    You doin too much

    Love that for you

    Why?

    Also, you can’t stop language from changing. Change is certain. We don’t talk like people 100 years ago and that’s a good thing.

      Those are phrases that get repeated verbatim as responses, which is the hypothetical reason they might be included on this (maaaaybe fake?) list. I’m actually slightly tired of them too, I have a couple students that really overuse them as responses to everything.
      …Though I’d never be dumb enough to tell them that.

        Yeah, they forgot to put “on my soul” on the list, though the kids at my school are all illiterate, so they just parrot it as “oh my SO”.

        Every. Five. Seconds.

        The correct solution here is to just use these back at them at every opportunity. I feed on the cringe every time they say they didn’t do something and I get the privilege to respond, flatly and with enunciation: “Cap.”

      My guess is they are used sarcastically/ironically and whoever made the board is sick of hearing them.
