A co-worker of mine, he is a really good friend but he just will not let the word "pimpin" be put to rest. Everything is pimpin to him. Inatimate objects, places, people and pets. Everything is pimpin.

Case in point; we were designing T Shirts for Miller High Life, then making the T Shirts with a press. The press broke, it was fixed (better then new)

"The High Life shirts came out pimp"
Me: I thought the press was broken?
"Tommy fixed it, its pimping"

Word for word that was our conversation 6 minutes ago. I then go on to explain how the word is tired and can not be linked with inatimate objects, especially something like a T Shirt press. Just let it die. Needless to say my advice has not been taken.

Some slang terms just can not be put to rest Smiley: oyvey

My sister uses the word "gay" constantly. It drives me up the wall. X is "gay", she was acting "gay", "don't be gay", "how gay", ugh.

Of course, she never actually means any of the real meanings of the word gay, so when she tells me I'm acting gay or whatever, I say, "you mean like a queerfaggayhomo?" She usually just rolls her eyes and says no, and then tells me to stop being gay.

*sigh*

Tits, at least in my area and circle of amigos is rarely used, I actually find it amusing.

Calling everything gay is just stupid. It seems to be a "hot" word for the 14-18 year old crowd. Very immature.

I think it's actually gotten to the point where it bothers her she says it, haha. It's just hard to stop doing something like that that you're used to. Like saying "a whole nother" or "irregardless" or "unthaw" if you're used to saying them.

I'm trying to stop using nauseous incorrectly myself.

TILT
My brother-in-law used to manage a Lonestar steak house. One time I went there with my sister and her two year old child and the server came by and made the usual "please tip me" small talk, not knowing who we were. During the course of which, he "complimented" my nephew by saying "He's a real pimp, ain't he?" While not offended, I was rather taken back that someone would use that term in that context.

I let my brother-in-law know that perhaps someone might take offense to having their children called pimps by some punk server and he (the server) might want to work on his chit-chat.

Fight fire with fire.

If you will seriously just take a day or two and make sure you use the word pimpin in sentences more than your buddy does, he'll stop using it. Don't put any emphasis on the word at all, just use it as often as possible. It's important that you do not react aggressively if he confronts you about it. Just act shocked that he could be offended and protest you were only trying to fit in with him instead of criticizing his usage. He'll get the point so thoroughly that you may have to wait a week or so before he stops being too butthurt to talk to you.

Pimpin' is totally tits which, coincidentally, tits is itself pimpin' and that's tight.

Sora, Nexa; Stop being so gay.

Everyone from Rhode Island and Mass need to stop using the word "wicked", it stopped being cool in 1982.

Take it from Stan and Kyle, hella is not a proper prefix.

Ah, here's a good "Stop it!" for ya. It's not unusual for me to be the last person to leave the office. 5:00 hits and the crowd scatters like cockroaches. Our bean counter tends to hang around a bit to finish some end of day number crunching. Every time I'm still here when he leaves, he likes to meander past my office and proclaim "Joe, you're the last of the Mohicans! Good night.".

I sometimes want to slap the stupid right outta his mouth before he even says it. Firstly, my ***** relatives are Narragansett and secondly it's just retarded. Fuc[b][/b]ker's lucky I don't scalp is ***.

Again, fight fire with fire.

Start calling him the next to the last of the Mohicans. Try to get it blurted out before he does every day and put a big dumbass cheesy grin on when ya do it.

If you really try you can out-annoy a Jehovah's witness. All it takes is a little effort and the willingess to be that deliberately cruel to another human being.

if you live in the city, this tactic works on bums, too.
See a guy shaking a cup? ask him for spare change before he asks you. It's wicked effective.

Thats another one thats getting way to much play. Fu[b][/b]cking cnut **** Paris Hilton Smiley: mad

I actually used that word a lot before she really surfaced. I did not realize she had even said "hot" until a bartender asked me if I was a Paris Protege. I had no clue what he was talking about until I actually listened to her talk Smiley: oyvey

It was at that point that I realized I have sounded like a total jackass for the past couple years.
