Annoying millennial speech habits
« on: April 15, 2018, 01:39:15 PM »
I've noticed a few of those annoying things the kiddies say nowadays, but I've picked some of them up myself. Found myself saying, "True that," until my d-i-l pointed it out in a way that made it clear she was sick and tired of hearing it.

9. Many folks here love to stereotype. Let me see...southerners probably the number one

target for stereotyping, but then there are baby boomers, Christians, people who own guns, people who live in the country, people who drive pick-ups, people who drive BMWs, vegans, meat eaters, home schoolers, private schoolers, men, women...oh, the list is long and varied.

37. This board has a very "get off my lawn" vibe to it

I'm a token non boomer on this board. If I had to guess, there's a lot of people who would otherwise post here who don't because of this. I almost feel the need to apologize for being born in the 80s instead of the 50s.

The Democratic Party needs to open up for all generations (judging by candidate recruitment for this cycle, they have), as do places like this. There was a poster here who called Run For Something (a group who's goal is to elect a bench of younger Democrats who understand the issues young people are facing) to state/local offices ageist. IMO that's like calling EMILY's list sexist because they don't support male candidates.

51. Outgroup Homogeneity Effect:

"The tendency to view an outgroup as homogenous, or as “all the same,” whereas the ingroup is seen as more heterogeneous or varied."

AKA, prejudice.
I live in the country and suspect I have been lumped into the "toothless ignorant hillbilly" cohort by urbane passers-through.

41. You mean like we don't stereotype Boomers?

We must not pick on the millennials, because they are our future. Just ask David Camera-Hogg. True that.

16. This one is very subtle and I have noticed it

because it affects my last name.

Losing the t sound in the middle of a two syllable word if there is a vowel before and after the t.

Nu--er Bu--er

Fa--un (fatten)

Co--un

It drives me crazy!!!!

I do volunteer work at an animal shelter and had to hear the young'uns talk about the "ki-ens" all the time.

Fun thread. I'd rather see them pick at each other than read more about Trump and The Deplorables right now.

As a du'er, liberal / progressive you need to apologize for being born at all. :loser: :lmao:

There is one speech habit that almost all of libs, regardless of age, have. Each one refers to itself as a "demonicrat" but says it in such a way that it sounds like "democrat".

I haven't heard any of those Millennialisms, but maybe I don't hang out in malls often enough or something.

Starting all your sentences with "So..."

Two questions:
1. Do millennials actually hang out at the mall?
2. Do malls still exist?

Language is very dynamic. Read some books in the English of circa 1400 - 1500 and you'll find you have trouble understanding it. Go back a couple of more centuries and you'll find you can't understand a single sentence. You may get a word or two here and there but not enough to deduce a meaning.

Excellent. It's hard to believe it's the same language we speak. I started reading books written by some of the more famous Puritans (John Owens, Richard Baxter, John Bunyon) and I started with the modern updates but switched to the original text. It was very difficult at first. Not so much the words being used but the sentence and grammar structure feels unnatural at first.

Not to mention: "Wait!"

I have noticed  some of my students dropping consonants - especially "d's" and "t's" -  in the mi (dd) le of words: La (t) in, ba (tt) le, etc. as if they are the lowest of low-class Limeys! 

A symbol of their general laziness, pure and simple, and therefore auguring nothing good about the future!
