Is it a word because of the ipod? Webcast or Netcast would be a better word in my opinion.
>>
>>8829326
Yeah, it's a portmanteau of the words 'ipod' and 'broadcast,' right? I think it's the corniness of that. Plus I work with several people who don't shut the fuck up about the podcasts they listen to, so that definitely adds to it.

At least you know people who listen to podcasts somewhat regularly, even though its pleb tier. Most of the people I know read only Harry Potter/John Green tier stuff and listen to no podcasts at all.

Lots of those meme words that get spammed by /r9k/ posters. Normie, cuck, chad, roastie, feels, tendies, reeing, etc.

Observing people use 'ignorant' incorrectly and ironically being ignorant of the fact of it makes my skin crawl and gives me a feeling of uneasy anger that is only possibly paralleled by the use of selfie sticks in public places.

What's so great about listening to podcasts? I have a friend who used to listen to podcasts about gadgets, smartphones and shit like that. I considered a pretty lame hobby for a person who buys a new phone every three years.
>But have you heard rumors about next iphone?
>>
temerity

it always sounds out of place. something like gall or audacity would always sound better, but temerity sounds more educated. for some reason is make me angry.

>awesome
I was thinking about this today, actually. "Awesome" and "awful" both have the same root word of awe and both used to be very powerful, strong words which you can still get a sense of when you occasionally see it pop up in, say, Shakespeare's works. "The awesome winds," "his awful majesty," etc.

Now "awesome!" is something your 6th grade teacher writes on your quiz next to the sticker she puts there, and awful is an effeminate and perhaps comical-sounding word used to describe food you don't like.
>>
>like
>I mean
>but seriously, though
>actually
Particles used to gain time deeply annoy me, but it's because I am very self-conscious about everything I say, which often makes me look down on improvised sentences. And transcribing them to written text makes me REEEE internally.
>>
>>8829363
>listen to no podcasts at all
gasp
>>
>>8830315
Because we live in a gray, dying world where nothing inspires awe, positive or negative, anymore

I can't stand american phrases and idioms:

>that's baloney!
>cold-turkey
>love me some [insert shit musician]
>nice spiel you got going on
>loving your whole shtick
>tomaydo tomahdo

I know two of those are Yiddish but that doesnt mean many other americans arent using them

Adding terrible bland insults:

>jerk-wad
>gaytard

At least British swears use harsh consonants to better convey

>>8831086

>>
>>8831097
That's how it works when idiots use it.
>>
>>8831116
thats an irrelevant qualifier
do you mean "hermaphroditic" when you say bad?
>>
>>8829198
I, too, have become annoyed by constant misuse of "awesome". But you have to admit that in some places, where it is actually used properly, it can be a powerful adjective.
>>
>>8831119
I don't mean it in the sense that the meaning of the word has shifted over time,I mean it as in the way that the misuse of the word invokes a repulsive sensation,causing you to disregard the actual correct usage of the word and the meaning in that context.That only happens when most slightly intelligible people already know the real meaning,and idiots discover the word and maim it,causing everyone else to associate the word with fools and forget the meaning of it.
>>
>>8831325
That's just the process of cultural connotations forming
>>
>>8831043
That's not was post-irony means. Post-irony is closer to a new earnestness. What that's talking about is the death throes of post-modernism.

The really popular podcasts are really mind numbing but some of the obscure ones are the most entertaining media out there. I don't go to them for intellectual discussion.
