OUT: lol
IN: actually laughing out loud

OUT: WTF
IN: What the Hey!

OUT: the word, amazing

Recent examples where amazing was incorrectly used, (and in so doing, its power and meaning is reduced) include: Susan Boyle's new video, Juicy Couture perfume and this. Seriously, dude - amazing? Neat, nifty, cool, stupid, yeah, but amazing?

OUT: Ballin'
IN: Huggin'

OUT: Celebrity "news"
IN: Actual and real engagement with our communities, the people within them and the issues that affect them (jk!)

OUT: Top 10 lists
IN: Oddly numbered lists (7 will be especially popular)

OUT: Tweets
IN: Little messages written on paper and left under rocks in the park.

Don't Mind Me - I'm Just Krumping.

I wish there would be some occasion in my life to say to someone else, "Don't mind, me, I'm just krumping."

Sadly, I don't think I'll ever get to say it.

In other krumping news, I think it should be spelled "crumping".
