But that said, I do believe oversharing parents are a particularly bad breed — if you don’t mind the pun — of Facebook user. Sometimes it’s because the person has “changed” since having a baby; other times I think the person was probably annoying to begin with, but having a baby made their personality 1000 times worse. For me, overshare is the key. I DO want to see my friend’s new baby and hear about her kid’s first steps. I DON’T want to hear about how her baby was constipated so she used her pinky to get him to poop. There’s a huge disparity there” stfuparents:

“We are especially sick of abbreviations. You know what abbreviations are? LAZINESS. And laziness leads to forgetfulness, which leads to idiocy, and idiots are the only people who abbreviate words. It’s like a snake eating its own tail and then puking it up and eating the puke. Just learn how to spell “definitely.” It’s not that hard after the 20th time.
So, to be clear, here’s what’s out: whatevs, ’tevs, gnarls, defs, probs, stoops, totes. Adding “-wise,” “status,” “much?” or “in charge” to the ends of words. Calling things “tight.” Or “sick.” “Redonks” or “ridics.” Any variation of the word “delicious” and anything you ripped off from Epicly Later’d. We’re sad to say that “riffing” has to go too. Although let’s say something happens where a joke is passed on from friend to friend and you call it a “riffle effect”—that’s clever. Clever is good. We encourage creativity with language. Puns are still OK. Making up your own in-joke words with your friends is great—using other people’s is lame. “
