Do you have issue with the word itself, or that its used incorrectly or just that there is a term for those who are "perpetually aware of issues"

No thanks. I’ll leave that bait for someone else who feels the need to explain the obvious.

It's just the yank "full stop" though isn't it?

Gargantuan..... I love that word. So hard to get it into a sentence these days.

SirLemonhead

'Whoosh' is particularly annoying. No, I've never been on the receiving end of it.

Jesus wept has been around for ages.

I assume you’re joking. Somebody commenting that, say, playing Russian Roulette is a game for Darwin Award candidates... makes the commenter a Darwin Award candidate? How do you get there?

When was the last time someone used it like that though? For years now it's just been to have a guffaw at actual accidents that just aren't everyday types

Aaah, various online discussions? That’s usually where I see the term used. Rarely enough in real life, but if it’s used correctly, it doesn’t annoy me at all. If the freak accident is caused by somebody doing something really, really stupid, I don’t see the problem. I remember some Irish crim shooting himself in the head maybe a decade ago showing off. That’s an example where I heard it used in real life. And, it was true.

I can’t say I’ve heard it used in relation to any freak accident that occurs personally. Usually freak accidents are reacted to with sympathy, in my experience, especially if it was clear that nobody was at fault or that the error was something that could have happened to anyone. There’s often a very clear difference between that and somebody doing something moronic. And if that moronic thing causes injury or death, fuck ‘em, quite frankly.

As an example the guy who drowned proposing to his wife a few days ago. Judging by the pictures it was just a tragic accident, and yet there the phrase popped up

Eeeee, I found that story really sad personally... but, water must be respected. That incident does straddle that line, I think. I made up my own criteria above but I’m going to stick with it. Could that accident have happened to anyone? Not really. I feel really sorry for the chap who died but what he did was very risky.

Language is broken.
Even typing that pains me.

Remember text speak?

I remember hearing the term 'Jesus wept' for the first time by a friend back in the 90s and remember thinking WTF?

Language is alive and always evolving.
Long may it, eh, live.

I don't really care about most things but ending a response with something like "good gentleman" or "kind sir" annoys me. It's more of a Reddit thing.

Which I always assume is shorthand for 'I am a dick'.


Also, anyone ending a bolloxy ramble with "Thoughts?" can fcuk right off too.

Depends on the context.

Black Americans using it as an awareness they are frequently the victims of social injustice and racism? No. Perfectly correct. It's needed, too.

White SJWs using it as an ego trip? Yes - totally agree with you.

"Dropped"
As in "The new U2 album dropped last night".
Usually used by the cnuts who write for joe.ie

"Choooooone"

What part of...

"I'm not going to lie to you..."

Consider please how what you are saying might carry the same meaning without you saying it at all.
Consider how you might merely be using it a preface to make yourself sound clever or funny. Does it?

u140acro3xs7dm

"Wow, just wow"
"I'd say you are great fun at parties"
"yawn"

All used by people with no comeback or counter argument.

Also "To be honest" and "In fairness / TBF". In my experience often used when people are lying and being unfair.
