iamtedking just posted this on twitter:

Super is the new Epic.

Please adjust your vocabulary accordingly.

[Wahine]

Hee hee hee.

[katluvr]

So no more "epic" rides or adventures?

[andtckrtoo]

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.

[Selkie]

That's groovy! Or as we said in the 80s, b*tchin' (as in "b*tchin' camaro" -- one of my favorite songs!)

[7rider]

I thought it was "awesome"?
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.

[smilingcat]

I would think it should be suuuper and not superrrrr I think the emphasis is on uuu not rrrrr.

ahhhh what dooo I knoooww aaaanywaaay

[spazzdog]

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

That's crazy! So now not only are kids too lazy to write out whole words, they can't even be bothered to lift their fingers off the keys in a timely manner?

Oy, I feel so old!

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.
