Does anyone else cringe when they hear this word?
I've recently been looking at some posters and flyer's, some by Ceroc, some not... Some not even modern jive, but I notice a lot of company's use this word to promote their dance as "young and hip"...
"It's fun, it's trendy"
It sounds so old and sounds so "I'm 50+ and want to communicate with teenagers on their level.."
Anyone else? Or am I on my own on this?
No man I say ask their generation
Our generation has passed their time has come
Jamie whats hip with the youth today ??
ps "friendly" means your pervert in my book
"Sociable" means your a drunk
"Fun" means spaced out and annoying or degrading ie Children this will be 'fun'
"Energetic" on speed
What's "hip" () is telling things like it is... "Yeah man, it's hip and trendy" don't do it for me, but if someone to put something like "A relaxed and friendly place to meet new people and have a dance with your mates.. Great fun and it's only *pound sign*7"
That would sell something to me.
I cringe too. But "trend" does have a specific meaning, and Ceroc can accurately be described as a trend. In advertising I like the idea of inventing new words for new things. If Ceroc is described as "funtabulous" or "trendelish" it sounds like something good and new, and nobody can argue it is not, because the words have no definition.
Now that I have a young man in my life i'm 'courting' how's that sound
I use the word Fab its coz I can spell it without checking with spell check
I have to substitute words all the time, spell check doesn't pick them up up
I don't like the word 'Dude' or 'Numpty'
I like the word trendy but used out of context it does sound a bit naff.
I like trendy clubs and pubs but I don't think Ceroc is "Trendy" and saying so doesn't work for me either.
Ceroc can be a lot of things, flirty, full on fun, glamorous etc...
If I was trying to sell the idea of Ceroc to my mates I would bait them with a line like:-
Ceroc, more fun than you can handle?
It was nearly more than I could handle at the last party night I attended when a frisky woman 15 years my senior started squeezing my arm and telling me "what lovely muscles you have"… Dancer exits at speed via fire door without opening it first
I don't think there is any response other than to cringe when Trendy is used in any other way than ironically with a heavily sarcastic tone of voice
I don't mind fab
Well numpty is not exactly a term of endearment and it's a lot politer than some expressions up here, though I do quite like one of the alternatives:rocket
One word I used to have problems with is Honey. Not because I didn't like the word but because I had a dog called Honey, so it felt a bit strange calling folk by the same name as my dog

Yep 'sick' does mean, really good although i don't use slang much like the youth today except i do say 'dude' LOL.
There was a site that my mate showed me months ago that had London slang and 'sick' and others were mentioned and the translation. I just can't remember the site
