Why are you linking me to the dictionary? I answered this earlier. They're used in different contexts. I don't think the word is stupid when used in the right fashion. And there's nothing 'wrong' with it per-se, this thread asked what words make you cringe and those ones do. I don't have to like it and if I don't like them, it doesn't mean they are 'wrong' and if you like them, it doesn't mean they are 'right'.
When posh girls I know force the word 'bare' into their convos IDK why but thats the word they all use and it just sounds so awkward and try hard,

This made me cringe
Peak
Piff.
"Hella" "lit" "bae"

And although this is not strictly slang I have been noticing its usage more and more: "low key" just stop ****ing saying low key about every thing. Why is everything low key? Why is an obviously attractive person low key cute? Why is something that's reasonably funny making you low key laugh? Arrrrrrgh!
Lol at the richer counterparts of TSR hating on the roadman language...

'Fam', 'safe' and 'banter' is pretty much ingrained in my informal talk, it's how I talk to my friends.

I promise I won't talk that way when I meet anyone from the middle classes and upwards though, if that offends them so much :smile:

Ugh "haters"... Every time I hear someone say it I think, if you weren't such a bellend then you wouldn't have so many people hating you that you have to give them a collective name. Can't stand it when rappers rap about haters, the rappers from previous eras didn't have to rap about haters because they weren't hated on, it's hard to have people hating you when you're undeniably good.

I can kind of understand very successful rappers doing it, but not 20 something nobodies on social networking sites.
When I hear any Roadman slang I think of this.
Cringe? Nah none of them make me cringe.. It's more like this, I get a feeling that it's my duty to walk over to whoever used a slang word and tell them I hope they get molested. Then I would walk off.. That is how I feel about slang.. I know that wasn't funny.. It wasn't meant to be... I hate people who choose to use words such as 'fam', 'mandems' and other words like that.. I'd hate to sound evil but I wouldn't mind hitting them with a car :smile:...

I know... I know.. There's something wrong with me.
