what words dyou think should be off limits to people older than yourself, and only makes them sound ridiculous

Question

not only words but phrases as well.

what words that old people use to try to sound "with-it", should they be banned, on pain of death, from using!!

Answer 1

I think some of you people should just CHILL.
Nobody's hurting you.
Stop all the cringing and show a little tolerance already.
Dude!
I mean, you know, get real.
You're freakin' me out here.

Answer 2

I agree that certain words/phrases do not sit right on people of certain age groups - I'm not sure what constitutes being older than you in this case - but condescending could be one word that may apply to yourself! The old saying of age only being a number is quite true, I've met some very boring and nerdish "youngsters" and yet some really entertaining, interesting and lively people "older" than myself. I suppose using the wrong words though would only be embarrassing to close relatives - other people might not think them ridiculous.

Answer 3

well where im from 8-) phrases and words come and go into fashion, then are re-used about twenty years later :|
and when i said one of these words "winch" at school in another county i was ridiculed, and told that their gran's say that. was mortified.

winch= snog, which is another word i deteste :|
also the word sh*g is degrading i think.nobody should use that

Answer 4

I think it should be the other way around. Younger people should not be allowed to say words and phrases that make no sense to people older than them.

Answer 5

Your parents brought you into this world they can take you out!!! Wait until your older to make such a comment you'll find yourself saying things that the younger kids think are stupid!! What comes around goes around!! If I have to come over there!! Don't make me get up!! Your toast !! Chill says it all!! Get off my case toilet face!! What did I say!!WHAT DID I SAY!! You better do it or else! Just wait until your father gets home!! You can't touch me I'm the rapper Mommy!! Man it's what we do!!

Answer 6

well i cant stand this phrase from anyone but especially older people 'chill', as in chill out, or im going home to chill.

I also cringe when I hear people speaking with that australian or american intonation of making a statement with the same intonation as if they are asking a question. When older people do it, because they've picked it up from their teenagers I really cringe.

Answer 7

I think the word 'panties' should be off limits to anyone older than about 3, who on earth came up with that one?

Answer 8

Here is something that SHOULD be said by the little snits parents.

"I brought you into this world, I can take you out just as easily."

Answer 9

Groovy baby

Answer 10

Innit!
