'Badass': the internet word for 'critique'. Drives me up the fucking wall it does, everytime I see it.

Do we have any nominations of words to banish for 2010?
I would like to submit "bromance" and "brom-com". I don't think I need to explain why.

There was article in the paper about a month ago about several new words that have made it into the latest edition of the English dictionary. Some are just ridiculous stuff that todays youth have come up with like 'defriend' which means removing somebody from your friends list on Facebook!

Gonna be controversial here and nominate one that people use on the Hub sometimes:
"Meh."

Argh, I hate "Lush". Everyone at school used that in the mid 80s, and then in the mid 90s when I was in Bristol it was very common.

Do people still use the word 'tangoed' meaning to hit or slap someone around the face? I'm sure you're all well aware this came about because of a certain drinks advert in the early 90's but long after the advert vanished from our screens kids were still saying it around where I live well into the late 90's.

Wasn't that advert banned in the end?
I suppose it was a pre-cursor to Happy Slapping.
I am so glad I decided to stop going to school.

The advert was banned apparently because some kid had been tangoed and had suffered a perforated eardrum due to it (I found this out from an interview by one of the ad directors on this Channel 4 countdown called The 100 Greatest Adverts).
The ad was changed but that didn't stop kids from tangoing each other.

After venturing out of the safe warm confines of the Hub into the unknown corridors of the Internet to find out what people were saying about the Wreckers comic, I would like to nominate for banishment the use of the word "win" as an adjective or noun.
"That's guy's pure win."
"That was an instant win."
There are such words as 'victorious' and 'victory', fellas. Don't be lazy!

I don't actually mind that terminology it's stuff like 'taxed' or 'pwned' which both generally mean the same thing and also words like 'phat' as in 'that guy's phat' meaning something completely opposite to what it sounds like that I'm not all that fond of.

After dabbling my feet experimentally in the waters of another TF forum and coming running back scared to the Hub, I have seen the light and agree with Ralph. The word 'canon' should be erased from space and time. Martin |

What forum was that? Seibertron.com, IDW or some other forum that I steer clear of?
