It doesn't mean respond. More like retort, but worthy of an "oh, snap!"Clapback
I mean, did we really need an alternate word for "respond"?
And if you're clapping back did someone clap forward/at/toward you? How does that work, exactly?
Okay. "Retort" then.It doesn't mean respond. More like retort, but worthy of an "oh, snap!"

It's just #### kids in middle school/high school say.Yeah, all of those suck.
Wow, that sounds worse than I had even imagined. I think if I had someone say that to me, I'd probably throat punch them before I could stop myself.Just means to get what you want, accomplish the thing you are after, etc.

It would most likely be from a 15 year old so as your lawyer, I would strongly advise against it.Wow, that sounds worse than I had even imagined. I think if I had someone say that to me, I'd probably throat punch them before I could stop myself.
Luckily I work at home. Greatly reduces my exposure.It would most likely be from a 15 year old so as your lawyer, I would strongly advise against it.
Never heard that term. What does it mean?Some kid called me the plug today. I didn’t know people still said that. Should have stayed retired imo.

Crusty plugSome kid called me the plug today. I didn’t know people still said that. Should have stayed retired imo.
If you don't shut up, I'm gonna clap the back of your head.Are people just now complaining about clapping back?
It originated as slang for "gunfire"
Ja Rule clapped back at 50 Cent in song.

We went to Millersville to get away from guns clappin'
or a hybrid of this thread...

Clap back as morphed into people clapping as they yell. Which is so annoying. Anybody who does this should be shot in the back of the head immediately. You know. A clap back.Are people just now complaining about clapping back?

My daughters 2nd grade teacher used this 6 times in the intro email she sent to parents.McJose said:Here’s one that might just be exclusive to education.
Kiddos
For some reason over the last couple of years instead of saying “kids” or “children” educational professionals seem to like saying “kiddos”. “So if your kiddos need extra time to log in...” “We need to make sure the kiddos are lining up in order...”
Hey, Darrin? Just say “kids”. Not only are you not Australian you have a PhD in some sort of BS kid science ####. I mean I know it’s from University of Phoeni$ but just stop
God yes. I was just thinking about this after reading some drivel about the University of Texas locker room airconditionergate.<anything> gate
Tired of this. Especially its overuse in football.
It's kind of comforting I've moved into the "Get off my lawn" phase of life.This thread makes me wonder if I am out of touch or lucky as I have never heard of about 80% of these things. Perhaps a little bit of both I suppose.
Captain Cranks wins this thread with that post.So and so "wins Halloween" needs to go....now.
I've come to hate 99.99% of all announcers. Back when there were 3 channels, we had like 4 great announcers for all sports. Then ESPN came around and we got about 10 great announcers, but also 6 bad ones. Now, with all these channels and every game being televised, they could honestly pull a name out of a hat and have that fan from the stands do the announcing and it would be about the same. Maybe better. Have you ever put on ESPN3 during March Madness and watched a SWAC quarterfinal match up? Dear Lord, these people are downright awful. They make the "And boom goes the dynamite" guy look like Al Michaels.A fresh epidemic: announcers calling quarterbacks by their first names during game calls. "And now you see this strange decision by Baker . . . ." or "look at what happens during this rollout by Jameis." Just stop it already.
Maybe they just thing their kid is a #####. Did you ever think of that, a?People cheering for their kids using their first initial instead of their name. "C'mon B! You got this!
My friends and I have discussed this subject peripherally. We reached the conclusion that there are fans who listen to the announcers and fans who don't. I stopped listening to them back in the 80s (just about the time your ESPN example revved up) because it seemed like everything that could be said had already been said.I've come to hate 99.99% of all announcers.

Regards. All the best.Not necessarily a phrase or term, but I can't stand it when people sign off emails with "Best". Best what?
So you just watch games with no sound? Interesting. I hadn't thought of that. I'm not sure I could do that. Do you put the CC on? Because as much as I hate the announcers, there are times they give out vital information as to what's happening. So I feel like if I go with no sound, I lose some of that.My friends and I have discussed this subject peripherally.

It's in the pet peeves list, but I hate when people are so lazy that they put "Thanks," ahead of their signature. You're too lazy to type Thanks? And I especially love when they type "Thanks" and I get the double thanks.Regards. All the best.
This one is pretty innocuous to get worked up over.
Best,
Everybody.
Not worked up at all. It's just dumb.Regards. All the best.
