I think "sexytime" is juvenile and sort of gross.

I hate "Wow. Just wow." And "I feel sorry for your children." Also hate when someone discovers some slang that's 10+ years old because someone on DCUM uses it and proclaims it genius. "TWATWAFFLE, HILARIOUS! I'm using that one!"

Trashy or Klassy, the cousin words to Snarky

Usually used to describe the possessions or actions of a person who lives outside of North Arlington or NW DC, sends their kids to an in boundary public school, attended a non-Ivy/SLAC university, makes less than $250k, and eats packaged/fast/non-organic food.

"Larla" -- We get it. Your taste in children's names is far, far superior to everyone else's taste. You do not need to demonstrate it by referring to every other child by this name. You can stop using it. It's not funny. It's self-referential to a thread that wasn't funny in the first place.

That isn't why people use Larla -- it's a stand in for Jane Doe. Similarly, Aiden is John Doe.

"the poors" -- Bad grammer doesn't improve snotty, inaccurate references to a huge socio-economic class that is extremely diverse. You are demonstrating your ignorance, not your wit.

Psst: it's grammar.

snarky - OMG this word makes me want to vomit. It's cheesy. spare me. find a real word.

Sweetie, snarky is a real word: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/snarky

huh. It's not "the district"? That's what we call in in Bethesda. Or sometimes downtown. But there's also "downtown Bethesda" har har.
