Slang Terms

I’ve noticed lately that some new slang terms have become fashionable. If you can’t help but to use some obscure subculture-based horseshit as part of an adult conversation, please post it here and give the people who have lives a clue as to what you’re talking about.

The most recent one I’ve seen is, “XD”. I googled this term and found that according to some “urban dictionary”, (certainly a reliable and respected academic source), that it’s a symbol meant to replace the common internet phrase “lol”, which incendentally also happens to be gay.

So help us out kids. Some of us are too caught up in other elements of adult life to be able to keep up with the latest internet loser slang. If you’re gonna say something normal, but with a stupid pop culture term, please post the term here and let the normal people of the world know that what you’re saying isn’t unintelligible horseshit.

Oh sure take the challenge out of language… Although I am forced to agree. I can’t change that fast either. :smiley:

I try to say ‘Haha’ isntead of LOL.

LOL just sounds stupid.

…fishizle.

XD is just another smiley Smears, like :laughing: . I´m sure even you have used such “loser” lingo on here!

I disagree. Language changes and grows. That makes it more fun. Keep the slang coming, I say.

imo = in my opinion

tl,dr = too long, didn’t read
Use if you want to comment on a long thread w/o (without) actually reading the content of it in its entirety; it clears your name if you repeat a point that’s already been made, or if you don’t think it’s necessary to read other people’s comments in order to answer a thread intellegently.

I like slang too Faust! (Acronyms especially.)

OMFGROFLMFAO!

What irony. :laughing:

Too busy? What do you do with the other 23 hours, 55 minutes of your day? :wink:

Smoke.
