In not sure how hip you are to this twerking thing, but it absolutely should not be retired.

 
Fitta.

If you're never heard this word consider yourself lucky. Used to replace 'going to' as in 'I'm fitta watch TV'.

It's kind of a spin off of "fixin". Like I'm fixin to watch TV.

Pretty sure its finna and it's used in place of fixing or fitting to. It's been all but retired except for its use within two select social classes: generally lower class urban blacks and Latinos and middle/upper class young whites and Americanized Asianed females

 
"Pet Parent."

All I can think of are the millions of low-middle class Americans who are barely paying their bills and putting food on their tables, cashing checks from Uncle Sam, who are spending hundreds/thousands every year on dogs, cats, et al. I'm a dog lover personally. The bigger, dumber, and more playful/loyal, the better! But even my wife and I know that our family of four cannot afford to care for animals and properly pay for all of our expenditures. And we're better off (financially) than probably 80% of the country and 97-98% of the planet. Living near several people who have been cashing SSA/disability checks and can barely make ends meet...yet they've got dogs, cats, and other pets running around.

It's like this:

I just wish more people acted like it.

 
Met a teenager this past weekend who kept using the word "Oaf!" to replace "Oh f***!" Similar to those who use the phrase "Shut the front door", which is another phrase that shouldn't ever be used again. For example, I was telling him something that he wasn't aware of and he got excited and would say "Oaf!" Happened several times during the conversation. I don't know if "Oaf!" is specific to this kid or something that's commonly heard, but it should be nipped before it gets out of control.

Using the word "kerfuffle" at any time, especially if you're a dude because it is easily the gayest sounding word in the dictionary. NTTAWTT
Click to expand...
I think the word in the post directly above yours might beat it out for that honor.
Click to expand...
But "kerfuffle" is a real dictionary word, not some, undoubtedly, tween invention, which is inherently gay. :)

Don't knock the tweens, man

I like how this one just went unnoticed. :homer:

Damn, you're right. Either way I never want to hear it again.

OK. So "selfie" is now an official dictionary word, so it wins.

That's a weird way to look at it. Unless your pet has medical issues, they aren't very expensive. Pets serve a valuable purpose for people who are down on their luck, poor, and/or lonely.

BTW which phrase don't you like?

You think you're better off than 80% of the country, but you don't think you can afford to take care of an animal? Running a trashy shelter with a dozen pets is one thing, but a dog and a cat? Come on.

HTH

you mean he coughed up the pill?

It's even more clever-er when they refer to the grass as carpet.

I noticed watching a couple of preseason games that the Arizona color commentator has a million really stupid phrases like these. Worst one I remember is calling the football the "pig". I thought Theismann was tough to listen to, this guy makes your ears bleed.

Some quick googling says that the top 20% means you make at least $100k. Shots + heartworm + Food should be 800-1200$ of your income. If you can't shift money or cut back on a small luxury to free up 1% of your income , you just don't want a dog. You can afford it.

 
"samesies" (ie: shortened version of "same here")

saw it for the first time on FB today. especially cringe-worthy since it was from a guy....

girl - Cant wait to see you next week!

guy - Samesies!
