[Neptune]

I'd move to dat

[wolf89]

give it one tho still, is she legal? hope so.

still fit as though

I most definitely would

really?? has she undergone a transformation? i'm gonna have to watch this video.

Ok, first, she only looks good in little bits of the video. Mostly not that great.

Second. Me saying I would is not really so much of a good measure as to whether someone is hot.

I mean that's like saying "That must be a good pork pie, John Prescott said he would eat it"

[wormcode]

Never heard of her, she looks like she came straight from 1982 in some of those pics, Pat Benatar look haha. Also has a Selena Gomez shrunken head syndrome going on. Gonna see how long I can avoid hearing this.


"Jagger" just makes me think of The Rolling Stones, but even Swagger Jacker sounds stupid.

just for the record, im from NY and almost nobody over here says stupid shit like swag, swagger. i dunno, slang isn't as universal as it once was. there's alot of west coast shit that doesn't translate well.


i've never understood the hyphy thing for example...

[wolf89]

Does anyone else have slang that's exclusive to their group of friends at all??

Me and my mates really seem to but no-one else so much

Yeah for sure, we can pretty much have a private conversation in public and no one would understand much. We used to use acronyms back in school as well, but not so much any more since it's become a bit too lame with SMS type things these days.

yeah... loads... there's been hundreds over the years... most of which are too embarrassing to say around people who dont know what you're on about...

newest batch is all about 'leisure', example if we go back to a place after a night, that place is the 'leisure centre', different places are judged on the amount of 'leisure' they have, somewhere might be more 'leisurely' than somewhere else, some places really lack 'leisure' you know what i mean??

gotta find the perfect amount of 'leisure'

then you get stupid with it, certain people have gold memberships for the leisure centre, full access to vending machines, locker keys, free towels... other people have their leisure passes revoked, mainly for being unleisurely

wow.

[.onelove.]

Remember when 'swag' used to mean waste or shit over here only a few years ago? Shows how powerful American media is as it's now pretty much the same as their interpretation of the word.

She was the only promising thing to roll through X Factor/BGT in years and she is getting rrrrrrrrrraped by the industry already. Waste.

what???? No....I.....WHAT???

Admittedly given how fucking awful X Factor is, that statement is hardly a seal of approval, but still. Her whole persona was a product of that industry, hideously merging of all popular trends to an disgustingly untalented mess;

-Mimics looks of Britain's heralded woman (Cheryl)
-'Raps' over trashy 'urban' mainstream beats (Lyrics jacked off various other artists)
-Sings in that warbely fake American accent like every other teen act
-Video/expressions akin to Rihanna/Nicki Minaj

Caked in make-up, continuously churning out "HATERS GON' HATE" which she perceives a valid response to criticism, and to seal it off backed by that sinister juggernaut Sony/Cowell.





and yes, I still would.

Might be because she was signed by Jay Z

[knell]

i thought the swagger term was universal? i didn't know its origin had been pinned down

i think swag is my least favorite word, even when people use it ironically
