You guys know how this works. grinning smiley

Name your favorite expressions that "need to go away" ... updated, 2007 edition.

I'll start things off. I keep hearing this one:

"Baby daddy" -- what the heck is this ?!? Is there something wrong with the word "father" ???

(But seriously... this one isn't all that common. Probably more so in the UK than here in the States.)

My understanding is Baby Daddy denotes someone that was present at conception and either is never seen again, or impotently tries to disrupt, for all public appearances, what is a "stable" situation.

Yes, one of my students just said that not too long ago. I have to admit that I laughed my @ss off when he said it, though.

Have a good one.

No problem (for "You're welcome").

At the end of the day (cited above, but bears repeating).

Well, it wasn't as if I literally "LMAO" with the student... but never having heard that particular expression before, I couldn't help an inadvertent laugh.

And yes, LMAO should be on the list too...

Totally agree, "College Brat" is a better descriptor.

Anything that was not in the Oxford Unabridged Dictionary of the English Language in 1980.

But especially,

"Basically"
"At the end of the day"
"the bottom line is"
"What he/she said was"
"Troops" (As opposed to Soldiers- a good NPR broadcast on this earlier this week)
"Criticality"
"celebrity"
"star" (when NOT related to an astronomically large gaseous body in the throes of nuclear fusion)
"Staffer" (when used generically- I want to know what these people's titles are, really ! If the people knew that they were getting this critical data from the sub-assistant to the assistant advisor to the sub-secretary of the under-secretary of the department in charge of toilet paper measurements, they'd know it was BS)

ANY IM or Cellular telephone speak slang.
Any slang that involves obscentity and/or mumbling (Kids- I'm getting older, I can't hear so well !)

Jem, yes, I see that ALL the time with my students. The problem with cell phones, IMing, text messaging, etc. -- it all seems to have negatively impacted their learning the English language and how to write and speak properly.

Admittedly, language is a fluid, evolving thing-- but still, I cringe when I read some of what they've written.

Some of my friends and the guy I'm dating have started using this and I want to punch them in their faces over instant messenger.

How about LOL, especially:

2. When the situation isn't remotely smile or laugh inducing to begin with?
