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.

Love this thread. I'd like to add 'anyways' - just drives me mad and used all the time by an otherwise very bright and capable young colleague of mine. I always wonder if I should mention that it makes her sound a bit of an idiot!

Dd says YOLO all the time and that irritates me

For the love of Christ who makes this shit up? FOMO should be banned!

And anyone who uses it deserved to miss the fuck out!

I just read a women's magazine. As a result, I have a few more:

HAIR - Christmas "updos" that involve putting hair into a "pony"

FASHION - "Rocking a look"

MAKEUP - Making your cheeks/lips "pop"

Hate "anyhoo" but don't know why?

I've seen "me an' me bae" around. Have a cousin who uses it, lovely girl, she also misses out, or liberally adds extra letters to lots of words too. "Meee annnddd meee bae guna go forrr a meeeaaallll, yuuuum! Thennn snuggel in front of da X Factorrrrrr! Looooool".
At the risk of sounding completely out of the loop, is it pronounced 'bay'?

It irritates the fuck out of me nonetheless.

'Looooooool'

it must be like communicating with a rare marsh bird.

Hashcray tagballs lol

Colourways - die

AW/14 - fuck off.

YANBU. It's ridiculous.

I use and love 'Hell to the no' and 'Totes' but I like to think I do so ironically.

I also do air-quotes.

Some of you would hate me.

I can't stand 'hun' (a friend writes it to me in texts; I love her but it makes me want to strangle her).

'My bad' makes me want to scream. Are you three years old? No? Then talk properly you twat.

I also hate the overuse of 'proper' as in 'I was proper pissed last night', and also in restaurants and cafes etc that insist on having on their signs and menus 'proper coffee' or 'proper burgers' etc. It's OVER. Stop it.

Yes to A/W.
I also hate babes and "the girls". Ffs you are a grown fucking woman/man.
And the latest fucking annoying travesty at school is "bantaaah" said in cod sawf lunnen accent. As in "we are having a bit of bantaah miss" no you are being a cheeky twunt.

With regards to the make up/fashion post above, a Smokey eye or a red lip makes me murderous! What, just the one? !!
Also anything that is a 'statement' it's not a statement coat, it's just a fucking coat!

And don't get me started on pan fried. .....

I cannot be annoyed by "updo" I'm afraid or "pony" for that matter. I trained in hairdressing many moons prior to wanky, beanbag, treasure hunt office and they are correct terms y'know

Famalam was surely a record by the bay City Rollers?

Another one here for holibobs.

I just want to scream at people who use this stupid sounding none word - its soooo annoying.

I also have an irrational hatred of adults wearing crocs

Yellow, I hate crocs too. But then I'm an adult who wears jelly shoes, so I really can't judge.

Can you please add YOLO to this list?

Excellent. For workplace purposes, can we combine businessballs with exclamatory hipsterisms? I'll start, but my on-toes responsivity quotient may be scoring in the low quadrant as I'm totes cray-cray #fuckingexhausted #needtosleep.

Gimme some amazeballs granularity, yo! I wanna see that shit totes cascading to downstream, proper fast like, ya get me? Gogo, famalam, rock information communication to the max! Let's quote de-silo quote, dudes, we are hashtag ossom hashtag speed-disseminators.

Feeling motivated? Me either

urgh. "Five sleeps to holibobs." Once I've checked my friends' FB accounts haven't been hijacked by their three-year-olds, I want to strangle them. Thoroughly.

Oh God ... I have a friend - old and generally sound - who becomes a complete liability on line as she does the lot - anyhoo, holibobs, hun, amazeballs ... I love her but I'm thinking about blocking her on Faceache as she's doing my head in! ( Waits with bated breath for someone to object to doing my head in ... )

Doing my head in is good in my books...

Although from another poster "to the max" bleurgh!

Not read whole thread but, OP, you need to read column in Guardian - it's a spoof of SamCam by Catherine Bennett I think. Full of such words. Tis very funny IMO - though not sure I've ever heard SC talking so no idea of she does talk this.

It's americanisms and uncalled for cuteness that call down the red rage ...

Also dainty swearing. I used to work with someone who said sugar and fudge when she meant something far more pithy and she never knew how close she came to being found in a ditch behind the car park with a stapler imbedded in her forehead ...
