Swag and yolo are pretty much the dumbest ones of all.

Its amazing to think that swagger was still a classy word until only recently.
Ya mean till it was reappropriated by hip hop and black culture to basically mean exactly the same thing except the 'er'

Some of you guys are so uptight man seriously. Go get some air.

It was classy at some point? I thought it was some ignant ghetto talk. Ah the irony.

Basically Nick has made the most sensible post in this thread.

Let me make it clear that slang was never meant to be a part of this thread.

I didn't realize this topic would devolve into a hipster hangout where we talk about how much we despise popular slang. And to top it off, we have one person here trying to proclaim his hate for "today's music" Yea well f*** off.

"making bank"
"potatas"
"fucking A"

People who say any of those things should be killed. Though strangely enough where I'm from, people use "mad" and "wicked" as adverbs, but those don't really bother me.

Here's other words I hate that need their own explanations:

"Liberal," not because I necessarily disagree with "liberals," but because I've heard the word used as a pejorative way too many times. I just feel like it's often misused and it's really annoying. It's also just an ugly sounding word.

"Mosh." It's ugly-sounding and overused. I always hear people talking about "moshing" and going in "mosh pits" at blink-182 concerts and how they think it makes them edgy. Can't people just call them "pits?" Granted, the origin of the word "mosh" is fascinating.

Hmmm... I'll post more later if I think of more.

Nice try, but when have the words "ignant ghetto talk" ever been associated with upstanding whites such as yourself? How often are they associated with these black people who use the "swag" that you so hate?

Don't try and talk your sub conscious out of this.

I do agree with hipster being over used though. That word doesn't even mean shit anymore. I've seen it being used in so many wildly different ways, it's ridiculous.

And no Beags I don't get what you are saying. Swag means exactly the same thing it meant years ago. The only difference is now a lot of black people use it, and that's basically what's pissing people off because people are dumb and pathetic and instead of getting on with their lives they get really frustrated by harmless words that mean nothing to them. If only half these air breathers dedicated as much time and effort to hating words like "faggot" and "nigger" we'd probably have a half decent and respectable society to live in.

LOL upstanding whites. Have you never met white ghetto trash? That's who I see use the word most often. Again, jumpin at shadows and seeing racism where there is none. (from me, I'm sure you're right about a lot of others getting uppity for the reasons you mentioned)

General elitist gaming terms bother me. Having a 12 year old kid (and worse, people my own age) use terms like "get raped" "bad kid" and "scrub" makes me grab for my metaphorical box of tissues and weep for a better tomorrow.

Also the phrase: "At the end of the day" really gets on my nerves for unknown reasons.

If that's what you are saying to me, then I believe you. But lets face it, "ignant" and "ghetto" are both terms heavily associated with black people and also commonly used to demean black people or other ethnic minorities. You were also commenting on a word that is used pre dominantly by black people. It's not a huge leap. I'm not in the business of wildly accusing people of being racist, I just pick up on shit that comes off as ..wrong or disrespectful. You don't strike me as the almighty dickhead racist type though, which is another reason as to why I brought it up. If this was O Rei (only old members will know who I mean) we was talking about I wouldn't of batted an eye lid cause I know that motherfuckers a piece of shit.

I think the hate on swag is because of 12-14 year old kids using it, not black people.

Hmmm let's see

N*gger or N*gguh - I hear this way too much online and irl.
"That's so gay"
"You feel me"
Wicked
Radical
Cray
ridic (ridiculous)
rape (gamers' usage)
bitches

Also just that whole other English language that includes n#gguh, bitchez, and things like that is so annoying. I don't know what it's called. Maybe street talk or something? Gangster? I dunno, whatever. I see it all the time on here.

I thought "swag" was just a pop-culture thing. For the time that's it's been popular, it's always struck me as a word used by poseurs who are just trying to project the "ghetto" image. I hear it mostly from the frat-boy college-type kids.

"You feel me"
I want to start saying this more. I'd like to see the Rocket Power-type language brought back, like "lamo," "no problemo," "wicked," etc. etc.

Swag and swagger first came back as a popularised phrase when Jay-Z, Kanye, Lil' Wayne and T.I. released Swagger Like Us and that was yeeeeeeears ago. It then blew up again more recently with Odd Future and Tyler, The Creator.

what words once meant and what they mean today is what makes a word asinine. who knows? 10 years from now, those who hate yolo and swag probably wont even be phased by it. but when it's used so seamlessly and flippantly with asinine logic behind it, then fuck the word. (for now)

oh, and you know. you know is not a fucking comma, stop using it as a comma, you fucks.
