The Cringe/Hate Thread

[Which Tyler]

The fun train hurtles head long into the irony plane.

Whatever happened to the irony plain, not seen it in years....

[WaspInWales]

Those YouTube 'news' channels you find when you're looking for a recent video that has made the news. Only they're not proper news, just some automated voice describing what you want to see over still images.

Fooking arseholes.

I am currently in Rosyth doing some resettlement training. Half way through the week and the training deliverer has already given me every one of these:

OBVIOUSLY!!!! "Obviously" has become the new "Ummmm;" the word of choice for those whose mouths outrun their capacity to think.

Pacific instead of specific

most cringe-worthy accents:

Brum,

I'll see your "obviously" and raise you "again", as in starting sentences with "again" even when explaining something for the very first time.

Telling someone they've missed the point during a disagreement. Half the time this is entirely baseless, and the other half it owes primarily to a failure on the part of the speaker to explain themselves properly in the first place.

Pyjama wearing unshaven matted hair shoppers and their unkempt male partners .

American English is fine, of course, but some Americanisms are just completely inane. Top of the list - My bad

Since when was speaking like a two-year-old hip and cool?

Is this inspired by your posts .. ?

[rowan]

That reminds me - Mindless questions.

Also, the fact this forum doesn't have a thumb's down emoji so that I have to express my disapproval with an evil face all the time

[Discreet Hooker]

Know what I mean ? . . . Eh ? . . . know what I mean ? . . . yah no . . . like yo no bro . . . know what I mean ?



Thankyou Leeroy .

Quite a lot of your own spelling is Ameicanised. Is that from your time spent in tertiary education there?

That and an American Spell Check on my computer, yes.

But don't let that lead you to my bad

'aint no thang but a chicken wing baby.

Even worse than infanile Americanisms - British slang. Much of it sounds as though it was developed by heinous pimple-faced high school boys of scrawny stature and dubious sexuality while smoking fags and torturing small animals behind the bicycles sheds in the lunch breaks - and imagining themselves tremendously clever.

[Mikey Brown]

I hear you bro. Fags can definitely go in the hate thread.

[morepork]

Brown you slag. Innit.

Yup! She has peppered today with plenty of 'Agains', too.

And she looks like Riff-Raff:



... only with tats, obviously, and obviously, more hair on her chest and obviously pacific.

Balding guys with ponytails . . .

[SerjeantWildgoose]

Why only balding blokes? The ponytail on a man is right down there with button-down collars.

Not quite as tragic as manbuns, however

or blond guys with dreadlocks and zumba pants

[Discreet Hooker]

Was at a party once when a young white kid turned up with dreadlocks down to his shoulder blades . Later , a west indian rastafarian enters the room , complete with a full set of dreds with a hooped tea cosy placed on top . He sidled up to the white kid and said " Locks is fir me brodders . " Went a bit quiet , white kid leaves party , three weeks later I see him in town with No. 1 cut .

American English is NOT fine. It is a bastardised debasement of the finest language in the world created by
a group of people who decided they would show the world that they were no longer English by teaching children
to be illiterate & being unable to spell properly. It's use should be banned from any messageboard/forum etc whose
home site is based on UK servers.

Satire!

People who post repeating 2-second video clips on Facebook and chatboard forums in lieu of actual words.

Really, I saw a bunch of my North American friends having an entire conversation with these things last night. Not a written comment among them
