Words and phrases that you want immediately banned

    Unless you are familiar with the latest slang on social media, you may not be familiar with the phrases I'm about to say, but any time I see them being used, I instantly believe that the person is an idiot, a blind follower (not literally blind,), a moron, a wannabe, a gobsh*te desperate to fit in with the "cool kids & celebs" by ironically following the herd - and those phrases are:
    • squad
    • squad goals
    • lad
    • #goals
    • ____ and chill
    • Yaaas

    I wish I could just use different parts of the internet and avoid this bullsh*t but when you use Instagram & Facebook and read the latest entertainment news it's impossible to avoid.

    And those phrases are not limited to mere civilians. Celebs and "news" websites are mad for them too. Dopes.

    Got any hated words of your own?

    "To say..(Im happy, sad, nervous, whatever)..would be an understatement."

    I wish people would stop using this.

    'Nom nom nom' after posting a pic of your food. Unfriended

    Tats, instead of "that's"
    Ridiculously annoying.

    Epic, over used and lost all meaning.

    This had totally lost its meaning.
    People put it everywhere now
    Xxxxxxxxx
    Xx
    Xxxx
    Xxx
    Xxxxxxxxx

    What does xx mean.?

    Words that I'd like banned with immediate effect (ie. things my younger sister says):
    • On fleek
    • On point
    • Bae (it means poo, love)
    • Totes emosh
    • abbreevs
    • Squad goals
    • like, as verbal punctuation, like.
    • Fam
    • Turnt
    • Basic, as in: "Oh my GOD, I'm so BASIC"
    • Whut-whut (usually accompanied by a strange hands up, palms out shuffle dance
    • Literally can't cope

    Also, if she tells me one more time that I need to learn how to 'contour' I may lose my sh*t! :D

    'LGBT'.

    Nor am I the only one who dislikes this term.

    Katie Glover, who regularly writes about transgender issues for The Independent (UK), wrote a column last month titled 'Why it's time to take the T out of LGBT'.

    Who even cares anymore. No matter what we say there'll always be someone somewhere who thinks it's wrong. It's exhausting - and ludicrous - to try to keep up with the chronically-offended overly-PC brigade. If they want to live their life feeling perpetually offended, lets just let them be miserable and bitter forever and the rest of us can just get on with things.

    There's a difference

    Emoji are ideograms :D

    People who say "the PC brigade" or refer to anyone they disagree with as a brigade. Frequently also use the equally annoying word "sheeple". Spas.

    Spas should be banned as well. I didn't think people even said that anymore. Just label me one of the PC brigade.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,253 ✭✭✭jackofalltrades


    Islamophobia, and other other phobia based words that have nothing to do with an irrational fear.
    I'd love to hear of a case where someone was diagnosed with a phobia of Islam.

    I recently read an article talking about "Womanophobia". :rolleyes:

    Seriously, nobody or nothing has ever made that noise while eating, and if anything ever did I seriously hope it was killed with fire shortly afterwards.

    I'll never stop bringing up that time someone referred to a car as "PC nonsense" (and no it wasn't even a hybrid or anything like that)! :pac:

    People who write "should of" instead of "should have" or "would of" instead of "would have " did anyone who writes this ever study English in school


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,332 ✭✭✭fatherted1969


    Not a word as such but someone I know on Facebook when typing sentences puts a capitol letter on every single word in the sentence,

    Every
    Single
    Word !!!

    Can I also add the letter Z as well. Why would someone use Z instead of S when writing the plural of something. Why ???

    "Netflix and chill" seems to be the latest way to spot idiots.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,608 ✭✭✭✭Tell me how

    Really hate any of those phrases.
    Find them so pretentious.

    Teh, should of, WhEN peOpLe wRItE lYk DIs, check your privilege, sheeple, liberal (as an insult), St. Pattys day, feminist, meninist,so random (for completely non random events), could of, 'new' atheism, libtard, I can't even...,
    I sometimes see
    People online, especially on
    Boards where for some reason they
    Start new
    Paragraphs like this in the
    Middle of sentences.
    And I agree with what a lot of people have said already about terms like bae, squad goals, fleek etc. I know language changes but fúck me, it seems to be going in a strange direction...

    I remember when banter was a legitimate word used usually for light hearted ribbing and general fun conversation. I recently saw a picture of three young lad's (14 or 15) who all looked like dìckheads with Justin Bieber haircuts and #hairbantz underneath the picture..

    Use of the "cheeky" when someone is describing the act of consuming food or drink....

    Cheeky Pint
    Cheeky Starbucks
    Cheeky Nandos

    Usually followed by the phrase "Be rude not too"

    Boils my piss


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,088 ✭✭✭✭_Kaiser_


    I haven't a clue what most of the terms in this thread mean.....

    Any phrases from "DublinGirlo" that are used in real life by real life people.

    "First World Problem"

    We live in the First World. Therefore, it's a problem. If something annoys you or affects you, it doesn't matter if it's not as serious as what people in the Third World face, it's still a problem.

    Search youtube for "Cookie Monster"

    "Cookie Monster ..... is best known for his voracious appetite and his famous eating phrases: "Me want cookie!", "Me eat cookie!", and "Om nom nom nom" (said through a mouth full of food)."

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cookie_Monster

    That said, I agree with the general point you're making :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,174 ✭✭✭RhubarbCrumble


    Legend

    Has been overused so much that it's lost all meaning. It seems that everyone is a "legend" these days.

    People spelling it "ledgend" just make it so much worse.
