Previously mentioned, but "adulting" is cringe worthy, most often said in the context "I'm done adulting for the day." Usage just proves you haven't reached adult maturity levels.
In fairness, that's the actual point behind using the word "adulting" - as a signal that you don't want to reach "adult maturity levels".

I dislike how like some people today, like use like in every sentence. Like I was at the Mall yesterday, and like Tiffany ran into her ex at the Food Court, and he was like "hey baby" and she was like "OMG, get away", and I was like so embarrassed, so we like went to Moxies instead.
Wow I totally like had a flashback to the 1980's. It was like totally tubular, but I saw like what people thought were bitchin fashions you know and I was totally like "Gag me with a spoon", like "I'm so sure"

Ah yes. Especially my wife, in fact she has been quite vocal on the subject of the Pretzel monies.

The @NHLFlames are the first team to feature four players each with 50+ points within their first 45 games of a season since the Penguins in 1995-96 (Ron Francis, Mario Lemieux, Jaromir Jagr, Tomas Sandstrom).
Maybe straying a little from the thread intent, but, when people are trying to spell "loser" and end up spelling it "looser". I don't understand how this is a thing and yet, seemingly, at least 50% of people do it.
On the flip side, for a wan's wife, no one ever refers them any more as 'the ol' battle axe'. I miss that, it made me laugh.
We should be friends then.
What gets me is when people ask me how many times I've been electrocuted. I haven't been electrocuted, if I had been we wouldn't be having this conversation. You only get electrocuted once.

I asked a girl at work if she had plans for the weekend. "Oh, just some adulting" I let it slide because I had no idea what she meant. Someone explained it to me later. I feel out of touch sometimes when talking to twenty somethings, and I'm only mid thirties.
I don't think I've ever heard "adulting" used that way, it's always sarcastic, ironic or dismissive. Then again my social circles are mostly around fourty.
I guess twenty somethings might actually believe adulting is something to strive for

I get quite a few emails that start with "just a quick update" and then go on for 300-500 more words after that. I think we need to find a new way to start emails.

Believe me, you're not missing out. There's always some doofus my age, usually girls, that make some comment about adulting, be it on facebook or in conversation.
"Wow, talking about tupperware and cooking? Serious adulting going on here."
"Just did my laundry and cleaned the house, so done with adulting today"
SHUT UP

On that note, when people call them "the Oil". Especially Flames fans. That's what Oilers fans affectionately refer to their own team as, why are we also calling them by the same pet name?
