yeah that is about it.
funny thing is, I doubt anyone actually LOL's for about 99.9% of the time they type it.
ROFLMAO
Don't forget emo's
Unfortunately LOL and all other such crap has been Gen X's doing even though it appeared in Gen Y's time. It was on chat rooms long before it became text speak.
I apologize on behalf of my generation for fluro coloured trackies.
I can't stand it, neither should you.
Like Wot - eveeerrr
Where is my **** hair gel?!?! Muuuummmm!! I can't go out like this ya **** *** ***** mole!!
I like watching Talkin 'Bout yoru Generation (the game show) but the GenY contestants always really annoy me. The lack of general knowledge is appalling.
GenX get a lot of Q's correct about the Boomer's stuff from the 50's thru to the 80's but GenY always have no idea about anything that is over 5-10 years old.
Perhaps it is because the poor GenY captain fella (whoever he is) always gets lumbered with a piece of blonde fluff that is famous for being a pretty airhead and not much else.
yeah c'mon "Gen-Y." You're nearly 25 and haven't changed the world yet.
(and when you do us BB's and Xrs won't give you credit for it..... quit your job and see the world....good on yas)
You could kind of credit the new version of R&B to gen Y, especially since they have taken a pre-existing music genre name and applied it to music that is only vaguely related. Bloody confusing but that is what you can expect when they were brought up by baby boomers.
Ah, way to go, insulting the generation either side of me in one boring post!
My lovely (well sometimes) lady is my age but naturally looks a lot younger so does that mean I feel like a face-lift???
The above vid threw up an ad for White Papers on Gen Y, which led to here:
mccrindle.com.au/insights/publications/
...which led to "The Gen Y Lexicon" on page 8 here of this:
www.mccrindle.com.au/wp_pdf/Wordup_Lexicon.pdf
... which contained:
chat
adj. Disgusting, wrong, not very nice. "That sandwich looks chat."
and
jigga
1. n. A gigolo; someone who's got a way with the ladies. "Yo, whussup jigga."
I am really out of touch
(I'm half trollin' with this thread by the way, not dissin' ya (that's X too))
For a while I thought LOL was "lots of love". Then my boss started to put it in emails to me which made me worried until someone told me the true meaning. Makes a lot more sense now.
WHO'S TO BLAME??
Poor Gen Y didn't have a chance! Thanks to their parents guidance (Baby B's) and their role models (Gen x)!
They've been given stupid name to start with! I saw a girl the other day working at the checkout - her name was Samantha..... spelt Cymantha!! WTF! (even the spell check is saying it's spelt wrong).
So just remember - everything you pick on Gen Y for - is ultimately your fault!
This is why gen Y is the way they are -
A learner driver has been caught texting a friend and not wearing a seat belt as her mother sat in the passenger seat sipping coffee.
The 16-year-old girl was pulled over in Ryrie Street, Geelong about 2pm on Thursday afternoon.
Police say they spotted her "furiously texting on her mobile phone while trying to drive".
Her mother, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, was reportedly drinking coffee and looking out the window.
When police asked her what level of supervision she was providing her daughter, she allegedly replied, "How can I do anything? I have a terrible headache."
