone out so chinese it is, nom nom".

I rushed home to tell my dp all about it as we'd never met anyone who uses those words before I must have lived a sheltered life.

Now shes constantly there with them "look at my lit flower" - means look at this picture of my little girl . Every other day I cringe for what comes out of her mouth.

I need to delete dont I. And anyone who uses Fambo or as its been shortened to round these parts Fam - I will shoot you before you finish the word!!

My DS (11) will say 'lol' as a comment. It makes my flesh crawl. When I pointed out that if he were indeed 'laughing out loud' I would hear this so there would be need to comment, he looked totally baffled.

Hate megalolz and totes-maze too. And what does 'totes magoats' actually mean?

I hate lazy spellings too; ryt, ur, l8r, wud, cud etc.
Even more now I gave realised how much effort is actually involved in allowing phone or computer to allow one to type them in. Grrrrr.

literally AND basically: - basically littered literally through every sentence basically!

YOLO - You only live once

I admit 'soz' is irritating but can blank most of these out.

I don't know anyone who uses totes or emosh etc in any way other than ironically, even teenagers.

I am guilty of putting 'like' into a sentence where it doesn't belong but i do try and stop myself as it makes me sound about 9.

My dear friend over uses literally, and it is LITERALLY the most annoying thing ever.

Lil man is also pretty annoying.

I had a final year student say she'd "literally died of embarrassment". When I pointed out the meaning of 'literally' she did a major flounce. I really think Orwell's time of words meaning what we want them to mean is upon us.
The "like" thing as well, my friend's 7 year old went from speaking really good English to gabbling with 'like' inserted between almost very word. His mother said the whole of his year do it, because the older "cool" children do.
Will have no teeth left if I keep grinding at this rate.
Am encouraged by knowing that this decade's abbvs will be totes unaccep for the next one. And we'll all struggle to learn those but once we have, that generation will have moved on. And so it goes.
Once called my father 'Daddy-o' and he was ab-so-lute-ly furious. Archaism now.

my 6 yo says ''like'' all of the , like, time
I try & draw his attention to it eg...it's not, 'like' a car, it IS a car...he just ignores me

I HATE the word ''meh'' it is a verbal lazy shrug and it riles me

Discussion of the day - ha ha! So it should be :) We cannot allow our British English to get, like, y'know, literally, basically, like lost?

Hubs
Fam
Rents (my ex STILL refers to his parents as 'rents', as in, 'ask the rents')

Disgruntled your dippy egg comment made me laugh out loud!! See what I did there?! :)

If we continue, we will all end up like THIS

Ha - replied to thread not realisng it was 6 pages long!

Currently hating banter and swaggy.

But using lot of the above ironically to annoy 13 year old Dd.

Lol.

Oh - and edit - as used in fashion magazines. What does it mean?

OMG I fricking Love ''Megalolz''

What is this bae thing? Can anybody with teenagers tell me. I've seen it and heard it used "ma bae".

God, I feel past it.

Rocks - as in so and so rocks the latest look.
