Just got a *** "LOL" at the end of a work email someone has written to me. If it was in my gift, I'd have the woman's IT access withdrawn as a lesson. Might as well have gone the whole hog and pissed me off with a "whoop whoop".
I noticed that a couple of folk on facebook joined a group recently called "I LOLed at this picture...". Now it's a verb.
This, my friends, truly is the mark of civilization on its way to oblivion.
Don't even get me started on "fails" or "major fail".
Anyone else get pissed off at phrases like these?

ROFL
FWIW
etc etc etc
Grim grim grim.
I've got a mate who had a girlfriend (now ex - obviously ) who would send him texts that we would sit round for hours trying to decipher.
It seemed she was wantonly missing out nouns just for ****s and giggles.
As you say, the beginning of the end linguistically.

'lol' doesnt bother me too much, its just an easy way to putting some sort of emotion into text, and makes sure poeple don't take what you're saying in the wrong way, as tone in text can be very hard to understand.
However I completly agree with fail, epic and ftw! does my nut it! another is the over use of awesome! I swear my little brother is from the states, him and his friends accents and word use is unbelievably american.

Saying 'My bad' is equally as bad as all those other mentioned.
I once wrote it on here and immediately thought WTF am I doing!

"Hey, we're going to (insert name) for pre-drinks"
Pre-drinks? Is it possible to come up with anymore of a twatty phrase?
Also on my current list of annoyances is the way people now put "much" at the end of a statement.
Example : I was quite late for class and someone had the audacity to say "late much?" .
Argh

LOLocaust.
The one that really gets on my chebs is for the banter, "hey do you wanna go to the cinema for the banter". Just die, die right now. This has even been shortened down to "for the bants", lord christ up in heaven.
The word "owned" is getting used too much now, ie "yas I just owned you on PES". If I had it my way anyone who says this would have their arse owned by satan for an eternity after they pass away.
P.S I too hate it when people reply to a post with just "this". What a pish contribution.

It irritates me when folk say "so" in what seems to be the wrong part of a sentence, e.g. "Thats so not right", "That's so what I would have done"
In fact, my bad, it's not in the wrong part of the sentence, it's just not needed at all.

The word 'like' being used excessively when describing what was said in a conversation.
Person A- So what happened?
Person B- Well he was like shut up so i was like who are you telling to shut up and he was like you and i was like no one talks to me like that.

Also when girls feel the need to add "ies" to words that don't need them.
"Going out with the girlies for drinkies tonight"
Just **** off. Please.

All of the above pales into insignificance compared to the use/overuse of smilies on all internet forums. If you need to use a smilie to get your point across, you haven't made your point well enough.

Then there's the deeply patronising use of (), as if the observation just made is so patently obvious that you'd have to be deranged not to have already thought of it.
