When the phrase "Let's discuss" or "We've discussed" or anything revolving 'discussion' when the 'discussion' in question was more of a lecture, or text on a page (in a book or on the internet).
It means "Before Anyone Else" but people are using it like the word "Babe" which is incorrect. For example "Hey, what's up bae?" but you don't say "Hey, what's up before anyone else?" because it sounds stupid. Also, it's used for phrases like "Oh my god, s/he is SO bae!" It's really annoying, pretty much the word of any teen girl along with "Like" "Totally" "Starbucks" and "Oh Em Gee!"
I've recently been irritated by the elongation of the commonly used - but still rather irksome - abbreviation 'lol'. The dullards in question type 'lolololol' seemingly to illustrate just how hilarious they found the text/post they are responding to. Now, unless I'm missing something, they are in effect, saying 'laugh out loud out loud out loud out loud. . .' This makes no sense. The damn fools!
Where do you get protein from? this is manly heard by us non-meat eaters. Annoying to still hear in an age where info like this can be looked up in under a minute.
It also sounds really stupid. A laughter is something like, "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!" This is "lawl lawl lawl lawl lawl" which does not sound like laughter.
I had a friend who would say "lol" (pronounced loll, not ell-oh-ell) in normal conversation. I've noticed all the friends I talk about in this thread are ex-friends.
I feel like you must work where I do. I hear all of these every day. Also, "please advise"' As in, "(Insert passive agressive observation or question here.) Please advise." Um.. no.
Can we can the words 'tea' and 'British' being in the same sentence? Most people I know drink bloody coffee! Or beer.
When people say, 'So then he turns around and says...' Why did they turn around, exactly? And the use of the word 'Dogma' - just say religious beliefs, you pretentious twat!
"Just saying..." Okay? So then say it. Or don't say it. It usually tries to "soften" something mildly offensive. "That sweater is pretty hideous...just saying." Also these recent slang terms that have sprung up in teen conversation: "Ratchet" "Basic" "Bae" "Thirsty"
Sorry I could not help my self. I cannot stand the word 'LOL', it is just in poor taste. Thought I would share a quote that denotes those who deliberately misspell it. "Congratulations on misspelling the word LOL. There's only three letters in that word. So it's really quite an accomplishment to fuck that one up." -Creationist Cat-
One of the secretaries where I work litters meeting minutes with "Tenderiser advised that..." or "Tenderiser to advise the meeting if..." Gah.
People that ask "How are you?" and proceed to ask you question the moment that you suddenly feel obliged to answer with the casual "I am fine/good/well." even if you are clearly not well. Both of these things should be dropped from English. It is silly to ask a question and then not want/wait for an answer before you throw requests at me! If you do not want to be nice, then skip the "How are you"-type questions instead of cutting me off the moment I open my mouth! "Oh, hello. How are you doing today?" "...I am-" "Hey, I wanted to ask you.... <string of demands>" "....Okay."
Lmao is an acceptable embellishment of the sentiment expressed by Lol. There is no reason for lolololol
