Most often used when someone is deploying a dubious assertion that is not necessarily a fact. “Pat Kenny wants to crush every single person in this country like a bug. Fact.”
When someone does not have strong feelings about something, but for some reason feels the need to express their lack of strong feelings. I mean… come on guys. Just come on.
We genuinely don’t understand this one. As this tweeter pointed out, French people don’t say “le sigh”. They don’t say “sigh” at all. So why the “le”? It makes no sense, and it’s passive-aggressive.
As in “Bored.com”, “Excited.com”, “Whimsical.com”. As if we were just entering the internet age, and hadn’t been dealing in .coms for the last two decades or so. Stop it now.
Worst when at its most banal. “Roll on Friday”, “Roll on the weekend”, “Roll on holidays!”. As this tweeter observes, “They’re the same people who make “beer/wine o’clock” or “London Baby!” their FB status. And check-in at “my comfy bed”.” RAGE.
