Forbidden Words of 2004

[MechDeus]

"NUB" instead of noob.

Huh? I haven't done much online gaming lately so I guess that's all going right by me, but who started that idiocy?

I'm surprised no one has a problem with the acronym FPS yet...

Because this isn't a Metroid Prime thread. I personally have no problem with "shmups" and I use "Beat 'Em Ups." "All" at the end sounds retarded to me.

I'd have to add "doggy-style."

Any particular term you'd like to replace it? "Ass-up style?"

I also think Friendster sounds dumb as hell.

[burgundy]

If you have a problem with doggystyle, you're obviously not doing it enough.

Oh man, you really told my testicles who's boss! ""

I have no problem with the position, just the name. It's "from behind." When you piss on poles and eat cat shit together, then it's "doggy-style."

HOT

[Bacon McShig]

Above all else, "fullscreen" should be banished. Not just the word, the actual butchery it represents, as well. If it contunues, replace the term with "the version that doesn't have those black lines at the top or bottom, but forsakes all measure of cinematography. Not to mention that widescreen TVs are going to be the norm in a few years, then you'll be no doubt be bitching about the black bars on the sides and have to buy the widescreen version anyway. Fuckface."

Otherwise:
-"Mister Anderson"
-pwned
-visual merchandising
-survival horror
-"the next Halo"
-emblazoning of Special Edition, Platinum Edition, Ultimate Edition, etc. on DVDs that are the ONLY edition.
-References to monkeys and/or ninjas in webcomics and web animation
-misuse, abuse, or interchangability of the terms 'manga' and 'anime'
-the ever-present "metrosexual"
-"Does for _________ what Psycho did for taking showers!"

... and I think the letter X should take a hiatus from appearing unneccessarily at the beginning or end of words for at LEAST a year.

Agreed.

I also hate the word "society," since now it's really only used when some nerdy social failure is talking about how much of a loser he is and lashes out at the rest of the world for being cooler than him. "Well, I don't follow the rules of the rest of society" and "Society places emphasis on getting drunk and being a dipshit, but I'd rather be a lonely, bitter dipshit who's jealous of all of the people I'm always making fun of" are typical uses of the word.

I can admit to having that slip into my vocabulary every now and then, although I dont really take your description to heart. At times though, its difficult to think of anything else to use as a term other than "society" (it does feel like a cliche as you're saying it) because you're caught up in making your point and dont want to slow down or stop to think of alternate terminology.

Well its got nothing to do with words but I hate widescreen TVs. Most of the time they are used to watch 4:3 squashed down which is a fucking disaster.

Hip hip horray for 4:3 screens.

uber

I can't stand this word.

[mollipen]

"Gangsta Spelling." Where fun is "phun" or hot is "hawt" or any of that other dumb-f**k stuff like that. When did mis-spelling and looking like a tool become cool?

However, I can't rag on "-izzie" and the like, because I instantly think of MC Pee Pants from Aqua Teen, and his "I had a strizoke in my brizzain!" line. And thinking about that cracks me up.

The words "baka" or "kawaii" or "-chan" or anything else like that coming from the mouth of a white kid when the rest of the words around those aren't also in Japanese.

And I have to admit, "my bad" sounds idiotic. Stop being an ass and apologize properly.

The TV isn't the problem, the content is.

We should all have widescreen TVs. Bitch at the networks to start making all of their programming in widescreen.

Wow, you're annoyed about a lot of things... you need to chill. Take some Xanax or something.

Let's not for get that "AzN" style of typing. Like "HeLlo" or "Da GiRlz", where Z takes the place of S in as many places possible. Stupid.
