Keep hearing the word "Cool" and it certainly wasn't referring to the weather. Everything appears to be "Cool" these days. "Cool" this, "Cool" that, "Cool" the other ! Clearly a modern fad.

"Radical" as well. Not just in terms of Muslin clerics either. Sometimes people say the new skateboard they bought is "totally radical".

"Hangry" is a great word but, surely, "NBD" is an abbreviation, not a word.

 


We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football.

The OED jumped the shark when they redefined "literally" to mean "not literally".

As is "Stupid O'Clock" which I never heard in bygone days.Sure I heard some youngster says "Chillax" the other day, whatever it means.

Likewise, I overheard 'Don't be a square Daddy-O, be hip like the jazz cats you dig?' which left me equally baffled.

What gets on my goat are the names of TV programmes whicgh are truncated EG Coronation Street becomes "Corrie" and "Strictly Come Dancing" becomes "Strictly".And I understand "The only way is Essex" is now "T.O.W.I.E"

And YES my wife is guilty and I keep telling her off !

I don't blame you, I'd tell her off too if she watched any of those programmes!

Language progresses. It always has and always will. Why use 8 syllables when you can use three and still communicate?
That's the essence of language, communication.

 


Time to move forward together.
