I was setting on the toilet early this morning, doing my business. And i was thinking to my self. There aren't enough words in the world that are actual words. And i want to know what words you guys think should become official words.
I think the best one i have is craptastic, The meaning could be something like this, Please comment if the meaning of this word should be changed.
Craptastic:adj- Can be used to describe something that is worse than bad. As in, This meal is craptastic, Or Used as an insult, as in, You hair looks craptastic.
What do you guys think? Maybe there are more words out there that should become apart of Websters.
I think we have enough words. I fething hate all these new trendy modern buzz words..

We are arming Syrian rebels who support ISIS, who is fighting Iran, who is fighting Iraq who we also support against ISIS, while fighting Kurds who we support while they are fighting Syrian rebels.
Just because the americans use english doesn't mean we are the ones who screwed it up. The brits have just as many words that where created that don't make any sense. We make words to save time and to give new meanings.
I have only heard one of the words you listed and that is cyber bullying. And we have a state trying to out law trolling on forums... So who'd of thunk it. I place the bad english on those brits. In the words of Stewie Griffon, "It sounds like you chewed it up and spat it out, If you are going to speak the language you might as well speak it right."

There is no way of blaming anyone really, because they only become popular when they are in common use, therefore sharing the blame.. but seriously, I always heard "new" ones when I was living in CA.
It would always be a TV commercial or something, with some middle aged woman on who speaks too loudly and uses her hands to gesture far too often going
"OK YEAH! THE NEW WORD THAT'S A BUZZ ON THE INTERNET IS STAYCATION, SO WHERE ARE YOU GOING ON YOU STAYCATION!!? WOOT!"
Granted the British have loads of ridiculous slang, but they seem more old fashioned to me, and thus more acceptable.
I suppose my views are prejudiced because I'm a proper auld fashioned bloke.

NO Bad brit. You are counting CA as part of America, can't wait for that damn state to break off into the ocean. All the worlds problems come from that state. The media has to make up new words to stay fresh. Because its the same old news stories time and time again. There aren't any new things happening and yet the news is on 12 times a day telling us everything we have already heard before. Does it matter if some one some where killed some one for reason that i don't know? No it doesn't matter, but we have to see it 13 times a day.
But American slang is the worlds worse, We just add words to the dictionary because we can read it. If there wasn't an english dictionary we would never open it and never want to add words to it. Just the type of people we are. If it ain't broke, Fix it till it breaks. Welcome to America. damn hippies.

You aint the only person who hates those words.. maybe its something to do with being in the military that does it... There are some words that I'll use in talking with someone in an informal setting which I bloody hate seeing being used on actual, national television. Some of these are like, Ginormous (a combination of enormous and gigantic... basically means its fething huge).
Though, I do have to say that with all the fake words that are becoming "recognized" as real... its about damn time Ain't makes it as a word!! I shouldn't have to spell out what it means, basically every American knows what Ain't means.
Nah'Mean... For those of you who haven't been able to hear this word the 50 times in the same sentence.
Nah'Mean, Do you know what i mean. Used to confirm If some one knows what you mean. Can be used as a comma in most inner city schools.
Hey nah'mean what you doing tonight. nah'mean. I am going to bounce nah'mean.
And I hope we change the meaning or date rape, The name doesn't fit the action, I don't know what we can change it to so its not so misleading. Date rape doesn't sound like you are on a date and force yourself on another person. Sounds more like a really organized rapist.

A British translation of this would be Nah'WAH'ahmeen said as one word and often suffixed with bruv.

I'm pretty sure 'ain't' made it to the dictionary years ago-it's a legitimate word. And for Matty's list, I haven't heard of most of them, but 'cyberbullying' was one of our teaching buzzwords-it makes perfect sense to me, and is a decent word, but the others looked like absolute trash and anyone who uses them needs to be on the future 'neutered-list'. This list is exactly what it sounds like.
Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.

Reminds me of something a comedian said on the matter.
Hal: They just had a news report that the ‘date rape drug is on the rise again’…
*audience member claps*
Hal: “What, yay for date rape? who claps…?…… I’m about to ruin your night.
"If you're on a date, and the girl is knocked out, once the raping starts, date's over! I mean, if I go out on a date and knock them out with this microphone stand, is it a date rape microphone stand? No! It's a club!"
