weyes Posted June 28 Report Share Posted June 28 maybe it's 'cause i'm in a bad humor today, sorry . maybe if the man with the ice cream sandwiches would come around, i'd feel better (bad joke ) . but my goddamn job makes me listen to so-called r&b (that new shit has no rhythm or blues) and bad hip-hop all day, and i've just gotta put it out there that some shit has got to go already.seriously . if i hear rock on and on, till the break of dawn orwave your hands in the air, wave 'em like you just don't careone more time, i will officially lose my shit. those phrases were cool and roof-raising ( and stop that shit, too) back in the day (as in early eighties), but it's long past time that they have a decent burial. please, for the children's sake.y'all feel me, yo? anybody got any slang gripes while the topic's up here?

joeygk Posted June 30 Report Share Posted June 30 Starting out any sentence w/ Dude should be banned from our country's vernacular. I can't believe people still use that term?!?! I will admit that from time to time it slips out of my mouth. However, I am making a conscious effort to completely eliminate it from my vocabulary.

I'm thinking a slapping her with a hostile work environment lawsuit. :laugh: i also think that as you grow older you need to refresh the slang you use unless if its for some particular reason that justifies you using it.a freind of a friend, the guy was almost 40, the guy used "cool" and "dude" way to often IMO for a guy approaching 40.

shadygroovedc Posted July 1 Report Share Posted July 1 Originally posted by vicman the guy used "cool" and "dude" way to often o <-- Yo, you dropped this. I personally love the over the hill hippies trying to hold on to their glory days. One of my VP's is 40, has a diamond stud in his ear, and says dude all the time. I think it's cool beans. He's a pretty rad dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicman Posted July 1 Report Share Posted July 1 well if he was a hippie i guess its ok, furthermore computer people are weird in their own right, you are a prime example and i know and had roomates who were computer people, and they were weird.but the guy i was talking about was as granola as you could get.
