fads and phrases and annoying things we are sick of 2009

still tired of terrorist fist bumps, esp. when my kids come back from spending time with a relative or friend of the family who has taught them this "awesome" gesture of solidarity. My kids don't know better, so obv. I bump back, but I'm annoyed with the adults for sure.

Do they say "terrorist fist bump" when they do it?? I am intrigued.

it's a dap, jesus.

threads i am sick of in 2010

clever

no, I am calling it a terrorist fist bump for the teeny bit of late 2008 amusement I get in saying it. My kids just do it, grin, & run away.

it's a dap, jesus.

2009 term

...this thread is weak sauce

people who say "shizzle dizzle" and stuff like that man that' sbeen out of style for like six years get wif it

Dude needs to get wif it

sorry if this has been mentioned already but i cringe whenever i hear "this is OUR TIME!" on the social network ad. i feel like irl people don't actually say that, just people on television.

you're right I saw the social network ad on television

it was also a thing in the 90s to say "bullshit" preceded by a fake cough/throat clearing

I feel like this was an 80s movie thing.

maybe - i remember it from highschool - which was late 80s/early 90s - could very well have come from an 80s movie

I did get a mean laugh at the movie theater though when Sally Struthers came on in a pre-film commercial and said something like "I look and feel the best I ever have"

and I semi-ironically yelled out "BULLSHIT". I was more making fun of dumb humor than of Sally Struthers though.

didn't it come from "The Breakfast Club"?

people definitely still did the "bullshit" throat clear when i was in middle school in the early-mid 90s

its certainly in it

we also said "I Hearrrrrrrrrrrrd that!" when someone got dissed

and in elementary school there was "GO SUCK AN EGG"

"crazy talk" seems extremely lazy

:/ i say that all the time. i am extremely lazy tbf.

speaking of laaaazy ... it's almost the end of 2010

"crazy talk" feels almost like it might be a simpsons thing?

Indian: That's crazy talk!
Bart: No, it's true.
Indian: No, I know, that's my brother, Crazy Talk.

"tekkers", as propagated by soccer am twats iirc. cannot stand it.

"do work"
"hot mess"

^ this. Also my husband has taken to saying it, presume he thinks because I watch Soccer AM that I think this is a thing. I don't.

there may be a new thread for this that i didnt find, but search sux:

really tired of people saying, like, "i luh dis" and "really doe." stop.

i basically mean "typing"

Bae

I had my kids do a last day of school activity where they made a poster correcting a common mistake they do in writing or see in their classmates'. One guy drew a giant frowny face and under it wrote "why does everyone write bae instead of babe?" like full of genuine confusion.

Wait I 100% legit thought "bae" was meant to represent "boy" said in a comedy Scottish accent
