Being "professionally offended", often about about the most banal and inane of things that usually have fk all to do with you.
Usually enacted by spoilt, middle-class social justice warriors who are such little snowflakes that they can't stand anyone challenging their narrow, politically correct world view and then get all angsty and violent when this happens.Oh the irony.

Why so angry?

That could be me your talking about but my dad was a coal miner.

Violient? Wrong side.

Not angry at all, just more fed up with people being offended about everything all the time.And if you're trying to make a sly dig about Orgreave, then FYI, I think both sides were as bad as one another.

Not trying to have a sly dig about Orgreave at all.

..can these 'mannequin challenges' go on here yet?

Seeing them everywhere, probably a passing fad but certainly seems to be 'a thing' right now.. some of them are quite well done though..

I'm fortunate in that I've only seen the amazing ones. I can imagine poorly done ones looking terrible and being the majority.

I think I will add Snapchat to this. I never saw the point of it but have persevered, to be rewarded by seeing lots of friends and aquaintences wearing dog faces. Seeing perfectly sensible people I know whip out their phone to play with a filter...not a fan but I doubt snapchat will care.

And they're about to float on the NYSE I believe. Some moolah to be made there for them.

I've not quite got it yet either. No one has sent me nudes yet and I thought that was the point of it?

They are huge in the US. Getting a big presence, and outside of Nike / Adidas i would think they are more popular then Puma, Reebok etc.

Its expensive though. Defiantly not a fad.

I don't own any, but I'm impressed by their spread into what must be an already saturated market. They started in what, 1996 with some t-shirts?

My "thing" is what younger people are doing: some sort of dance move where you swing and point your arms up across your eyes. Called "dabbing" or something. My little dhead of a nephew kept doing it at the dinner table when we were out a couple of weeks ago and knocked three drinks everywhere.

People reffering to their family as a team

Communities, newsreaders and reporters are never happier than when creaming themselves over "communities" and how close knit they are .

Food, quite often some pulled st is no offered with a side order of "Mac & Cheese". Often the ampersand gets replaced with a N'.

What's wrong with calling it macaroni cheese?

A surgeon friend of mine wears a badge on his daily rounds that says something like - "I'm empowered by education & knowledge, not likes and shares."

By God, the word "Empowered". You are not "Empowered" with anything, you have an education and knowledge.
