What's with this new .com craze in sentences

    As time goes on more and more people I know especially on facebook seem to be using .com after every verb, for example I'm bored.com, I'm tired.com, wrecked.com. FFS it's awful, who came up with this? I've heard Ruth Scott on 2fm using this as well.

    First of all I thought it was just girls that done it, now I noticed a former class mate update his facebook status with wrecked.com. It's cringe worthy!

    Heard it once or twice, it's amsuing when people think they're being trendy and witty.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    probably has its origins in some of the confused.com advertisements.

    I have never heard anyone say that. Ever.

    I only started hearing it lately, in the last 2 months or so. Maybe it just catching on down here now. It's bad enough in fairness.

    It's gay as christmas and I heard it years ago. I hid a girl from my facebook feed last week cause she said "hungover.com". I just checked and I've actually hidden over 40 friends from my feed now.

    saying things are gay is somewhat hypocritical don't you think. adding a sertain negativity to people of a different sexual orientation is not right.

    It's a phase that will pass. It's used by those pretending to be hip/with it.

    The previous phase is/was the use of the word 'random' in very deterministic situations. You will find many Facebook picture albums called 'Randomness'.

    its not new, itsancient.com


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,262 ✭✭✭✭jester77


    Let me google.com that!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,556 ✭✭✭Slunk

    This isn't the thread for that argument.

    I once heard my cousin call someone a bitch.com

    I was confused.

    To make it worse, whenever I try to visit those sites I get a 404 :(

    Its probably a phase.

    Yeah, I hate this. "Randomness": Here's a collection of photos of me and the girls randomly going to the same club every week. We are random. Somehow.

    Actually, the redundant addition of 'ness' to words annoys me too.

  • Registered Users Posts: 5,848 ✭✭✭bleg


    This internet thing is only a phase, it will never last.

    None of those are verbs.

    I don't think it's a new craze anyway, it's just had a bit of a revival on facebook. It makes no sense. :mad:
    At least I haven't heard people say it in real life yet :)

    Ah, that's why i haven't seen it so. I don't take part in all that Facebook ****e.


  • Registered Users Posts: 44,080 ✭✭✭✭Micky Dolenz


    It's only a phrase they are going through.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,554 ✭✭✭✭alwaysadub


    I've never noticed any of my friends on Facebook saying that, or saying it in real life either.

    Thank fcuk,cos i might just hit them if they did.
