"Bougie" sucks.

Bougie has been around for decades.

Do white people use the term bougie?

Sis and iconic.

Well, it sucks, R9. Or the people who use it do.

They've recently started to R11.

Cis is my vote for the stupidest fuckign word as used in the stupid context of today.

Woke.

Transqueen

Mah pronouns

Texting acronyms being said in real life verbal conversations.

They, Them, Their .. when referring to a singular person.

R15, yes. Along with everyone it describes.

cis

R13 it's the other way around. non-white people don't start French slang.

I know someone over 40 who hashtagged a photo of her kindergartener #BougieAF and I wanted to slap her.

R10 since you learned a new word you think you started it

Colto

I only heard of bougie a month ago. How long has it been around?

Cisgender - this means I have an actual gender, not a figment of my imagination.

Cisggender is an idiotic term for idiots who use it.

*Cisgender

They were saying "bougie" on Good Times and The Jeffersons. It has long been a black slang word.

Some words need to stay in the hood.

R29 not really

Bourgeoisie means a social class of people who own the means of production, making them in the upper or merchant class.

You really think ghetto hoodrats can even read this definition?

R29 I've never heard bougie used on The Jeffersons, which was my favorite show, or Good Times.

R33 is right.

"Bougie" has been around for nearly 30 years, if not longer. Roseanne and Tom Arnold used it on one of their insufferable appearances on Arsenio. It wouldn't surprise me one bit to hear it used on The Jeffersons, because it would explain why Roseanne used it; she thought it would give her cred with "the blacks" who watched Arsenio.

Thanks R35 for mentioning.

Cred

Alright since you won't believe me, maybe you will believe Webster's. They take it back to 1732, but in it's current meaning 1966/68.

R35 Roseanne didn't start using it because of "the blacks" and you're wrong

Shareeka and Tyrone were overheard using it in 1732 in line to purchase Poisson at the charcuterie.

"Bougie" was used in a 1991 episode of Fresh Prince, so it was definitely well known enough by then to be dialogue in a sitcom. Sitcoms aren't known for using words that will be difficult for the audience to recognize or understand.

Woke.

[quote]Roseanne didn't start using it because of "the blacks" and you're wrong

Learn to read, fuckwit. I didn't say there was empirical proof that she had, I said it wouldn't surprise me if she had done so. "Bougie" started out as black American slang, and when an insufferable white lady like Roseanne -- who at the time was trying really hard to be seen as a liberal trailblazer -- went on what she perceived was a "black show" and started using black American slang, there was a reason for it, and the reason in these cases is NEVER a good one.

They NEVER said "bougie" on the Jeffersons or Good Times.

No, they did not.

R43 Sure, Jan

Iconic” isn’t slang. It is an actual word.

One may use they/their/them, when speaking of one person, yet wanting to keep their gender unidentifiable, for whatever reasons.

Blacks using a term doesn't mean they started it. Sorry to upset you black slang scholar.

What does bougie mean? I’ve heard it used as both very expensive and very cheap.

Off topic, but it is amazing how ingratiated and legendary Eminem has become being a nerdy white kid from suburban middle America.

Willona said bougie in at least one episode and Florence said it on the Jeffersons multiple times. I have the boxsets of both shows. But you guys know everything, so believe what you fucking want.

OK Boomer

R51 if you have the boxset you should know the episode

At least Madonna pronounced it correctly in "Music"

R53 is trying too hard to start a race fight. Who does that on a Saturday night? Go heat up a Totinos and watch Netflix, you big baby.

R55 back up what you say bitch

Meanwhile., waiting on examples from The Jeffersons...

Hear that, R55? R56 is calling. You. Out.

R58 you tell him, homegurl!

Bougie means pretentious, full of himself; a person who is not nearly as sophisticated as she thinks she is.

I like using woke to show contempt, with a sneer.

The irony is that "bourgois" originally meant "middle class" and was a put down by upper classes meaning someone was tacky, etc. and therefore middle class, not upper class.

Then blacks starting using it to mean "uppity" or like someone from the 'hood who either got money or tries to act like they got money buy wearing fancy cothes, nice cars etc. acting "all bougie". The opposite i.e. acting like a higher class than he/she is.

Woke is cringeworthy to hear and read, but will sadly be around forever

No, it won't, R62. In fact, I think it will have a very short shelf life.

Bae

On point

The Jeffersons were an example of bourgeois - "New Money" - which is why they wouldn't be referring to others that way.

agency--as in, "They have agency..."

Malarkey

That's been around since the first Queen Elizabeth, R68.

The problem seems to be not the words themselves but the appropriators of the words.

People here see also don't seem to know the difference between slang and actual words.

I agree on "bae" – the worst. Bæ in Danish is an actual word that means poop.

From baby to babe to bae. Are people that lazy? What's next, "ba"?

Canceled

Lily Aldridge posted a video on youtube recently about the times she was fired from modeling jobs, but she says she "was canceled" the whole time and never says the word fired.

Slay

Yass

Thirsty

Anyone who says those words I want to stab them in the eye with a red hot poker.

We have a variation of this thread every few months.

Do people still say "bae"? Because the answer is bae.

Sick, when misused to mean something is extremely good or interesting. "That outfit is SICK"

Rock, when misused to describe the fact that someone did something insignificant in a way the speaker thinks is somehow a high accomplishment. "She ROCKED those jeans!"

Shut down, when misused to mean to silence someone. "She SHUT DOWN that internet troll with one tweet!"

Ugly words that are complimentary:

That wig is "snatched".

Gurl, your face is so "beat".

R73 - how about "I am SHOOK!" which is used by folks who describe themselves as "slayed"?

[quote]Bougie means pretentious, full of himself; a person who is not nearly as sophisticated as she thinks she is.

I thought bougie means expensive. So a person who says she bought bougie clothes is putting herself down?

"Is so 'extra' about" -- Retarded

"Blah blah 'is goals'" -- Take a fucking english class.

"Bro, did you see that, bro? Bro, that girl that I haven't seen before... 'that's my wife', bro." -- Don't breed.

phat

"Totes adorbs."

Instant death penalty for that one. Instant!

[quote] They take it back to 1732, but in it's current meaning 1966/68.

While you’ve got that dictionary open, look up the difference between its and it’s.

Fuck you, R82. Every time I type "were" it gets auto-corrected to "we're." Every time I type "its" it auto-corrects to "it's." Stop with the stupid, pointless, empty, vacuous "Oh, dear!" The problem is one that Silicon Valley has created. It is compounded by Muriel's cheap lazy ass that daily takes in money and then does too little to maintain the site. And you. You are part of the problem.

But people who come here to catch a breath of the dank, bitter, air at Data Lounge and are sabotaged by all of the above are inappropriate targets of your witless faux-admonishments. Go back to 6th grade where you belong.

Turn off your autocorrect, r83. I don't use it on any of my devices.

Cis. I loathe that absurd term. If ever we needed a primary example of "wokeness" run amok, it's the appearance of this word.

'Bourgie Bourgie' was a disco hit for Gladys Knight and the Pips in 1980, and it was written by Ashford & Simpson a few years earlier.

Cis and woke are two of the worst to come out in the last couple of years. I cringe when I hear either of these unfortunate terms.

R79 “Bruh” is even worse.

My autocorrect on DL does that too R83, I thought it was some setting I'd forgotten to turn off.

Munty

I'd nominate "clapped back at" which allows the White Person saying it to seem simultaneously down with The Blacks, The Teens and The Twitter.

Impactful.

That one has to stop.

Describing anything as 'bomb' or 'the bomb'.

BOOTIE

MUSSIE

The word COOL never goes out of style.

DLEGs saying "spilled some tea" and "hunty" because they watched RPDR a few times

Stunty

Axing questions

R91 you really White People give a shit about "being simultaneously down" with The Blacks, The Teens and The Twitter?

R91 Blacks and Latino adults are the ones stunted at high-school level hip-hop culture.

You old, bitter queens. When you were young and fresh, you had your own slang like groovy and daddio and greaser and far out and bummer. And not everything has to be turned into a race thread. Stop being old and racist.

R102 stop being a queeny bitch

Fuck you, R102. I am not old and racist.

I am old and crabby.

R102 your white envy is showing

R101 what vile racism. Disgusting

R97: 'Spilling the tea' has been around since the disco era, if not earlier. It sure didn't originate with RPDL.

Every thread is a new opportunity for miserable elderly white gays (who failed at life) to announce their self perceived white superiority. They’ve failed at everything else. White skin is their only achievement. Which of course is not an achievement at all. Sad and pathetic 😞

Facts bruh ⬆️

No, R115, every thread is a new opportunity for pointless bitchery. It's what we do here. It's our raison d'être.

Obviously, someone at club called OP bougie AF.

Responding specifically to passive-aggressive, trolling posts generalizing white people isn't "vile racism," hypocritical pearl-clutchers.

R107 posted in a "Friends" title format from twenty-six years ago.

R115 obviously feels guilty for jerking off to white dick

All slang terms need to be abandoned. Their only purpose is to divide and weaken society as a whole. We're divided enough, we don't need senseless jibber-jabber to accelerate this negative process. It's just one of many evil practices that keep the working class to continuously into groups hating one another. The results are, imbeciles like Trump continue to get elected.

Talk about reaching ⬆️

AMAZEBALLS.

“Junk” - slang for penis.

Junk has been around forever, since the late 80s.

R197 is YourMillennialCunt who is, for some reason, now scared to use his verified signature now.

R107 is YourMillennialCunt who is, for some reason, now scared to use his verified signature now.

R127 Probably because assholes like you try to burn him at the stake every time he rears his head.

His hateful, homophobic posting style is exactly the same. He's just afraid to sign it now.

[quote]Every time I type "were" it gets auto-corrected to "we're." Every time I type "its" it auto-corrects to "it's." Stop with the stupid, pointless, empty, vacuous "Oh, dear!"

The Oh Dearing of what are obviously autocorrect typos is very stupid, yes, and usually done by overexcitable types trying to fit in and feel superior.

On the other hand, you need to turn off autocorrect. It doesn't fix everything -- autocomplete can't be turned off on my keyboard and it'll give me some errors every once in a while -- but it will vastly improve your typo ratio.

"throw a fuck"

"See how that works?"

Not a slang term but an annoying, overused one.

“vibe,” the feels,” and seconding “totes” anything.

Fibromyalgia.

Fixed that for ya!

THIS. SO THIS.

Yes, I know they are phrases.

Game changer. Ugh.

There's a DJ on local radio who has what she thinks is a cool 13 year old son. So she uses terms he uses like "ridonkulous" and a couple of others.

13 year old boys are NOT cool, no matter what mommy thinks.

R138 Does your radio magically broadcast old signals from 1993? Nobody says "ridonkulous" anymore, especially not 13 year olds.

No. It's someone on broadcast radio nowadays.

Uh, r139, I think that was his point.

She also thinks her kid can do no wrong so he thinks so too. He's about to enter high school and he's gonna get his ass handed to him.

DL so award

Huh?

My sentiments exactly, R144.

Not slang exactly but trendy in their recent usages: Disruptor/Disruptive/Disruption Reinvention/Reinvented

Cunty should never go away.

[quote] No, [R115], every thread is a new opportunity for pointless bitchery. It's what we do here. It's our raison d'être.

Datalounge is full of pointless bitchery. It is also full of overt and less overt white supremacist racism. Which is obviously the norm for you. Therefore you don’t notice it. It rears its ugly head, even in the most seemingly benign threads.

Agreed, R147. Nor will it. Especially with the cunties here trying to turn this thread into a political one.

Inclusive and Valid are two terms I can't bear to hear anymore. It's always used by the most vacuous, self-absorbed asshole.

Start a conversation.

"Crush" or "smash" to say "did well." It cements you as a moron.

"Rock" used in similar context to what R152 said.

Rock is a piece of stone. It's not a verb.

"Hob" instead of "stovetop". All Britishisms needs to be eradicated.

"Smash" in lieu of "fuck".

Niggers are so annoying and resentful. Go back to Africa. No, we are not attracted to ugly black skin and ugly black hair. Now get the hell out of here, apes.

R96’s right hand is firmly in the pocket of his oversize pinstripe suit jacket, completing his look comprised of a skinny tie & Stacey Adams. Some godtier 80’s shit.

[quote] All Britishisms needs to be eradicated.

Oh, please don’t. I love saying some of them for a chuckle in the US.

Lift for elevator, boot for trunk, bonnet for hood, etc.

R158, do you know they say "wardrobe" instead of "closet" and "pudding" instead of "dessert"? What is wrong with these people? I watch Joel and Lia videos and just shake my head.

And "chest of drawers" instead of "dresser". Laughable.

“_____ could get it!”

CRUSHING ON

So many pensioners skulking listlesly in this thread. MEH!

"Gayling."

It's hideous. Just hideous!

It was a quasi-cute thought once upon a time when it was new, but it's over-stayed its welcome.

People who use the word "cringey" deserve to die.

ELDER GAY

R159- Joel seems like such a GAY BOY.

"No fucks to give"

Stabby

queer

Yeesh, has Datalounge always been full of virulent racists? I just started posting again after not being here for about 5 years, and I don't remember seeing this many angry Stormfront-esque posts.

It's election season R170. It's gonna be like this through November 3.

"Fatty," as used in the Alex Wolff/Asa Butterfield thread:

[quote]Sorry, can't get over Asa's fatty.

I think the typist is typing about Alex's ass. I've never heard of "fatty" being used to mean "ass" before.

[quote]R159 - Joel seems like such a GAY BOY.

Yeah but he's cute and has personality. I like both him and Lia. I've read on other threads that he doesn't talk about his own sexuality but mentions that one of his brothers is gay.

and too many more to mention

That use of the clapping emoji in SJW things.

"Hey" instead of "Hi"

Young retail staff and restaurant workers saying "Have a good one." instead of "Bye."

I've always said "hey."

Hate "have a nice one" or "have a good one." Have a good [italic]what[/italic]? But that's been with us so long, I associate it with Gen X and the "no problem" generation.

I agree with you, R15. "Woke" definitely needs to go.

I want to stab the woman who started, "On Fleek". I HATE that expresson.

Also YAAAAS or YASSSS QWEEEN.

R177, I use George Carlin’s line for that:

“I already have a good one. I’m looking for a longer one.”

"… is goals"

"because the internet"

"ok boomer"

Queef.

The word makes me gag.

Can we please get rid of "tea" as in "spilling the...". It's ridiculous to read it in headlines such as "Celebrity X spills the tea on her latest romance", etc.

"Diss." It's old already but people still use it.

‘Hey’ as a substitute for ‘hi’ is a long-standing Southernism that like ‘y’all’ has been ruined by online illiterati

Yeet, whatever that means.

Not slang as much as tired, overused phrases - "That's it. That's the tweet." "I don't know who needs to hear this, but..."

Hunty

Receipts. As in "show me proof." If this hasn't already been said.

Younger people refer to body hair on a guy as "fur". Seriously annoying to me.

"I’m looking at you..." I hate this stupid fucking phrase. It might have been slightly amusing the first time someone used it 10 years ago, but it’s gotten to the point where lazy writers use it constantly, and it’s sounds so stoooopid.

Spelling "stupid" "s-t-o-o-o-o-p-i-d." It's stupid.

No one uses "bougie" other than gay black men and young black activist types (both male and female, straight and queer)--they have used it since i was a child, and I am in my early 50s. I have never heard a non-black person (except for college students trying to be hip) use it.

"Hunty" is very out-of-date, and was drag slang when it was in fashion.

Most Americans of all ages now say "hey" in greeting rather than "hi."

Not slang, but this seems like the most appropriate thread to complain about it. I hate the way news people keep saying Dems attacked e-chother instead of each other. Is it so hard to enunciate?

[quote]Most Americans of all ages now say "hey" in greeting rather than "hi."

That just means most Americans are wrong. Wouldn't be the first time. "Hey" sounds vaguely rude.

I like to listen to Nick Digilio on WGN radio in Chicago. He always says "Hi" to his callers and they answer back in kind. A man after my own heart.

Regarding the Hey/Hi debate.

I had a coworker who would respond, “Hey? Hey? Hay is for horses. Save it in case you marry a jackass.”

Lol, R195. Awesome.

I first noticed people saying "Hey" on the TV show "Friends". I wonder if they started the trend or if they were just reflecting what was already happening among young people.

[quote] I had a coworker who would respond, “Hey? Hey? Hay is for horses.

Is she Carol Burnett pretending to be Bette Davis? (see 5:05-5:15)

Does that make you Vicki Lawrence or Lyle Waggoner?
