Slang SurveyWhat new bit of language are you hearing at the moment? We want to hear words and phrases, with definitions and where it's being used. We're interested in marketing speak, stuff from kids in playgrounds etc.

My friends and Ihave begun using various b3tan terms (mostly my fault), but we've also begun hearing certain groups of teen girls actually say L.O.L./Lawl, J.K., and various other idiotic IM terms and abbreviations in actual real-life conversation.
Another thing that has an adverse affect on my nerves comes from these same groups of airheaded girls- the phrase "Just Kidding," which they use every time you point out that whatever they just said was wrong or just plain stupid. They're never actually kidding, either. There isn't enough intelligence among the lot of them to comprehend sarcasm, so I sincerely doubt that they are ever telling the truth when they say that.
It's disturbing that blatant lies have become common enough to be consiedered slang.
...erm, sorry about the bitter, folks.
