umadbro and “cool story bro” are terms used almost exclusively by trolls. Why do you continue to want to prove us right, Bo who probably can’t Snowboard? ---

I’ll help your addled brain remember what that lie was, even tho I already called you out once on it: **Big T** wasn’t lying. Sheesh! That’s what he types instead of typing “LOL” It’s all about context, dude. Lighten up! ---

Humankind unites to fight a greater evil and all that… Hey, I’m planning on slacking off today at work, and when the boss asks me what I’m doing, I’m going to say _“I’m lolling around.”_ And she’ll realize that I’m beyond her authority, and walk away muttering “That Bo…” Who’s with me? ---

One of these days **Snowboarder Bo** is going to go to that quarry and he’s not going to come back. Then you’ll all be sorry! _The walls are hung with velvet that is black and soft as sin, And little dwarfs creep out of it and little dwarfs creep in_ Sorry, every time I see this thread title I think _Don John of Austria is going to the war_ (Chesterton’s [Lepanto)](http://www.mtholyoke.edu/acad/intrel/lepanto.htm). ---

> [@BigT](#): > > umadbro and “cool story bro” are terms used almost exclusively by trolls. Honestly, I couldn’t care less about **Snowboarder Bo** ’s predilection for exchanging a contentless in-joke for a contentless abbreviation that was at least concise[1]. But I agree here — I’ve only ever seen “umadbro” & co. employed by persons who had withdrawn from any attempt at reasonableness in lieu of mere poking and prodding. _Those_ are phrases that should be taken out back and shot, along with the attitude that gives rise to them. [1] In James Cunningham’s World, of course, the use of “LOL” would be seen with as much scorn as **Bo** ’s quarry. But we don’t live in James Cunningham’s World, sadly. ---
