american speech

[mookie2001]

sometimes i hear things that make me wonder where the fuck im living




worst words and phrases that are bringing this country down

5. mang

as in "man", this is pitiful, its cool if you naturally pronounce man somewhat like that, but its closer to "maine" than "mang", anyone who types this should be ashamed

4. right on

saying "right - on" is alright if youre passionate about something and you separate the words, but people have been putting them together quickly, making them one word, often repeating over and over calmly- "righton, righton, righton"

3. random

to describe situtations, surprising, peoples personality, people
this doesnt make any sense at all and must be stopped
also it when pronounced "Raan-Dom!" it is amazingly stupid sounding

2. chill

not the verb, the adjective
"shes chill, this bar is pretty chill, your dog is chill"
one time rakim said eminem was a great MC, hearing people use chill in this way is much sadder

1. drama

i shouldnt have to explain this one
the use of this word during the last 4 years has risen 1000%, it can also be combined with "random" to create a superphrase that is ruining america

when one uses drama, instead of "trauma" that shit is hilarious

I actually heard a girl in her early 20s probably, giving a TV news interview because her neighbor had come home to find her husband and kids murdered inside the house, her response "thats a lot of drama for someone to go through"

Great post. I actually agree with all points.

I get tired of posers saying "mang". What's next? The kids on Laguna Beach saying "sangwhich"?

We received some information at work on a study on teen culture. The study noted that saying something is "cool" is considered lame.

"cool" stuff is now described as "hot."



The sad thing isn't the death of the word "cool"... the sad thing is that it is now part of a stdy on teen culture that we heard about at work.


I'm looking for a home in Canada, I'll let you know if I find anything good.

[Spurminator]

But none of that is worse than "hella".


Do people still say "hella"?

[thispego]

nah, hella is dead

[cornbread]

Do the kids still say "holla"?

[thispego]

beats the hell out of me

[ZipSpan]

ay mang, right on! people need to stop using these random words that are causin drama. stay chill!

[timvp]

Chode.

[Trainwreck2100]

drama queen.

FU Zipspan. I was gonna do what you did

[leemajors]

fresh is still the word.

[CuckingFunt]

I've decided to make a concerted effort to bring back "rad."

And maybe "tubular," too, though I'm not sure.

[Mr. Black]

Good luck on changing american slang.

[The sone]

on a totally unrelated subject...

the other day i heard a 13 yr old girl say..."I brought punk back!!"

i think we should all thank her.

youth is wasted on the young...

[TheSanityAnnex]

radical>>>>>>>>>>rad
dudical>>>>>>>>>dude

........and whoever mentioned "hella", yeah, that's got to be the worst. My brief stint in NorCal actually led me to meet a few that said "hecka".

Don't forget bitchin' and gnarly

[whottt]

Chode.


PWNT!

I thought "random" was just an Arizona or Tucson things, it pains me to know it is also being used in Texas. Every day I have to hear about the "randomness" of some "so random" person. It makes me wonder if people just dont have any other way to describe anyone

welcome to ten years ago.

[Lebowski Brickowski]

Wow! that's, like, soo eclectic!
Her apartment is sooo eclectic!
His musical taste is totally soo eclectic!
Wow! His political philosophy is like, soooo _______!!!

[ChumpDumper]

mang chowder

[boutons_]

uh, don't get me started.

"x factor"

"the reality is"

"what happens is ..."

"what he said was ... "

"in my mind"

"the idea I have in my mind" (Where TF else?)

"the weather that we have"

the tautalogical, superflous trailing "that ...." clauses, every last fucking one of them. It's verbal filler from people with empty heads. :lol

Then there is repulsiveness of the glottal rasp of the American female with nasality, and gays/metrosexuals who try to sound effeminate. Do American wimmen have any idea how ugly is the noise they make?

etc, etc, etc.

:lol

oops, you got me started. :lol

and of course, the empty pretentiousness of anybody commenting on the "irony", of anything and everything "ironical", as if they really understood what irony and other subtleties were.

[leemajors]

al michaels and "in effect" makes me grind my teeth

[thispego]

oh yeah! apparently everything is ironic nowadays

[Lebowski Brickowski]

"Dew Whaat?"

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Cool will never go outta style, i use chode 100x online more than in real speech, and i honestly dont think hella was even that strong of a meme ever

[Spurminator]

I can't say I heard "hella" a lot in everyday conversation but all I know is that it was in the title of a very popular song and no one seemed to think that was stupid.

[midgetonadonkey]

Instead of cool I'm going to start describing things I like as "the cat's meow".

[Spurminator]

:lol
