    YOLO. I hate it. It's so stupid I would punch it in the face if it had one.

    I know you hate it, but can somebody use "yolo" in context? I have no concept of what that even means...

    You say some dumb thing you did like, "I drank until I passed out, then I woke up and barfed on my mom's carpet. YOLO!"

    Yes! I want to make people repeat after me:
    "When you LOSE weight, your clothes get LOOSE."

    It stands for "You only live once" and comes from a song (rap I think- not sure because I don't listen to that type of music most of the time). Kids are using it to justify stupid behavior (like the sentence the other poster used). Every time I see/hear it I want to yell "No duh, you only live once- what do you think you are, a cat?!?!!" :laugh:

    Journey. Anybody who says the word Journey and doesn't bust into song deserves to be kicked in the head.
    Thanks. Now I have it stuck in my head.

    Most words I'm okay with, but slang like "obvi," "totes," "defo," etc. make me sad.

    biddy81 "yolo" is short for "you only live once" - which, although true, is not really a good reason to barf on anyone's couch..

    "Definately" , yes, I definitely hate that! Along with "probly". I taught ESL, so I usually try to keep my grammar/ spelling twitches to myself, thanks for the space to vent!
