    "no worries."
    "OMG." I think I have heard enough OMGs to last a lifetime. As far as "no worries" or "no problem," you are better off just saying nothing.

    "loose weight" - I know this sounds controversial but I really hate it
    "TOM" (I have no idea what is this mean)

    Other than that I don't know anything more since I'm not that good with the English language (just my 3rd language actually).

    I hate text talk. Text me in normal words and sentences WITH punctuation please!! It also drives me crazy when people mix up similar sounding words with different meanings. For example "I except that you don't like this." It's ACCEPT people!!! Grrrrr

    ^^^Both of these!
    I punctuate and proofread my text messages before sending them. :happy:
    I hate having to read comments five times in order to understand what the person is actually trying to say..:grumble:

    Use of the word "viable" to describe something that's not alive anyway. "It's a viable program." "This option is no longer viable."

    I don't want to hijack this thread and turn it into a religious debate, but I feel I have to respond to the idea that the New Testament is about love, happiness, and respect. It is a lot more "calm" than the Old Testament, but it's still pretty bad. We can find a great anti-family verse in Matthew 19 where Jesus says that "every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life." That's a love-filled, happy, respectful idea.

    In Mark 5 Jesus decides to send "unclean spirits" into 2,000 pigs and forces them to drown in the sea. That's pretty love-filled, happy, and respectful. Luke 12 tells us to fear God because he has the power to commit us to eternal misery. But God loves you. John 3 makes it clear that it really doesn't matter what kind of life you live, but that your afterlife is determined only by your belief. Non-believers will be tortured, and believers will be be eternally happy. That's definitely loving, happy, and respectful.

    In Acts 5 God kills Sapphira and her husband for withholding money from him. Loving? This is another good indication of God's "mob boss" mentality. God is basically a very bad man holding a gun to your head saying "believe in me and give me everything or I will pull the trigger." happy?

    There are numerous other examples of very unloving, unhappy, disrespectful verses in the New Testament, but I'll leave it at this for now. If you'd like to know the rest please message me so that we don't hijack this topic. :flowerforyou:

    I like you

    "no worries."

    Please do NOT say this in Hawaii. You'll just end up sounding like a wanna-be local who's trying to speak Pidgin. If you really must try the phrase, say it right...

    "NO WORRY!!!" (as in NOH-WHIR-RAY)...you can also follow it with "beef curry" for good measure. :wink:

    Er Mami is shortened for "Mamasita" which is our way of saying "you look hot"... We use it all the time as a form of endearment or compliment & not just to address our mother.

    YOLO. Also, retarded (even if you don't mean it in a hurtful way, it hurts people)


    Thank you! I have commented many times on the 'r' word and it's good to see someone else advocating to not use it for idiot, stupid, etc. With me, it's personal!!

    How's about?
    Moving forward....

    "Shark Week"

    Almost spit out my beer laughing at that. I've never heard that one before; I'm going to start using it.
