I’m Like, So Totes With You There

From the Bad Science Forum thread ‘Things that really annoy even though you know they shouldn’t’ (71 pages and counting, there’s a lot of irritation out there):

lesmts:

There’s a girl behind me on the bus right now who is a member of that sub-species of twenty-something females who believe themselves to exist inside an episode of friends.

She’s talking loudly on the phone with plenty of forced enthusiasm and contrived amiability. She has that put-on slight transatlantic twang and is actually talking about how she and the cretin at the other end should “like, totally bond over coffee”.

I wish I had a masonry drill and a jar of concentrated carbolic acid.

Ooooh, I know.

If I read the word ‘totes’ as a synonym for ‘totally’ one more bloody time I’ll commit hara-kiri with my IV cannula.

Totes=
a] an up-itself word for the more prosaic ‘shopping bag’
or
b] the brand name of a range of mid-priced accessories.

I bet the Totes salesdroid department started this meme running as a marketing exercise, damn their eyes.
