Lol...

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 If it was in my gift, I'd have the woman's IT access withdrawn as a lesson.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?

No.. I'm 18.

Get over it, lol.

To be fair, it took me a wee while to figure out how to delete this "signature" from my iPhone.

On the subject, what are AFAIK, fail and epic fail?

Thanks in advance.

AKAIK - As far as I know.

A fail is self explanatory. An epic fail is a fail so truly bad that it becomes awesome. Think "so bad it's good."

Hope that clears things up for you.

So the guy I saw last weekend smashed out his skull, covered in puke, and pissing on the back bumper of a Jeep Cherokee (probably his own) was enjoying a wee session of "post-drinkies"? LOL.

Sorted that for you?

Aye, yer a funny man Doddie

[Caversham Green]

I have to say "verbing" still gets to me - e.g. "and how will that impact on profit?"

Likewise, the use "yourself" or "myself" when "you" or "me" would do.

And the new trend amongst football pundits to use the present tense when commenting on an incident - "If he connects with that it goes in"

Makes myself want to impact theirselves' teeth with my boot (if I do that it hurts).

At the last summer Olympics the constant debate over which of our athletes would "medal" at the games did my head in.

Also the inclusion of "AGE" at the end of a word to emphasise how good something is makes me weep. If someone hears a good song it is met with "TUNEAAAGGGEE"

**** off

Australian Question Intonation is the term I believe.

I heard Stephen Fry use the expression Australian Questioning Intonation on the tellybox, but I didn't know it was a universally accepted term?

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.

Fannies!

Is it truly just an Aussie thing? Don't Americans do this too?

I like it when old ladies say buckin...

I was discussing my tattoos with a couple of younger guys a while back and one of them said about mine 'Wow, they are sick dude'... I didn't know whether to punch him or thank him...

You are correct. As Lapsed Hibee said above its not really an official term, perhaps something that Stephen Fry came up with but seems ingrained in both American and Australian speak. The thing is, when in company of Aussies, I sometime find myself talking like that too?

I've always noticed it more with Aussies (Are you allowed to say Aussie on here? Is it racist?).

Thought it was called an inflection.

I work in sales in Australia and caught myself doing it one day. I put a stop to that right away!

I could be here all day talking about Aussies.

A couple of favourites:

They stick an O at the end of everything. A smoke break is a smoko. An ambulance is an ambo. If your a bit of a scaff your derro. Every suburb is shortened with an O added. Bunno, Busso. Gets. On. My. Tits.

When they show movie trailers for adverts and they tell you when it's out, they don't say April the first, or The first of April. It's April One. What the f*** is that?

Really? I heard they had dropped that in favour of a new show based on folk described in this thread, to be titled "Irritating Young ****s"
