MegaSack DRAW - 6pm Christmas Eve - LIVE on our YouTube Channel
Right, thankfully the 'I rocked up' one seems to be on the wane a bit now, but in it's place we now have the word 'Random' being used to describe anything apart from things that are truly random. It's tolerable in teenagers, but makes me cringe in fully formed adults.
So does this set anyone else on edge when they hear it, or am I uniquely old and grumpy in my intolerance? 🙂
And for fellow grumpy people are there any current phrases that get on your mammaries too? And don't suggest meme, that's far too obvious 🙂
Poeple that say "meme" instead of "habit" or some other simple word.
And don't suggest meme, that's far too obvious
aaah ... cock 🙁
Have you seen this?[url=
"you know my legs?"
"mm?"
"you know how many i've always had and that?"
"like,? two legs or some shit like that?"
"yeah well i've only got one leg now."
"...random."
anything to do with tv shows/films/cultures i'm too old to understand.
using the word "jokes" instead of "funny" ( "yeah blad it was bare jokes innit" i think translates as "of course old chap, that was a rather amusing incident wasn't it")
I've found myself saying "my bad" recently.
Just over half way down this page. 😉
Oh hai,
I for one welcome our meme overlords.
In Soviet Russia meme makes you.
KTHXBYE
The word "meme" literally makes me punch myself in the face repeatedly it's so annoying.
Great link toys19. Standard
Thanks for the "Heads Up" <-- that's my one. F^&%in yanks.
Small irritations include
Can I get? Well hardly that's their job
I was "like". No, you were or you facking weren't.
Coffee cup sizes in that London
I was "stoked"
Cosmic...
Just over half way down this page
All male cluster bum? Thankfully that's not a meme round my way yet
The misuse of terms to describe something that isn't actually their true meaning.
WTF's a meme? Just an annoying new phrase/idiom? When did 'we' start calling them memes?
How do you pronounce it? Mee-mee or meem or, even worse meh-meh?
Oh my days...
Meme, like gene 🙂
Originally coined by Dawkins in the selfish gene. As a mechanism for applying evolutionary theory to human behaviours.
Willing to be corrected, on that though.
I've heard a few kids say 'LOL' when they think something is funny. Really gets on my nerves.
Also noticed a few teenagers speak about themselves in the 3rd person.
bloody crazy kids!
Lol - no I hadn't wikipedia'd that first 🙂
Ironically, Dawkin's own theory could be seen as a very faulty "meme" since we now know that the information that is transmitted from one cell to another is not simple in the genes, but is more an emergent property from the interaction of the genes, plus many other elements within the cell. Dawkins though has doggedly stuck to his guns and failed to embrace the new scientific paradigm..........

??????????
Some of these literally make me explode.
Your mileage may vary / YMMV.
moanytrackworld in old people don't like things they don't really understand shocker.
The use of 'shut up' to express disbelief.
Really winds me up for some inexplicable reason!

My 17 year old sister inlaw did that whilst laughing.
Yourself/myself instead of you/me - even some supposedly bright people do that such as my boss.

Yeah? Literally? Any video footage? ;0)
One that bugs me is:
'Have you got...?'
'Yes, I do...'
No, you 'have' not you 'do' you ****ing ****tbucket. aaaargh.

That is brilliant! And they (try to) call it evolution!

Presume you've been watching repeats of early Friends episodes? That "craze" was around when I was a sprog. Either that or you're a slow uptake kind of guy!
'Have you got...?'
'Yes, I do...'
No, you 'have' not you 'do' you ****ing ****tbucket. aaaargh
Its just short for "Yes, I do have.." but you don't have to say the "have" part because its already been mentioned.
"Yes, I do..." is the correct way of saying it.
"Suggest ways in which one might deal
with some of the staging difficulties
in a production of Ibsen's Peer Gynt."
- And you wrote, "Do it on the radio"?
resonate...
gotten...
off of...
The 'got' in the original question is entirely superfluous
'Have you the screwdriver?'
'Yes, I (do) have the screwdriver'
It sounds weird without it but it never used to be there. It's evolution of language, innit

I read a book about glue last night.
I couldn't put it down.

The same thing happens to me. I think in my case though its because the elastic that stops me loosing my mittens is too short, 'cos it happens when I try to hail a cab too.

I just lolled in the office.
Don't get me started on the elastic that stops me loosing my socks
"The Awesome."
Grindingly irritating.
WTF are memes?
the STW singlespeeders have wierd beards meme
darkside

pimp and bling - both are vile
"back in the day"
Actually, It's quite nice shorthand English.
Oh dear. I hope this isn't about to become a meme.

I heard this on the train recently:
"Me gear were bare dollar"
As far as I could work out, his cocaine was very expensive.
A local one to me I think, and I'm not sure if it's a meme or just a lack of education but "we was" being spoken instead of "we were". I don't know why but it's just really annoying.
"shizzle" or any word which rhymes with it
"back in the day" awful faux-folksiness
"I'm, like, [i]so[/i] loving this look, girlfriend" There's just one Gok Wan. You're not him.

Not sure about memes, but...
The phrase 'gets on my tits' is pretty annoying. Only really relevant if you're female or an overweight IT worker.
"literally". no, not literally, not even sure you mean metaphorically.
"literally". no, not literally, not even sure you mean metaphorically.
I literally covered that, like, 40 posts ago.
Such and such "really boils my piss", and all similar urine related heating comments.
I don't understand where this came from, or why, but it irritates me.
A bloke I work with says 'and so on and so forth' when discussing most things.
tl;dr

Literally everyone seems to have recently developed the habit (or meme) of starting a reply to a question with 'yeah, no' or 'no, yeah'
You watch for it, everyone does it! I'm sure it's just a recent thing as well.
Double negatives annoy me intensly too, I think I may have been a grammar school teacher in a previous life.
'at the end of the day' makes me want to kill the utterer.
I had a bad motorbike accident involving an uninsured driver, my solicitor was an inefficient stupid patronising cow who I had to deal with for over 12 months before I got my compo, she used it every 2nd sentence on the phone. Arrgh

i think more than just grammar is taught at grammar schools, by the way.

Dawkins defined a meme as a unit of cultural transmission, or a unit of imitation, which pretty much covers a phrase or saying that is spread though cultural discourse.
The problem, or maybe genius, is that such a definition is quite vague which in turn either leads to people complaining that what others think is a meme isn't a meme. Of course the genius is that this can then be cited as an example of the evolutionary process of the definition of a meme 🙂

"you know what i mean" inserted randomly and without real meaning. Grrr.
"you know what i meme" ?

Tell me about it. It reminds me of a very sexy girl I once fancied. 😯
