Of course it can be a positive phrase. You only live once, so live honorably and be healthy and do good, etc. I think the difference lies in the people who use the entire phrase vs. the people who use the YOLO acronym. I've never seen somebody use the YOLO acronym (either when posting pictures or text about themselves on social media or verbally speaking the acronym, i.e. "yo-low") in regards to being in a committed, monogamous relationship or drinking responsibly, or anything like that. In short, "you only live once" = don't use your one life acting like an idiot. "YOLO" = act like an idiot. |

"Shoehorn" It's such an oft-used word in gaming journalism, and by regular people trying to describe the faults of a game/franchise. i.e -The designers shouldn't shoehorn multiplayer and this crap into xxxxxx Edited by Rico, Mar 16 2013, 04:07:51 AM.

I don't use shoehorn often, but I don't hate the word either. What's so bad about it? is it simply being overused? |

@Rico Shoehorned is a good word to describe in that situation. Activision do shoehorn single player in to Call of Duty Games. I see nothing wrong there. "Brah", "Sick Cunts", anything spawned by that roid munching, self-obsessed waste of blood and organs douche (I'm English and I love the word douche) who at least had the decency to die and remove himself from the gene pool. Responding to "Can I ask you a question?" with "You mean may 'I ask you a question?'" People really don't like that. Edited by Wayno, Mar 16 2013, 02:43:14 PM.

Brah also gets on my nerves, mostly because of how it sounds. And I hated how my old teachers always did that. You got the point, tell me yes or no. That's it. |

yeah that's exactly what i said before. the word 'hipster' is utterly useless. all meaning has been eroded, people have misappropriated it so many times it has just become some kind of generic insult. it makes me cringe more than anything. |

Lmao, touche. The double "kk" is always a pain in my side when I read it. Especially if it's from a girl after I said something of importance. |

Couldn't agree more man, the term is construed into something far from the actual meaning of it. 9/10 of the time the people who use it are using it incorrectly. I'm not even sure how to properly define it

I use that term to fuck with the friends I have that listen to indie music. Not because I have a problem with it, but because it gets under their skin and is major source of amusement for me. Now the word used to be used to insult that subculture that wears fake glasses, where skinny jeans from American outfitters, hangs out at Starbucks, but most importantly do it to fit in. Because six months previously, they were listening to rap music or country music or whatever. Trends are just marvelously stupid and entertaining to make fun of. |
