Banished Words for 2007

I thought this was funny. I agree with most of the list. Does anyone have some they'd like to add????

These were in my newspaper, too. I'd like to banish:

nuclear ('cuz everyone, including the president, seems to pronounce it nucular)

 

Ah, good choice!

 

What word would you put on the list Kinders?

vent vent vent

 

Well, since you mentioned it.............

 

"my bad"--a "cooler" version of "sorry" still doesn't excuse inappropriate behaviour.

 

tru dat!

 

How about, "word".

 

hmmmmm how about Wicked.

 

"yo"

 

I would like to banish "snap". It's used instead of "shoot" or "cool".

 

I've never heard that before!

 

Kinder I was just thinking the same thing...maybe I am just to old to hear something like that! (Well not to old just not the right age group )

 

Yeah Rosie......not too old.........just not the right age group! I like how you think!!!!!!!!! That would be a GREAT quote in my signature!!!!!!! hehehe

 

A lot of my kids say it and so does our Art teacher. It drives me nuts.

 

My gosh, you guys just listed most of my vocabulary! Except for nuclear, of course.

 

BTW, I have long disliked 'we're pregnant'. What's this we stuff??

 

oh no, Jaime. That can't be bannished. I say that word waaaay too much!

 

Hello, I am a Super Dooper Pooper Scooper.
I Hate computer jargon.
IMHO I hate that.

 

It took me a really long time to figure out what that meant when I first started seeing people using it.

 

I don't ever read a post if they have a bunch of that crap on their post. It takes less time to just type out the words.

 

KWIM?

 

Oh, that one too! Everytime I read it the word "swim" pops into my head and then I'm all thrown off.

 

I dont know what KWIM is ........... and have no idea that snap means the same as shoot .......... isnt that what you do with a gun .........maybe us Aussies dont pick up on all the words you guys use.

Mind you, i wouldn't mind banishing the word 'ho'. After all, I would take offence if someone went around saying whore all the time, and it means the same thing doesnt it?

 

"Snap" means the same as "shoot" when "shoot" is used as a substitute for "s***", as in , "Oh, snap, I forgot my essay at home!".

 

Ohhhhhh thanks! I have never heard that before either.

 

That's how they use it, except in second grade it's their homework or library book they forgot.

 

I don't allow my little kids to use "Oh Shoot", so I would tell them that Oh Snap it is not allowed either.

 

Know What I Mean? (computer lingo,Molly. ) Guess it's not really a word.

 

Ohhhh, 'snap'. That's the one I was trying to think of. I'm not cool enough. Or, kewl enough, I should say.

 

"Snap." Doesn't get much dumber than that. I'd rather hear s h i t than snap.

 

"Dude" and "Sweet": both male junior high jargon

 

Ohhhh, these all annoy me. I must be easily annoyed.

 

They all annoy me too. I just know that when I get back to school on Monday, my grade 7 and 8 boys will have another new word or two that will drive me "right round the bend".

 

IMHO ...?? what does it stand for?

 

In my honest opinion -or- In my humble opinion

 

Like I said earlier, I can't stand any of the computer words and half the time I have no idea what some of the posters are talking about so I don't even read them.

 

I hate it when someone says "It sucks!" or "That sucks!"

 

yeah...I'm not a big fan computer lingo....I use it sometimes...but only the ones that are really well known!!
I know alot of people use DH on this site ......and no offense...I can't stand it!! I think it should be banished!!!
