Look, there seems to be a real disconnect here with the nonHTF world, which is just now learning to think outside the box and to appreciate widescreen. Which means I think they'll realize how old school pan-and-scan is. That's the situation on the ground, I think. Having said that, I'll say no more.

"Whatever....Like gag me with a spoon."

 

[Rob Gardiner]

How about "Betty". That one was popular when I was in high school (late 80s).

 

[Tony Whalen]

Call me old fashioned, but I still like 'sheesh' at times.

And yeah, "my bad" just makes me wanna GAG. Don't go there...

*Tony ducks and looks around for Angelo*

Jack, 1994 called, it wants its disillusioned, sarcastic, snobbish Gen X attitude back.

 

[Holadem]

That was ill!

Jokes aside...

I really have begun to use "redic." for ridiculous after watching "The Lost Weekend" again recently. I actually like the sound of it.


Most slang doesn't bother me provided its not used in great amounts, especially as a substitute for saying anything of substance.

But "anywho"...that does grind on me. Too cutesy and it always was. It also strikes me as a snob-geek slang which also bugs me.

 

[Tony Whalen]

Guess I'd best stop using that then.

 

[John Watson]

I don't watch much TV, but Buffy The Vampire Slayer was on the short list.

Liked it except for thinking - there's not a person on the show who can speak in sentences except for Spike and some villains.

I guess that's common for tv land. :frowning:

 

[Ravi K]

I'm going to try to work outdated slang into my conversations. That's the bee's knees.

I hate the constant use of "like." Aaaaarrrrrrrghhhh!

 

[Bruce Hedtke]

or Smurf?

 

[RobertR]

Thanks for your diseased compliment, Holadem.

 

[Rob Gardiner]

Will someone please shoot the home video executive who came up with the term "taking multiple bites at the apple".

 

[Wayde_R]

"Dropped the ball." "At the end of the day." "All things being equal." Ugh.

I like to try to bring back phrases. Three Stooges for slang can't go wrong. It's so passe that it could actually be hip again.

"What are ya, a wise guy?"

Lay that on some co-workers and you'll turn some heads.
or...

"...I'll give 'em a knuckle sandwich."

 

[BrianW]

OMG!!!!!!! WTF???!!! LOL!!!!!!!

 

[Rob Gardiner]

Here's a great idea, everybody. Let's bring back SHAZBOT.

"That scared the shazbot out of me."

Or if you stub your toe, simply yell, "Shazbot!"
