Words I Have Never Used

[bainbrig]

Just pondering what ‘modern’ words I never use, and never would.

1) Hi.
Hello, I’ll say, or good morning, good day, pleased to meet you, etc, but never “Hi”.

2) Poo (or Poop)
I might have used the word when I was in Primary School, but not since. I’ll use the ‘old’ terms, and if talking to a medic might say faeces or defecate, but never, ever Poo.

3) Wow.
No, I did use it once when the alternative might have needed asterisks, but it’s not part of my everyday speech.

4) Oh My God (or OMG, or Oh My Days, or any other soft non-religious euphemism).
Among friends, I might use some Anglo-Saxon term instead.

5) Awesome.
No further comment necessary.

I imagine you can add many to my list.

'sick' when i think something's impressive

[Tilly2]

'Whatever'...said in a scathing and dismissive tone.

'My bad'

[emmie]

innit, its not right, but plenty of children, adults say it, hate it.

[Spungle]

"Epic", which seems to be the new 'awesome'!

The old offensive words of yesteryear, such as "spazz", "nigg8r", "wogs", "pakis", "retard" etc

[bainbrig]

What the heck’s “hereditaments”?

[woofgang]

I am with spungle over the offensive words.....don't think I have ever used sick to mean good or "minging" or any derivative. I am not big on diminutives but couldn't swear I had never used one.

there are a lot of words the younger generation use that I wouldn't but saying that in the 60's and 70's there were words I used that my parents etc wouldn't use .... eg groovy .

Fab, maan.

[mallyh]

[rowanwitch]

Love when I didn't mean it
Sorry ditto

[emmie]

my friend all of 40 thinks i rock and that i am cool, me i doubt it very much....

[spathiphyllum]

I use all of the words

[Ken4155]

'At the end of the day'. We all know that at the end of the day comes night.

[bainbrig]

So Spath, when you say "I use all of the words", a sentence from you might be:
"Hi there, wow, what a poo, that's awesome, OMG!"

Letting the side down, or what...

[spathiphyllum]

Exactly that ;)
