    the English language is shortened because Gen Y's (or after Gen Y's) are becoming increasingly lazy and soon our vocabulary will consist of mere acronyms worst than what they conjure up now.

    Guy in the office just then goes what the hell is a 'me me' hahaha

    by the way I loved this: 2. Slut-WHY would a grown woman use this word? I mean we've all gone home with some Rico Suave after too many cosmo's, right? Rico Suave hahaha

    Did you know 'slore' exist? I heard it on here once and was utterly disgusted; it's integrating *kitten* and sl***.

    I'm going to post a list of words that I use on a regular basis, but first, let me take a selfie...

    Done, here we go!

    Totes
    Amazeballs
    Sassy
    Cool beans
    Selfie
    Epic fail
    Chillax
    Yummy
    That's what she said
    I know, right?
    I can't even
    Crunk
    Twerk

    I'm 23, does that class me as a grown adult? I'd like to think it doesn't. Otherwise, I'm going to have to change a lot of my vocab - I can't even, that's such an epic fail, some cray-cray *kitten*. Oh well, I'm gonna go twerk and crunk (burn some calories from my totes yummy dinner) then just chillax, gonna be amazeballs. Coz I'm sassy.

    Although, no-one in the history of forever should use the word moist. EVER

    haha this was an epic post especially the selfie bit. That song is going off over here. WHY WHY WHY

    I must say I do say "That's what she said" because I saw it in some movie but it was extremely comical and less premediated.

    I now propose that since the young ppl want to lay claim to a whole bunch of words for themselves that they think they made up (and granted some of them they did), that old ppl just make up their own words to mean things. AND NO YOUNG PEOPLE MAY USE THEM.

    Old people have plenty of their own words (sayings) that no young person would ever use:
    jiminy crickets
    swell
    bee's knees
    hogwash
    mind your Ps and Qs
    peachy keen
    Nincompoop
    fiddlesticks
    hooch

    Phrases now approved for overuse:

    I was so not okay with that (anything with so-not)
    Taken aback (really? what does that look like?)
    poster boy (I never have to use this in writing)
    matter of factly (instead of "casually")
    stunning! (is pretty no longer enough?)
    It was like a movie! (because Hollywood is the source of all life)
    Uber urban contemporary wow factor (I don't know what this means)
    Amazing (must be used at least 47 times in the "reveal" act of all makeover shows)
    So amazing (ibid)
    Oh my God! (ibid)

    jelly

    even though for the life of me i cant see why, I respect you decision not to say "jelly", but what you use instead, gelatine?

    Partay is my contribution.

    In most conversations, "That's what she said" is a suitable response.

    These curiously strong reactions to such a silly thing make me really glad I'm a paranoid shut in. LOL.

    Never heard of a pet peeve huh? I wish I was as cool and disaffected as you

    that's totally cray cray

    LOL. I say cray-cray to my kids all the time because it drives them.....cray-cray.

    Seriously, I say it for the eye roll I always get in return. It's so worth it. But I would never say it any other time.

    I do this to my kids all the time! they hate it but it makes me happy haha

    HUBBY...IF YOU SAY HUBBY GTFO

    For some reason this really annoys me as well.

    Also, using hashtags when not on twitter or instagram. What's the point of hashtags on MFP? Just type out what you want to say.
