Neknomination ***MOD WARNING FIRST POST***

greenbicycle

Every second post on my Facebook newsfeed is a neknomination. Suddenly overnight they all just appeared! Where did this mad trend start?

I am laughing at all the "be sensible about drinking" groups giving out though. Maybe I am just old and boring but all the videos on my Facebook are of people who clearly are just having that one drink (mostly Guinness) for the sake of the nomination and then they are clearly going back to their normal non drink related evening activities. People in suits and gym gear etc.

Although there has been some good ones, one lad appears to hover down from a height before necking his drink all while bollywood music plays in the background. Another has his dog featured in his video, the Dog seems relieved when he finishes the pint fairly quickly....

I presume everyone else is inundated with these?

This warning extends to any person whose life has been lost as a result of his "game". We are a big website in a small country. After Hours isn't the place to slag off people who are very likely part of its community.

I like drinking a dozen pints as much as the next fella, but don't see the point of this fad. Kind of thing obnoxious Australian lads do. Nothing worse than someone who can't handle their booze.

This is the first I heard of it, I'd be great at it, if I gave a fook about social media.

Also the opportunity to mention closing your Facebook to all and sundry.

I thought this thread was about fcuking dead people.

I have absolutely no idea what's going on.

Neck what now?

Pint drag-racing. Meh. Nothing new under the Sun, eh? I have a mate who is in his late fifties, has only one lung, and when he orders a pint of Guinness he leaves it for a half-hour or more to reach room temperature and the downs it in one.

Necknomination is basically when a friend nominates another facebook friend to "neck" or down a drink and capture it on video and then upload it in a desperate attempt to get a few likes/validation. Or in other words, it's the epitome of why facebook is a load of shizzle!!

It started in Australia and as stupid ideas do it spread.

poundapunnet

"I dare you to down that drink"

"OK!"

Is that seriously all this is and it's a thing with a name and a hashtag and a THREAD? I was doing that when you were a twinkle in your daddy's eye! Kids these days rabble rabble rabble

I'm not high and mighty about it. If people want to drink beers on Facebook go ahead. If anyone 'neknominates' me though they'll be getting ignored. I like drinking, I just don't see the need to film myself doing it and posting it on Facebook. Actually you could say that about most things in life.

You can just imagine a shower of Australian fůckwits with names like Wayne, Cooper and Hayden laughing like hyenas as they record 'a bro' drinking one of their awful lagers from a urinal.

yawhat!

Anyone see this latest craze around Ireland. People necking off pints, vodka with fag buts, cat food and whatever else is disgusting. They then nominate friend who has to do it then. I find it quite sad and my news feed is full of it!

I heard it started in Australia.

Not surprising, seeing as its a country full of thick ignorant hillbillies,

and that's just the Irish that have emigrated there.

It's incredible in this day and age that people hold a phone in portrait mode when recording.

Seriously, if my friends 'neknominated' me, I'd laugh and tell then where they can stick it.
