I am so fricking tired of "bling". Barbara Walters used it to describe the Queen's Crown Jewels in that special last week.

Yeah, really.

OP, You went to High School in the mid/late 90s, didn't you?

PS. I miss late 80s surfer talk like:

"dude!"
"radical!"
"wicked!"
"gnarly!"
"tubular!"

That was around in the late 70's/early 80's.

And early '90s too... look at the Star World Special Stage level names in 1991's "Super Mario World." I consider mid-late '80s the epicenter of its usage myself.

Bodacious.

SON.

fvcking stupid. I wanna slap the kid who's trying to be above you b saying that.

 

[spittledip]

gamer slang:

"own" (or any deviation)
"sit"

other stuff:

don't go there
Do what? (they say this down south instead of saying "what" or "excuse me")
Iight (instead of alright)
No you di-int (didn't)
Sweet
awesome
dude
chillax
brah
son
bling
hollah (this one has been more than irritating from the very beginning)
hella (makes no sense)
playa
sending a "shout out" to someone
"That rocks!" or any use of the word "rock" that way- it sounds so stupid
dawg (or dog or whatever)

I am sure there is more but I can't be arsed to remember right now

I hate "my bad." because it's a sorry excuse for "I'm sorry" and lacks the same message.

Oh, and being from the "Yay Area," I get exposed to a fairly large amount of slang day to day. Even so, I'm beginning to fall behind. The other day, I heard a kid say he was wearing "stunna shadez in his scrapper," and I had no idea what that meant.

I guess the transition from being the hip teenager to the square old fart is a gradual one.

he was saying he had on nice sun glasses in his older car with big rims. The rims scrape around corners sometimes because you're really not supposed to put 22" on a 83 Buick so it leads to problems with scraping.

The Bay Area is home to some of the craziest slang out there, I laugh when I hear the kids up there talk. The best was the whistle things they were putting on their car tail pipes up there a few years ago. I could only imagine how annoying that was, can't even imaging how bad it had to be for the people actually in the car!

the YAY area lol.

I say cool beans, which is probably the whitest slang word outside of straight down south people saying fixin to as a replacement for "going to"

hella is a good word. I use that too, so it sort of evens out my whiteness when I say cool beans.

"it's for decker-ration" LOL

 

[imported_yovonbishop]

I hate "gravy" and "groovy". I never understood either of those terms. It's retarded.

Also, "cool beans", "flossy" whatever the hell that means, and "dawg".

[EngenZerO]

balla

 

[BrownTown]

A few from internet forums:

-sheeple
-appologist

Basically I want to punch anyone who says either of those in the face, its one of those things where if I am reading a post and then someone uses one of them no matter what else they said they are instantly wrong, kind of like bringing up Nazis or being blatantly racist or something, they are just words with no use other than trolling and inciting rage (and apparently now that I think about it they work on me ).

Also, alot of the gamer slang annoys me, I play computer games moderately and while I am not exactly old at 22 I still feel sorta like I am at least 5 years to old to find anything all these higher schooler gamers say as funny or incitefull, just get over your teenage ainst people.

That's one of the best videos on YouTube, Bubb Rubb is hilarious, and I laugh my ass off at the end when he zooms off in his Nissan swerving into oncoming traffic lanes and proceeds to run the stop sign speeding - all caught on camera. WHOO WHOOO!

with that said, I'm damn glad I don't live in the YAY Area, as funny as I find the videos I don't think first hand dealings with Bubb Rubb would be as cute

I hate basically any phrase that is used repeatedly in place of actual conversations.
"Thats what she said" comes to mind readily.

Other then that, I can tolerate most slang (though the excessive use of texting language, anywhere, is really annoying, even in text messages.)

With that in mind, I have a roomate that says about 3 phrases to me, I laughed the first time they where said, snickered the second, and now don't respond at all to them. It just starts to get annoying, like hearing the same song on the radio every other song (while every other song played are played just as often)

scro

[Miklebud]
