Hey! What are some fillers in other languages, also what are some "cliche" words. For example: a filler in english would be "ummmm..." or "aaa..." or something like that. a cliche word would be "like" or even a word like "cool". Ok, well i was just wondering, i dont really need this for a project or something, haha. Thanks!

In Irish -mar sin- meaning , so or therfore, is used alot like american "like" but its placed at the end of the sentence instead of the begining. at least i think.

Oh, man, that crap drives me up the wall.  I have no idea what the name of the language is, though, i just know that we call the people who use it all the time n00bs.  But that in and of itself is somewhat netspeak-y, so, eh.  What are you gonna do?

Shoo', lemme hit chu up with da coolbeenz infomation.\n\n- Cool kids make their sentences appear grammatically correct, or at least indicate they know how to use grammar by capitalizing the first letter of their sentence and ending it with a period.\n\n- Lol never really is acknowledged as the whole "laugh out loud" thing.. it's just indicating laughter in general. "Oh you're so funny. Lol." You can also say Lawl, Lollerskates, lool, kik. Don't ask why, people just assume those are kewl. Other forms of laughter can include "ROFL" Which is "rolling on the floor laughing" Or "LMAO" Which is "laughing my ass off". Could also always just say "Hehe" "haha". \n\n- Shortening words.. for example "Seriously" can either become "Srsly." Or "Serially." Again, don't ask why, people think it's kool.\n\n- Don't ask ASL anymore. ASL is so ghey. It means you're a horny bastard lookin' for some sorry cyb0rg seckz to give you more of a reason to touch yourself. Not cool. Just simply ask when you're curious.. "Oh, where do you live btw?" "And how old are you?" People tend to play it off as if those certain facts don't matter because they're not internet predators looking for cyb0rgz, but rather a nice conversation with whomever.\n\n- FTW. It's the newest acronym that I know of. I think it's pretty ghey, but other people like it. "For the win" is what it means. You usually say it after you've made a comment that defeats the previous comment relevant to topic. Say it's favorite cereal.. and someone says Froot loops.. you'd then proceed to say "Cinnamon Toast CRUNK, ftw." And thus.. you've pwned them.\n\n- Pwn is to "own" as in, defeat someone to silence.. usually when your witty remark has bested theirs. Pwning is something you should be proud of. How proud? As proud as someone could be for winning an intranet argument.\n\nThe rest is simply using the English language.. using too much internet lingo makes you look like a retard, so just stick to the above.\n\nOh.. don't forget the emotion icons.. or shall we say.. "Emoticons". =/, =), =D, =P, D=, and variations of eyes using colons ":" instead. Could also use more japanese-y ones ^-^ -_-; o_o ._. to name a few. Semi colons or apostrophes indicate some kind of sweat. Don't ask me why.\n\nTry not to get hooked onto emoticons though. I'm beginning to think they're lame although I can't stop using them.. and it sickens me to death.

The expression "get 'er done" completely irks me.\n\nOther than that, people who continually talk in cliches annoy me in general.\n\nOther pet peeves:\n"irregardless"\nconfusion of homophones "you're" and "your", "it's" and "its", "whether" and "weather", etc...\nconfusion of "literally" and "figuratively"\ndouble negatives\nusing an adjective where an adverb is needed ("You sure dance pretty"!)\ngangsta slang (e.g. "dat" instead of "that", "be" instead of "is", etc...)\n...and the list goes on!

What do you mean, what words have gone, that is disappeared, *from* English, or what words have come *into* English usage in the past 30 years.  If the latter, the words are legion: pick just about anything from the technology sphere:  "laptop", "palmtop", "INTERNET".\n\nAs for words that have disappeared, that is harder, because like the song says about "old fashioned love songs", there's "no need in bringing them back 'cause they're never really gone."  The only word that comes to mind right now is a word usage.  I don't think anybody says "gay" as a synonym for "happy" anymore, since the word has acquired a different meaning.  Also, few people use the word "cripple" as a noun describing a person anymore; it's not PC; we use "disabled" instead.

Yes they mean less in a foreign language.  My girlfriend and I speak different languages natively, so we alternate on whether we speak of love in her language or in my language.  That way we both get to say and hear the words that mean the most to us.

I have never heard of that word; I have no idea what it means, when to use it or what tense it's in.  I promise I will never use that word (whatever it means)!!\n-MM

Do you realize how completely annoying it is when people TyPe LiKe ThIs???  And words like beginnners, stockings, skirts answers all end in S, not Z!  Please, just because this is the internet doesn't mean we need to completely abandon basic grammar, spelling and formatting rules.\n\nThank you.

How about something that has writing in English on it.  Or are you so worried about fitting in with your little crowd that you forgot how to speak it?

There's lots of us out there who haven't caught on to the world of internet, email and chat room slang and abbreviations.  Just thought you might find this article interesting.  Abbreviations change so fast it's hard to keep up.  But this list might give you a chuckle or two.  WARNING: some of the abbreviations might be offensive.  Please don't hurt the messenger (me!)\n\nhttp://netforbeginners.about.com/cs/netiquette101/a/abbreviations.htm\n\nplrr

C. worn-out\n\nA cliche is not just something that lots of people say; It's something that lots of people say and it conveys some sort of idea or message. A cliche is, in other words, a metaphor characterized by its overuse.

They are actually called "phrasal verbs" and yes, they cause foreigners like me a lot of trouble. Think about it, you'd ve had a fight with your best friend, you want to make up but you forget and say that you want to make out. Not bad if they are a pretty girl, but what if they are a guy? Akward....:-) \n\nTo answer your question, I don't know, English is weird enough without it...

I am so glad someone else mentioned this!  I think it's terrible the way some people spell and the grammar they use. It just makes you wonder:  What did they learn in school?  Spell check works sometimes, but not for everything. A majority of the words that are misspelled are not difficult words, either - just ordinary, everyday words!
