    Oh I dont know. "Sick" is one that springs to mind in youth slang.

    Maybe Im getting too old but their version of sounding clever and with it just sounds stupid to me. I dont think Im a stickler for the Queens english but that does get to me a bit.

    What are their kids going to upset them with if the paramaters are changing so much?

    Raising inflections and sounding like a Jamaican gangster is also a bit too much for me. Do you know what I mean?...Jaimaican patois for British chavs. Jafaican..it just makes them sound like idiots to me.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Not as word as such, but when people use two fingers of each hand to simulate quotation marks, I have a great desire to amputate said fingers.
