Oh man, one thing I think any of my friends would tell you about me is that I am an extremely persnickety motherfucker when it comes to words. I love words, I don’t feel like people appreciate them enough. There are so many of them with which to choose from, enabling us to convey the nuance of what ever it is that’s inside our skulls. So, it kind of irks me when people resign themselves to parroting trendy vague buzzwords that say so little instead of articulating a fully-formed opinion. I know this all sounds pretty pretentious, but oh well, your mom is ugly.
Hipster - I dislike words that are used pointlessly and inconsistently. Also the way this word is used often reeks of elitism. I just feel like calling any person, place, thing or activity “hipster” is usually the most uninteresting asinine trite thing you can say in most situations.
Meh - “Do you watch Fringe?” “Meh.” “Oh okay! Good talk!” Dismissively expressing your disinterest in a monosyllabic cavemanish sound just seems kind of tasteless to me. I’m trying to have a conversation over here, you can’t do me the courtesy of talking to me like a human being?
Swag - I had a friend addicted to saying this. It got to the point where he seemed to say it after just about any vaguely positive thing. ex: “See ya later.” “Swag.” That friend is probably reading this right now, and he knows I love him like a cousin (don’t worry, given time you’ll get to “like a brother” status) but that was a weird period of time. I’m glad you’ve resolved to phase it out of your vocabulary in 2012. I don’t have that much of a problem with the word itself, just the fact that people were just constantly saying it ad nauseum. Expand your lexicon motherfudgers. You’ll sound like a more interesting person if you seem to express yourself in a unique way.
Oh man, are people going to be mad at me and unfollow me if they say these words a lot? I’m sorry, I take it all back, haha, it was just a joke, it’s cool, they’re just words, I don’t really care, don’t hate me :(
Meh, hipster swag
