These are also the only type of people who celebrate New Year's Eve.

i imagine them cavorting with tin whistles and throwing confetti

illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Monday, 17 April 2017 14:23 (nine years ago)

In my mind a "reveller" wears a jester hat and invades your space by provocatively waving glowsticks in yr face, tasers should be optional.

jar-jar bin laden (Ye Mad Puffin), Friday, 21 April 2017 13:57 (nine years ago)

This is very petty but "yeah" spelled any way other than that. E.g., Yea, ya, yah.

"social media has erupted" and its frequent companion "sparks ridicule"

"took to twitter"

illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 27 April 2017 22:22 (nine years ago)

"broke the internet" is played-out like a eight-track imo

okey-dokey, gnocchi (Ye Mad Puffin), Thursday, 27 April 2017 22:38 (nine years ago)

"took to twitter"

To be fair there are a lot of singers around today who sound like her

Josefa, Thursday, 27 April 2017 23:29 (nine years ago)

my point (which i didn't explain, to be fair) is that any prominent woman who speaks her mind is labelled "feisty" 99% of the time

early morning reverse rumplestiltskin rage (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 27 April 2017 23:41 (nine years ago)

I've gotten "a real live wire" from two different old dudes more than ten years apart.

I feel like the only time I see "formidable" before "opponent" is "formidable woman" to describe someone who speaks above a whisper

briscall stool chart (wins), Friday, 28 April 2017 06:50 (nine years ago)

'fiercely independent'

kinder, Friday, 28 April 2017 12:40 (nine years ago)

Any mutation of the "Keep _______ Weird" concept. Like I hear people offhandedly calling places "weird" as a compliment, or saying that a city has "weird areas" by which they mean hipster gentrified neighborhoods.

Man you guys are on a roll

Last night I got called a groupie and I responded that calling me (us, 2 women) a groupie is insulting. He agreed and then later I asked for the wifi pwd for the bar and he called me milady :-/

as a citizen of Austin, where I believe that phrase originated, I sincerely apologize. It was meant to indicate support for local businesses, which I can get behind, but it is still very cringeworthy.

So we're using 'liberal' as a pejorative on ilx now. Cool.

ultros ultros-ghali, Wednesday, 17 May 2017 13:06 (nine years ago)

now? since at least ilxors got hip to the left vs. liberal tiff.

feel like we should just keep bumping this thread until infinity's gif disappears below the fold but i actually do have a word which has been annoying me recently - the use of 'iconic' to describe even the most mundane things

feels like it's taking over from 'epic' as the internet wasteman's adjective of choice
