Well it has reached enough common usage, but I still think it's a stupid phrase.

No kiddies, you're not imagining that great sucking sound you're hearing. The English language really is headed straight for hell in a handbasket.

I'd like hear about the words that they take out of the dictionary. They must do it sometimes, otherwise the book would be huge by now.

Bah, study English Language over the last millenia and see what words they take out and put in anc change and so on. The langauge evolves along with the society, this will go out in a few years the same way we don't say "Art thou feeling funky?" anymore or something.

Fortunately my copy of the OED (pocket version, too stingy to buy a big one) has all normal English in.

This is great. If I wear my pocket watch, its now going to be referred to as my "bling-bling".

They never take words out; they just mark them "archaic" or whatever if a word passes from usage.

This reminds me of a great story. I was at Brandywine Picnic Park for a school field trip/end-of-year fun-thing. I was playing a game of pool with a couple of friends, when a bunch of inner city kids bust into the hall.

Well, no, they probably weren't real inner city kids, because I have no real idea why inner city kids would come out to the Brandywine Creek. They were, however, the most authentic group of posers you will ever see. Chains, backwards baseball caps, poor hygiene, beady eyes, four or five layers of clothing(on an 80 degree day) and pitiful social skills.

So they burst in, about eight of them, and they crowd around one of the pool tables- which happens to the one I'm at. Then they start acting all tough. You know, stuff like 'Yo, leave, we got this table'. We ignore them. They say 'yo' about four to five hundred more times, then finally get pissed off. They start grabbing pool sticks, scattering pool balls.

This is actually a rather poor idea, as my friends and I were all much bigger than the were. So I go up to the one who appears to be the leader(denoted by having all the above qualities in extreme excess), lean over him, and in the deepest possible voice, say

"Yoyoyo kill yourself."

Brief pause, and then, universally bitching, they walk back out of the door.

Beautiful, beautiful moment.
