Just because things are in the past (ie before you were born) doesnt mean you cant of heard of them.
The Beatles were around years before most of us were born but we still know them right...

Yeah, but the Beatles are so much more well-known than H.R...

I... I just wanna be special...

Saying you have heard of something(music/fashion/movies/art) you feel other people your age may not of doesnt make you special. It makes you a hipster...

I found this amusing but also feel that our words are better...

Im curious as to whether many Americans know why to avoid this phrase in the UK context...

4. Bum bag: Fanny pack. For your own sake, don’t say “fanny pack.” (Come to think of it, don’t say “fanny” at all.)

Also did you guys hear about the prank 4chan pulled on Beiber fans. Spreading the rumour that he had cancer so a ton of his female fans shaved their heads...eep.

Ees like vajayjay, non?

Who talks about, *ahem*, bum bags anyway? I can't say as it comes up in my conversation much ever...

I knew most of those expressions. I have no opinion about which ones are 'better' if such a thing can be quantified.

I was saying that I had done things before they were cool before anyone else was saying that they had done things before they were cool!

Hipsterception.

Haha...I had a Christmas cd on in the car two days ago...not sure what possessed me, really. Guess the devil made me do it, muahahaha!

I love Christmas music. But then again, I'm a sucker for the whole sentimental holiday season thing. It never really lost its magic to me, and I don't see why it should.

I'm sentimental about some things, but Christmas isn't one of them. Work has already started playing the music. After listening to it for 10 hours a day, 5 days a week, I'm about to snap. Ask not for whom the sleigh bells toll...
