I agree 100 percent with you on this one...drives me nuts when other wise intelligent people speak like that

 

[Keith Mickunas]

The first place I heard "my bad" was in Cartman Gets an Anal Probe and it was said by the new visitor who turned the cows inside-out. So I think it's hella-cool. Has anybody heard it prior to that?

 

[Malcolm R]

u know whut i'm sayin'?

I would if you actually spoke a real language!

 

[DaveF]

We used "knob" in a derogatory way in high school, taken from Bob and Doug MacKenzie. This also gave us "take off" and "hoser."

These '80s phrases are, like, totally rad!

This thread is tits, big, fat , sweaty Oprah tits!

 

[Drew Bethel]

Shut up before I smoke your ass!

DaveF,

My buddy from San Francisco dropped "cool beans" on me a few years ago, about the time Java (the programming language) was becoming popular. Coincidence?

I don't know where he first heard it.

This thread is "bout-it, bout-it". The one slag that drives me nuts, but only when my mom says it is, "awesome", ugh!!

 

[Mike Wladyka]

you go girl

Please retire:

"Don't go there." Declarative.

"Don't even go there!" Exclamatory!

"Don't even..." Hanging pause. When brevity is required.

"Let's not go there." Reflexive, and somewhat contemplative.

"Let us not go there." Formal, slightly archaic. See also: "Let us not venture forthwith."

"Let's don't go there." Slang.

And...

I have no need to talk to anyone's hand, foot or any particular body part, thank you very much. Please retire all variants of the command "talk to the _______ !"

 

[Al.Anderson]

I think you're barking up the wrong tree objecting to "my bad". I see it as a mordern extention of the "mea culpa". And if its been around that long your grave stone will have decayed before it goes out of style.

Personally, I want to smash things when I hear "anyhoo".

I also still use cool; though I feel very old when I do.

Cool beans wasn't in when it was in. Only ditzy girls used it as far as I can tell.

 

[RobertR]

I hate the use of the word "sick" as a synonym for "impressive", as in "the movie had sick bass". Ugh.

 

[Brian Perry]

My bad is cool...NOT!

 

[Mike Wladyka]

i can't stand when people say "you do the math"

"think outside the box" is also played out

 

[BrettB]

"Played out" is also played out.

This thread is killer bees, but it has no gravitas.

And please stop using the term hottie, makes you sound like a 6 yr. old.

 

[Mike Wladyka]

i concur, it was my attempt at humor.

 

[BrettB]

Ah, the old "to smilie or not to smilie" situation.

No prob.

 

[CalvinCarr]

This thread has "a little sumthin sumthin" for everyone.
Kinda "Whicked cool" if you ask me.
