All of that junk that is written on the walls in public restrooms. My momma taught me not to write on walls, how about you?

Writing on walls? No. Drawing on walls? Yes.
@Krzychu: No worries, that's what this thread is for. 
And another one for the list: People who use the word "gay" for describing anything lame, stupid or inferior. I really hate that.

This reminds me of a newspost on www.pvponline.com
"Quick newspost about the word gay
Posted on Friday, September 24, 2004
Okay, let me clear something up for all of you ultra-sensitive types.
Using the word "Gay" as a negative adjective...not a good idea. There's no need to replace the word "sucks" in your vocabulary with "gay." Lot's of people do it, but that doesn't make it right. It's hurtful and there's no reason for it.
Using the word "Gay" as a way of describing something gay...perfectly okay. If something is gay, it's gay. Gay men call themselves gay. Gay women call themselves gay. There are Gay parades, there is gay pride, and there is even gay parts of town. Will is Gay. Grace is not.
So...to recap...If I were to post on my site:
"George Lucas changing the Star Wars films is gay." I'm being a jerk. Using the word gay as a negative descriptor is bad.
However...If I were to post on my site:
"George Lucas wearing fishnet stockings is gay." Then I'm being accurate, and you should not email me. A man wearing fishnet stockings ...that's pretty gay.
Guess what...capes are kinda gay. That doesn't make them bad, it just makes them gay. On superheroes, in comic books, it works. But if I were to show up to the movies, wearing a cape, I might get hit on.
I hope that clears things up for our more sensitive readers (who seemed to be okay with the boob squeeze and the dog humping strips).
Thank you
-The Management"
Heh. Is that really so common? I think I've never met anyone using the word "gay" as a negative adjective.

For the most part, I agree with the above. And yes, it's common enough to make me want to smack people over the head with an English dictionary fairly often.

Same for the use of the word "Rape" by people playing computer games (particually online games). As in "I raped him" - People it is too strong a word to be associated with a "win" in a computer game no matter how "good" that win is.

Restaurants/Take-aways that have chilli sauce which isn't at all hot! The prupose of chilli sauce is to make food that isn't usually spicy, SPICY! Whats the point if the chilli is just ketchup with a small sprinkle of chilli powder which you can't even taste???

So you can eat something with the chilli sauce even if you don't like spicy food and then you can say "Look at me! I eat everything with chilli, I'm so tough!"  But seriously, I agree, that's stupid.
Also: People who think they're cool and "mastahs" because they call names and insult anyone who isn't as "cool" as them. Damn show-offs. What's your problem, you're looking for enemies or what?! Few real life examples: "You're a Jew! You're gay! You (Ah... whatever insult you can imagine)" Not only this is just rude, but also I'm sick of hearing this everyday! (And it's not that I'm being insulted) Shut up already!!! You impress nobody - *looks around* - eh, I guess I'm wrong. *sigh*

"Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree"; this song needs to go away for a few years. It's getting annoying.

Heh, right!
And could you tell me what's this "pwned" means? Is that some variation of "owned"? I'm not l337 enough to know that.
Also: I was in a club where they play heavy metal a few days ago. Everybody (except two people) is dressed in black and suddenly this girl (dressed casually) calls my friend a poser(spelling?). What? Okay, let's ignore that. Some time later the same girl tries to hit me in the face with her fist. What the hell?! Uh, riiiiiight... I gave her a puzzled look and walked a few steps away. Next, my other friend gets kicked in the face while walking up the stairs  by - yes, you guessed it - the same girl. Oh, I get it! Sure, you can act like that when your boyfriend is a 2-meter-tall block of muscles. I mean, what were we supposed to do, hit her back? Surely, she deserved it, but we didn't want no trouble. This must go. All the way to Hell! 
I guess somebody didn't feel the Christmas spirit. Too bad.

pwned
A corruption of the word "Owned." This originated in an online game called Warcraft, where a map designer misspelled "owned." When the computer beat a player, it was supposed to say, so-and-so "has been owned."
Instead, it said, so-and-so "has been pwned."
It basically means "to own" or to be dominated by an opponent or situation, especially by some god-like or computer-like force.
"Man, I rock at my job, but I still got a bad evaluation. I was pwned."
OR
"That team totally pwned us."

Why thank you, DzD. 
So it is as I suspected, though I didn't know it was in Warcraft first.
Where did you get that definition anyway?
