What's your take on this? Any pet peeves with specific/certain words or you just care?

Usually i'm pretty tolerant towards this, it's not like everyone has to talk like a boring english novel and become amazing linguists.

What about people who use words incorrectly? First thing that comes to my mind is the word "Literally" :)

What about people who use ghetto talk way to much? e.g. "EH YO BLESSED STYLLZ WHAT U SAYIN YA FEEL ME YO I GOT BARE PATIENCE FOR Y"ALL WHO BEEN TALKIN LIKE DIS ALL DA TIME YA FEEL ME"

Or phrases people usually would use in video games, but apply them in non-gaming situations in real life?

e.g. "Man dat math test doe" "Dat math test was OP" "I got shrekt" "gg" "REKT"

Or people who say "NOPE.JPG" irl. Or any other sort of inside joke thing from a meme or a reddit post or something from the internet. Or something referencing pop culture.

e.g. person 1: Is that a Trick? person 2:"TRIX R FOR KIDS"


I've noticed a lot of my friends do this. It's kind of contagious.

Do you think people who use these words and phrases in their conversations often just lack originality?

Share stories.

"THE CRINGE IS REAL"

what about people using unoriginal stock phrases as a reaction to something such as:


"Well that escalated pretty quickly"

or

"Would not ___________ out of 10" (a reference to saying would not ________/10)

Unoriginal or no?

Or I could say " Unoriginal or nah?"

"Gee gee, well played" comes out of my mouth occasionally as well whenever someone does something really dumb.

My ghetto speak often comes out when I'm really aggrovated, which is basically thanks to my friends back in high school. Fortunately for me (or you, depends on how you look at it), my ghetto speak in German is a lot more frequent than my ghetto speak in English.

So, all in all: I'm pretty tolerant as I'm an offender myself. Can't stand people saying "lol" or "rofl" in real life though.

I hate it when guys say "eat my ass." That shit is nasty asf. Keep that shit in your COD games. If a girl said that.....then it would be a different story. But girls never say that, so I am alone.

Never heard anyone say that except something similar on simpsons/futurama.

"IMMA GO HAM ON UR ASS IF U SAY THAT AGAIN"

Talking with broken slang like that is retarded.
Using some slang from games is ok here and there but most of it is pointless since you just cant express it in everyday life outside of net.

I use Noob, OP (but this is not only game releated) and Roger Dat sometimes.

I still dont replace regular terms with this, my vocabulary is larger then that.

Thumbs up Tsuyuu you made good thread this time.

I don't see how they are any different than the regular "lingo" people use. What? Just because something didn't come out of a movie it's beneath using in real life? I think not.

I've never done that.
Internet talk is for the internet.
I find people who use LOL or WTF or OMG when actually speaking to people infront of them a bit weird, and probably spend alot of time on their phones.

If you really use them in real life conversations, then man oh man are you lazy. I mean, I suppose I get it if you use things like "brb" but saying something like that in person to someone would feel pretty rude and lame. Please let it stay on the Internet.

I use "lol" or "gg" sometimes. Now I see that it is indeed cringe-worthy. I should stop. No, I will stop. I have no problem with my friends using "gg" though.

Well, I would say I kinda change and share both slangs in internet and real life I guess, especially from internet to real life.

[ˈdʒiː ˈdʒiː ˈdʌbəlˈjuː ˈpiː] sounds kind of weird :/
I used to say "grin(s) grin(s), well played" until I learned that "gg" actually stands for "good game".
Generally spoken, I don't pronounce the Letters from any Abbreviation except "lol", but only for myself.

I don't like using internet talk on the internet or IRL.
I use or naww with some of my friends as a joke sometimes. Making fun of people that talk like that. Vines are kind of killing grammar with kids I think.

I mean people are wearing Tumblr t-shirts so we are wearing the internet, speaking the internet and even playing with toys from the internet.

I mean Nyan cat is on the app store. Internet language and culture has invaded.

I mean now people are going to start trolling me IRL.
