SICK of the saying old school!

[greenpigs]

  Please people try and think of some other way of saying how it was back when you were young. Plus if your 21 or so old school means mid 90's to me and that isn't "old school". If you are talking about a specific era just say it.

Example of overused saying of old school: That Charger with the Cragers is old school.

Example of same saying used by a non-bonehead: That Charger with the Cragers is like the one I had back in the 80's.

Flame away or add to it.

I associate the saying with homie G-funk ghetto thugs. I cringe when I hear it. Can you feel me dawg? 

[Ponch ®]

  Can you feel me dawg? 

THAT saying is old school.

   Sorry, I'm a little behind on my urban culture. At least I didn't say..Can you dig it?

I like the "Old School" saying myself. What saying I HATE is "sick" as when someone uses the word as something is cool    Sick has and as far as I'm concerned, will always mean "a cold", or "gross".

[bull]

Old school is an old school saying. I'm just happy the word phat went away. I wish sick would go away too.

And what the hell is, "crunk"

"Back when a hoe was a hoe
Coke was a coke
And crack's what you were doing
When you were cracking jokes
Back when a screw was a screw
The wind was all that blew
And when you said I'm down with that
Well it meant you had the flu
I miss back when"
- excerpt of lyrics from "Back When" by Tim McGraw

And gay meant happy.

The term "old school" reminds me of the episode of the Simpsons with NSync on it. That's all one of the characters said. So when I hear the term I associate it with a cartoon boy band member.
Nothing wrong with specifying the timeframe is from "That's the look of the late 60s." /early 70s/late 70s-etc. Or be thought of as a cartoon boy band ex-member.

Dat is whack.

whatever that means....

i couldnt agree more,but most people are un original bastards that cant think of new stuff on their own!

Sorry I don't understand Blackanese.And I don't like the words from era of Flower Power ( I was a little too young then).I guess I am one of the few who still speak English. 

[Charger_Fan]

What saying I HATE is "sick" as when someone uses the word as something is cool    

Me too.
There's a couple youngsters at work who say that often...and whenever I have the chance, I reply with "you think it sucks?" They say "no, it's cool!" (like I'm an idiot), so I say "well say COOL then, dipshit!"
I can't wait for "tight" to go away too.

As far as "Old school", I don't mind it, but I probably don't percieve the phrase the same way as others do. I guess things like that affect individuals differently, depending on how & where it's most often used. I feel I'm fairly old school...i.e. I'm stuck in the 80's, for the most part.

[TruckDriver]

Not that, that is a bad thing. Least people in general weren't so dam pissed off about everything in the world.

You know we have some members on this board who are African-American and I can guarantee you that they do not talk like that.  I do not like those type of generalizations.  I would of did this in a PM, but I think we ALL need to unlearn what we think we can get away with.  And no, I am not overreacting.

I couldn't agree more.  My theory is that someone tried to say "man, that's sLick!" but they were too dumb to add the L.  (The Discovery Channel changed American Chopper ads from "the slickest bikes around" to "the sickest bikes around.")  Now, some people have adapted it a bit and say "Man, that's ILL!"  I'm just waiting for the next adjustment, "Man, that is diseased!" "Man, that has an ailment!"  "Man, that's unhealthy!"  "Man, put some ointment on that!"

I'll stop saying it, as soon as you're someone I consider important in the world (or even this board). 

[Khyron]

sorry, I like the phrase and will most likely continue to use it when describing "slot rims" or other old styling

You must hate Orange county choppers and many other bike and car shows that continue to use it as well.

I'll second this. There was a topic that went south a couple of years ago when some "poking fun" at terms became racial. Intentional or not, things were typed that offended a member who seemed to have disappeared. The user name was "Gold-Something" (don't recall the whole name).

OLD SCHOOL does not bother me at all.

I'm old enough to say "old school".   

[greenpigs]

Noob..your loosing it old man, I was on the old site awhile back and was around member # 2400 out of a ending total of 10K+

[Orange_Crush]

I love topics like this because it exposes those who can barely contain their racism.

As far as "old school" goes...slang changes from generation to generation.  Back in the twenties people were calling liquor "hooch" and saying things like "the bees knees" and and calling a girl's legs "gams."

In the eighties, I was saying things like "gnarly."  and "dude" (which I still say...and has remained constant as a slang term since the forties).

And "Old School" is a great term because its meaning changes constantly.  Its one of those terms no one can define with any precision but, when you say it, everyone knows what you mean.

WHERE ALL THE WHITE WOMEN AT?

That would be a line said by Clevon Little's character in the movie "Blazing Saddles."  Considered to be one of the best movie lines of all time.

That I know, it was the second DVD I bought.

Blazzing Saddles insulted EVERYONE, I just loved it!

First DVD I bought was Big Trouble in Little China.

I had to keep from chuckling when my boss was explaining something to me one day and he said "now, i dont know if your hip to that" but blah blah blah....

and the other one i get all the time from the baby boomers is "jive".  i hear that at least once a week.  "now do those numbers jive or not" blah blah blah....

and i guess everything was a "gas" back in the late 70's.  i dont remember the 70's because i was just a shot in the sheets.  (until 1975 ))

[greenpigs]

Well I see more than a few people here increased the use of ol* sc*ool in their posts, I never thought so many people would jump at the chance to annoy me.


I must be loved

Increase of saying Old School up 27% since last posting.

[dkn1997]

 

Example of same saying used by a non-bonehead:

We will stop saying "old school" when you stop saying "bonehead"

and you don't have to be a some wasted punk kid to use the word "dude"  I'm 36 and still find myself using it from time to time.  my 80's habits die hard.

I was at work one day and one of my associates said I was "Pimp".  Pissed me off!  Evidently he was complimenting me.

Now I can dig it if someone wants to complement my on my threads, I can hang! 

But be cool with the words and stay hip with the jive talk.

[chrisII]

for Xmas this year i got a Tshirt that says "old school" with a picture of a bigwheel..  I love it! 
        I have no problem with the saying, only when idiots use it improperly. as i understand it "old school " is a term meant to be equal to "traditional"  for example an "old school" hot rod would be a 32 roadster with a flathead and no fancy schiznet. i guesss you would say  that something like the yellow coupe in "american grifiti" would be old school.  "old school" would deffinately be non computerized, non CD player  ect....classic or traditional interchange.

   NOW The phrase i HATE is "off tha hook" !!!!!!!  what the fawk! to me that phrase only applys to fishing or towing a car on a wrecker.. in either case its a bad thing!!

[Brock Samson]

means the phone was off the hook... i belive it means conventional logic dosen't apply.. 

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=off+the+hook&r=f

[chrisII]

whens the last time anyone used a phone with a "hook" phones with a hook would be old school then right? still overly used and anoying
