Ghost Hunters has to be the most genuine show EVER....

[Altre]

Ghost Hunters has plenty of humorous commercials. I mean, isn't it supposed to be a comedy?
My favorite commercial: "Robin Hood, are you there?"
I want Carey Elwes to jump out and say, "You called?"

[AuraTwilight]

Do you have any idea what the hell the word "legit" means?

Do you have any idea what slang is? I'm going to let you google the word and then chill out. I'm not up for it today.

Anyways, regardless of what I say, you're going to try and school me somehow, so enlighten me great one.

Asking to be inlightened by AT is like asking for death (Hmmm....sorry couldn't think of anything catchy)

I have never heard of the show. What is it about exactly? You kinda make it sound like Robot chicken.

Yeah, yeah.

It's a ridiculous show where they "hunt" ghosts. I don't know what they do after they find them, but it's supposed to be a reality ghost series where they catch ghosts and let the world see they exist on film.

The irony of calling it a legitimate show is it's so obviously not. There have been many shows that parody it in some way, one of the more notable shows being South Park. In the parody, they have the two hosts freak out at every little thing they see and hear. One of the guys pisses his pants and starts acting like its some paranormal phenomenon, then the other guy pisses himself and does the same. Youtube probably has a clip of it.

The part that I mentioned was about a recent episode of Ghost Hunters where in the commercial, it's revealed that they're hunting the ghost of Robin Hood. The guy starts asking if Robin Hood is in the room. Problem is, from what I've read about Robin, he's just a character used in folklore with over-exaggerated qualities about himself.

[shugo_lover]

Well thats Fascinating. I wasn't aware that Robin Hoof existed XD Sounds really stupid. Like when I was reading the Amittyville horror how the preust pucked and there all like "Omg it was the spirits!"

Lol, that's exactly what the show is like. What's worse is now they're doing a "recruitment" season. So they're getting younger people that might actually have faith in the series to be on the show (that or they're just actors, it'd make sense), only to be paid to not post online somewhere, "We did a great job on the sound effects today, I almost thought there really was a ghost!"

After reading this I'm pretty sure he at least doesn't know how to use the word.

As I said, enlighten me. Many people on these boards like to say what others can't do, prove you're right. Otherwise don't say anything. I'm starting to think one of you just might be trolling my posts.

Legit
slang: Legitimate

Legitimate
Adjective:
1. Being in compliance with the law; lawful: a legitimate business.
2. Being in accordance with established or accepted patterns and standards: legitimate advertising practices.
3. Based on logical reasoning; reasonable: a legitimate solution to the problem.
4. Authentic; genuine: a legitimate complaint.
5. Born of legally married parents: legitimate issue.
6. Of, relating to, or ruling by hereditary right: a legitimate monarch.
7. Of or relating to drama of high professional quality that excludes burlesque, vaudeville, and some forms of musical comedy: the legitimate theater.

The irony of calling it a legitimate show is it's so obviously not.

I don't know what kind of "slang" meaning the word legitimate is supposed to have, but using language sarcastically doesn't qualify as "slang" so I will provide for you the definition of slang as well.

Slang
Noun:
1. Very informal usage in vocabulary and idiom that is characteristically more metaphorical, playful, elliptical, vivid, and ephemeral than ordinary language.
2. Speech and writing characterized by the use of vulgar and socially taboo vocabulary and idiomatic expressions.
3. The jargon of a particular class, profession, etc.
4. The special vocabulary of thieves, vagabonds, etc.; argot.

If you were trying to be sarcastic then let me give you some knowledge: Using words inappropriately doesn't make what you're saying sarcasm and neither is calling it "slang" when people call you out on your terrible choice of words. Also, when you have to explain your own sarcasm, you're doing it wrong.

[AuraTwilight]

To sum up, you can't call something "legit" if it is not infact "legit." Calling your misuse of a word "slang" does not excuse you, because no one uses slang in that sort of context. When I hear people saying "Yo, that's so legit, man," they always means that whatever they're complimenting is "keeping it real."

By your own admittance, Ghost Hunters is not keeping it real, dawg. So get yo' poser ass the fizzle out of my nizzle and don't forget to be ballin' on the way out, holmes. Peace.

You almost got it rite AT. A little too formal for slang talk though. Add in the "n word" (without the r at the end so its not rascist) a bunch of times along with F@#$ and your all set.

And for the record Ghost HUnters blows, along with every other show like that.

I loled through all of this. That's the exact same page that I read, Op. So you claim that I frantically rushed for a word to use? Got proof? Wait, can you read my mind!? No. Ha, I guess you can't. I guess you just need to feed your ego. See the bold, underlined text? There's the point. Stop trying to argue against a point that I've made clear with your help.

Also, AT, nothing personal, but you misconstrue that which can't simply be found in a textbook. I've lived in many different places over my years, not once have I ever heard anyone say something in such a manner. If that little bit at the end of your post was meant to be offensive, you failed.

Just to be clear, I'm Caucasian, don't listen to rap, and rarely ever have the joy of performing the idiocy that I see everywhere. People always tell me to "chill", this is an example of what happens when I use "laxed" speech.

So, will you criticize Enigma for this:

You almost got it rite AT.

I won't. But according to the combined intellects of AT and Op, if it's not perfect, it's intolerable.

If ya'll push this further, I'll consider it trolling. Neither of you mean for anything positive to come of this, as can usually be expected of AT, so by definition, you're trolling.

The thing is, your usage of the word "legit" didn't match any of that. U MAD?

****, I bet your ass has never left your home country. I've literally been all over the world and speak more languages I do, so shut your ass up. You don't have what it takes to be condescending in a legitimate (look, I'm using it properly!!!) context.

You think there's something "black" about rap slang? Racist.

I won't. But according to the combined intellects of AT and Op, if it's not perfect, it's intolerable.

What's the "definition" of trolling? We're simply arguing a point. We're not trying to get a hateful emotional response out of you or rile you up. Infact, we wouldn't even be arguing if you didn't respond with butthurt commentary. Trolls are proactive, not reactive.

[Kuukai]

Wtf? Just because he can't explain sarcasm doesn't mean he used it wrong. I understood going in what this topic was about. Stop with the trolling and get back on topic.

[Altre]

Still loling. I guess you can't understand what the word means with the text right there. Should I make a video of my laughter? I'm really not trying to be condescending. You've got this inferiority complex and you won't seem to cope with the fact that I'm right. It seems that you like people to fear you, but I've come to realize that you're nothing more than an account on a site that I frequent.

It's good to know that you have been out and about. It's sad that you're not a people person (not online at least). I'd be cool to know that you have people to hang out with that you don't harass constantly about little details.

Infact, we wouldn't even be arguing if you didn't respond with butthurt commentary.

1. In fact. What, too riled up to type? Got an excuse for this typo? Shall I scold you for it?
2. It's comments like that that make it seem defensive. I know that you idolize and maybe even worship yourself, but you have NO authority whatsoever over how other people speak/think/enjoy in life.

I'm done with this. Nothing you say will change the fact that, due do your overinflated ego, you're out to piss me off. Troll. You're the definition of a troll. The larger portion of input that if ever seen you give to a thread adds negativity and is completely unnecessary. Don't like way someone posts? Then don't post, you aren't obligated to.

Thanks Kuukai, I'll end my part of the bickering too.

[AuraTwilight]

You're really childish and hypocritical. Not only are you the one trolling, harassing, and being unnecessarily mean and argumentative, but you also insist on having the last word even after Kuukai told you to stop. You're standing here criticizing people, talking down to people, accusing them of having overinflated egos and inferiority complexes (how the hell can someone have both anyway?) and generally being a nasty individual. You now possess absolutely no right to be complaining about anyone criticizing your use of a word.

Btw, "Infact" isn't a typo, dumbass. Even if it was, English is my third language. What's your excuse for the three or four typos you made?

You're the best, AT.

So, Ghost Hunters is a horrible show. The camera quality is lacking, even for a show on SyFy. The "spooked" responses don't look the least bit legit.

[AuraTwilight]

There. Legitimate context and usage. <3

Also, I'm confused. Wasn't your original post in this topic praising Ghost Hunter? Did you change your mind or did I misunderstand?

Maybe a little bit of both XD

Hey AT. Long time.
