Trash words

[El Guepardo]

Nope, not the likes of Danchev or Foy, but this is instead a thread listing words we can't stand and want removed from society.

I will commence proceedings with a few:

@ - ok, not admittedly a word but a reference to another user on a standard forum. Twitter users write the symbol to link to another user, to bring a post, which they might not otherwise have seen, to the user's attention. Clicking the other user's name and the @ then links another user straight to the other's account. On standard forums it offers up zero benefit. If addressing another user, either write their name only, or quote their post if linking to it.

Jel - not even a real word but a shortening of the word jealous. Lazy writing and lazy dialogue. But why are we so content in destroying language? Jel is just one example, there are many others.

I actually almost prefer elements of Shakesperian language as that posssses greater class; not the slack mouthed, reality star driven, poor language of today.

 

[ArcspacE]

'aks'- instead of ask. Fcuk right off

'digs' - i.e. 'I digs that tune'. What on earth does that even mean?

 

[Papercut]

Well not a word as such but the term "PC phalanx". Used very loosely when someone (usually a tabloid reader) doesn't want to discuss a matter...

 

[Rock Strongo]

Here, the lyrics to Frank Ocean's Novacaine. This should be banned, it's painfully stupid, yet when I googled it then link title was Frank Ocean / Rap genius.

[Verse 1]
I think I started somethin', I got what I wanted
Did, didn't I can't feel nothin', superhuman
Even when I'm fudgein' Viagra poppin', every single record autotunin'
Zero emotion, muted emotion, pitch corrected, computed emotion, uh-huh
I blame it on the model broad with the Hollywood smile, aww
Stripper booty and a rack like wow, Brain like Berkeley
Met her at Coachella, I went to see Jigga, she went to see Z Trip, perfect
I took a seat on the ice cold lawn, she handed me a ice blue bong, whatever
She said she wanna be a dentist really badly, she's in school payin'
For tuition doin' porn in the Valley, at least you workin'
But girl I can't feel my face, what are we smokin' anyway
She said don't let the high go to waste, but can you taste a little taste

[Hook]
Novacane, baby, baby, Novacane, baby, I want you
fudge me good, fudge me long, fudge me numb
Love me now, when I'm gone, love me none
Love me none, love me none, numb, numb, numb, numb

[Verse 2]
Sink full of dishes pacin' in the kitchen, cocaine for breakfast, yikes
Bed full of women, flip on a tripod, little red light on shootin'
I'm feelin' like Stanley Kubrick, this is some visionary brick
Been tryna film pleasure with my eyes wide shut but it keeps on movin'
I blame it on the model broad with the Hollywood smile
Stripper booty with the rack like wow, I'll never forget ya
You put me on a feelin' I never had, never had, never had
And ever since I've been tryna get it back, pick it up and put it back
Now I'm somethin' like the chemist on campus
But there's no drug around, quite like what I found in you
I still can't feel my face, what am I smokin' anyway
She said don't let the high go to waste but can you taste a little taste of

[Hook]

[Bridge]
Novacane for the pain

[Outro]
Pretty girls involved with me
Makin' pretty love to me pretty, pity pity
All the pretty girls involved with me
Makin' pretty love to me pretty, pity pity

I can't feel a thing
I can't feel her
Novacane for the pain

Anyone who writes would/could/should have instead of HAVE should receive a small electrical discharge to their scrotum. Every time.

[yiddo2786]

The misuse of the word 'literally'. It literally makes me want to set fire to an orphanage.

Thats my BIGGEST pet hate.

I review reports on a daily basis and how many of the team send in reports with should have should have would have is insane. i just send it back and tell them to spot the mistakes as i aint gonna bother reviewin it till they sort that clamin brick out.
