Should people who say 'awesome', 'wow' & 'wicked' be allowed to leave North America?

**somtamslap** · 30-04-2009, 05:19 PM

I thought 'Wicked' was more of a Blighty based utterance, as in "yeh, it's wicked innit, geezer" But those people should get shot too.

That's been superceded by the word "raw", something like "that's fukkin' raw mate"

They need executing too!

So this dude, thinks he can tell people how to talk. The dude's English dontcha know? Wow! Although languages are evolving, them English Dudes; they keep holding on, awesome effort. Hate the french yet get prissy when some Dude from some other country doesn't spell like a Frenchie.

That word, dude. I learned to use that word hanging out with them wannabe gangsters at Archie's Pool Hall, around and between 1964-1969. Archies was just a latenight hangout, With hustlers, dope dealers and the occasional pimp sometimes a pro or two. The pool hall was siamesed with the Greyhound bus terminal. Lots of dudes comin through there.

"Dude" referred to men that weren't part of our thing; square johns, straight cats, citizens. It was a semi-derogatory third-person pronoun used instead of "he," "him" or even "guy," "man," "fellow." "Hey man, check that dude out! what the fuck he think he's doin'?" "Lookit the rags on that dude!"

Then one day, some surfer dude, he comes up outta the surf, tells his partner, "DUDE! This Shit is Awesome!" Now used as a second-person pronoun and the language evolved one step closer to gibberish. Not all evolution is good.

I have never used the term dude as a second-person pronoun. Sounds fuckin silly. "Dude! How you doin?" "You! how you doin'?" or even "Maaan! ...etc." you get the picture. But as I said language evolves, smart people drop that Frenchie lookin "u" from words where it doesn't make any sense, Dude becomes a third person pronoun for anyone, citizen or part of that "thing." Evolution; you live with it.

But to walk up to someone and say "Hey Dude!" if you ever hear me speak lke that, just fuckin shoot me.

I can sit in a room exposed to various people using words like "dude,"Wow! Awesome! For some it's an affectation sounds trite, contrived. Others seem to know when and where to use the terms, the conversation is enhanced by them.

These words have a place in an English speaker's vocabulary. They've been around for a while, before they became some sort of identifier of the less than literate, and I intend to use them where called for without regard to the stigma attached to them due to over use by those that think they are cool by using such "groovy" language. Evolution takes time. hopefully those that try to force 'cool' by using these terms repeatedly will find it diffcult to mate and the evolution of the English language can continue unhindered. Now if we can just get the Englishmen to drop their Frechie roots when spellng words like humor, color and the like, the evolution will keep improving the language.

**Attilla the Hen** · 30-04-2009, 09:57 PM

Used to work with a bloke that would say "you know what I mean"? after every sentence.
Soon broke him of the habit by either saying "yes" after each sentence, which broke his speech rhythm, or, "no" and ask him to say it again.
He had no idea he was doing it.

not around me they don't!

**Happyman** · 01-05-2009, 02:16 AM

Right !

Enough of this complaining about the weird expressions used to get a simple point across.

I propose a competition where the entrants have to write a short esssy ( max about 100 words ) and the subject is -

A conversation between an American politician, a member of the British aristocracy and a streetwise young person discussing the economic problems of the world today.

The winner will be the entrant who can include the most 'buzz' words and the essay makes sense!

Multiple greens for the winner !

**phuketbound** · 01-05-2009, 08:29 AM

^Not a bad idea.. I'll mull it over.

Ya well, at least I show some enthusiasm unlike the OP who groans and bitches at everything.

At least I'm not British, and say, 'Brilliant' and 'arse' all the time.
At least I'm not American where they say, 'huh' and 'fuck' all the time.

So, like, wow, that was fucking brilliant! Gag me with a spoon!
