Some of these are perfectly legitimate expressions and others are simply fun. Who are you to dictate what I do and do not say?
Methinks you should chillax and unknot your panties. If I do say so myself.
Laters!
Methinks you’re an arse. And if I do say so myself, it begs the question, why are yer panties in a bunch all of the sudden? I C Coolio would tell you to chillax and that this is an epic fail on your part. Laters arseface!
Wow creative comments guys, NOT.
the one that bugs me the most is “ax”, why kinda word is that.unless it it used for cutting down trees.
oh man you beat me to it nw…jeez louise don’t stand in the breeze but hey knickers sounds better than panties…so don’t cha get yer knickers in a twist
My peeve is the misuse of the word ‘like’, as in: ‘It was like, an apple’.
Was it really an apple? Or merely just appearing to be an apple?
I also hate hearing the word ‘your’ spelled ‘yer’. Yup, can’t stand to hear that.
did you purposely leave out Dis & Dat, dese & doe’s .
Wha’ about ‘hey by’ (aka- hey boy -Cape Breton slang).
How bout <==hey look another one) Says where's yer too's. An I'll comes wheres yer at ! Don’t axe me where I heared dem dare words an sayin’s , I’s trouble ‘memberen eh.
😉
Are you living in the 80’s? Where are you that you hear these?
And panties? Seriously?
Starting a thought with, Anyway…
and ending it with, Whatever.
bothers me.
But, I do it anyway = )
COME ALONG AND RIDE ON A FANTASTIC….
Having said that, yer weird.
Come along and ride…in my fantastic panties.
I’m not the word police either but for some reason “arse” really grates on my nerves. Also, when people say “I seen” I always cringe and tend to feel embarressed for them.
Should of and would of. Makes my skin crawl.
The only words that I’d rather folks not use in public are one’s referring to religious entities and racial overtures.
I find them offensive to me because I know how offensive they can be to others whom believe and other races of people.
I’d prefer you just shut the fuck up!
killed to death
FAG
“Thats gay” and “Ginormous”
When people say “ironically” when it’s not ironic in the least.
I hardly care what words or slang are used when people talk as long as what comes out of their mouth is truth
Kay who the fuck are you to talk about truth??? There is no greater hypocrite I have ever encountered than you… EVER
If you had ever “encountered” me Floyd you’d wonder, “WTF is up with all truth telling? Doesn’t that bitch know ALL Nova Scotians lie about everything and for no good reason?” As if there’s a good reason to lie… I really don’t give a flying fuck if you have coping skills for truth or not. I don’t lie and certainly don’t lie for you. Fuck off and have a shitty day, Floyd. Save it for your listeners, kay? Kay.
I like panties
Hey, lookee there! Kay’s avatar is a self portrait!!
What happened to the “K” you had, Kay?
Not ugly ’nuff for you or are you merely projecting your true self??
I’ll choose door #2, McNasty. That’s a troll. Yes it is.
and who doesn’t like panties? wow
MMmmm… panties… ohohohohohohoh…
“all of the sudden”…?
overheard…that hindsight she’s fifty fifty…nip it in the butt
