I've recently been successful at removing "like" from my vocabulary when it's unnecessary, and I'm trying to limit others as well..for instance "pretty much", "or something". What else is there?

/yes spider counts as well
 
Hm. I don't really use any "GenX" terms. Besides Chick. But that's been in use since the 70s. Well, I sometimes use dude, but its not every other word.
 
You can't pre-pwn or anti-pwn yourself, so other than "spider"... the phrase I'm attempting to eliminate from my vocabulary is, "I understand". Seem to say it alot a work.
 
nifty
neato
holy cow

cannot think of any other right now, but will when i try to go to sleep, no doubt.

and there are a lot of racial, religious and cultural words that we used growing up that were not meant in any harm, were rarely taken as offense that are now considered a hate crime to use. 😉
 
aiight sounds kind of like 'ite' with just a little a before it. You would probably have to hear it to get it right though.

Like ah-ite?
what is it, like some new armor in runescape? I thought I had most of the last 30 years covered, but people are bringing up some word I've never heard of.

I feel left out and old 🙁

It's a play on ebonics to be honest. Basically it's alright in ebonics. "Aiight?!"
