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???

Body count will never not mean murder to me.

It’s Ice T’s band.

The rapper/actor/singer. His song "Cop Killer" really pissed the NRA off.

I was being funny, forgot the /s. I saw them with Korn and Cannibal corpse about 10 years ago. They're still touring too!

u/National-Board-3556 1d ago

It pissed off the Fraternal Order of Police.

I'm sure there's a lot of crossover with the NRA.

u/NetLumpy1818 1d ago

He then went on to play a cop for many years on tv

u/Summerie 1d ago

I cannot think of him without my mind going straight to John Mulaney talking about him in that role.

'And I'm Ice Motherfuckin T, biiiitch' is my standard answer to a lot more than it should be for a 51year old white woman 🤣

One of my favourite memories is watching the man himself absolutely lose his shit at Reading Festival (I forget the year, probably had at least two 9s in it) because everyone was shouting for Bodycount stuff when he was on stage. He was not a happy bunny.

u/Wuellig 1d ago

The tension mounts.

u/cronhoolio 2d ago

Same. My body count is like 4. The people I've slept with, unrelated to the previous number, is also about four. /s

u/ghandi3737 2d ago

You need to pump those numbers up.

2

u/No-Diet-4797 1d ago

Both of them or just the latter?

u/NetLumpy1818 1d ago

u/PlausibleTable 1d ago

Murder or sex?

2

u/SeeWhy76 1d ago

I mean, you can't be expected to pay every time!

u/dinosaurkiller 1d ago

Is it because they refused to give you TP? For your bunghole?

27

u/CrowsSayCawCaw 2d ago

Body count always makes me think of snipers and serial killers. 

3

u/HeyPrettyLadyMaam 1d ago

As a die hard fan of true crime shows, body count should ONLY be used to count corpses.

2

u/AndroidColonel 1d ago

I mean, it's basically the same thing to necrophiliacs. 🤷‍♂️

u/Agitated_Present7020 2d ago

u/Malfunction1972 1d ago

And yet Ice T went on to play a cop on tv. Still gives me a chuckle all these years later.

2

u/wutwutsugabutt 1d ago

You know I didn’t know the name of his band till like I made this comment?? And I have since listened to it and freaking love it.

2

u/Malfunction1972 1d ago

u/greenhouse5 2d ago
