What's with this new .com craze in sentences

Webmonkey · 22-08-2010 01:09PM #1

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!

Doubt it will last, tbh.

SV · 22-08-2010 01:12PM

I dunno but it makes me feel like murdering them

Cheap Thrills! · 22-08-2010 01:12PM

oh FFs thats not new, thats as old as time.com :rolleyes:

GLaDOS · 22-08-2010 01:12PM

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

iPlop · 22-08-2010 01:13PM

It's notsobad.com/chillout;)

billy the squid · 22-08-2010 01:13PM

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

mickydoomsux · 22-08-2010 01:13PM

I have never heard anyone say that. Ever.

Webmonkey · 22-08-2010 01:14PM

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'.

Tomebagel · 22-08-2010 01:23PM

its not new, itsancient.com

jester77 · 22-08-2010 01:23PM

Slunk · 22-08-2010 01:25PM

This isn't the thread for that argument.

I once heard my cousin call someone a bitch.com

I was confused.

ciano1 · 22-08-2010 01:29PM

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

starlit · 22-08-2010 01:37PM

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.

it's so fcuking retarded. the amount of facebook updates of "omfg i am dying.com" is sickening.

22-08-2010 02:38PM

it a new low in popular culture ... anyone using this phrase should be put out of their misery

bleg · 22-08-2010 02:39PM

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.

Micky Dolenz · 22-08-2010 02:42PM

It's only a phrase they are going through.

alwaysadub · 22-08-2010 02:44PM

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.

22-08-2010 02:49PM

omgrandom.com!!

I've heard people say .ie at the end of words now too. Kinda lame.com.
