Its a dumb topic but it really has been bothering me for a while. Anyway here it goes.

Whats with the word "ish." Like some people say "ish all good" when you can just say "it's all good." You are still using three letters so its not like your shortening it up for some other word you dont feel like typing out. Plus it sounds stupid. Is there really a need for this slang when it isn't needed, or is this some type of fad word so we can all feel really freakin cool. I dunno I am a white guy so I use "it's" not "ish." I guess I am too much into grammer, but its so stupid.

Imagine typing a research paper and replacing all the "it's" with "ish". Your teacher would shit a brick!!! Hell I would if I saw it. So yea I am done ranting and raving for today. I think I will make this a tradition from now on for the Losers Club. Once a week I am gonna rant and rave on whats gotten me hyped up. So yea...

yeah, thats annoying.

people type "cute"

ish dish good fo you??

really annoying. hard to read too.
BurkaBabe
that is really annoying cuz its hard to read.. HEY i know a guy named ish!
GinaDaQueen
No, actually, it'd be "it's".. not "its"... "its" is possessive. Example: This is its home.

So technically you have to put the apostrophe... but yeah, it's still annoying.

You can also use "ish" to replace the word "Shit" For example, "Thas some hot ish right thurr."

i use the word like "yo that the ish man" but it kinda old now so i don't use it and i think it can be a replacement for the word shit "yo that the shit man" i dunno this is what i think

ugh, that really is annoying, and how people try to type "cute" by writing lyke instead of like.

I've never seen people type "ish" but I don't pay much attention anyway, so that's ok. One thing I don't like or understand is alternating caps. It takes forever to type them, so why waste your time making something harder to read?

They’re oblivious of their ignorance.

have you noticed that alot of people go through a phase where they swear they will type gramatically correct from now on (i.e. on AIM for example) .. and then a few hours later its back to this 'ish' 'dat' 'lyke' nonsense. lol

lol, this is all an illusion. nothing is real but u. getting a lil into da matrix now, lolz. hey whytey. u kinda remind of the the white guy in undercover brother biggrin.gif laugh.gif lol u should watch it n e way heres something i have. no offence guys.
darkestdesire
wow never noticed it was that irritating after reading all those "ish"s in this post. It was used like almost 50 times or something. I wonder who came up with that in the first place...
pyoon
I always that "ish" meant "sh**". pooh.gif Because the media always blurred it out and by playing the word backwards it sounds like "ish". Whatever, I really don't give a ish.
Just_Dream
MAN I remember iw ent through that phase (6/7th grade) because of that whole "Azn Pride" crap that went around... lol well I mean I'm azn and all, but you know, we all went through that phase and I'm glad i'm out of it. LoL Then after Azn Pride it reverted back to the "gangsturr" stage... eek can't believe that's still going on >_<

Okay so back to the topic. Yes, Ish is annoying. I like how ppl use it for "sh*t" beucase it shoulds funny (in a cool way) for ppl to say "ISH" in place of sh*t..

Okay, to tell you guys the truth, I use ish in my writing at school. Like.. if you can't describe something right.. you know? Like.. its dorkish. I mean, its not dorky and its not not dorky.. its in the middle you know?

But I guess you're talking about that ish part.. I used to do that when I was new the the World Wide Web World. pinch.gif But yeah, it does get annoying when people type shortcuts for me..

That's one of my internet pet peeves. I try to bite my (online?) tongue whenever I see these "cute" ways of typing.. A little bit is okay, but when the person uses it for practically every word in the sentence, I just want to kick them. I wonder why they do that...
dat_da_busit_hai
lol, i always type lyke dat on AIM n shiat... n on essays n stuff i catch myself typin like i was on AIM pinch.gif
d1nonlyqty
i use it sometimes..
it juss kinda flows from my finger..

wuts da big deal neways..
u get the point across whether its ISH or ITS or wutever. haha.
mengster
haha i didn't read all the replies.. but i've never heard "ish" used for its.

in ebonics.... ish means sh*t

like "i'm the ish" or something
_confuzed_
well, cuz ish cute! heh.. happy.gif
juliar
i kno right if u say it its fine cuz its practically a reflex by now, at least for me. but online, whats the point? all that happens is ur typing goes S-L-O-W-L-Y mad.gif

ishh. ish.. ishh. can u picture saying that to ur grammar teacher?
Melissa
hEyA BabeZzz!! iSh all goOd iN hUrR...

...haha its hard to type like that.
ish ish ish ishity ish ish ish

yea i never understood that, neither.

...hope people don't talk like that... i think ima try that w/ my english teacher. "hello ma'am, ish is hot in hurrrrrrrr"

haha
aud_chua
hahaha...!! roflmao!!!
i thought i was the only one annoyed by that word...
i mean.. there's no sense in doing that.. it's not like people actually say "ish" in a normal conversation in front of a person..
those people are just trying to act "cute" but they're not!
bwahahahhahahaha...!!!
i just hate that word... ^^
rnicron
I know people that you 'ish' for the word shit, but I've never heard it used instead of it's. I usually only use it when I tell people a time to be somewhere, like 7:30ish.

Spencer please stop bumping old topics.

Ish helps me a lot. I mean, it's like; I want to eat that brownish cakeish thingy. Yeah. I mean chocolate muffin.
rnicron
Nope...

It's also logic to allow me to post in whatever topic I want, regardless of what my member title says.

True.

But as long as you don't spam and follow the rules, you're good to go.
Not spamming and following the rules...I think I'm good to go.

Filtering, are we? And thanks for not replying to my PM.
superstitious
I didn't know the "ish" thing was this old. Hehe.
rnicron
Filtering what?

As for a reply, I have nothing else to say. We agree to disagree and that's that.

Can we please stay on topic now? Thank you.

I've never heard that ever.

After reading the very first post, I have to say I've never seen someone use "ish" instead of it's...
