What Words Have Crept Into The English Language Over The Last 10Yrs ?

[Bobbisox1]

BREXIT, the obvious one
MOOT, when something is moot,what does that mean?
SNOWFLAKE not the icy type
SCREENTIME, when someone's glued to their mobile phone

Can you think of anymore?

[maggiebee]

Moot has been around for as long as I can remember - used it many times over the years.
A moot point, question, or issue is one that people disagree about
No longer important, because a particular situation has changed or no longer exists

My language? on my crabby day, you don't want to hear, and I'm to crabby to sit here and think of the English language. But while milling around the shopping centre yesterday I did think I was in another country, such as Poland as an example, can't be *** to name them all, even if I knew. :( ;o)

[davebro]

Of course 300 "new" words were added to the official scrabble dictionary late last year - I think it's revised every 5 years or so. (Pointless game IMV. Some of the best players are E Asians who don't even speak/understand English!)

[Bobbisox1]

Is Sunday normally your crabby day TC? Lol

[teacake44]

Yes, why, what's it got to do with you :) Its gone colder today, I can smell the winter coming, the bedding plants are looking sad, can't decide what to have for dinner, the car needs a wash, can't be bothered. Some dick is blowing his horn up the road, collecting scrap. ( wish I had a police stinger ) to stop him in his tracks. The bed could do with changing, can't be bothered. I dare say in the morning will be hell, as I'm a short cut to the school, and kids of all shapes and sizes will be dragged by the scruff of their neck kicking and screaming, with their moms looking like they've been dragged through a hedge backwards, and that's just the first wave. The second run will be the new starters, sobbing, pleading with mom that if you take me back home instead, I will be as good as gold. ( there's an old saying for ya) bloody little liars. Any how getting back to me, not sure weather to venture out, or stop in? Just tried the heating to see if it still works, rather than find out when its to late, all ok, so I suppose that's a plus. Its now gone dark so that's made my decision to go out more difficult, and to top it all I can see the god squad milling around up the road, god help them if they come to my front door. My dam knee keeps clicking driving me up the wall, signs of old age I guess, ( what's next 0 me toe drop off) sorry what was your question? :) :)

[Bobbisox1]

Haha, I'm literally ROTFL at that post of yours, you brighten my day you do

[THECORBYLOON]

RETRO, what does "snook" mean?

[aelmpvw]

[Bobbisox1]

Ael, it takes me all the time to say that let alone know it's meaning , haha

[Georgiesmum]

Instead of cinema, pronounced cineMAR, it now seems to be widely pronounced cineMER..
I can remember when we used to say we were going to the flicks, or going to the pictures.. and my daughter in law says she went to see a movie!

[Bobbisox1]

Georgiesmum, they say America sneezes and we catch cold here

[Georgiesmum]

[Bobbisox1]

Hate that when the imaginary palm of hand is shown with a 'whatever!

[Georgiesmum]

Yes, I agree Bobbisox.

GUYLINER and BROMANCE?
