Have you ever found yourself using slang from teh lounge in real life?

[madinmaryland]

I caught myself using "teh" to my wife. She said :wtf:

:rofl:

[ghostsofgiants]

1. That's not just lounge slang, that's an internet-wide phenomenon.

[NJmaverick]

2. Can you explain what the whole "teh" phenomena is?

I see it all the time, but don't know the story behind it.

[madinmaryland]

3. it's a typographical error.

"t" and "e" are typed by the same hand and adjacent fingers, and the timing can be off giving you "teh". It's a mistake I have made on more than one occasion.

[WinkyDink]

4. "Kitteh".

[madinmaryland]

5. Yeah. I've used that too!

[mainegreen]

6. I've said 'what a moran' in real life.

My wife also gave me the 'WTF' look.
When I explained, sheepishly, it was from DU, she gave me an 'Ooooooh' eyeroll.

She doesn't get DU.

:D

[madinmaryland]

22. I've said that too. The other things get the eyeroll though.

[TZ]

7. I say moran sometimes.

However since I have a couple of DU friends that I talk to on the phone thats usually okay..but my mother has gone uh what? A time or two...

[madinmaryland]

9. I've used that for a long time, also!

[madeline_con]

30. I say it all the time.

Sometimes, I use Bugs Bunny's "maroon". :rofl:

[LeftyMom]

8. Only while talking to flvegan.

:shrug:

[yellowdogintexas]

10. one word: brazillion, when referring to a very large number

I bet most of you do too.

[madinmaryland]

11. Heh Heh!!

Yeap!!

[Critters2]

12. I use "brazillion" a lot now! I've also used "moran" a time or two. nt

[madinmaryland]

13. I find myself thinking about saying "HUGH" and "Seriesly" also.

Never actually said them out loud though!

[Critters2]

14. I love your sig file!! nt

[madinmaryland]

15. Which part of it??

BTW, I would like to shove that cake into those men's faces!!1!!

[Critters2]

16. "Signature line are currently turned off due to high traffic on I-95."

But the dead horse is good, too.

Mine is just a subtle reminder of where these guys were when NOLA was being devastated. With the implied question:"Do we REALLY want 4 more years of THAT?" Someone should've shoved the cake into their faces that day!

[bertha katzenengel]

17. LOL yeah, that one --

I haven't said it but I've had to stop myself a couple of times.

Does your wife think you're as much of a loon as mine thinks of me, for hanging here? ;)

[madinmaryland]

21. She's given up worrying about that. She just sighs and says ..

"oh, its that DU thingie again"

:rofl:

Well we did get a cat out of DU, so she doesn't mind it. We adopted a cat from Flaxbee three years ago!

[bertha katzenengel]

23. COOL!

:bounce:

[bigwillq]

18. No

Don't think I ever have.

[mcctatas]

19. ???????

what do you mean "real life"? the lounge is my life :rofl:

[TZ]

20. Don't tutch the but!

I'm sure that is a phrase used in your household as well.....:D

[madinmaryland]

24. Leave it to you to hijack the thread with your pevity!!1!!

:rofl:

[madeline_con]

31. As a DU inside joke, it has to be in print...

to really be appreciated. It's the new classic. :rofl:

[LostinVA]

25. I can't say "moron" anymore -- it comes out "moran" every time

And, "screwn," "pev," and "brazillion."

[madinmaryland]

26. I've got my wife saying "screwn" now. And she has never been on DU.

[yellowdogintexas]

27. I have been known to say 'Casting asparagus' a time or two. nt

[madinmaryland]

28. I've never used that one.

:shrug:

[madeline_con]

32. I love all of these.

Working at a school, it's guaranteed MOST people get them.

[Adsos Letter]

29. Not specifically Lounge slang....

but I used the term "snarky" the other day, and my wife and daughter both went :wtf:

and then he told me i needed to not spend so much time here.

[MsTryska]

35. i was explaining don't tutch the but

to my best friend jsut yesterday.

[Rhythm]

36. Conversations between Oktoberain and i are so littered with

Loungeisms and LOLcat-isms at times that outsiders probably think we're either foreigners or need a little special help. *L*
