Dan_Dare Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Personally, the actual sound of my laugh starts on the exhale- so starting 'high' on the a makes phonetic sense for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce_LiNk Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 What is detestable is the 'ahahahaaahahahaaaahahahaha' thing people do. When did it start with an 'a' anyway? In real life, I think I laugh something like "aaaaaaahahahahahahahahha." Or at least, when I'm mocking somebody, or something. That makes more sense to me than "haha." I'm with Dan on this one.

dwarf Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 As I wrote that I was thinking that it might make more sense, but I checked my own laughter and it doesn't really start with any combination of letters. The 'ahahahahaha' thing is annoying because it is always dragged on for half an aeon, when the traditional 'haha' or 'lol' would suffice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'ahahahahaha' thing is annoying because it is always dragged on for half an aeon, when the traditional 'haha' or 'lol' would suffice. I'm probably guilty of that, so I apologise to you now. I think by saying it and dragging it, you are showing the appreciation for something that is funny. "Haha" would be the one that gets mostly used, as I save the "aaaaahahahahaha" one for something that tickles me. I mean, it would have to be something very amusing to get that one. It depends how easily amused that person is, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nolan Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 I'll use to be fair to state a fact after usually suing hyperbole to take the piss out off something. Band 'X' is overrated trash, although to be fair their songs are catchy. I thought of something else though, people who use air quotes while talking.

martinist Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 "It's not you, it's me" that just sounds so stupid to me. Like they got it off the back of some crappy romance novel.

Daft Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 One that's recently driven me postal is, "Am I the only one that thinks...[bLAH BLAH!!]?" The answer is always an emphatic NO!.

Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 I'm guilty of using many of the mentioned phrases. I absorb pop culture way too much. THIS, however ... That reminds me when people write likeeeee thisssssss. "Yeaaaaaaahhhhhh gonna get trashedddd toniteeeeeeee :)" "miss you babyyyyyyyyyyy" "facebook is boringggggg...someone chatttt!" ... REALLY gets on my nerves! If you absolutely HAVE to express the dragging out of words in your text, at LEAST drag out the proper part of the word! When you drag out the word "boring", it is not the 'ng' part you drag out, it's the VOWELS! Also, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DRAG OUT A 'T' SOUND!

Kirkatronics Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 One thing which really grinds my gears is when you hear people talking to their other halfs in baby voices and calling each other things like baby girl, and one which my friend says "My panda bear". It doesn't bother me that they can actually do that to each other, but that they do it in public.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lillster Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Every saying from the Blackcountry dialect. Stuff like, "How am ya!", Aright shag!" and when they acknowledge you with "Oh R!". Also "Fink", instead of "Think" and "Feo", instead of "Theo", etc... Disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightwolf Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 To be fair is ok, if it's used about once a month or something. But, when it's used every ten minutes, then the stabbing is justified. OH! I've got another one, but it's different. When people give kisses in text messages or facebook messages by the hundreds. "I LUV U BABY! xxxx xxx xx x x x x xxx xxx xxx xx x x x x x x x xxxxxxxxxx x x xx xxxxx" Stick to the fucking code The Code: One Kiss for a male friend or a female who you are not entirely friends with. Somebody you walk past and say hi, for example, but never properly speak to them or know much about them. Two Kisses for good friends. People you trust, are close to, etc. Two kisses can only be used with a guy friend if there is a man crush involved. Three Kisses for the person that you love. At a push, this can be used for your best friend. Use sparingly if that is the case. NO MORE. There is none of this 4 or 5 or five hundred kisses bullshit. Do you know what is easier? Not using fucking x at all, leave it alone, its not a kiss its a freaking x! Sorry. *cough* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry. *cough* I always finish a text with an 'x'... Special people get 2, or even 3! Everyone knows that if text kisses were real kisses the whole world would be a giant orgy.

Daft Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 (edited) Do you know what is easier? Not using fucking x at all, leave it alone, its not a kiss its a freaking x! Sorry. *cough* FUCK YES!! I understand it being used every now and again, like in birthday cards and such, but it's just been completely devalued as a gesture by a whole plethora of morons who use it all the time whether it's one, two or a millions "x"s.

Eenuh Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 I am guilty of typing words like thisssssss (so is Jim). But that's 'cause we often talk like that in real life I think. >.>; Also the kisses, I never use kisses, except for Jim. And that's only because he expects them to be there. If I don't put kisses he immediately thinks I'm upset or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
