I hate the headlines that work as baits, "She puts the cactus in the bag, what happens next will floor you!", or "This animal was thought to be dead, when they poked it you would never guess what took place!", "A man found a penny, then became rich, but how?!"
Or when people answer "Same" ... that's not a reply! :-O
"Same" is a perfectly acceptable offline response to mediocre questions, I wouldn't be offended by it online, unless somebody used it stupidly, which given half the cretins that lurk on "So-Me" is probably quite a common occurrence.
As Pluthar would say "People of Earth heed my warning! A terrible Oxidant has accord!"...

There's SO many things, about how young people use the language, that I hardly know know where to start. However, calling something "sick" because it's really good, is a good place to start. Saying that makes me want to punch those **** using it in in face.
Yes i feel the exact same way.
Another phrase that's come into use fairly recently is "on fleek" - heck i'm not even sure what it's supposed to mean, but it just sounds idiotic imo.

Clickbait ought to be punishable by being forced to listen to Justin Bieber :P
It's just a shortened word. I wouldn't complain too much as coleslaw is just short for cabbage salad...
well they do both share 5 letters
*groan*
come on, laugh, its a good time to be alive
Where's the ban hammer...
Oh man have you lost your hammer AGAIN??
Next time, tie it to your wrist for crying out loud :))
Not a bad idea, Lee keeps threatening to use it but I have to hide it to stop him banning half of WoS for complaining that the last 2% of the WoS site has not been completed, I do suggest to him the alternative is to actually finish the last 2%.
I think some people here are confused by the fact that the internet pop culture is the only exposure they have to people under the age of forty. :p
Just because modern communication largely happens on the internet doesn't mean that every word you don't understand is "internet slang" any more than all that stuff the young people say on the wireless is "radio slang". ;)

'So and so was a big star in the 90s. What she looks like now will astound you!'
Clickbait annoys me, i usually just tend to ignore it.
Another one if 'vaguebook posts'. One girl i knows posts things like'feeling annoyed' or 'Can't stop crying' but never says why until someone asks why and they say 'PM'd you'. I think she's just seeking attention.
zx1 has previous for making almost identical threads a couple of yrs apart, so probably lol
The Grussu-led 'Thread Police' seem to have relaxed their iron grip on the forum of late. Mind you, they tended to let things slide a little in the lawless streets of 'Chit Chat' anyway...

Hmmm i wonder if we willl be divided horizontally or vertically :-\"

Do you have a preference?
Ummm... well... :-/
If i HAD to make a choice, i think my legs would be easier to live without than my head/torso. (in other words, a horizontal division)
On the whole, though, i would prefer NOT to have to make this choice ;)
People who start every sentence with the word "So".
People who use the word "Literally" to describe something that isn't literal.
People saying "I thought I was gonna die!" because something trivial happened.
The way young folk have started talking in that daft pseudo-American style...("Doobius" instead of "Dubious", "Dee Emm Zee" instead of "Dee Emm Zed"...I could go on...)
And also another vote here against those bloody annoying clickbait headlines as per F_Clowder's post ("He took the same photo for 60 years, the result is astonishing..." - NO NO, it shows the SAME bloke getting progressively older...which is how life works you tarts!)
"what the ****", or its even worse sibling "what da ****". I know it's not technically internet slang and it has been in use for decades, but I find it annoying. I think somewhere around 2000 it became one of those words where its use was escalated by the internet and movies. I hate how annoying teens use it every 5 minutes to delude themselves that their lives are interesting. However, its use has not subsided unlike phrases like 'Oh that's so random', which I also find annoying.

I can't remember starting another thread like this. I'm glad the Italian Thread Police have missed this one! :))

"I'm dead!:-D:-D:-D"
"Killed it!"
And anything with the words "squad" or "goals".
