In my case, I don't like slang. I will call everything a show, whether it's on YouTube or whatever site. Nothing is more annoying than reading people argue what is or what isn't a podcast.
shareI avoid using "blessed".
shareI don't mind some slang but I have my limits, like when it's lazy and/or childish speech.
I've posted this in the past, about people taking the first syllable of a word or phrase and adding an -ie or -s suffix. I guess it now requires too much effort to pronounce words if they contain more than two syllables. And the suffixes make it sound like baby-talk.
Sounds more like Italian, lol.
In Australia, their slang didn't even shorten anything
Biker = Bikey
In some cases it makes words longer! Cobber = Friend.
A Canadian guy I know couldn't get his head around "Arvo" which for us means Afternoon, he kept saying that Afternoon doesn't have a V in it!
I like saying "yarp" when I burp.
shareUnless I get angry I avoid cusswords. Actually it's a pet peeve of mine when people use cusswords in casual conversation.
shareYeah. Fuck that!
shareI'm not surprised by your response. It's exactly the kind of response I got in highschool when telling someone they shouldn't cuss. I don't care if you find it unreasonable. I don't like it that much. I tolerate cussing in movies but in every day life I don't really care for it that much.
shareIt was a joke. Lighten up, Francis. 😜
shareI find vague buzzwords that suddenly sweep through the parlance of media talking heads as if a memo was handed out problematic, such as "problematic."
shareI've lost count of how many times I've heard the term "unprecedented" in news coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic. "Ooh, look! We learned a big word!" It's like a kid with a new toy.
