Is it just me that cringes when seemingly normal people type/say this?

Yup – its just you.

simples

no, simples

I don't like it. It's not a word. There is no need to use it. End of……..simple as.

not me, it's great when new words (or bastardisations of old ones) enter the common language.

if they didn't we'd all be speaking right odd

With any luck it will disappear from the zeitgeist as quickly as "wassup" did. Just another product of the fevered egos tainting our collective unconscious.

didnt we agree last week that it was racist?????? 😀

No 'cos russians ain't a race. Might be xenophobic tho

I like it, because it flags up idiots far quicker 🙂

I like it allows me to legally punch them square on between the eyes.

I like it, my bad?

I like it, my bad?

No 'cos russians ain't a race

According to the United Nations conventions, there is no distinction between the term racial discrimination and ethnic discrimination.

personally don't think it is offensive. the advert, at worst, accuses foreign people of having an accent.

simples – isn't it a plural form of "simple"?
No more I love you's

That's even more racist 😉

Is it too late to mention that it's just a Meerkat and they don't even really speak ….

For goodness sake – it's spelled "seemples"

Stamp it out!

Lots of folk saying it – You do the math!

Damn that meerkat. That advert has just been on as I was just about to type merlincycles.com and ended up typing meerkat.com 😕

I love it!! 8)

I like it better than that other Meerkat saying that was doing the rounds a few years ago.

'Ave you seen me dancin? I mean reeely dancin!'

It's not a word. There is no need to use it

anything is a word if people say it is :o) And need is a curious basis for vocabulary!

I
HATE
IT.

But isn't there a petition to get simples in the dictionary?

i think its perfectly acceptable for 12 year olds to say it

if it's rubbish, people will get fed up with it and stop saying it…

Looks like the Comparethemarket.com ad campaign has been a success then…

Yes it is annoying but shows people are influenced by watching too much crap on tv and copying the behaviour…

Don't show these saddos Texas chain saw massacre in case they copy that…

The things that wind some people up eh?

Looks like the Comparethemarket.com ad campaign has been a success then…

not necessarily – the merkats are cute but that doesn't necessarily translate into clicks.

I have opposite problem, I've heard this TV ad for online greetings cards, which I thought was "Blue Pig", but I can't find it 🙁

anyways

I like it & really couldn't give two fuggs what others think 8)

It's brilliant ! Just because we're talking about it, means it works !
Alexandr is even on FB.
