I’m fed up with the word ping.

[MotionActivatedDog]

I’ve seen it so many times on this forum over the last few days the word doesn’t even look right anymore. Even worse- pinged! No one was pinged. You can’t ping a person. Ping is a sound.

There- I’ve used up the entire “ping” quota for the rest of the century. You’ll all have to think of a different word to use now.

I apologise, sincerely.

But I just couldn't resist.

Love Quarantini! The New Bloody Normal can do one though.

Ping is very much a verb, and has been used in that way for years in the tech world.

Yes, it absolutely has.

Daily mail has currently an article with "United Pingdom". Genious 😁

I quite like pingdemic, which has taken over my previous favourite pannyd

My bets noir is texted as in "I texted you"

Possibly only topped by "I was sat"

I knew the minute I heard Brexit that was going to make me feel murderous many times a day for many years

Welcome to the United Pingdom

FFS bete noir, I don't say chester draws I promise

The word 'Brexit' is the main reason I couldn't listen to the news for three years afterwards.

I know someone who says textses. As in “I got three textses from test and trace yesterday”

'Excited for' really irritates me these days too. Sadly I hear it a lot as I have an eleven year old.

I promise, I won't use it anywhere else!

Oh god OP don't bold my idiocy for all to see or I'll ping right at you!

I'm also fed up of the word Ping being overused lately... so anyone who uses it more than once day can 'Ping-off' as far as I'm concerned!

PINGDEMIC

I love the word “ping!”

I love all onomatopoeia!

My apologies 😀

'Called out'.

Just say disagreed with. Please.

I don’t like “ping” to describe an alert from the NHS covid app. Trivialises the whole thing.

But I was pushed over the edge by the Op on her who called an email from test and trace a “ping”. That’s not a ping even in this new usage.

It's literally the only good thing to come out of covid- didn't hear fucking Brexit for ages!

This OP?! I really hope not, because if so I smell BS and she's not actually fed up with the word. Probably started it just to use the word.You just can't trust anyone these days! I was so invested in the thread.
