Subject: Despised terms of the 00's
Written By: quirky_cat_girl on 05/07/08 at 11:11 pm
I was just thinking about how certain terms nowadays have been made especially popular by celebrities and/or celebrity trash magazines. One in particular that I hate is the new term for the stars who happen to be pregnant. Baby bump.
Also on the same annoying lines is how coupled celebrities names are grouped together. TomKat, etc... ::)

Okay, there's one that got on my nerves after Paris Hilton became a psuedo-pop culture icon:
Celebutante. (celebrity + debutante)
I spawned my own term: Celebudunce. ;D
And I also hate "bee-yotch". If you're gonna swear, just say it, get it over with, so we can move on with our lives. It's like the 00's equivalent of "buh-bye". It was cool for 5.7 seconds and then it was over. >:(

I think former NBA player Charles Barkley made the word up "Surreal" when he was on the Phoenix Suns back in 1994. Charles was like I don't even know what that word(surreal) means after he had said it. I remember after Charles said it I started to hear the word "surreal" more.

"Hater"... if you object to anything you are automatically labelled a "hater" or "hatah".
Also the concatenation of what should be two words into one word. Like "cellphoning" etc...
Awkward "couple names". OK, so "Bennifer" was kinda cool, maybe even "Billary". But then you had TomKat and Vinciffer and Jennimayer and Bradgelina that just sounded weird and too forced.

I was at the neighborhood bar a few weeks back when this large tattooed woman came in and started talking to me and the bartender. She told us she was from San Francisco, and whenever she agreed with us she'd reply, "True that!"
Actually I found it more funny than annoying (in part because it reminded me of the "Lazy Sunday" video from SNL a few years back) and after she left, the bartender and I got a good laugh out of it.

Especially when used as a caption to a picture of an unfortunate person crashing, falling, etc. I cannot beleive the general public has no other way to describe the situation, and most didn't even know or had even heard of the word "Epic" outside of the Faith No More track of 1990.
PWND FAILS, and EPIC FAIL has been PWNED. So enough already. :P
Not only do these words sound like you've never progressed beyond third grade when spoken, it seem to make you feel that way just READING it too.
Also those beginning a sentence or reply/response as "meh", i.e. not/unsure, only "OK" or so-so. Meh sounds like you lost control of your lips or mouth and can't udder more than a consonant or two without drooling.

Why does it bother you? I actually like the saying. It means life can be a b**ch, stop whining and get over yourself (not you). It means there are some things and people you can't change and in order to not go crazy, you have to get away from it or let it be.

I agree. I grew up in the 70s and everybody said it.
If you grew up in Massatwosheeshs, you'd hear: "What ah yah, fackin' retahdid?"
:P
I remember the first time I heard the phrase, and thought "shockin', or... what"?
I thought it was an indigenous group; the Shockinaw Indians of northern New York or something.
"Bromance"
WTF is a "bromance"? A relationship with a gentleman of color?
???
When they say a child is "spirited" instead of wild or bratty.
Instead of out-of-control little pain-in-the-ass bastard!
Speaking of, I hate the terms "baby mama" and "baby daddy" and the cultural decline they signify!
E.V.O.O.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil?

;D ;D ;D. I started watching the TV show called Bromance, it isnt all that great and it is not a relationship between two colored people. ;D ;D. It just a friendly relationship between two guys.

Calling a cigarette a "square."
I always thought that was stupid, but I thought they call the pack the square, which was stupid enough. I remember a teen who worked at the store where I worked back in the 90's asked me if I want part of his square", meaning if I wanted a cigarette (I was almost 40 so I had no idea what this teen slang ment), I said I don't smoke and I said he should make that square his last square. He said he smokes a half a square a day. But I think they started calling individual cigs a square also.
Also smoking related... Another tern that I hate is "my bad". I am a security guard at a college and whenever there are kids smoking too close to the enterences and I tell them to move, 9 times out of 10 they say "sorry, my bad".

the first terms used was "that bat is "sick" and that term is used widely in this way in other arenas.
next came "that bat is stupid"
the next term was "that bat is ridiculous"
and currently the new term is "that bat is retarded" I am curious as to what the next term will be ::)

"Summer of the Shark." That's what they billed the summer of 2001 as because there had been a whole bunch of shark attacks on humans. I thought it was cheesy and wished they'd shut up about it. September 10, 2001, was the last day I had to hear about "The Summer of the Shark"!

Ben & Jerry's showed the way! Make a hipster product and be an ethical capitalist. Donate to ecological causes. Proudly proclaim how you, as CEO, do not make more than seven times the lowest paid worker in the company when the average CEO makes 400 zillion times more. Embrace a hippie image via tie-dyes and Grateful Dead flavor tributes. Then, when the time is just right, sell out to Unilever for more money than you could count in a lifetime!

UP FOR. Are you up for some hacky sack? Creates the illusion that if you don't like my bad idea, you're less capable. Stick with "Do you want to...?".
ANY RAP SLANG. From beeches n hoes to bling to "pop a cap" to "trunk junk". Insider hip hop/gang/street slang is merely ignorance attempting to be respectable. What is clever to teens is irritating to old fogie farts like me, which makes me even grouchier. Now git off'n my lawn!

You know how you can go from zero-to-funny by simply reading a fortune cookie's fortune and appending the words "in bed"? If not, you should try it a few times - it's a device that everyone should have in their humor toolbox.
Well, TWSS is sorta like that, except that it's used to turn a conversation from boring-to-dirty, and because unlike "in bed", TWSS doesn't work for every line of conversation. You have to be very careful when you pull it out or it won't work.

I know "im rick james b*t*h" was overused for a while, I heard "how bout, no scott, ok?" and some of the catchier movie quotes that got overused to the point that it is no longer funny, any of little johns old catchphrases, including but not limited to whhhhhat?, oooookkkk!, or yeeeahh!, along with Waaaaaaazuuuuuuppppp! but that died before 2005.
