Modern adjectives you hate
 

Obviously there is always new lingo out there and new adjectives like "that's so chill." What is the one you hate the most?

Mine is legit.
"What'd you think of that party?"
"It was legit..." HATE IT.

Those aren't adjectives.

Sounds like you mean, phrases you don't like.

Anytime someone says "chillax" I get the urge to commit a felony.

I like when nouns are turned into verbs. I think it was in calvin and hobbes, calvin points out the "verbing" of nouns.

I like "friending", which is used by a lot of dumbasses on My Space and Friendset, "dude, I friended you on myspace"

Chill and legit are used as adjectives in the sentences he mentioned.

I had a girlfriend who used this one almost daily. She really felt like it justified every stupid [censored] thing that happened. Sweet girl, but not much of a thinker.

Re: Modern adjectives you hate
 

I can't stand this one too. It has an ugly and disrespectful way of trivializing bad things, sometimes right to the face of the person the bad things are happening to.

Re: Modern adjectives you hate
 

"Gold". It's beyond overused, and, given the intended meaning, it's virtually always incorrect in its application.

This answer is an extreme cop out that gives way to the sort of self-pitying "oh well" sort of thinking. We are all outraged at this.

Re: Modern adjectives you hate
 

adjective: "crunk", "tight"

adverb: "totally"

verb: "fail"

tone: ironic (usually puncutated with a lot of LOLs, OMGs, or totally awesomes, but it's supposed to be ok since they're used in an ironic fasion)

noun: "blogosphere", "donk"

phrase/sentiment: "You have too much time on your hands." um, whatever. go back to watching friends.

Re: Modern adjectives you hate
 

On a side note I think the adjectivial (is that even a word?) use of the word 'ninja' (EG That's a f4ckin ninja line) is quite 'legit'.

Re: Modern adjectives you hate
 

"chillax", "ginormous", "Chrismukkah", and any other goddamn phony compound word these assholes can come up with.

I agree, but I make an exception for "shenanery". It's a good one.

i get soooo tired of hearing,

"stop screwing the hooker. she's dead."

The use of 'literally' when they mean 'metaphorically', as a device to emphasise your statement. It pisses me off, and if used, you should have the thing in question done to you.

'He literally kills me...' - BLAM!

Agreed. I see this a lot. For some reason, newscasters seem addicted to it. "The crowd is so big, the stadium is literally exploding!" "That answer literally blew him away!"

WTF? They're just words; learn how to use them.

I really hate this too. Rarely heard, but always annoying is when scrapbook is used as a verb..."I've been scrapbooking" Uhhhh...

There's some college (I've never even heard of it) that puts together a list of banished words and phrases. Most of the stuff mentioned here ends up on there eventually. Here's the 2005 list: http://www.lssu.edu/banished/current.php
It's a little off topic, but funny and entertaining.

This is authentic vernacular? I assumed it was invented for that episode.

Re: Modern adjectives you hate
 

Yeah verbing bugs me too. It almost always seems cheesy or somehow grates on the ear.

I've heard the scrapbooking one before, and that one always struck me as stupid too.

Business in the 80's and 90's was coining cheesy new words at a really quick clip, and it became popular to apply them outside the business world. They did lots of grotesque verbing there.

literally ANY term that is widespread used, and slang. for example, cool, i always use it when i talk, if i can't think of a more imaginative synonym, but if im on messenger, i feel stupid typing it our explicitly. i usually say something like exellent, bodacious, or bangin' i.e, that party last night was bangin'!

Re: Modern adjectives you hate
 

stoked

Re: Modern adjectives you hate
 

I got a chuckle seeing you say that using and typing out bodacious and bangin' don't make you feel as stupid as doing the same with cool.
