I'm not sure enabling hipsters to sound like they're scripted by the writers of Juno is a good thing.


Sorry for the stalkwardness, but I guess my horrorlarity made everyone feel totally brewed.

Now could those who're downvoting me please tell me what about my feedback they found either inaccurate or irrelevant?

A site like this, if it becomes popular, will absolutely further the trend of everyone wanting to talk like they're a Zooey Deschanel character. Which may or may not be a good thing. Agree? Disagree?


Vicious with no constructive criticism.


Thanks. Viciousness wasn't my intent.

I'll rephrase it: the definitions on the site, or at least the few-dozen I looked at, seem like forced attempts at a particular strain of hip cleverness. Which is what one often sees when middle-aged writers try to script hip teenagers. And in a fairly horrifying social phenomenon, it's becoming self-reenforcing amongst the target demographic.


Eh, "chillax" dude. It's all in good fun, I don't think anyone is taking this as seriously as you.
