    I'm way too laid back to care about people using slang words honestly. I joke around a lot and use probably half the phrases mentioned, but in business and serious communications, I don't. Life is short; relax! (Notice I refrained from saying "YOLO!" lol)

    And BTW: I'm a 26 year old, married mother of two :flowerforyou:
  • dis

    just stop it! It's not cute or funny :angry:
  • Too funny!!! You Rachet!
  • I'm reversing this just a bit as an adult can use whatever word(s) s/he chooses. As a listening adult you can choose to hear or not hear them. So just to name a few of my favs

    mos def
    finnna
    hella
    bofum
    coo
    aight

    I'm 31 and I say almost all of these!!?!?! :-/

    ...My bad...

    *I couldn't resist...

    You're in good company.....I'm glad my friends aren't apart of the verbiage squad!

    I use a lot of the words on the 'banned' list as well and I'm 38. My hubby (heh heh) uses "cool beans" a lot and he's going to be 45.

    In all honesty I speak how I feel. If I'm in a business situation I'm obviously not going to use any of those words but casual, with friends, husband, out and about? Yeah.

    I think it's rather silly and ridiculous to put age limits on things that people say, do or wear.

    regarding mummy. i am pretty sure that persons living in England and such call their mother mummy. as far as all the other phrases and words and ebonics mentioned, there are some that i use, but it is determined by who i am speaking with. i work with some young adults and this is their only language. some of the words/phrases irritate me more than others, but i wouldn't "smack" anyone.

    Nor Cal born and raised, I will say hella until the day I die.

    The only one that really bothers me is yolo. Its grammatical incorrectness bothers me for some reason; it should be yloo. On the same note "anyways" bothers me also. It's not a word and it's sh!tty slang, isn't slang supposed to shorten and simplify speech?

    But, we all do things that annoy others and we all make mistakes. So in the name of live and let live, say whatever you d*mn well please, after all yloo!

    'Mummy' and 'Daddy'

    Oh, this! I know someone who is 42 years old and still calls her father "daddy". Then again, she still lives with him, so that shouldn't be surprising.

    My dad and all of his brothers (5 boys total) still call my grandpa Daddy. I ALWAYS thought it was weird because I never called my dad, daddy. They call my grandmother Dorp, though so I really don't know. Also, my boyfriend's parents refer to each other as mommy and daddy and I hate that. Most of the time he refers to his dad by his nickname manolo, but his parents still say things like, "daddy's doing this or that" or "are you going to mommy's house"...drives me nuts!
