The struggle is real!
Reported for posting obscenities.
I’ve heard it was an acronym for “Before Anyone Else”.
I prefer to use “has a sad”. So I’d rewrite your sentence to: “This thread makes me has a sad.”
Adorkable!
I saw it defined somewhere as Before Anyone Else.
Oops. Beat to the punch.
The one that has begun to make me cringe and abandon whatever I was doing when I encountered it is “hack” in the sense of shortcut, minor improvement, new twist or the like. It sounds like somebody coughing up a huge ball of phlegm or tearing something up by beating on it with an axe.
I mean, how can you hack a sandwich, a salad, or a necktie?
How about “I know; right?” At least part of that non-sentence is unnecessary. Generally, all of it is.
How about “ratchet”
I like to tell mine to chillax and I suggest you do the same.
I also heard this. That said, I’ve ALSO also heard that it’s a backronym. This is supported (weakly) by the fact that YouTube personality Christine Ballinger, in her “Miranda Sings” persona, often speaks of her veritable stable of baes, comprising every hunk who has ever caught her fancy. They can’t ALL be “Before Anyone Else.”
The Miranda persona does not necessarily share the same rules of logic as normal people, of course, which is why I stress that her example is only weak support for that cavil.
I had to look up “jelly” (jealous) and “on fleek” (excellent).
“On fleek” is an alternative to “on point,” which has becone a common expression, it seems. (It makes me think of a ballerina on her tippy-toes).
Did you Googs it?
Colleen, not Christine.
How can nebulous concepts be “cool?” They don’t have temperatures. Why would I want to be like a cucumber, or the other side of the pillow? Stupid kids.
For real though I’m kinda curious how “salty” came around. It’s a great troll insult, but it doesn’t make a lot of sense. Too much salt is bitter, I guess, but it seems more appropriate to use it to make fun of sad people, in the “aw, is baby gonna cry?” sort of way. Because tears are salty, you know.
I heard it a number of years ago, but shortening the word “pizza” to just “za” makes me stabby.
I also hate the expression “makes me stabby.”
I still like “makes me stabby”. I’ve only ever heard it used here and in fact thought someone here came up with it. “Za” however is so stupid I cannot imagine anyone letting it escape from their mouth in anything but a mocking, ironical like way. I think super dork dad on Modern Family says “za” and he’s supposed to be a super doofus.
Salty as in the sense of irritated or annoyed? My understanding is that it came from sailors being described as “salty” meaning they were tough or aggressive.
“Makes me stabby” is from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I can’t recall is Mr. Pointy, her favorite stake, was involved.
My kids look at phrases like On Fleek and Totes…anything as ridiculous. They use :smack:
dubious::(:mad::rolleyes:
and other emoji’s, however, all the time.
And if I use any of the new terms or any emoji’s, I just get “Oh Dad.”
Another dreadful utterance that may have passed from the scene (except I saw it within the past month somewhere online) is “Da bomb.” Pathetic!
My fuzzy (thankfully) memory had some doofus parent referring to something his (or her) kid had done or had said or had found (whatever). It was almost worth investing in a new picture tube (after obliterating the current one with a shoe or bottle or cat).
“Boom”. This abomination is committed by a coworker about 15 times a day. That number may start to shrink, as he seems to be transitioning to “glorious” :smack:
What’s the matter bruh? Why don’t you like the za? Za is love, za is life.
