An intelligent person would find there are already lots of suitable words and not need to make up new ones.

An intelligent person wouldn’t generally say people are making up new words, when they’re just using existing ones in a way that you don’t understand. They certainly wouldn’t accuse other people of being unintelligent owing to their own lack of comprehension. This is a gap in your vocabulary not theirs. Vocabulary isn’t a sign of intelligence but unwillingness to learn often is, as is judging things without bothering to understand them first

The more you assume you know, the less you learn

STW grammar grandads in “I can’t keep up with the kids and i’m not stoked about it” shocker!!

I don’t think it’s even an age thing as opposed to conceited snobbery acted out in the perfect arena (STW). I wonder how many, if any of these guys would correct Steve Peat or Chris Kovarik, or Shaun Palmer if they were riding with them and they claimed to be stoked (considering the STW demographic it would probably be on an all inclusive skills course/whisky tasting/ Santa Cruz demo in the south of France or something).

I’m going to go out on a limb and say none, because to do so in that context would mark you out as miserable, po-faced little bitch.

This thread is positively stoking my furnace.

on an all inclusive skills course/whisky tasting/ Santa Cruz demo in the south of France or something

I’d be stoked to be on a holiday like that… 😉

So what would the person on the front of a tandem be if the person on the back puts in a lot of effort?

So many answers molgrips, most of them obscene…

OED definition is:

informal, chiefly North American
Excited or euphoric:
when they told me I was on the team, I was stoked

In bold is the main issue IMO, we don’t call them fenders, or sidewalks etc. so we should use excited or euphoric etc. and leave the old colonies to their ‘funny’ colloquialisms.

Remember this is Great Britain and we do things proper 😉

If you were in the US and someone used the word ‘fortnight’ would you have a go at them for adopting Britishisms?

how about amazeballs, even worser.

plus the idea of seal failure “in the wild” seems like a fundamental insecurity I don’t like much! Maybe I’ll risk a set soon!

Well the original quote was from the colonies….

Stoked is overused.
So is schralp by STW staff at present.
Just say no.

my dad was a stoker in’t war,strange but true
