I know, right?! I really hate that one.
Right up there with John Boehner’s ‘uh’ pauses.

As an Austinite, enjoy saying, “…and Bob’s your uncle!” Confuses the hell out of people around here for the most part.

“Totes adorbs” is the adjectival phrase there, so your correction would imply I am using “totes” to criticise the use of criticism-deflecting teen-speak.

I can’t stand it when people put periods after every word in a sentence, which seems to becoming a trend.
‘Hey I put periods everywhere so you can’t argue with my statement.’

They’re right god dammit!

Shouldn’t that be “totes less adorbs”?

There’s a belief amongst certain types of blog writers that presenting anything controversial in feigned teen-speak makes them both both innocent if it turns out to be wrong, and somehow belittles any imagined stereotype that might disagree with them.

Which is less totes adorbs than they think.

I think the main thing we can deduce from this list is that it’s better for Americans not to use any slang.

Incidentally, writers on the Gawker network seem to think it’s, like, super adorbs to totes be ironic with the langizzle to wash their hands of the paucity of diligence when presenting click-bait. Don’t think you’re funny when you do this, internet writers.

Also, stop saying “I know, right?”

I absolutely loathe the word “webinar”. It’s an ugly word, it conjures a soul-sucking waste of time, and captures pretty much everything that’s gone wrong with the internet.

I find the use of ‘since’ in a non-temporal context somewhat distasteful. ‘Whereas’ is an appropriate choice.

Every time someone uses the word “epic” to describe anything, they should be immediately bitch-slapped hard enough to bloody their nose.

I feel that way when someone refers to LOTR as a trilogy.

Swag. LOL. ZOMG. Gay, not in reference to homosexuality. Lady parts. Totes. Hella. Man up. Social, as in social marketing. Zombie. Pirate. Junk, as a synonym for genitals. Douche. Mansplaining. Hater. Hack(ing). Old school. Know what I’m sayin’?

I refudiate that.
