The problem with buying or making fancy bread is that after a few days, you're not sure if those spots are supposed to be there or not.

That's the sign of quality bread, which America lacks. Nothing against wonderbread (love it) but bread shouldn't last for months. Or even weeks. Or even a week.

Also, I use the terms "no worries" and "no sweat". Are they annoying?

I also use the terms "brilliant", "awesome", "hilarious", and "fantastic". Are those annoying too?

they are now

If you are using "no worries" or "no sweat" as a response to a polite "Thank you", then yeah; a bit annoying. "No problem" can bug the hell out of me, especially when a waiter says it. Like I think you doing your job would be a problem.

Your adjectives are fine, as you actually know what they mean.

For whatever reason, the slang that bugs me most is "Legit."

Literally epic.

Or either one of the two words.

"Literally" I can get behind, even though I occasionally slip it out from time to time without realizing it.

However, I think "epic" can be acceptable if you're describing something with a sense of grandeur or incredible scale. Granted, given how most people seem to just use it as a synonym for "neat" or "cool," it's gotten pretty overused and you're probably better off avoiding it completely, but still. Just sayin'

As I suspected...

For whatever reason, the slang that bugs me most is "Legit."

"I used to be legit. I was too legit. I was too legit to quit. but now I'm not legit. I'm unlegit. And for that reason, I must quit."

Hot Rod (2007) is such a great movie...

"Radicool" however is the best word ever.

[Ack]

This whole conversation has been slammin', yo.

Not bad...but my wife and I prefer...chillaxin'.

Unless people are going to remember it and glorify it for all time, it isn't epic. Most the crap I see being called "epic" on this board is "meh" at best.


Oh. There's another one. "Meh".

It kinda works if you think of it instead as shorthand for "of an epic-like scope/scale/quality/whatever." Maybe.

By far the worst might be actually saying "lol" (as in "L-O-L") out loud. I've got myself doing it a few times. I felt so bad.
