the phrase that is comming back with ten fold power amongst tweenies and young adults, "That's retarded" OOOh it gets my goat esp when they use it more then once in the same sentence!
whatever
take with or go with, ie
"Here Jenn I will give you a paper to take with." How about a complete sentence?
Just two more things I heard today in the metropolis of Swainsboro
I first heard that "with" thing from Minnesotans and lately from a friend from Maine (Maniacs?).
I always thought it was an endearing provinicial identifier, but will be irritating if it spreads to the culture at large. Think "True Dat" for example.
dale- yea down here in the cacoon of Swainsboro, we gota little bit of it all, like:
"How you are?" (I learned it is how are you)
"Aight" (all right?)
some wierd nasal thing that shounds like :here: but is really a disagreement or approval depending on the context and the person using the sound.
Everyone is always going to :Carry: someone or something :down yonder: (why not drive? as the act of 'to carry' someone might be a tad bit of a burdon and where the heck is YONDER?)
oh and their cars don't "Jerk" when they have a tranny problem they "Jake"
Eth?
Dave, sorry to run away with your one word post!
I can't stand it when people say "my bad".
Your bad what? your bad grammar?
Another that annoys me is "bootylicious".
And celeb couple names like Bennifer and Brangelina.
And those makeover shows such as How Do I Look which refer to body parts in the singular, as in "We are going to give you a smoky eye, a peach cheek and a coral lip"
RP, thanks for stopping by. I was in a meeting when I knew the phrase "my bad" was no longer trendy - a former state attorney general in his sixties used it.
