I know this girl who uses all these stupid ass words in her daily speech. "That is so fail!" "Win. Made of win." "That is epic!" Tonight even I heard her say, are you ready for this? "I am disappoint." :frog:
Yeah, it gets pretty damned annoying.

It's her choice what words or statements she uses to describe things, and she decided she likes those. Deal with it.

[QUOTE=Nautsabes;27117848]It makes her sound like a fucking retard.[/QUOTE] That's incredibly judgemental. Not to mention that it's simply your opinion.

[QUOTE=Mr Dinosaur;27117955]Sorry, but my definition of "judgemental" is different than yours.

You want to nurse a personal hatred for people over something so stupid? Fine.

The same could be applied to "judgemental".

[QUOTE=1STrandomman;27118128]Only in as much as it can be for any other word, but I fail to see the relevance.[/QUOTE] Look at your previous post, you said she is free to use whatever she wishes to describe something. The problem with that should be pretty damn obvious. [editline]1st January 2011[/editline] To put it simply, the stupid will be stupid. They're free to use whatever they want to describe things, but that doesn't make it anywhere near intelligent.

I don't think anyone has any trouble understanding her when she says something is "fail" or "epic" so what's the problem?

[QUOTE=1STrandomman;27118357]So you don't understand her when she says those things?[/QUOTE] I do, but you said language doesn't need a group consensus. An agreement on the meaning of something is necessary for it to be understood.

[QUOTE=1STrandomman;27118408]I didn't say it didn't need it, I asked you not bring that up in argument, but since you have: if you understand her, that means you agree upon the definition?[/QUOTE] I understand what she means but I disagree upon the definition
[QUOTE=Mr Dinosaur;27118429]I understand what she means but I disagree upon the definition[/QUOTE] I rest my case.
[QUOTE=1STrandomman;27118448]I rest my case.[/QUOTE] I will rest mine as well. Due to it being late. :v:
