Not saying you're wrong, just saying that Facebook doesn't really qualify as something that just isn't going to catch on.FalloutJack said:
Oh, details, details... It's not the timing that's important, just the message.Queen Michael said:
You know, I never called french fries french fries. I just call them fries. It's my catch all for all such things. Waffle fries, curly fries, and french fries are all just fries to me. Most places only serve one of those, so just saying you want fries usually gets the desired item.
I'd actually kinda forgotten about freedom fries.

Girls who call themselves 'geek girls'. Why do you have to segregate yourself? Can't you just call yourself a geek and leave it at that? Why do you have to mention your gender when we can clearly see you're female?
On that vein, people who put 'geek' in the bio/profile. I see it with mainly women which I find a bit odd, considering geeky women aren't exactly a rarity any more.
I remember a while ago people were enraged about being labelled but now they're labelling themselves with "i'm such a geek hehe" all the time and I find it odd.
Fairy snuff if you believe you are but I've never seen the appeal of telling everyone you're a geek rather than letting them find out for themselves in time what you're really like.
It's hard labelling yourself as a geek/nerd whatever because some people will think you're up for scrutiny which is why I don't care for labelling myself despite having interests that are considered geeky.

I was browsing the UK retailer GAME's website this morning, and I noticed there was some promotion on for 'Black Friday'.
No, GAME, we can't have black friday. Do you know why? Because we don't have thanksgiving in the UK you thick cunts.

That's kind of how it's like with Halloween here in Sweden. You never know if you'll get any trick-or-treaters or not, nobody can get in into their heads that Halloween always falls on the 31st of October, and in short it never managed to fully catch on.Pink Gregory said:
But it is a rarity. Not the self-imposed label, but the reality of there being a large number of "geek" or "nerd" girls. The whole concept is bullshit. It's a simple farce - a desperate thrust for attention by trying to be counter to the mainstream perception of something.EeveeElectro said:
The trouble is, it's completely false. There's not even a sizable minority of "geeks" or "nerds" who are female. Sure, they exist, but the people trying to use a term usually considered a pejorative, or at the very least a neutral label, and spin it for their own personal gain are not 'geeks' or 'nerds' in any sense of the words. It's such a shallow, stupid and unimaginative grab for attention. With all the clamour for "individuality" these days, it's ironic that most people fall into the same obvious behavior collectively.
If the Hollywood capitalist industry teaches us anything, it's that what makes rich people lots of money replicates itself until it stops making rich people lots of money.Akytalusia said:
HA! It's too late now, it's all yours. I call no givesies-backsies!! People DIE during Black Friday, and other shoppers complain when stores shut down so the body can be removed. If you get pissed that you don't get 80% off the brand new hoop and stick, or missed the buy 1 rock get 3 free deal, just because someone had the nerve to go and die, then you need to get help.Pink Gregory said:
IN a reversal of the OP, I'm hoping the "Secretly We Are Gay" meaning behind swag takes off. I don't know what yolo could be, best right now is You Only Look Obedient.
What's wrong with saying you have style instead of swag and Carpe Diem in place of yolo?? They just convey more than some douchey kid acting crazy.
Thankfully, I never heard anyone using it. Also, I don't get how Master Yi and similar champions can be considered "marksmen". Next they'll say a melee AD Carry is a "swordsman", then Jax is gonna get dubbed lampman or something.The Wykydtron said:
To be fair, "Black Friday" no longer just refers to the Friday after Thanksgiving. Rather, it refers to "any time we wish to evoke the image of a huge shopping day or sale."Pink Gregory said:
I get a "Black Friday" ad in my email almost every week of the year.
"Black Friday for Halloween."
"Black Friday in spring!"
"Black Fourth of July!" You'd think this one was a terrorist attack, but no. Just capitalism.
Fun fact: when I worked at Wal-Mart, they'd dress us down for use of the term "black Friday." The term was "Gold Friday," because they were going to make us all curl up in little balls wetting ourselves in terror a lot of money on Christmas shopping!
No clue if this was Wal-Mart policy or if our store was just extra douchey.
Windows 8. 8.1 is better in the same way that Neighbours is better than Home And Away. Also Bing. And every other attempt by Microsoft to break into a market they haven't a hope in and blatantly don't understand (tablets, phones etc).
Google+. I can't remember the last time I commented on a YouTube video, and that actually depresses me sometimes.
The Wii U. Or maybe they should start trying with that one, I'm not sure which. Either way, what they're doing right now clearly isn't working.

That one is very easy to explain. Just press the quote button, then remove the text that the poster wrote and let the quote tags remain. Then, enter some new text where the original entry was until you removed it.Akytalusia said:
My biggest pet peeve as far as this sort of thing goes is using acronyms like LOL and ROFL in actual conversation. I'm not sure if it is a thing or not as I've heard it done but never to the point of it being everywhere but, if it is a thing, I wish it wasn't.
If there is a thing about Halloween here, it's about not making it a thing. There is always a lot of "Bwuuh, why we had to import this yankee custom, toooo..." in the air, which is a shame. Halloween is lovely, it really should be a keeper. That and a second Labour Day. One in May, one in September.Queen Michael said:
Of course, a few weeks later, the christmas machinery kicks in place and the nay-sayers forget their patriotic concern for native customs and unironically lay their sacrifices at the Altar of Santa Claus nonetheless.
I'd say that Google's attempts at making Google+ the New Facebook is getting rather pathetic. It's like they're all mishandling some sort of mid life crisis, going so far to force it on everyone wether they want the bloody thing or not. It's the most desperate attempt at "thing"-making I've seen, until perhaps Kim Jong Un makes a meme and force it on the country on baton point.
Legit is just shortening for Legitimate. People, like myself, say something like 'That news seems legit' or 'This game is totally legit' as another means of saying 'It's good' or 'It's credible'.Barbas said:
I use Legit to mix up my vocabulary every now and then and also... Because it's common slang for people in my age group of early to late twenties.
