Whedon-isms
Buffy was a decade ago. If your model for speaking is drawn from a 10 year old TV programme then you are a mong.

You are full of mongly badness.
You are all mongy.
You're getting with the mong-age
You're a mongster.

(etc)

And yes, it is "your bad".

I believe
The Descendents brought the "-age" suffix into popular culture at least 15 years before it was used in the Buffyverse.

And people's mannerisms and vocabulary patterns are formed from everything that influences them, and sometimes that includes television programmes.

But then, there are phrases I use semi-regularly that I've glommed from a TV show that began airing a decade before I was born, so of course I'm going to defend this practice.
