"Whazzup, home slice? You betta checkity-check yo-self--my rhymes are off the heezy! Holla!"I am in no way ahead of the curve on slang nor do I profess to be. And everyone has his or her idiosyncratic little bits of speech. But honestly, if you're using one of the following phrases at home or at work, you are a MORON!!
- out-of-the-box
- touch base
- girlfriend (or the more racially-charged sisterfriend)
- sweet
- what happens in ___, stays in ____
- thinking cap
- what's up (said in Budweiser commercial voice)
- brainstorming
- don't go there
- talk to the hand
- so five minutes ago
- groovy
- replacing vowels with "izzy" or "izzle" etc.
Terrible! I know it's been beaten to death, but there are still MANY people using these words (and with a DECREASING sense of irony). So tell mom-ish Mary it is NOT ok to say "Did you have a groovy weekend" by the watercooler or dumdum Tom in accounting not to refer to his spreadsheet as "sweet"--otherwise these odious words are never going to die. Let your friends know that you will go there--and whenever you want to, wherever the fuck "there" is.
