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... ::)

Canoodling.  ::)

Whoever came up with "The Donald" and "The Hoff" should be forced to site upon a pile of used hypodermic needles.

I remember that letter Catwoman posted here a while back. I would have thought the makers of Always would have yanked that slogan right away. I am wrong:

There's no way that men are solely responsible for this one.

yeah... I thought Bennifer was far more gag inducing than TomKat tho...

"My bad" (my error/fault)
"My crib" (my home)
"My peeps" (my people--friends, associates, family. Started in the '90s but was still overrused early in the '00s)
"Let's jet" (let's go.  But perhaps that's more '90s)
GF (girlfriend)
BF (boyfriend)
BFF (best friend forever)
Bling (aka bling-bling--fashion accessories)

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 never really liked the word "Anyhoo" but, am not sure if this is a '00s term. Anyway you slice it, it's gotta go!  ;D

"Brangelina"  ;D

I used to say "anyhoo" until I realized how totally dorky it was!

"my bad" has been in use since the 90's...I guess it's still frequently used these days too?

Also in use since the 90s: "trippin" as slang for "bluffing"

Many of these urban terms date back before the 90s. It's only that the mainstream suburbanites caught on 20 years afterwards (as always  ;D).

I agree with you with the "My bad". I really, really hate that. I also hate the term "ghay" which a lot of people around here uses.



Cat

I'm not sure when it came into use either, but I see it used all the time. It does annoy me to some extent, but I sometimes use it too...lol.

"Hella."

As in "hella cool," "hella good," etc.

Seems like a total poser word to me.

Fo' Sho = For Sure
That's Hot! ::)

Ignorant text type: U hav 2 snd 2 ne1 4 luk foo! >:(

One I hate is the word Tard, short for 'Retard'.  Not that I ever liked that word either

"Hella."

that's hella old, lol

Not sure if it's 00s but....

"Hit up" (go somewhere/stop off at)

"Let's hit up McDonald's" = "Let's go to McDonalds"

My brothers use this all the time, I hate it.  ::)

Ignorant text type: U hav 2 snd 2 ne1 4 luk foo! >:(


Yeah I'll use some shorthand like numerals 2 and 4.....otherwise I just spell it out I cant's even read what you wrote! LOL
I also hate when people actually speak IM lingo......the other day I heard someone literally SAY "O.M.G."  Why? WHY?!

"Hella."

As in "hella cool," "hella good," etc.

Seems like a total poser word to me.


I say that sometimes.  Usually when I'm freezing, I'll say it's hella cold.

I hate when people say "What up".  I also found the abbreviation "J-Lo" really irritating.  Is her name really that long that it takes too much effort to say it??

"Delish".

Ant

"Delish".

Ant


You're really against Rachel Ray aren't you?!

You're really against Rachel Ray aren't you?!


What? You mean there is only one person on this planet who says "Delish"?  ;)

Yes, I am, though not enough to join the Rachel Ray Sux forum. A rant in passing every three or four months and occasionally tossing peanuts at the TV when her show is on is good enough.

Ant

I heard 'tard by 1983.

If you say 'this is sh*t,' that means it's bad
If you say 'this is the sh*t,' that means it's superb.
Doesn't make sense.

Hey...I've picked up on Racheal Ray's terminology and I use it all the time (especially when referring to extra virgin olive oil by its inits). One term of hers that I do NOT like to use, however, is "sammies" (for sandwichies).

The word "Boo" as in 'my boo' etc.

Ummm I still use 'anyhoo' and quite like it.

And like Maxwell I truly hate "my bad".

oh, speaking of reality show contestants..I hate whenever they say that their experience was, "surreal". ugh. 8-P

Another overused word: challenging. 

I also cannot stand peeps (friends) or team player

8-P

"At the end of the day" (90s?)
"The bottom line" (also 90s?)

Smexxy >:(

"Tomcat"  when referring to tom cruise. I hate the stupid pet names they make up for celebrities.

"Metrosexual" was a term that was around 2003/2004.

oh, speaking of reality show contestants..I hate whenever they say that their experience was, "surreal". ugh. 8-P
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.

I used to say "anyhoo" until I realized how totally dorky it was!
:-[


Noo, it's okay. I guess certain people I know who've said it in the past rubbed me the wrong way, so that could also be why I associate it in a negative way. You're still cool!  ;)

Jefferson Airplane released an album in 1967 called "Surrealistic Pillow."

the word "Surreal" has been around since at least April 3, 1952!!

I'd have to agree with that one for sure.

foodie

Earlier than that...

Think 1920s

Although I think it was said back in the 90s, I hate when they say something is "The sh*t". 

Not a big fan of the term Boo either, but it doesn't bug me as much as the other one.  ;D

Gnarls who?  *zing*

I think this one's definitely 00s: when two people were going out together they used to be a couple. Now they're "an item"; invariably pronounced idem.

"Item" actually goes way back. 

Most subculture terms are stupid, like "tats," "gamers,""stoners"

I can think of a few that get to me...

"That is so last year."

"*soandso* is the new *soandso*!"

Maybe these aren't necessarily terms, they just happen to be at the top of my "annoying" list.

I say that sometimes.  Usually when I'm freezing, I'll say it's hella cold.

I hate when people say "What up".  I also found the abbreviation "J-Lo" really irritating.  Is her name really that long that it takes too much effort to say it??


do they say Hella outside of Northern CA?  I lived in NorCal and everyone said hella but when I moved to SoCal they made fun of anyone who said hella.

I'd never heard of "Hella" until 2002, when No Doubt (a southern-California-based band) released their single "Hella Good", which was a big hit in the summer of that year.

  I still say 'hella' sometimes.  It's one of those left-over things...

  And 'J-Lo' - too presumptuous... 8-P
Yeah "J-Lo" I couldn;t stand that back then like in 2001 or 2002 I think it was.

Bling is one I don't care for either
Yeah Bling or Bling or Bling I can;t stand that term.

"office wife/ husband"  or "work wife/ husband"
"kay" or "kay kay" (instead of okay)
"touch base"

From The Rachel Maddow Show

"Talk me down."

It's new and I'm tired of hearing it.

That's hot...  ::)

Gnarls who?  *zing*


I wrote that...man, I must have been ****ed up!
:D

Is overshare a term, or is it just something Sarah Silverman made up?

"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.

Yeah "J-Lo" I couldn;t stand that back then like in 2001 or 2002 I think it was.

yes, it was then when she released her album with that name. Then everybody started referring to her that way. ::)

Hater blockers.  ::)

  "At the end of the day" was fashionable and cliché.  Meaning "ultimately" or "when all is said and done"...

  But I don't really despise it and I don't know if it was popularized by a celebrity and I don't know if the expression is specific to the 00s...

my bad.... haven't heard it for years but my trainee- whenever she makes a mistake...and she makes several a day...always follows my correction with "My bad"  yeah whatever just stop screwing up!  ::)

I thought that too when I first heard the phrase in the mid-90's. But "bad" makes more sense because the sayer realizes that they made a mistake.

  Why not just say, "my mistake" or "belay meh last"...

"Amazing", "Awesome", "Random"....like!  ;)

"Text" as a verb.

"Maverick" (you know what I mean)

"War on terror"

"Right-sizing"

"Canoodling"

'YAY'

WTF is that  all about?

Joe Six Pack.  ::)

"Text" as a verb.


...as short for text messaging. I think it "became" a verb when the trend of text-messaging began to develop. ::) People have been giving different parts-of-speech to other words as well...

A term that irks me is a combination of synonyms:  Ginormous

  -represent...

  As in, "blah-blah represent..."

(something) IS THE NEW (something).

eg.  Thirty is new forty.

Or, as I saw on a dress shop sign today,

Black is the new green!

Yeah, well blow me!  Sorry, it's just the same as it ever was!

I'm with you.

I worked with a girl who would say ginormous on the phone all of the time and it really drove me crazy. I wanted to get the most ginormous object i could find and lob it over my cubicle at her.

Throw such-and-such under the bus

This one has been around a long time and it was kind of nifty before the latest election cycle, but it's now in the ranks of the over-used!

I never really liked the word "Anyhoo" but, am not sure if this is a '00s term. Anyway you slice it, it's gotta go!  ;D



I agree.  It drove me nuts when my friend Eric said it.  To make things worse, somehow my daughter has recently picked it up.  I cringe every time she says it.

:-\\ I always use "anyhoo". Never in conversation but quite a bit in e-mails etc.  :D

'anyhoo'

  ::)  ::)

oh and 'off of' 

eh???

Here's a term I really hate... "fashionista".

(something) IS THE NEW (something).

Yeah, well blow me!  Sorry, it's just the same as it ever was! :-*



Throw such-and-such under the bus


Anyhoo, I hear that 80s-retro's making a comeback.  Talking Heads references are the new foolish ship sailings.

yeah, I often use it informally...but never in a paper.

I can't say with 100% that it first appeared in the 00's  but "it is what it is" annoys the heck out of me. I first remembered hearing it in the 00's. What does it even mean?

Well that's been around for a while. Sort of like a "that's life".

However there is the 00s "What it is" which is more of a "wassuuuup" from the 90s.  ;D

My old man used to say "It is what is."  is a tautology.

here a despised term of the 00's celeberty couple names! you have tomkat,bradglina,benifer so on and so forth! you know if george carlin was still alive he will have a feild day with those supercouples names!

I'm with you.

I worked with a girl who would say ginormous on the phone all of the time and it really drove me crazy. I wanted to get the most ginormous object i could find and lob it over my cubicle at her.
I actually laughed out loud (literally) at that.

ohh and 'supercouples'

tut  ::)

It's not just combined couples name I despise but also the shortening of a celebrity's name by using
first initial and half of the last name, e.g., KFed, JLO and such.  :P

I agree. ::)

Jennifer Lopez titled her 2001 album "J Lo" and everyone started referring to her that way. C'mon Jen, just because you shorten your name doesn't necessarily mean people are gonna change their opinion of you.

"bitch slap" is another one i cannot stand.

"Butthurt."  ;D ;D ;D

I've read all the posts and agree on some and here are mine:  My Bad, Bitch Slap, My Boo, Baby Mama, Baby Daddy, Don't Be Hatin', Psycho, Booty, Gay (the way the word is used for everything), Trailer Park Trash (Can you imagine how that must make people feel that do live in mobile homes?......Sad World!!!!), Stop Trippin', Yo Mama, Get A Life, Trifling


yeah all of those tho' they are not used so much here in the UK, (prob in London??)  but using gay or ghey for anything, what on earth  ::) ::)
i can recall a time when i used to go camping and ran around full of gaiety now some ****** has ruined the original meaning of those words and the connotation isn't the same.

Canoodling.  ::)

A bit late in pointing this out, but "Canoodling" goes back a bit further than this decade: http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=canoodle


It's not just combined couples name I despise but also the shortening of a celebrity's name by using
first initial and half of the last name, e.g., KFed, JLO and such.  :P

Always made me think that K-Fed sounded a bit like a D-Ked

Term I can't stand: "reality TV" - two old words put together to make something brainless and annoying

As opposed to...fiction TV? ??? I never quite understood why "reality based" shows are called that.

"Psycho" has been around since the 90's with people using that word. "Get A Life" thats been around for at least 20 years that saying.

Shock and Awe

Shock and Awe

I remember the first time I heard the phrase, and thought "shockin', or... what"?

Shock and Awe


Didn't they start using that phrase after 9-11?

When they say a child is "spirited" instead of wild or bratty.

I despise the word despise

Krunk..or Crunk. or however its supposed to be spelled. It is the stupidest word in the world and there is no point to it. How about everyone just says that is cool.

Tight is another one. why replace a word that doesnt need to be replaced. I get by just fine with cool, awesome, and fantastic.

FAIL.  ::)
I HATE the overused word FAIL. And its overused modifier EPIC.

I'm soo tired of seeing these word used in addition to PWND or PWNED. 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.

Thank god for the INTERNET and all that its brought us and how its advanced our vocabulary, huh folks? ::)

How about the word 'retarded'? How would people feel if their child was retarded and everyone used that term? I'm not even joking.

I can't say with 100% that it first appeared in the 00's  but "it is what it is" annoys the heck out of me. I first remembered hearing it in the 00's. What does it even mean?


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.

What really annoys me is when people are so stubborn and the thing that they hate isn't even bothering them. In my head, I am like, just let it be!

   At one time the term "retarded" was the normal, accepted way of referring to someone with mental/learning disabilities...

   For us kids on the playground, as always, the term was hurled as an insult...

I too grew up in the seventies and have to catch myself from saying "thats retarted" I have in the past got so mad at Missy for doing stupid things that I've blurted out "are you retarted"only to feel bad afterwards.

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?
???

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!

;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.

Rachel Ray uses E.V.O.O in alot of stuff. I only know because Tam got her Big Orange Book for christmas and I flipped through the recipes.

I remember the first time I heard the phrase, and thought "shockin', or... what"?


Now I can't hear it without thinking of the the movie "Hitch" where Will Smith tells Kevin James "that was shockingly awful"  ::)

The word gay used to means something is cheesy or uncool.

BBF annoys me.  What's that hand gesture the kids use these days.  It kind of looks like a half ass peace sign.

According to dictionary.com, that one's been around for more than half a century... I knew it sounded kind of familiar ;)

"Fo' Shizzle"
"Seriously"- I know this one isn't new, but it's getting obnoxiously overused....SERIOUSLY

;D

No homo.

Um, if you're not gay, then why do you need to explain to others that you're not gay?

And isn't saying "No homo" giving people more reason to suspect you're not straight, even if you are?

It's okay ...we often play around verbally....he just set himself up with that one!

This has been around for longer, but I have always hated when people sad "chill" or "chill out"

not sure how long this one's been around, but I just heard it on tv today & discovered I pretty much despise it " how ya like me now"?

Nope. But I have a circle.  http://www.inthe00s.com/smile/03/countdown.gif

  I don't know about the "one word thing".  Senior citizens have always fascinated and charmed me and I easily make friends with them. I suppose it was because I was brought up by my grandparents.  They taught me to respect people and to show deference to them.  Maybe those folks appreciate it when I addressed them as "Sir" or "Ma'am"...

  Yep, you're a 90s teen.  What, were you raised in a barn..?

sorry but I think we've gotten too far from respect.. I cannot stand when people show disrespect... like saying yeah instead of yes or naw instead of no... if we are friends that's one thing but to be so complacent with someone you don't know or someone in a position of authority... like the court shows on tv... you should have to answer yes or no not uh huh or nuh-uh  ::)

Some people just use it to sound smart.

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".

certain terms that uised to be insultive, unflattering, have become compliments in the softball community where having the best softball bat makes one a star, even if that bat has been altered illegaly making it more powerful than a stock bat off the rack.

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  ::)

8-P I've never used the word like that and I don't plan to. I just don't find it hilarious at all and it's really annoying. ::)

"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!

In my case, I'd recruit Jello Biafra and sell out to Phillip-Morris!

However, the market for rolling papers is more limited than for ice cream, and the joke is stale and, some would say, in bad taste!

Challenge.  Instead of saying "problem", everything is now a challenge.

I watched the Duggars TV show (19 and counting)  and Michelle must have used the word challenge at least 5 times in a 30 minute show.  8-P

Losing is not an option.

Any reality TV show contestant will say that at one time or another.  8-P

Texting and 'net shorthand messages/terms, especially those that type LOLOL. Is that "laugh out loud out loud", or "laugh out laugh out loud"?

PEACE OUT. Take an early '70's hippy word (usually hand signed with the stolen v-for-victory fingers), add a word and claim innovative clever geniusness that mom and dad aren't hip to. The term died out for a reason.

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!

DON'T EVEN GO THERE. Do not say this to me. I will.

YOU GO GIRL. Oprah can be a bad influence also.

How ________ is THAT?

Get your ____________ on.

My girls (said by a female referring to friends)  I have no problem with someone using this term to describe their daughters.

One thing I don't like is when people just say 'whatever' to you when they can't think of anything better to say. It's just laziness, lol.

Another 'this is the sh.t' meaning brilliant term is 'sick'. 'That was sick!' means 'That was excellent!' and I don't get it.

Did we mention: "Think outside the box"?

"That's what she said"  ???

I don't even get what that means.


"I'm just sayin."  Again,  ???

I know people have said "I'm just sayin" for years but in a different context that actually made sense.

"That's what she said"   I don't even get what that means.


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.

For example:


You have to be very careful when you pull it out or it won't work.


"That's what she said!"

For example:

"That's what she said!"


We were guilty as all hell of "that's what she said."

It was too easy.  (fill in the blank____________________)

And if you got Chinese food in college you added the phrase "in bed" do the declarative in your fortune cookie!

(eg.  "Behind every great man is another great man...in bed!"

Gay Marriage.

Not that I despise the issue itself, because I am personally in favor; but it gets on my nerves the way various media outlets will refer to the issue as gay marriage as opposed to its, as far as I'm concerned, proper term, which is same-sex marriage.

I remember my girlfriends aunt trying to use that one...
"Is (such and such) a Ho fer show?" (putting enough emphasis on the words that you could tell she was saying "for show" and not fo sho) I also remember it showing up in the background of a rap video as "fasho"

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.

this may or may not be a "term". but one thing I cannot stand is when someone says "like" every 3rd word in a sentence.

if you watch shows or movies from before early 2000's, they never did that.  Its almost become a habit of some people now.

I am sure I said this before but I really despise Portmanteau Words. I know they have been around for awhile,
I can handle the word smog but in the last decade they became real annoying. It's bad enough that there are
words such as ginormous but when they started messing with celebrity couples, that was enough.

I agree. I have 3 stepsisters from my mom's 2nd marriage and that's what I refer to them as. They're not bonuses to me. What I was referring to in my previous post is there are people who probably think it's better, nicer, correct, (whatever) to say bonus. I think the whole thing is insane.

  "global"

  It's meaning has been, in recent years, to be a celebration of diversity, community and the human spirit yet the term makes me feel uneasy...

  Further back the word was usually followed by "thermonuclear", which could also make a person anxious, but at least Fender guitars were still made in America... :o

Not sure if this is just a Dutch thing, but nowadays everything has to be authentic. The food you buy is made with authentic ingredients, using an authentic recipe. Clothes are made from authentic materials. They come in authentic paper bags. And so on and so on.

And what exactly does 'authentic' mean, anyway?  :-\\ Nothing, if you ask me. It has totally lost its meaning.
