Sayings That Should Go Away – Y.O.L.O

Say Yolo

  1. i can’t stand the phrase ” to each his own” omg i SWEAR that is the most overused phrase on black blogs EVER! especially when a blog post is ASKING YOUR OPINION and every single commenter writes “to each his own”. they didn’t ask that, they asked YOUR opinion.. so either type your opinion or don’t type at all

    i also think people go crazy with calling people “judgmental” or say that they are ” on a high horse” , talk about throwing stones, or say “judge not lest ye be judged”. it typically goes like this
    girl #1 :”i’m going to have sex with those 5 men over there with no condom”
    girl#2 “that’s not very smart to do. you can catch diseases like that or get pregnant”
    girl#1″ wow you need to get off your high horse and stop judging other people”
    girl#2 o_0

    • What in the Hell is a “Stan”? I keep hearing/reading it and I have no clue from whence it came. I have gathered it’s a fan of some sort but why are they called “stans” all of the sudden.

      I also hate the use of “This”
      as in
      Commenter 1 “I’ma do me you do you”
      Commenter/tweeter 2 < THIS!

      I don't get it.

      • Yes, I agree. I, too hate the use of “This”.

        Another word that has been turned into slang, but does not relate to its original meaning is “co-sign”.

      • @I’mjustsaying

        The “stan” thing comes from an old Eminem song. The song is titled “Stan” It’s about a crazy over-zealous fan. So now people refer to crazy fans as being “stans”. An example would be Beyonce fans, many of them are “stans”.

      • It wouldn’t let me reply to you so I had to reply to myself to say thanks.
        @Patience I will admit I am guilty of co-signing many a comment or tweet.
        @ Val The moment I read yours I went “Oooh Yeah! I forgot about that song.”
        @Candyredxxx Also makes so much more sense.

  3. I find it funny when descendants of African slaves say:
    -”People of color” when they actually mean “Black”, and somehow don’t like it when some people say “Colored people”
    -Referring to Barack Obama as the first Black President, when the man’s both Kenyan(African/Black) and white American
