fads and phrases and annoying things we are sick of 2009

I'm all for job titles like "sandiwch artists" that give a little dignity.

i'd feel a bit undignified with a job title that contains a typo

i dislike fancy or uber-pretentious job titles, even when I have them myself

I'm all for job titles like "sandiwch artists" that give a little dignity.

Traditionally, the more grandiose the job label, the shittier the job.

exactly. i was a Media Specialist once when really all I did was tell someone where the crappy Harvey Danger cds were and put crap on shelves.

"Trad" instead of "traditional". It sounds like a preppy boy's name.

now people can't say "i miss you." they have to say "i miss your face"

i miss @ ur face?

"yeppers"

"ain't difficult to make a dang sandwich"

i've bought some very poorly constructed sandwiches before so i believe the opposite must exist, someone who can really save a mediocre to poor sandwich purely through skill.

now people can't say "i miss you." they have to say "i miss your face"

yeah I have been decidedly not feeling this for some time - associate it with a fairly specific indieish sort of girl but this might just say more about the company I keep tbf

I find it shocking + disturbing that in 2010 people are still saying, "i threw up a little in my mouth."

I am gonna start going around saying "I miss your ballz"

I really hate it when people write 'woop woop'.

in what context

I always get "Welcome to Woop Woop" mixed up with "Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert".

yes, woop woop is inexcusable

I hate "Huzzah!"

in what context

On Facebook, for example: "Jane Smith can't wait for the weekend! Woop woop!"

Also w00t.

people who say w00t irl are the worst

I have a friend who sometimes says 'el oh el' irl in a really deadpan voice, it's actually quite funny.

people who say 'weak sauce'

^^^

what does that even mean

it means the thing which needs to to be omg flavorbomb is not so much

At work edition: the abuse of "leverage" by all mid-level managers

real talk is bad, weak sauce is worse
use of "-face" as a suffix is bad

drunkface, etc. is this local?

sadly not

i am very sick of aggro bicyclists w/o helmets

it is the new 'not picking up my dog's shit'

still kinda like real talk

is that a fad though

is 'put that in your pipe and smoke it' a fad? because i think it is supremely annoying and might want to use it in class

Haha, I quite like 'put that in your pipe'. It sounds charmingly old-fashioned to me.

"OH NOM NOM"

haha. great typo.

yeah its old as hell

"good times" x2

in the 90s there was this spate of people saying goodbye or leaving a party by saying "it's been real... and it's been fun... but it hasn't been real fun.." like for NO REASON other than they thought it sounded clever but it just made them sound like dicks

^^^

what I hate is how I say some of the things mentioned on this thread without thinking, because I am old as hell, and don't even realize how annoying they are - even to me. this thread helps me purge certain things from my vocabulary. Deadpan "good times" being one of them.

you will take my "good times" from my cold, dead hands

when someone kills you for still saying it in 2012

whenever someone says "good times" like that, it makes me want to sing the theme song to the Good Times tv show - sometimes I do, esp. the "temporary layoffs" lyric

I can't think of the "temporary layoffs" lyric without the following "easy credit rip-offs" lyric.

The expression 'you say that like it's a bad thing'

xp - that song is a real jam

On Facebook, for example: "Jane Smith can't wait for the weekend! Woop woop!"

never heard it used this way! woop woop is australian for bumfuck egypt

People's choice of ironic expressions tends to inadvertently reveal things about them imo.
