Phrases and words that just have to go.

[-AC80-]

"claim you compensation now" this must be ERADICATED

 

[Cid Silverwing]

Racist words.

Not going to say them here as I'm sure everyone knows which ones I'm talking about. They just need to die.

The finger snap for those not in the know is when you kinda flick your wrist with your thumb and middle finger tip touching and you whip your index finger into them. Best I can describe it, and yes I can still do it *cries*

My friends and I only do that in irony these days, but it's still annoying when people do it seriously

And that's actual irony, not the kind that people use in the sentence "well that's ironic!" when it really isn't.... Idiots.

 

[samstewiefisher]

Wow ive never seem so many grammer Nazis in oneplace before.

 

[Not-here-anymore]

Use of the word 'literally' in a context where the event could not actually have transpired.

Or, in normal English, when someone says something like 'And he literally exploded!'. No. Unless the person to whom you are referring has just spontaneously combusted, chances are they have not literally exploded at all.

That's been happening more and more lately. I hate it.

For me, my most hated is using "beast" as an adjective. I hear annoying teenagers say it all the time "Dude, that is beast!" Shut the **** up! Augh!

My teenage cousin says "lawl" in place of laughter. God. Damn. It's. Annoying. My head literally explodes.

Dude, you deliberately misused literally! That is beast!

Although I've never heard 'beast' as an adjective before. Occasionally as a verb though - 'I just beasted that level!' for example

 

[ethaninja]

People who say acronyms such as omg, lol, rofl and such, or shortened versions of things like soz for sorry.

All other ways to say the word bro/brother need to go such as brah, bruz, brew etc.
Now the next it not a word but something that just HAS TO GO: Flat caps or whatever the fuck. I can't walk the streets without seeing a single one wearing that douchey hat.

Haha it's the haven for grammer nazis. Perhaps you should post something such as this: aw d00d u shood tttly etc etc.. just to really get on their nerves

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

lol

XD is just so much better...

 

[ethaninja]

I almost turned around and threw my iced tea in his face.

Haha, you had Iced Tea.

But seriously, here's a couple of things that have to stop.

FAIL
WIN
CAKE! (and the ambiguous truth surrounding it)

So bored with all the above.

Mmm or epic. Those things have been done to death. Now I don't mind old ones that died a long time ago, we can bring them back, just as long as they go once they get old again.

 

[Broady Brio]

"FML."

Go live in a 3rd world country you ungrateful person.

[Sir Strange Of The House Lycan]

Brutal and fuck buddy.
Two phrases that send me into a indescribable rage.

 

[nick n stuff]

LOL. i hated it when it was just a text speak thing but now that people have resorted to actually saying it rather than laughing it's gone too far. i'm sure it will be in the dictionary soon but i hope it gets nipped in the bud before that.

"Be sure to join the _______ Facebook Fan Page." and "Be sure to follow us on Twitter."

Fuck Facebook, fuck Twitter, and fuck everyone telling me to join/follow their stupid Facebook and Twitter pages every two seconds.

Also, "could care less." The phrase is "couldn't care less", and if you say could instead, you deserve a punch in the face. But since they haven't perfected "punching people in the face via internet" technology yet, I'll have to settle for posting this at them:

One more: "epic." The only time I want to hear the word "epic" is in proper nouns, such as the development studio "Epic Games". Otherwise, shut the hell up with "epic" already. "Epic" trailers, "epic" screenshots, "epic" story, "epic" characters... Enough! Pretty soon, people will be telling us about the "epic pocket lint" they found in their jeans today.

 

[con70solo]

I hate the phrase "my baby's mama" or any thing like it.

it just annoys the crap out of me

One more: "epic." The only time I want to hear the word "epic" is when talking about the development studio called "Epic Games." Otherwise, shut the hell up with "epic" already. "Epic" trailers, "epic" screenshots, "epic" story, "epic" characters... Enough! Pretty soon, people will be telling us about the "epic pocket lint" they found in their jeans today.

So we're not permitted to use "epic" to describe actual "epics" (y'know, poems from the root word "epos"?) or trademarked games (e.g. Epic 40,000) which use the word to describe the scale of the game (accurate use of the word), but are quite happy to use the term "Epic Games" which has roots probably more linked with the "lol that was epix man!" crowd than the literary crowd.
