First choice: Meh.
This was a very funny scene when it appeared (debuted?) on the Simpsons back when, and was an amusing word to use for a few years afterwards. But after seeing it used a good 14 million times since then, the charm has worn off a little. You don't have a strong opinion on something, or disagree with something someone else says? There's of dozens of words describing the same condition.

Second: Awesome.
Take this word out of the English language and I think about 1/4th of the population would have a difficult time describing anything they like. This has really come to the fore lately in reading user reviews and internet threads on the Avengers movie. The overwhelming opinion is it's awesome. It's rarely mentioned why specifically, or what it is besides awesome, but awesome seems to be the one characteristic everyone can agree upon.

sorry, blackace

It's reached the mainstream. It's dead. It's over. Let's all just move on. There's no sense in trying to reclaim it.

 

[Jagxyz]

"Casual"

So idiotic that it's used as an insult.

 

[FairyD]

"like"

CUNT.


lol very offensive

 

[Vinci]

'Epic' or 'casual.' Either's demise would be welcome.

 

[lordfroakie]

hyperbole

 

[Master Milk]

The.

It's way too overused for my taste.

Grakl knows the way.

 

[Lizard with a ladder]

Generic.

It gets used incorrectly all the damn time.

I'd go with "gurl"

 

[iamcenok]

Not really a word but id love for YOLO to go the fuck away.
Second is swag.

 

[Head of Vengarl]

Hella.

 

[balddemon]

[Holden]

"salty", because of hongaf // dota2gaf

[Yagharek]

"like"

YES

I change my answer to this. Hella and Hellz. I hate my San Fransisco cousins. They sound like dumbasses.

 

[LaserBuddha]

It get's used incorrectly all the damn time.

 

[Al-ibn Kermit]

"sex"

"feet"

"rock"

I want to see what else people think of to substitute for any of those.

 

[GurgleBot20]

"Pretentious"

 

[thekonamicode]

"epic"

That is all.

 

[Socreges]

How is "casual" used as slang? Dunno that one apparently.

I'd take out "pseudo".

"like"

Yes please. Really irritating how some people use it as every other word. Even worse that it's infectious.

 

[LaserBuddha]

Disrespect.

It shouldn't be a verb.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

"Fail"

So annoying.

 

[Jarmel]

the

 

[nyong]

"Empowered"

 

[Xeke]

Ironic.

 

[J-Roderton]

"Fail"

So annoying.

Agreed. Swag sucks so bad, too.

 

[Broder Salsa]

"Fail"

So annoying.

It would be between that and "epic" or "trolled". But at least fail and epic seems to be a little less used the last years time, calling everything being trolled is however still everywhere.

THIS. SO MUCH THIS.

Swag this, swag that. It's even worse hearing it from professionals and TV personalities. I hear it in sports as a legitimate asset an athlete has, and I just want to punch them in the face. NO, SWAGGER IS NOT A DEFINING FEATURE OF A PLAYER. SHUT UP.

Here:

Do you want me? Please check one.

[ ] Yes

You guys spelled le wrong.

No, I didn't.

 

[Redux]

“I” is capitalized in the English language, but not “you.”

 

[Grakl]

“I” is capitalized in the English language, but not “you.”

Alright, and so what?

 

[TheHakku]

"epic"

That is all.

This one. It should no longer be an adjective. It has run its course.

 

[Kusagari]

Pretentious.

Used way too much to describe pretty much anything the describer doesn't like.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Alright, and so what?

Emphasis on self and not others.

 

[LaserBuddha]

You guys spelled le wrong.

You don't have to ban "le", you just have to have the wit to stay away from the beehive of "please accept me!" b-grade meme circle-jerking that is reddit.

 

[Byronic Hero]

Fanboy/girl

 

[grap3fruitman]

"ban"

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

"America"
as in the country

 

[trinest]

"sex"

I want to see what else people think of to substitute for any of those.

So we will go back to using Fuck like we should be?

 

[Grakl]

Emphasis on self and not others.

Okay?

 

[Ezalc]

Fuck.


Just to see what would happen.
