    I used to call it "hash sign"

    In the days of dial up it took me flippin ages to find the 'pound' key.

    It wasn't '£' as you might think. For some reason our friends in the U.S. call '#' the pound key....

    Does anybody remember when # was just hash, and not hashtag? # is hash, and the 'word' is the tag, the keyword/phrase. I hate...stuff!!!!

    And yet, presumably, the word hashtag originated in the US. #bizarre #etymology

    What's the point of them anyway? Does it make you searchable or something? What total doze is going to search #blessed or whatever anyway- you will just come up with pages and pages of random rubbish.

    I hate hash tags and my top three are;
    #squad...anyone that has a friend with them in a picture.
    #goals .....can be used in conjunction with 'squad' for maximum annoyance. Also 'relationship goals.'
    #girlboss.....a lot of bloggers using this at the moment.
    Awful Shiite talk if you ask me.

    Doesnt it have something to do with what we used to call keywords?
    Internet pages had keywords associated with them and if someone searched for that keyword then the page would appear in the search results.
    Then twitter came along and to make it easy for people to assign keywords to their twits they assigned # to it. So any word in a tweet with a # before it is a keyword that makes it pop up in search results.
    I think.
    Probably.

    You obviously friended people and allow them to use them on your feeds.

    Just sort that out instead of moaning here.

    Probably.

    makes sense for twitter and instagram but can't understand the point of it on Facebook for example. Plus if you are stupid enough to search fitfam (shudder ) would you actually find anything usable /what you were looking for? !?!

    I've thought of one incidentally : #yourwelcome, especially when it's actually spelled like that! that betting app ad on the radio gives me the rage

    You forgot Wibbs' cackle gang. Probably didn't take off because he slapped a copyright on it.

    I like funny or pisstaking hashtags, I have to admit.

    But yes, #eatclean can fúck right off. :mad: You just know they are mainlining cakes and Big Macs and puking them up once the camera is off them. :pac:

    #nofilter is a bit overused but again can be used in a funny way, and I understand when people want to show that what is in the photograph is exactly how it appeared ie. an amazing sunset or unusual clouds.

    Not a huge fan of hashtags, but I love emojis.

    Emojis capture nuance with brevity. Before I die I will write an anthology of emoji poetry.

    Agreed, I love them. Absolutely love them. They are an art form.

    My favourite is this one:

    white knights

    'White knighting' is one of the most moronic ones out there. Yes, that dude is just sticking up for some women because he thinks, either consciously or subconsciously that it'll increase his chances of porking one of them. No other reason at all. :rolleyes:

    That every mildly impressive thing is 'epic' nowadays.

    Lol annoys me too, especially when describing something that isn't even funny 'Went to the shop to get some milk, but they didn't have any lol'

    @everythingalcoholic.

    Oh really, you're having a drink. Fair play, you must be gas. That's a mighty achievement.

    Bloody millenials.
