"Hell to the no"

"Totes"

"Amazeballs"

(the last two combined)

"Chillax"

"My bad"

"Cray cray"

Surely nobody over the age of 15 should use these words in a serious context (even in a joking context if I'm totally honest)

I have this week heard them all used at work by professional, otherwise intelligent people. Please don't tell me it's me that wants to stuff the nearest bit of junk mail into their pie hold every time they speak like this.

As in "it's blates obvious that she over-lipsticked herself this morning". Quite happy to be told I'm wrong though.

Blimey burgers!!! Love it. Am so using that in my year 9 science lesson after half term. I walk that fine line between cool funny teacher and cringeworthy awfulness! I love it.

Bae is the worst. It mean poo in Dutch.

Hahahaha ros

Blades is short for blatantly. 'I blates fancy him'

nannynoss · 25/10/2014 20:42

My phone did NOT want to write blates, clearly

My 12yo DS says "lol" out loud, as a word.
I forgive him as 1. he is my pfb 2. I love him and 3. He is 12. However, I may need to strangle him next time he says it.

vag 'holibobs' makes me want to DIE. Angry

WRT to hashtags - it winds me up most when people have a paragraph of hashtags that they paste at the bottom of every picture or post. The hashtags are always the same, so half the time aren't even relevant to the bloody post.
Eg, someone put a picture of a Starbucks up today, with hashtags about the gym and 'fit fam'

WHY

My phone probably thinks it's been stolen by a 14 year old now.

AlbaGuBrath · 25/10/2014 20:55

Or someone from my work. Grin

dolittle I think I've just puked up my dinner.

Purplepoodle · 25/10/2014 21:01

Boss uses 'my bad' all the time - shudder

Did someone really just say 'famalam'?

nannynoss · 25/10/2014 21:05

I also dislike 'rents' for parents. But I may be in the minority on that one.

AlbaGuBrath · 25/10/2014 21:06

I keep reading farm a lamb. What in gods name is famalam? If I am told family I am going to lock my doors and never again venture from my nice normal, full worded household.

I can take rents hate when people substitute parents for "the parentals" though.

Oh for the love of fuck - how do you work with these people?

Can you use the beanbags gaming chairs to suffocate the lot of them reduce overheads?

SconeRhymesWithGone · 25/10/2014 21:08

Your love and pity doth the impression fill,
Which vulgar scandal stamped upon my brow;
For what care I who calls me well or ill,
So you o'er-green my bad, my good allow?

ChampagneTastes · 25/10/2014 21:09

All of these are appalling (and for those of you in the South West of England, I give you "lush"... grrrrr). However, I have never before heard "hell to the no" and to be honest I'm going to be using that myself for the next couple of weeks, just for the fun of it. Grin

emotionsecho · 25/10/2014 21:10

I had a terrible shock the other day when I read 'my bad' in an on thread message from MNHQ, I was traumatised I tell you, traumatisedGrin

AlbaGuBrath · 25/10/2014 21:11

I tend to put headphones on for the majority of the day. And have made it a sport to actively avoid the weekly team lunch where they play games including treasure hunts, quizzes, PS2 (hence the beanbags gaming chairs) and one extremely treacherous day word association only using "slang".
