It's sick mate...
Discussion
Used to describe something good. When someone tells me it looks sick I assume whatever it is, is unwell. I hate the use of words like this to describe something. Like cretins who use "jokes" for funny. 'It'll be jokes'. Jokes are something told by people in an aim to illicit a laugh. The b
disation of language is rife, and the people doing this are the "future". Then there's "peng". fking hell, how fking dumb are people these days who are unable to use words correctly? Bunch of fking cretinous fking cretins. If I was in power anyone who used these words would be forced to spend a week with a drunk WelshBeef so that he could regale about the time he very nearly definitely did but didn't buy a Porsche 944 while possibly being drunk. Or not. But definitely something probably happened.
I expect to be ridiculed etc for this, and probably deserve to be. Have at it.

When making a drearily predictable old man moan about language changing it is best to make sure you don't mistake illicit for elicit. It may undermine your point.disation of language is rife, and the people doing this are the "future".

Too right - I always get stoked when some rad dude in meribubble does a gnarly shred down a line.Was in Andorra a couple of years ago when some casual shouted at my mates wife "Sick pants, lady!"
In fact these are said “sick pants”...

Good to know someone else shares my views.aponting389 said:
Nothing new though is it? No different to saying funky in the 70s, bad in the 80s, wicked in the 90s.
True, but in the 70's I wasn't born, in the 80's I was too sensible to use such terms as bad, and wicked in 90's is probably more acceptable. People are getting lazy with words and language.chow pan toon said:

Yes, yes, I realise I spelled elicit incorrectly, but my rant isn't about spelling, it is about substituting words with dumb replacements, something you seemed to have missed in your haste to report me to the spelling police (big man on campus).

'woke' seems to be doing the rounds too - what's all that about?
Some of the human organisms (can assume they’re people) in this video are probably “woke”...https://youtu.be/ryJteQTPBlU

You are aware that "cretin" had, at one point, a specific medical meaning, and has been adapted over time to mean a stupid/unpleasant person?1770–80; < French; Franco-Provençal creitin, crestin human being, literally, Christian (hence one who is human despite deformities)
How accurate that is, I do not know, but it would seem my use of the word is quite correct.

It wasn't just a mis-spelling, you literally substituted the word with a dumb replacement Yes, yes, I realise I spelled elicit incorrectly, but my rant isn't about spelling, it is about substituting words with dumb replacements, something you seemed to have missed in your haste to report me to the spelling police (big man on campus).
