Nobody says it anymore. I wouldn’t worry about it!

ThePants999 · 25/01/2018 21:06

Wait, people don't like me saying this? Yikes... my bad!

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 25/01/2018 21:06

scoop I'd only ever say My Bad to irritate my teens, never IRL , I am far too ancient .

DS says "Chintzy" as in don't be mean/tight/scroogey

directsunlight · 25/01/2018 21:07

I say it in an exaggerated American accent on order to get a laugh out of my teenaged DC. They chuckle and roll their eyes in a "my mother is so embarrassing" sort of way.

directsunlight · 25/01/2018 21:07

Oh snap, 70s, cross post. My bad.

Only1scoop · 25/01/2018 21:07

I'm normally quite laid back about language but I'm with Worra about the "So" .It's EVERYWHERE! Just start the fucking sentence, no need for "So"! Grrrr.

SoozeyHoozey · 25/01/2018 21:13

I hate "you got this" or "we got this" etc as a term of encouragement/determination l. Bleuch 🤮

Plumes · 25/01/2018 21:17

I like 'eyebrows on fleek' because it's so absurd.

edwinbear · 25/01/2018 21:17

I had a fiery exchange of words with a mate who doesn't speak English as his first language the other day over this. I asked him to translate into English what he meant by 'his bad', as it didn't make sense and wasn't a proper English sentence.

He told me it was, his English teacher (also not English as a first language) told him it was.

It got very heated Grin. My boss also uses it, it makes me want to stitch his mouth up.

It just means 'my eyebrows look great'. It became a thing when an American teen filmed a vine of herself saying this whilst admiring her eyebrows Grin

StealthPolarBear · 25/01/2018 21:21

What does fleek actually mean?
Someone mentioned "wait, what?" on here a couple of weeks ago and I have never noticed it before but it's now popping up everywhere!

StealthPolarBear · 25/01/2018 21:21

X post. But is fleek meant to be a word? A cross between sleek and something else?

StealthPolarBear · 25/01/2018 21:22

Another one that I am guilty of is using the word like instead of said.
"and she was like wait... What?"

Sarahh2014 · 25/01/2018 21:23

I hate it when obviously is said several times in a sentence with no relevance.Think I've been watching too much Jeremy kyle

Pepperedbeef · 25/01/2018 21:23

Also “fierce”. It irritated me the most when used by a woman who went on the women’s march last year when dealing with a comment from some rat that she must be a man. She said “I’m feminine, I went on the March with a fierce eyeliner flick”. Annoying, and an inherently stupid comment overall.

honeyroar · 25/01/2018 21:32

I detest it too. It's like people are trying (and succeeding!) to sound stupid (to excuse whatever they're apologising for perhaps?).

SheRasBra · 25/01/2018 21:33

I hate 'with' used on its own e.g. "You can come with". Very American but starting to infect UK teen language.

I die a little inside every time I hear it....

YearOfYouRemember · 25/01/2018 21:33

It's just part of the dumbing down that is going on now.
