There are certain things people say that should be banned:

When saying that you haven't done or seen something in a while, don't say "a minute" instead. I will ask what happened sixty seconds ago and make you a fool.
When talking about where you live, you don't "stay at", you live at a place.
And being afraid of the word "moist" makes you sound like a toddler who doesn't want a bath.
One more, "amaze-balls" and "automagic" are not words and make you sound like a toddler who doesn't want a bath.

When talking about where you live, you don’t “stay at”, you live at a place.

Perhaps a social critique of our post-capitalist hellscape? We no longer "live" anywhere. We just stay places.

I'll tell you what, I've not been to the car wash in a min. Last time i couldn't get my back seat window all the way up and it made the back seat damp for days. Sucked too cause that's basically where i was staying at for the time. Amazeballs.

Word replacement is fine and dandy, just don't have a physical reaction to moist. I have seen people like that and made me lose respect for them.

Can you give me an example of the first two points? I haven't encountered that colloquialism yet. I've heard "a hot minute," which is clearly a just a figure of speech and would be absurd to ridicule, but it sounds like you're talking about something else. I just don't understand the second. I'm absolutely certain there's some slang being used in circles I don't frequent, so I'm not questioning you, I'm just curious. What's the hip new slang, dog?

I admit to using amaze-balls. So does my wife, sometimes. It's an amaze-balls term.

I haven't been to Taco Bell in a minute.
My wife and I stay at Street Rd.

The second one I get the closer I am to inner city areas. The first I have been hearing more in suburban areas and outside of the inner city regions that it originated.
