Slate's fallen and can't get up!

Wow, and I thought I was a little behind on the cool internet scene. At least "DarkScarab is the greatest lover of all" wasn't on there. Because noone has ever said it but, at least millions of people haven't discredited it.

But no, it's not true...I'll go cry now.

For Chrissakes, stop complaining about all of the words you don't like.

"We're gonna awesome you, sheriff. But we're gonna awesome you real slow."

^_^ is the "worst new emoticon."

Wow.

He's going to flip his shiat when he sees ಠ_ಠ

That was very unfunny. And dated. Half of that stuff had been made popular ages ago.

O-face = Office Space
Junk = Black Eyed Peas' My Humps and Justin Timberlake/Andy Samberg's SNL digital short "Dick in a box".
etc.

it is what it is

Meh

FloydA: I kept waiting, wondering, is this article going to become funny?
Will it become poignant?
Perhaps it will provide some insight into the ever-changing culture of 21st century America and our never-ending search for novelty for its own sake.

But nope, it stayed boring and vacuous all the way to the end.

Fortunately, although this article left me disappointed in ways that will probably never truly heal, at least I can take comfort in the fact that I will always have my fond memories of DarkScarab, the greatest lover of all.

Ahhhh, yes, I remember that night...Well, not really. No, not at all. What did you do to me? And what was with the goat and the rubber fist? I still owe my doctor $500. And why do I feel the need to take five showers now?

This article sucks a lot, just like subby's mom did last night.

In a way, you can read this as an article about which memes and catchphrases have penetrated our culture so deeply that even 65 year old Jewish scholars who write books like Explaining Hitler and The Shakespeare Wars are sick of them.

He completely ignored both "Wazzzzup!?" AND "Where's the Beef."

Your blog sucks.

Now I am OCDing about how I talk and comment in public forums...meh. And while you weren't my greatest lover DarkScarab, you did make me laugh. Those times have fueled many a masturbatory O-face! ^_^

The spark that ignited their partnership was provided by Wozniak's mother. Mr. Wozniak had graduated from high school and enrolled at the University of California, Berkeley, when she sent him an article from the October 1971 issue of Esquire magazine. The article, "Secrets of the Little Blue Box," by Ron Rosenbaum, detailed an underground hobbyist culture of young men known as phone phreaks who were illicitly exploring the nation's phone system.

Mr. Wozniak shared the article with Mr. Jobs, and the two set out to track down an elusive figure identified in the article as Captain Crunch. The man had taken the name from his discovery that a whistle that came in boxes of Cap'n Crunch cereal was tuned to a frequency that made it possible to make free long-distance calls simply by blowing the whistle next to a phone handset.

"A taco in Zaire" noticeably absent from the list.

Johnny_Canuck: Meh

This.

Never will I give up:

"I wear a (article of clothing) now, (article of clothing, plural) are cool."

Bow ties, fezes, cowboy hats, women's panties and stockings...

I can't help but read "meh" in Mallory Archer's voice.

anyone? anyone? 1986
meh- simpsons 1990s

He liked 'Meh'. As he should. It's the zeitgeist and is appropriate 90% of the time.

That's a wild ass guess, but Sturgeon's Law.

That move is called 'The Sandusky Shuffle' and the need to shower is pure nostalgia, DarkScarab, the greatest lover of all.

Dragonball Z Abridged has created several new catchphrases for me to use.

Also, Dragonball Z Abridged (the Team Four Star version) might actually be the most awesome thing on the internet that doesn't include porn.

The author of that lacktastical article needs a good ten-pinning.

You know the worst thing about 2011? You rapscallions getting your footprints all over my lawn, listening to your noise.

I use crowdsourcing in my work, so I'm getting a kick, etc...

The whole article might as well be Mallory Archer complaining about immigrants shooting all the jobs and putting all the free healthcare in their low-riders

huh?

I'm so f♥cking sick of people repeated "first world problems" like it's a goddamned fratboy mantra. Saying it does not make you deep. It makes you no different than your mom saying "there are starving kids in Africa" as a way to make you believe that eating her cooking was still better than being a victim of apartheid.

"First world problems" is not deep. It's not funny. It's not cool. It's you being a jackass, mimicking a comedian whose whole shtick seems to be raping George Carlin's best routines and delivering them to double-digit I.Q. fratboys in a way even they can understand.

It's about as cool as when people would keep saying "Loooking Gooood!" or "Well excuuuuuuse ME!" in the 1970s. It's the intellectual equivalent of "I'd buy that for a dollar!" or "Consume mass quantities!"

Yes, yes. We understand. You "get" what he's saying, and you're trying to display your ability to comprehend the world beyond the beer-stained walls of your frat house. Good for you. You get a cookie. Now shut up.

Louis CK is a good guy and can be pretty funny... It's his primary audience that drives me up a wall.

There, FTFM.

That list is so 2008.
