Post by: jiji on August 15, 2013, 04:54:53 PM: "tight"
"jacked up"
most slang uses of the word "jack"
"mad" as a synonym for "a lot of" or "really"
pretty much any portmanteau neologism

Post by: Olivia Wilde Homo on August 15, 2013, 05:48:39 PM: Totes, deets, basically any shortening of existing words. We went through this in the 90s, decided we hated it, and now these motherfuckers want to bring it back.

Also, while I don't hate "salt", it really got overused. It's being used less and less now but holy fuck.

Also the phrase I will love forever: "u mad?"

"Legit" is annoying.

I cant hate on swag, its a 90s baby classic. Swagged the fuck out, feeling like an 11, fuck my bitch based god.

I've seen like a bunch of posts just today using "legit shook." People really know how to run shit into the ground.

I guess it's not really slang, but I hate it regardless.

"Legit" and "Epic" bother me. I hated "epic" when it first started getting used the way it is now, long before it got run into the ground.

On the note, I hate the phrase "of the world'. As in

"The Barrack Obamas and Nancy Pelosis of the world are trying to take away our freedoms, and it's up to the Sean Hannities and Glenn Becks of the world to put a stop to it."

and such of that nature.

Post by: lennedsay on August 16, 2013, 12:46:27 AM: Y'all are legit ridic.

I don't mind slang and dumb sayings. I used to be opposed to most of that shit, but I stopped caring and use it to be silly, especially at work. I'm now more against office politics than slang, so I do my part in ruining hope of acceptable office etiquette. Our entire dept's behavior is pretty much uncontrollable, so no point in professionalism now.

To manager: "Ooh got your email o snark. No joke boss, I researched that high tax rate, and it's legit. Totes ridic I know!"

spoiler (click to show/hide)
On multiple occasions now, I've heard my boss say "epic fail" and "fail". We ridiculed her to no end but she cares even less.

jabroni as a word is definitely terrible, which is why it is a great insult to sling at a bro.
