fads and phrases and annoying things we are sick of 2009

16. whatevs

17) "OH NOM NOM"

om not oh

18) skinny jeans ugh

19) dressing up like an insect and then taking pictures of yourself and putting them on facebook

is that a thing? i do not know this thing

20) leaving the toilet seat up

21) not taking off your hat when a lady enters the room

that is the worst!

22) really big plastic eyeglasses like the state used to issue the kids with Downs syndrome

usually i take a toilet seat off when a lady leaves the room, which is more or less the same thing.

23) failing to lace up your petticoat in a manner which befits the etiquette of the times

24) worrying that ones favorite tv show is on the decline

25) people who own yachts

26) not being able to afford a yacht

1) not taking off your hat when a lady enters the room

27) "I Can Haz..."

27) ray ban wayfarers everywhere

(28)

wayfarers + plaid + skinny jeans = extremely tired fashion choices, but I'm still ok with skinny jeans in other contexts

29) indie anything

30. synth-punk

Yeah I'm over terrible 80s retro fashion especially because kids are taking the WORST PARTS OF IT (bad sunglasses, horrible fluro colours, ill fitting tight jeans, stupid hair) and ignoring all the fine 80s new wave stuff that looked awesome, but I am hating kids that age getting defensive and stroppy at me for mocking them, even more so.

31) Bacon

32) things i've been doing for years becoming irritating fads

what is the 'fine 80s new wave stuff that looked awesome' that they're not taking??

33. Oh no! Julie Tweebody found a purple piglet with one leg on her farm. Join Farmville now or we'll shoot it in the face.

I dunno, I'm thinking about things like pirate shirts and velvet knickerbocker pants... the more elaborate, elegant side of the new wave stuff. Duran Duran/Human Leage/David Sylvian kind of thing. Yeah there's people doing that too but not many.

Oh I do wear bad sunglasses still. But with reasonable hair and muted colors!

many xposts

Needs a new thread really, but - wearing chintz curtains?

34. Cupcakes.

on that note

35. way too many boutique ice cream shops

I'm still ok with skinny jeans in other contexts

did they used to look better? were they cut different? i was wondering about this because i don't remember earlier iterations having quite the same ghastly effect (i.e. making skinny people look like famine victims and everyone else look like spongebob).

I am pretty sure that if the hip young things dressed like that today, they would be a number on this list

36. Facebook Petitions "Ten Million Strong For/Against Blah Blah Blah"

37. acronyms

Bobblehatcunts

22) really big plastic eyeglasses like the state used to issue the kids with Downs syndrome

this

And yeah the Foodie thing is the most horrible thing going today by far.

39) people bragging about how they're not on facebook

33. Oh no! Julie Tweebody found a purple piglet with one leg on her farm. Join Farmville now or we'll shoot it in the face.

Farmville was why they invented the 'Hide' option, imo.

40. banning cankles

I'm actually ok with the cut of, say, the Levis skinny fit jeans, it's just the combo with the sort of oversized untucked plaid shirt (and the ray bans when outdoors) that I don't need to see anymore.

39) people bragging about how they're not on facebook

is this a fad?

I wear skinny fit jeans because I think I look really dopey in straight fit, which I used to wear. Too much fabric flapping around!

41. 'curators', 'curated by...' etc

42. Annie

43. Being made redundant and all the fucking bollocks that goes with it.

...don't know if it's a fad though.

44. Skinny jeans on guys that are deliberately designed with a saggy, hanging-down arse area, worn so the entire underpant butt area is visible.

WHAT IS THIS.

a form of natural selection, be thankful for it

maybe - i remember it from highschool - which was late 80s/early 90s - could very well have come from an 80s movie

I did get a mean laugh at the movie theater though when Sally Struthers came on in a pre-film commercial and said something like "I look and feel the best I ever have"

and I semi-ironically yelled out "BULLSHIT". I was more making fun of dumb humor than of Sally Struthers though.

maybe - i remember it from highschool - which was late 80s/early 90s - could very well have come from an 80s movie

didn't it come from "The Breakfast Club"?

people definitely still did the "bullshit" throat clear when i was in middle school in the early-mid 90s

its certainly in it

we also said "I Hearrrrrrrrrrrrd that!" when someone got dissed

and in elementary school there was "GO SUCK AN EGG"

"crazy talk" seems extremely lazy

:/ i say that all the time. i am extremely lazy tbf.

speaking of laaaazy ... it's almost the end of 2010

"crazy talk" feels almost like it might be a simpsons thing?

Indian: That's crazy talk!
Bart: No, it's true.
Indian: No, I know, that's my brother, Crazy Talk.

"tekkers", as propagated by soccer am twats iirc. cannot stand it.

"do work"
"hot mess"

"tekkers", as propagated by soccer am twats iirc. cannot stand it.

^ this. Also my husband has taken to saying it, presume he thinks because I watch Soccer AM that I think this is a thing. I don't.

there may be a new thread for this that i didnt find, but search sux:

really tired of people saying, like, "i luh dis" and "really doe." stop.

i basically mean "typing"

Bae

I had my kids do a last day of school activity where they made a poster correcting a common mistake they do in writing or see in their classmates'. One guy drew a giant frowny face and under it wrote "why does everyone write bae instead of babe?" like full of genuine confusion.

Wait I 100% legit thought "bae" was meant to represent "boy" said in a comedy Scottish accent
