As often as I staunchly support the "language is always changing" argument, I find myself wishing "fail" and "epic" would just disappear from the dictionary.

I support the sentiment, but /lit/ is not your blog.

When people say "epic fail" it makes me want to get up and leave.

Please, share with us how China's brutal subjugation of Tibet should be better understood.

Did I get into a timewarp to 1997? You're not American, are you?

I feel dirty whenever I'm using the word epic in the way it is intended to be used, despite it being a very useful word in that sense

I'd blame /b/ but it's really just an EPIC FAIL by the whole internet

the word pretentious is the one that bothers me. People never say why something is pretentious they just use the word to say something is bad.

You know, I've never thought about it that way before. I'll start acting on it next time.
