when did it become ok for everyone to use the words "epic" and "fail?"

3,747 September 16, 2010 at 03:11 PM in Rant
i have been thinkin about this all day. farkin makes me mad when people who are not "techies" use "epic" and "fail" when they shouldn't.

i know this douche who said the other day, "i made this epic omelete." loser

whats even worse is when those same people say "that was an epic fail" for something completely unrelated to computers. are you farkin kidding me!? all of the sudden everyone starts using facebook and now they think they're techies that can throw around those words.

JUST BECAUSE YOU USE FACEBOOK DOESN'T GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO USE "epic" AND "fail" ALL THE TIME.

get a life gawd dang dweebs.

When did it become acceptable for people under 30 to use the phrase "get a life" or to call people dweebs?
Zing.............
