To have an irrational rage that makes me want to gag whoever says...

[AlbaGuBrath]

"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.

We have a rather complicated family group with parents, step-parents, and former step-parents. My siblings (which includes half-siblings and step-siblings) and I long ago adopted the term "parental unit" from a US TV show.

Ugh. There's just no need. English is pretty damned crazy and great already.

Alba you are making me chuckle. I'd put the chain on the door if I were you ;)

nanny This is now my front door.

Tape up the letter box too, incase anyone should shout one of these ridiculous 'words' into your house that way.

They surely wouldn't dare!

You never know, people are cray cray.

You no longer exist to me.

Depends on how they said and by whom.

I have a friend who says 'cray cray' and other americanisms in a really sarky, funny way, for example.

No excuse for amazeballs, though

'My bad' is the companion irk to ('How are you?') 'I'm good, thanks.'

I DID NOT ASK ABOUT YOUR MORAL COMPASS.

Hate all of these although not heard of cray cray but my bad really gets my goat as does "I'm good"' think I will use that in future, thanks Zigzag.

My pet hate is when people say "100%" when a simple yes will do! It's happening more and more and driving me cray cray!

To add to the above Sunday roast (or insert meal of choice) Omnomnom

My dd says cray cray. She is totes adorbs though so I let her get away with it.

sooty. Leave. Now.

Somebody put VOM on the first page of this thread, that is pretty unforgivable too or any other reference to being sick .

I keep muttering cray cray to myself, it's sort of soothing in a bonkers way..

My friend called her pet cray fish Cray Cray.

can we add YOLO to the list?

"Bants" can fuck right off

Im struggling with the new one, where people are answering their own questions by saying "right?" at the end of the fucking sentence.

Its really really annoying me, or maybe its just me, right?

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I don't know, like, I think, like, you're all, like, over reacting, like.

I say "totes amazeballs," and "totes adorbs," to annoy my children. They cringe every time. :)

I totes wish my DC were old enough for me to embarrass them with some of these.

My DH uses "my bad". Hadn't found it annoying but of course I will now!

Can someone explain hashtags pls?

Someone I know puts them in every Facebook post. Why? Do they do something?

^'My bad' is the companion irk to ('How are you?') 'I'm good, thanks.'

I DID NOT ASK ABOUT YOUR MORAL COMPASS.^

I always want to respond with "I myself am somewhat evil today" then hopefully they'll avoid me before coming out with "amazeballs" or something equally bile-inducing.

I work in one of those wanky bean bag filled media agencies. I utterly guarantee that no one at all uses any of these phrases, unless in an ironic sense.

The only one we use non-ironically is 'fail' - is that ok??

I am required to use hashtags on a professional basis on occasion. Kills me a little inside every time.
