Should we really be teaching our children that losing their virginity involes punching something?
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Friday, 13 April 2018 14:57 (six years ago) link
We shouldn’t be teaching our young people that “virginity” is a real thing tbh.

"what were you thinking"
pointless expression as it usually implies you weren't thinking at all

otm get rid of the concept -- it's a cudgel for the oppressor if i am being grandiose

OTM the whole concept is ridiculous.

Keep it for olive oil, though. I ain't eatin' no slut-ass olive oil.

I usually prefer extra raw dogged olive oil.

a few:
"spicy" - overheard a guy use this when saying he brought a date to grad - phrase needs extinction asap unless you're describing food
next one's more of a conversation i seem to hear endlessly from young students on the bus I take home (probably 21 ish)
"I feel so old. I want to stay young, when you're young you make mistakes and learn from them, but when you're old, you should know better"
to which i said "I'm 34, you can still progress in life".

"Electronic" instead of digital, online etc. "I'll send an electronic copy" ... so you're going to build a circuit from voltage sources, resistors, capacitors etc which mimics the document?It's 2018, people. Handling information with a computer doesn't make it "electronic". Send me a digital copy as an attachment, sure. I'm not "logging on" to your website when I access it, either.

"eye candy" is dehumanizing in the extreme

AFAIK you can use it to talk about things that are not human

if only it were confined to non-human objects, I'd be more ok with it.

MatthewK does it bother you when people say "email" and do you think it should be changed to "digimail" ?

The crying with laughter emoji
The phrase "made me spit out me tea" and it's variants
Basically anything that's "I have a sense of humour, me"

LOL, so true. ROTFLMAO RN.

If it’s not a word, please inform my work WhatsApp thread, as it’s approx 60% of all characters

I'd argue that emojis count, mostly because I want to denounce their existence itt.

The one that bothers me is 'feelsgoodman' vs 'feelbadman', which seems to make up about a third of all online discourse.

"pain points"
― (The Other) J.D. (J.D.), Friday, 27 April 2018 23:30 (six years ago) link
i haven't heard pain points, hit me with an example. make my head hurt
"feels good/bad man" is awful but definitely seems like that one has receded in the past 2 or so years.

Hacking on the ILX codebase has a lot of pain points due to accumulated technical debt. We’re scoping some major refactoring for the next sprint.

perhaps the most monstrous construction of our age is any patronising, pernickety, hectoring or aggressive comment prepended with "sorry"
it's for ppl whose esteem is based on pedantry and a self-congratulatory sense of correctness. i'm not sure what ppl think they mean when they write it (it's too obviously dickish to be common in spoken english), but it's amongst the most smug uses of ironic politeness going, but ofc it does at least serve the function of marking out its users as pure evil
― ogmor, Wednesday, 2 May 2018 15:23 (six years ago) link
"sorry" became "sorry (not sorry)" with the sarcasm baked in at some point

is it okay to point out that the people who support Trump fundamentally don't care if he had an affair with multiple porn stars, covered them up, paid them off, then lied about them repeatedly, let alone if he violated a campaign finance law— Adam Sternbergh (@sternbergh) May 3, 2018
