Swag, 'cuz YOLO. Problem or not?

[bigrigdave 22]

I've recently noticed that many people on teh internets, especially on this forum, are against some words that, perhaps, are overused. My question to you:

 

"Do you dislike these terms?"

 

and

 

"Are these terms overused?"

 

I am personally a user of these words and I think they deliver an important message. Sorry, haters

[Galex Dj 173]

I don't mind if people say these words at all, but if they use it in every single sentence that they say, it can get annoying sometimes. But generally I don't mind the words at all or people saying it.

[Lightning Fluttershy 1,844]

As anti joke chicken would say,

 

I sometimes use swag but I hate when people use YOLO. The only time I ever use that is when "you obviously love Oreos" needs to be said.

[Retro*Derpy 3,181]

"You haz a problem with mah SWAG BRO? YOLO!!!"

I do not dislike the terms, but more along the lines don't like how people use them. They are greatly overused today, but I just gone to ignoring them overall.

[Rockabilly Wingtips 57]

these terms have got to be the most abused slang in this day in age. back in the fifties we said thigs "daddy-o" or "cool cat" frankly these word sound down right annoying

[~Asuka <3~ 867]

They are the most annoying words on the planet, but a blast to use to parody. I can't take those obsessed with these words though, even though I say them a lot in jest.

[Vaporeon 1,168]

I didn't know Octavia was so popular I mean she is like, one of the best background ponies but I thought Derpy was the most popular. Also whats all this about TM87? I didn't know Swagger was such a useful move. Eh maybe it's good in competitive battling.

Hmm.

 

I like to take YOLO as a life lesson.

If you want something out there, and it's bothering you, go and get it. Because truly, you only live once. This is your only chance.

 

Eh, that's just my opinion.

Well I don't find neither of them something I find perticularly annoying or dislike it, (I'll admit I've used the terms once or twice here and there.) but I do agree they are overused.

[Zeruis 53]

I've taken a liking to the word "swag" and tend to use it occasionally. However, I don't tolerate YOLO. It just annoys me to no end. Both of the words are overused, though.

[XrosOver 613]

I am being completely serious when I say this, I thought swag meant secretly we are gay. Turns out you hear the "other" definition of it when exposed to the wrong kind of people. Even though Y.O.L.O. has a good message, it is overused as a response for everything.

[Spartan 433]

Remember kiddies, Swag wont pay the bills later.. and i DONT like cheese on my burger, also.. if you believe in Yolo, jump off a high bridge and than come talk to me.. if you survive

[Betez 1,734]

Both of them are equally annoying and stupid. Whenever people say swag, I just want to punch them in the face. It's such an annoying word, and it makes you sound like a douchebag when you say it. I feel the same way about YOLO.

[SrFrog 927]

Yes, they've both been overused by people who don't even know what those words mean. So goes pop culture, every once in a while kids will star spewing the next dumb catchphrase. Remember the 80's? Tubular!

[Sks_Burns 730]

YOLO is an excuse to take no responsibility for ones own actions. its basically a "get out of jail free card" for the irresponsible.

 

ive been over swag a few times already, so i choose not to get into it a second time. stay classy

YOLO has been taken to the furtherest extremes. I've seen it used to justify some really stupid stuff.

 

"I'm gonna have sex without a condom 'cause YOLO!"

 

"I'm going to shirk all my responsabilities and do only what I want! YOLO!"

 

"I'm gonna leave this chick I just knocked up because I wanna party! YOLO!

 

"I'm gonna try hard core drugs 'cause YOLO!!"

 

It basically became an excuse for every stupid thing someone wanted to do: YOLO /facepalm

[Z Star 189]

Personally, words are words. Nobody should let words bother them so much! If you wanna say YOLO or Swag, then go ahead, it's not gonna change me. Also, every popular word is overused to some extent. The word "like" is used in a LOT of sentences as a filler word when one is trying to collect their thoughts. Same with "uhhh and "ummm" haha. So I say, take advantage of your first given right to say what you please!

 

Also, I feel that, although people use YOLO as an excuse of sorts to do stupid stuff, they would be doing those stupid things regardless of whether that "word" existed or not. It just seems more prominent now. Haha. Let them mess up. See where that gets them. Run your own life.

Annoying memes are annoying memes, they are popular and people will overuse them no matter what, so I really just don't care.

As anti joke chicken would say,

Hm, well I do love Oreos...

I didn't know Octavia was so popular I mean she is like, one of the best background ponies but I thought Derpy was the most popular. Also whats all this about TM87? I didn't know Swagger was such a useful move. Eh maybe it's good in competitive battling.

 

It's hard not to love Octavia! And Swagger is pretty luck-based, those kinds of moves are usually pretty looked down upon in competitive Pokemon battling.

[One 498]

Psh, you jelly of mah DOUBLE hash-tag SWAG!

P.S. #YOLO

 

Yeah, they are overused and highly annoying. I just try to ignore it... The best I can.

Well, we don't have a problem. Despite everyone calling them "popular" words, it's quite the contrary. I asked all my mates at school and they got pissed for me even mentioning it   Plus, every forum I go on pretty much have the same opinion.

 

It seems more like an obscure word few people use.

[Shankveld 4,949]

There are so many things in the world that are worth getting upset about;

people saying 'yolo' and 'swag' just don't make my list.

And since I don't hang out with the 'swag fags' I don't see these terms get used a lot, so it doesn't bug me.

I use swag as a joke, and only on rare occasions.  I do find these words annoying, because people (Especially at my school) overuse the sayings.  Honestly most internet memes annoy me.

I have no idea what Yolo means. But I do think that swag has been overused.

 

Edit:

 

And a quick search of google tells me it means 'you only live once'... I think I'll stick with Carpe Diem.

Am I the only one who thinks of people referring to themselves as pirates when they use the word "swag"? It makes them look ridiculous... at least, the image it conjures up in my mind is pretty hilarious.
