Re: About Elitists

Probably the latter. And I'm not really knocking your hatred. We all have to have something we dislike. Mine is lol, yours is some unnamed senior citizen.

Too bad you used it in an attempt undermine my opinion somehow summarizing the whole thing with the unrelated sig.

Re: About Elitists

I've seen the punctuation you're talking about lol
lol it tends to get on my nerves too lol
lol some people just don't seem to even know they are doing it lol

My friends and I used to use lih (laughing in head) between ourselves because we honestly weren't lolin'. However, if you say lih or lqtm to someone you'll get the internet equavalent of a vacant stare.

I often use lol as a place-filler. Someone who isn't amusing says something to you that's amusing only to them so you give them the pity lol.

"HEY GUYS PEOPLE TYPE POORLY AND I'M GOING TO EXAGGERATE THAT TO THE EXTREME TO PROVE MY NON-POINT"

I promise I'm not exaggerating one little bit.

No. I just mentioned it. Any other meanings were totally inferred on your part.

Re: About Elitists

I have not read the whole thread, has anyone mentioned that mythical l33t talk that gets no actual use except when people make fun it it?

Actually I did, in my post just above yours.
And I have seen it used when someone legitimately used it as normal speech. I actually think I've had two different people in random pickup parties that used it religiously. I suppose they may have been making fun of it, but if they did, then they didn't bother telling anyone else about the joke. It just made them look annoying, really.

I actually put the 1337sp3akers in the same realm of strangeness as the roleplayer... or the SMN that has Pokemon macros.

And there's a SMN on every server that does this, they should die painfully for doing so, especially if they do it in /say.

I dunno... If I have to choose between a SMN with Pokemon macro and another with "Awake! My Icy Princess of DEATH!!! <call>", it'd be very difficult.

Maybe I'll just invite the lonely looking PUP to party, instead? Should be easy enough to bully him into using no /p and no /say in any macro...

Re: About Elitists

I honestly didn't expect my dislike of lol to come under such scrutiny.

You gotta remember the old saying "Poke on Murphie, it's the right (and fun) thing to do."



Edit > Ok I made that up, but that's the point of all these posts of mine.

Re: About Elitists

><;

There was a guy in my LS who insisted that one day I would giggle when he poked my taru tummy. It never happened. I realize that's not what you mean, but still.

I don't know why anyone would mistake me for a giggler.

Re: About Elitists

I don't mean that they replace periods and commas with it (honestly, far too few folks use those at all, but that's a lost cause), but just that they use it often enough that it may as well be punctuation.
Kirsteena knows what I'm talking about.

You have no idea how often my finger has hovered over the "kick" button with that individual... I have never known anything so annoying.

And who the hell with the taru tummy???

Anyway, vaguely back on track, my ls isn't so bad with the 1337sp3akers, partly because we have so many non-native English speakers, though that does lead to other issues. My personal hatred is "wat" and "wut" (used everyday, not in the poking fun kind of way).

Re: About Elitists

And who the hell with the taru tummy???

I think it's a reference to U.S. TV commercials from Pillsbury, hocking packaged premade bakery dough. In those advertisements, there is this creepy looking little "dough boy" which would giggle if poked in the stomach.

"Dough boy" is round around the tummy area, not unlike your local Tarutarus. Fortunately, Tarutarus are a lot cuter.

Re: About Elitists

Yeah I am just curious as to WHO did that - though I have my suspicions.

Re: About Elitists

You're probably right. He of the questionable humor and pushing the envelope-ness.

He even tried to over Ventrillo, and I was like "Dude. If you weren't going to get a giggle in game, you're never going to get one over vent."
