slang usage is embarrassing when employed recklessly

"fam" grates on me a bit. The bf's podcast facebook group call each other "fam bam" all the time which is arrrrgh
i also dislike virtue signalling as a phrase because it is used pejoratively by MRA cunts a lot.

that "fam" shit is really nauseating, but I suppose slang reaches the saturation point of annoying as fuck very fast these days, and we are all bad.

"fam" in my neighborhood is said almost every sentence, it's as common as "mate", it's just a filler word, scarcely noticeable

I'd never heard it until recently. Is that commonly used in a French language or french speaking Anglais context?

yes i've heard "fam" (or "fams") in the US and it's just as annoying

Jamaican origin maybe? Or West Indian.

(xp) I wouldn't have thought the US picked it up from the UK, so I imagine it must have come from the Caribbean community. Unless Arsenal TV is really popular in the US.

I’m fine with ‘fam’ and have been for the past 10 years or so.

some people on the internet seem to think a 'stan' is a celebrity who is the object of a fan's obsession:

I really applaud the way he stood up for @chloebennet and women in general. Proves he is maturing and tackling issues that need to be spoken and the objectification of women by @ksi is one of them. Proud to call him my stan ❤️ pic.twitter.com/cUpBL5okDy— vic (@logansmeme) July 29, 2018
in another decade this will have become the dominant usage, and anyone who tries to correct it ("have you even heard that Eminem song from 30 years ago?") will be written off as a joyless prescriptivist windbag 😔

I haven't searched the internet for it because I know it would dismay me but I'm certain there's a clever business from which you can obtain gently used clever one-liners to display cleverly each day outside your liquor store or bar.

I have some friends who aren’t voting for Ben Jealous because one of them sat opposite BJ and his much younger girlfriend on a train and had to put up with the pair making out across from him for almost the whole journey.
