Is "like" like dead now?

SherKhan

Heh. Wiseass.

Now give me my farking compliment already, farker!

'Jah-Yah' should be the new term for 2004

"homicide bomber", that's just a form of political correctness from the right. Personally I find it stupid, as it is denying the very aspect that makes such people so farking dangerous and hard to stop.

WaDDup Dawg...
/whatever

YaY yoopers! you know they all have the all mad skills up there!

If we're not careful, the next generation will be talking like they were raised in the the hood. All kids today, Black, White, Asian, whatever, they all sound like a bunch of Rap nubians. Martin Luther King's dream may soon come true....all men will be equal....equally ignorant and uneducated sounding when they speak. Highway to hell. I got nothin' else. Ba-Ling Ba-Ling!

ruta: What can I say about the gift of light to FARK that is ruta that isn't more appropriately (and probably already) sung by the Hosts of Heaven themselves under direct edict from God? In the bleakest of times, in the angriest threads, in amidst flame-fests and pissing contests; I can always scan for hope by typing in "ruta" and bathing in the wisdom, wit, and wonder that are your posts.

/your profile leaves little to work with. I'm just sayin...

*NEWS FLASH*

If you think of yourself as a metrosexual, be aware that everyone else thinks you are gay.

If you are into bling bling, everyone else thinks you are a shallow insecure asshole.

That is all.

I got edited. That should be Rap Neeggas, not Nubians.

"Homicide bombers" is used because the bomber isn't really committing suicide -- he/she is killing others. It's actually more accurate.

I dread it when people substitute numbers for letters in words, or use Zs where Ss are to be used. Those two things are repugnant. Those people should be buried somewhere.

For instance: OWNED is not PWN3D. That looks more like "pawned." And they're not "boobiez," they're "boobies." Dammit.

BuckeyeDEJ

So you're saying that people who intentionally set bombs off while wearing them don't kill themselves?

they're only boobies if you're not from Zilwaukee, my friend.

Added Todd Facklas of Chicago: "Yes, your mom might say it. Nothing could kill the mystique of a word faster."

And there is the answer to getting rid of the annoying words/phrases. Just have the older generations use them to p1ss off the kids.

and it's not a word, but if there's one thing I could eliminate for 2004 it's those stupidass white trash kids around here that JUST picked up the trucker hat trend and insist on looking like drunken farmer elves by wearing them tilted and turned to the side.

Well, SherKhan you are an artist for having created so much from so little, AND with the guaranteed style included. I am a satisfied customer. Thank you, sir.

Huh?

By that definition there is no tactical difference between a Tim McVeigh and a Mohammed Atta. I beg to differ on that one.

I guess I should say, that was a shadiggy compliment. Shadiggity, even.

flypusher713

it's just a word invented to sound different.

just like all of this slang, culture, and trends people have biatched about, they've come about as a countereffect to something else.

give the world a year or two and maybe we'll see the counter-counter-effect, intelligent music and art becoming popular again. maybe.

maybe not. but, change drives the world, and Fox News leads that change with 'homicide bomber'. I congratulate their marketing department.

suicide-- killing one's self

bomber-- one who bombs.

So... one who bombs who will also kill one's self in the process.

In case further proof was needed that Fox News operates on its own special level of stupid. And yet, further proof was offered with "islamikaze".

They supply infinite proof, just look at that asinine lawsuit over Al Franken's book title. Yeah, like that wasn't fated to get laughed out of court!

Damn. BuckeyeDEJ thinks I should be buried somewhere.

Farkeologist

You are a tool.

From your website:
In the middle of some complaint:
"ignoramuses (no, I don't care if that's not really a word)"

In another complaint:
""Anyways" This is NOT a word, people! STOP saying it. You sound SILLY!"

moron

flypusher713 Better than that, I think, is when Fox threatened to sue the makers of The Simpsons for an episode in which Fox News was mocked (including a brilliant news crawler), until it was pointed out that Fox would be paying lawyers to defend itself against itself.

kcm, the term annoys me because I see it as a departure from the wise old maxim: "know your enemy".

Damn! That is amazingly dense! I agree, that is better. No doubt the lawyers weren't very happy with whomever blabbed (the Fox execs don't sound smart enough to have figured that one out for themselves!).

long live the Simpsons!

When I have to explain to my six year old daughter what a ho is and why she should not say "I'm a ho! I can do what I want! Whatevah!"...I know that slang has crossed the line.

/not me, somebody ELSE let their kid watch Southpark.....

ROTFLMAO, oops, my bad.

Hey, I took the word coont into my lexicon a long arse time ago and even today, I still get surprised looks from people when they hear me use it on a regular basis.

I can't stand it when I hear 20 y/o kids saying "back in the day". The phrase is played out and lame when anyone says it, but a person who thinks 2001 was "back in the day" deserves to be smacked.

"Anyways" is really beginning to annoy me too.

Matt Groening's list of banned words for 2004 should be out soon.

i hate:
*bling-bling (just because rappers use it doesn't mean you have to)

*metrosexual (you're a wuss, get over it)

*teh (it's the, and it's not funny)

*pwned (pawned? pewned? oh, you mean owned. learn to spell)

*w00t (i just don't like w00t)

*shock and awe (and any media buzzwords. i hate media buzzwords)

*confederate flags on your truck (one of many awful memes coined by dean)

*wmd's and weapons of mass destruction (they're called bombs or missiles. a gun isn't a weapon of personal destruction)

*sars (overhyped disease. whatever happened to aids and hiv?)

*mad cow (i bet the media just loves saying mad cow)

i hate the media for making all these and more stupid words. i also hate people who use them because it's the "in" thing and they are too lazy to go look up a thesaurus. i'm seriously thinking of moving to the united kingdom where english has retained its purity and hasn't become the linguistic wasteland that americans speak.

I'm so going to the bar.

I submitted Yahoo's version of this article several days ago and was greeted with a "This link has already been submitted and rejected". Bah.

/not bitter

Heheh. Just for chonny69: London Slang

...and damn link is unfetchable so cut-and-paste:

Would it be more acceptable if we said something like: Metrosexual caught nabbing bling bling, goes to big house, gets punked, creates gay prison punk band, all get released for good behavior and now are up their asses in bling, but they are still punks. I never quite understood the word punk. When I was a kid a punk was just any kid who you did not like or someone you thought was generally squirrley etc. Now it refers to something else and I am totally confused: would someone please better define what a modern punk is and how it differs from punked....

What kind of stupid-ass questions are these? 'Do you drink Evian'? Well, I buy bottled waters sometimes, is that a farkin' problem?

Waxing and plucking eyebrows, though - yeah, that's a definiate sign of something.

" PM BobC
I never go to Fark parties because I'm afraid there will be sexual deviants there."

Funny, I don't go to Fark parties because I'm afraid there WON'T be any sexual deviants there.

/likes gags born before Bob Hope.

I've never found the antics of deviants to be one bit amusing!

Weapons of Mass Destruction

I prefer Weapons of slightly more than average destruction

or Weapons of moderate desctruction, but then again, I'm canadian...

Cyc66: I prefer Weapons of slightly more than average destruction

Weapons of total destruction
"that's no moon"

Weapons of Moderate Inconvenience, maybe? You know, like rubber bullets, or the French Army!

I agree with the 'metrosexual' ban. "Fop" is just as effective and has four fewer syllables.

Fop is a good word; so is twaddle.

Actually, I wish our Black people would be more like the British.

*runs*

A little late, but here are my picks.

Calling people Tools, or calling them noobs...

That is getting old.

Oh, and using misspelled foul language in message forums, like it`s so important to cuss that you`ll misspell a word just so you can use it.
