Posted by tizianiMe last night while watching Gotham: "The ladies' earrings are ON FLEEK this episode." *cue accompanying troll face* 😄Posted by starwarsYeah i need to find more contexts in which to use "on fleek" asap.
I just hope no one mention the word dope, because that would make me use it more often.click to expand
Posted by exxtasyxPeople still say that? Man that shi's cooorny.
"YOLO"
Whoever says that needs to be shot in the face and then pissed on
Posted by tizianiLol, yeah, I don't get it either. I just say it when I feel like "being down" but have no idea how to get there gracefully. 😆 I can never say things like that and be taken seriously, which is part of the fun for me. Hint: really get into the "ee" part of "fleek" and do a gesture to emphasize further. A lateral head shake, a shoulder shrug down, the raise of a hand with your thumb and index finger touching, the brief closing of your eyes...or all of them if you're feeling especially dangerous. *nods knowingly*Posted by LillyPetalLol I seriously don't understand what it means but I heard Future use it a couple of times now and it just sounds like something I want to be sayingPosted by tizianiMe last night while watching Gotham: "The ladies' earrings are ON FLEEK this episode." *cue accompanying troll face* 😄Posted by starwarsYeah i need to find more contexts in which to use "on fleek" asap.

Beast
As I left dance class, a guy came up to me and said, "I saw you in there dancing. You're a beast!"
I actually loved it. It's overused, but I like it. I try to slay when I can. *brushes shoulder off*

"Damn, Daniel!"
"Back at it again with the white Vans!"

Posted by tizianiApple compatible? I, uh, am asking for a friend.
also there's something called the "On Fleek" app on Android?
Posted by Prince_PiscesYour hair is always on fleek, Booboo.
I don't think I know anyone who actually says 'on fleek'. I think if I did, I would probably terminate our friendship immediately LOL!
My boyfriend says I use "traumatizing" a lot.
Me at Red Lobster: "Being in a tank with people crowding around them must be traumatizing to the lobsters."
Me at the library: "I almost misshelved those DVDs and it was traumatizing."
Me at the pizza parlor: "Are there mushrooms on that pizza? Because that would be traumatizing!"
Me at the student lounge: "I thought she was someone else and when I saw her face and realized my mix-up, it was traumatizing."
Me on the stairwell: "I missed a step and it was traumatizing!"
Honestly, I don't see any of those scenarios as example of me misusing the word.

I hate it when people use "AF" or "as fuck". I just don't associate with people destroying the language with stupid sayings.

Posted by aquarius09You mean instead of judging saying the curse word?
I hate it when people use "AF" or "as fuck". I just don't associate with people destroying the language with stupid sayings.
Personally, when in an Academic setting, I resent it when students say "N-word" instead of just saying it when explaining a point. You've mentioned it, we're all now thinking it, it's part of history, we are in a college setting in the classroom, so just say it.
Admittedly, I've been known to say "cuss," instead of actually cursing. For example, "Cuss it! I'll take are of that later."
"You know? ... I don't know "
Posted by tizianiI agree. An acronym of a slang word doesn't really matter.
It's like if "on fleek" survives ten years into the future, there's going to be someone down the line arguing that people should write "on fleek" correctly and act like it's life or death if its written as "OF"
I don't see the point in getting worked up.
"I know, right!" I am so guilty of that one sometimes.
"Long story short" then KEEPS RAMBLING

Posted by LillyPetalThat's strange. If I'm in a history class and I'm talking about how black people were referred to in the past, I'd directly say "nigger". People need to be objective, but the discussion is about slangs and incorporating made up words in everyday vocabulary.Posted by aquarius09You mean instead of judging saying the curse word?

Posted by laFilleThat's a way to avoid lash back for stating your opinion and you know there will be fragile flowers who will be coming at you for your opinion.

Posted by aquarius09Yeah, but usually people say this after saying something mean or giving some "advice" and still want to stay appear being likeable and nice. Not always but many times it is used insincerely, so it's annoying to me. And yes, overused.Posted by laFilleThat's a way to avoid lash back for stating your opinion and you know there will be fragile flowers who will be coming at you for your opinion.

"Whatever"
But, when timed right, it is SO VERY gratifying to say.
I'm also guilty of "with all due respect" before I say something that is anything but respectful.

Man, one of my coworkers mentioned one last night and I cannot remember it for the life of me, haha. They said it in some mocking way and I told myself to remember it to share in this thread because it's freaking annoying.
...grief fucks with your memory like whoa. :/ It's annoying.

"CONVERSATE" *finally remembered*
Omg, people say this so they sound intellectual or smart, but sound like small children trying to use big words haha.
Another that makes my skin crawl because it's usually tied with someone who's full of shit or in the wrong-
"Well, you see what happened was..."
I DO NOT CARE. YOU'RE BEING A DICK/ARE STILL WRONG. YOUR STORY DOESN'T MATTER. STFU.

While on my trip to Dubai, met a lady who said this to me and it stuck. It took me a while to grasp what she meant. How would you feel if what you did in the dark came to light?

I'm seriously tired of Damnata. I just want her to stop. If that's the case, then I'll have to block her.
First and foremost, no white-knighting. I'll repost this from my other thread to make it clear that I denounce Damnata's hatred over me: Bytch, why are you still posting on my threads? I told you not to post anything on my threads but you still do

Used by the obnoxious "health" crowd who have no idea what they're talking about
Omg, I want to smack people who use this word. It is so overused and beaten to death as a way to describe anything "bad" that they cannot explain, nor understand.
"Drink this magical juice!! It'll cleanse your body of toxins."
..no. Just no.
"Literally
Used by too many
I do not think it means what you think it means.
"Amazing"
Used by anyone who's easily impressed or drama queens.
Most of the time, no, it isn't "amaaaaazing" like one says. You're just so simple that anything impresses you.
Any combination of a celebrity couple name
Used by celeb heads/illiterate media types
We seriously are dumbing down our language with this garbage...
"I feel like..."
Used by those who fear backlash for their opinion and passive aggressive types.
This seems to have replaced "I think" in many instances. There are situations where "I feel" is appropriate, but now it's just replaced any precursor to one's opinion or statement toward a matter. It's a defensive tactic for some. "I want to voice my opinion, but I don't want to offend someone/get attacked for having such views. If I replace it with 'I feel' it softens it a bit."
Women mostly do it and it's another good example of social conditioning. Do not fear stating opinions or, God forbid," THINKING for yourself.
"On fleek"
Used by more illiterates who are just making up babble speak to describe things
This one could date me, but I don't care. SO fucking stupid. How about we make people put down their phones and pick up a fucking book. Sure, they can read shit on their phones/tablets, but you know they won't. Social media and porn would be too distracting.
