Hee hee hee.
So no more "epic" rides or adventures?:confused:
Oh man, a SUPER ride does not have the same ring as an EPIC ride...
I say we boycott this trend until we can come up with a suitable word to replace Epic.
That's groovy! Or as we said in the 80s, b*tchin' (as in "b*tchin' camaro" -- one of my favorite songs!)
I thought it was "awesome"? :confused:
Man...I am soooo behind the times.
Based on the facebook postings I'm seeing from teenage relatives, I think we need to repeat one of the letters, like superrrrrrr or maybe suuuuuuuper.
I don't understand the point of this -- my 17-year-old nephew just posted his new class schedule and one of his friends wrote "I have psychology with youuuu." And the other day my 16-year-old cousin responded "idkkk" to something I wrote. Is there a meaning to the repeated letter? Or do they they just have a stuck key on their keyboard? I don't know. Or rather, idk. But if we really want to be hip and with-it, I think we need a repeated letterrrrrrr.
I would think it should be suuuper and not superrrrr :p I think the emphasis is on uuu not rrrrr.
ahhhh what dooo I knoooww aaaanywaaay :p:p:p
As a SYTYCD (So You Think You Can Dance) junkie, I learned a new one the past couple of seasons...
Buck! or BUCK!
Seems to mean totally flawless and fab/incredible/super-duper

Oy, I feel so old! :eek:
I think they're doing it on purpose. I'll ask my nephew tomorrow when I see him. Or maybe I'll ask his 12-year-old sister, if I can get her to stop texting her friends long enough.Quote:

I like best:
Dude, that ride was mythological!
But that's way too hard for today's texting teen to spell...
I vote for doughty. I'm not even sure how to pronounce it (doubt-ee? doe-tee? doff-tee?) but that hardly matters as it will only be used in digital communication.

Everyone is so far behind me.
I don't know how long I've been saying it.
It's not epic.
It's not super.
It's super-mega.
Super mega bike ride! Super mega bike ride! Super mega bike ride!
I prefer..coolio yo
Sorry, but I'm going to nix that one. It's pronounced nearly the same as dowdy. Can you imagine?Quote:

"What?!? You've never really had a doughty ride? Sucks for you!"
"You dowdy woman! What the heck are you talking about?"
"Gee, thanks, but I'm not sure I deserve that compliment."
"Never mind. Let's talk about baseball."
LOL! Good laugh w/ my morning coffee!Quote:

Great, fun, wow, super, awesome, ah man killer!:cool:
That is how I think of it...(again, not sure I have ever had "epic"--maybe pretty darn close, but not the pinnacle of rides/adventures. I like to think there is more and even better to come!):p
Bummer! I LOVE "Epic Fail". I go looking for reasons to use that one. Now it's passe? *sigh*
I'm not using super instead of epic until there are epic feminine hygiene products. And as far as that goes, nothing tops "overnight."

I may just cling to epic for everything in my life! :p Like my epic summer of sitting on my butt, with a broken ankle. :mad: I did have an epic 10 minute warmup on the stationary bike before PT yesterday. :rolleyes:
Oh - and I am very pleased to say that I have never required epic feminine hygiene products!
No.Quote:
