Nothing to do with Internet slang, but I've noticed recently that I always spell out the word "eye". Not even the actual letters, but the sounds we were taught when we first learned the alphabet in Reception. "I need to keep an eh*-yuh-eh on my saucepan so it doesn't overboil." *As in "fetch".
Not sure whether this is a first world whinge or a thing that annoys me that shouldn't but it really pisses me off when I have my morning coffee, and it's delicious, and I can't have another first coffee until tomorrow!! Dammit! A second coffee is SO not the same that I rarely bother
PANTS!! Having to wear them!. There, that`s my FWW. Also one of my favorite shirts (a tye dye color tee of a alien petting a cat) has a hole in the armpit not. My skins really patchy and rough too, and my phone battery never holds a charge and...maybe I should just stop now. They got ran over, that`s good enough. Was hilarious, honestly. Normally i`d feel bad about busting into laughter watching a guy get hit by a car but...idiots get what idiots get. Harmful idiots well meaning idiots are different. I largely fall into the later sometimes.
In the Uk we like to ram them and knock them off (not all of them just the criminal ones) https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/moped-crime-phone-snatching-robbery-london-police-cars-ramming-crackdown-a8648516.html
FFS journalists, stop adding "-gate" to any salacious political story. Richard Nixon was pardoned nearly forty-five years ago for whatever his role in the Watergate break in and follow-on events might have been. No, I'm not going to cite the most recent -gate to appear, like a flaming bag of dogshit, in the news media. Future historians are going to have a field day explaining that suffix, assuming it doesn't totally take over the language.
I got Android Auto on my phone working with my car. Now it's crapped out AGAIN! Someone needs to explain in single syllable words to the tech "gods" that reliability is as important or more important than so-called features. Not happy as I've got a long drive tomorrow to an unfamiliar place and can't afford to be juggling my phone to understand what the GPS is on about instead of focussing on the road.
Just get one of these, that way you don't need to fall behind on your Candy Crush quota while driving
Just stay home and blame your phone. I blame everything on my phone these days. Let's face it: It's all Alexander Graham Bell's fault, anyway. If it weren't for him, everybody would have shut up long ago.
TBH, I sort of enjoy adding "-gate" to random incidents. I think it sort of sounds funny. For example, a row in my flat was dubbed "sinkgate". (It made me less upset over it.) Problem is, the habit has spread to a character in my fanfic, which is set in a fantasy world, so no Watergate. I have to consciously replace it with "The --- Affair." My First World Whinge is that someone recommended a song to me and I LOVE IT, but the only versions of it I can find on YouTube all have the album cover as a picture, which is terrifying. So now, whenever I listen to this six-and-a-half-minute song, I have to look at this scary face for all that time.
In my last job we had a big issue with a particular gate going missing no matter how many times it was replaced - needless to say this came to be known as gategate
The digital clock in my car radio loses two minutes every month or so. This constant resetting is getting old.
My strawberry iced tea, from the Chinese noodle bar I just ordered from has spilt. It's half gone It was a pint of strawberry iced tea. So now I only have half a pint of delicious strawberry iced tea.
