― fauxhemian (fauxhemian), Friday, 15 April 2005 19:19 (twenty years ago)

I knew a girl called Kirsten Moist

deal-io, as in "yo, what's the deal-io?" (I used to say this myself)

I thought it was funny when my local Dairy Queen put on its marquee "WHAT THE DILLY-YO." (This was maybe 1998?)

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 15 April 2005 20:24 (twenty years ago)

dude. that was at K.

― kelsey (kelstarry), Friday, 15 April 2005 20:40 (twenty years ago)

i know. it was my local dairy queen at the time.

three months pass...

"Owned" (in it's various guises and spellings) is really awful isn't it? I suppose it always infers a sexual element, but when actually used to describe a sex act, then it becomes almost intolerable with hateful power dynamics and an economic cynicism. < /fun>

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 8 August 2005 17:34 (nineteen years ago)

But what about "pwned"?

― n/a (Nick A.), Monday, 8 August 2005 17:40 (nineteen years ago)

That's what I meant by "in it's various guises and spellings."

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 8 August 2005 17:50 (nineteen years ago)

its

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 8 August 2005 17:52 (nineteen years ago)

There are no power dynamics or economic cynicism (whatever that means) in "pwn," because it doesn't mean anything. You can't even pronounce it.

― n/a (Nick A.), Monday, 8 August 2005 17:53 (nineteen years ago)

Haha, I was with my brother one time, and I forget the context, but he said something like, "Oh yeah, he was totally ... uh ... owned." I was like, "were you about to try to pronounce P-W-N?" He said, "Heh, yeah."

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 8 August 2005 17:55 (nineteen years ago)

I see Spencer's point, tho, w/r/t ownership -- equating humiliating someone or putting them in their place with possessing them.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 8 August 2005 17:57 (nineteen years ago)

THAT IS THE POINT

― n/a (Nick A.), Monday, 8 August 2005 17:57 (nineteen years ago)

"Can we please use some less insulting insults?"

― n/a (Nick A.), Monday, 8 August 2005 17:58 (nineteen years ago)

Actually, I never really thought about it literally until just now. I've always just used it as a synonym for "SCHOOLED!" or something.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 8 August 2005 17:59 (nineteen years ago)

I've always been bothered by it, but the tortoise sex face captioning finally made me do something about it!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 8 August 2005 18:01 (nineteen years ago)

what jaymc said, the way I conceive of it doesn't have much to do with sex at all (or only incidentally).

― tremendoid (tremendoid), Monday, 8 August 2005 19:31 (nineteen years ago)

Not literally, no, but what's often inferred is pretty obvious.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 8 August 2005 19:39 (nineteen years ago)

i HATE these words and shudder when i hear them:

tabernacle
moist
salve

― ai lien (kold_krush), Monday, 8 August 2005 20:46 (nineteen years ago)

I hate 'maths' as much as the original poster hates 'math', but I like 'cheers' which is like so totally weird!

― tremendoid (tremendoid), Monday, 8 August 2005 23:03 (nineteen years ago)

mentalism

― the reason is because I associate it with ILX, Tuesday, 9 August 2005 11:33 (nineteen years ago)

I prefer 'Owned!' to 'Who's your daddy?' 'Who's my bitch?' and all those other shitty terms.

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Tuesday, 9 August 2005 11:37 (nineteen years ago)

owned is so 2002.

'sonned' is annoying but i might start using it anyway

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Tuesday, 9 August 2005 11:49 (nineteen years ago)

I've always just used it as a synonym for "SCHOOLED!" or something.

I like "schooled". Do people say that? Well they should.

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Tuesday, 9 August 2005 12:01 (nineteen years ago)

also, people tend to say "i could care less" when they mean "i couldn't care less"

and i detest the word "irregardless".

yes

"Tragedy" or "tragic" to refer to anything other than a story that fits the classic theatrical tragedy formula.

"serious" when used to mean "large in magnitude"

I think Ronan, mentions it upthread, but "son" as an address at the end of a sentence and "sonned" make my SKIN CRAWL.

i like all of these. except when someone uses "son" without joking and without affection, but 90% of the time i hear it, it's ok. "sonned" is just funny.

"owned" is fine, although it is a bit tired now.

"schooled" is classic.

― sleep (sleep), Tuesday, 9 August 2005 12:44 (nineteen years ago)

"kudos"

― sleep (sleep), Tuesday, 9 August 2005 12:45 (nineteen years ago)

i don't understand spencer's problem with 'owned'. 'swnned' is funny, for me, now.

― N_RQ, Tuesday, 9 August 2005 12:49 (nineteen years ago)

Owned is bad but not as bad as pwned. I think pretty much any word is annoying if it is fetishized and overused. Yes, I hate your fun.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 9 August 2005 13:04 (nineteen years ago)

I'm sure I've ranted about it elsewhere on ILX, but I cannot stand the usage of the word "drops" to connote "is released" in terms of new albums. Perhaps my mind is firmly entrenched in the men's room, but it just sounds rather needlessly scatalogical to me. Stop it.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Tuesday, 9 August 2005 13:07 (nineteen years ago)

it's pretty standard linguistic practice. at one point ilx was awash with 'omgwtflol's.

xpost

― N_RQ, Tuesday, 9 August 2005 13:07 (nineteen years ago)

Yes, I know.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 9 August 2005 13:08 (nineteen years ago)

Alex OTM. Balls drop. Albums don't, unless you've got slippery fingers.
I'm still not sure if I'm happy with "OTM", TBH. Nor "TBH". I think all those sorts of acronyms make me wince slightly even though I use them.

― beanz (beanz), Tuesday, 9 August 2005 13:20 (nineteen years ago)

Annoying words? I like them all, fuck the h8rz.

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Tuesday, 9 August 2005 13:22 (nineteen years ago)

i like words too.

― N_RQ, Tuesday, 9 August 2005 13:24 (nineteen years ago)

"no".

― g-kit (g-kit), Tuesday, 9 August 2005 13:25 (nineteen years ago)

fucking 'stylee'

― boragonis, Tuesday, 9 August 2005 13:27 (nineteen years ago)

two years pass...

BETTERN'T IS NOT A WORD

― Autumn Almanac, Wednesday, 9 January 2008 02:06 (seventeen years ago)

I'm going to adopt that one now. Over the holidays, I came up with the phrase "might could oughta" as in "We might could oughta order the tapenade". I was drunk, but I still realized it was over the line.

― kingkongvsgodzilla, Wednesday, 9 January 2008 02:19 (seventeen years ago)

Accidental misuse is cool, but when you get in the lift with some bogan who loudly proclaims 'I'd better get one then, bettern't I?' it takes considerable effort to not remove said bogan's spleen.

― Autumn Almanac, Wednesday, 9 January 2008 02:21 (seventeen years ago)

I hate the word "squat" when used in reference to illegal housing.

Also any word that ends in "-icky": picky, sticky, colicky, garlicky.

― kingkongvsgodzilla, Wednesday, 9 January 2008 02:26 (seventeen years ago)

Why?

― Autumn Almanac, Wednesday, 9 January 2008 02:35 (seventeen years ago)

Sike! I don't even know what that means.
