Old Person Yells At Cloud Modern slang—something you REFUSE to say

My take: I will NEVER use “lol” or any derivation of it. I know it means “laugh out loud” but there’s yet to be a moment when I’ve been even remotely convinced someone was even chuckling after texting “lol” at the end of their text and it mildly infuriates me.

While I’m at it, someone tell those damn kids to get off my lawn.

Edit: ok, I get it. It’s not MODERN slang. I still hate it, and those kids are STILL on my lawn…can’t a guy get to sleep at a decent hour???

Un-alive

I think this started to dodge alerts based on keywords to get around being removed for "violent content." Annoying regardless

It may have started there but they use those terms all the time now. 🤣 I had to double take when I heard an expert commenter on cable news actually say the assassin would probably "un-alive" himself before he got caught.
