The comic-store guy on The Simpsons
“Worst…<blank>…Ever…”
Okay, actually it’s not that bad (nowhere near the WORST), but the thread title just writes itself. I’ve been seeing complaints phrased in this manner WAY too often on the SDMB recently, which is added to the fact that a friend of mine can’t mention anything which he doesn’t like without giving his own grating, irritating exaggeration of the phrase.
I think the humor of this has expired, now. Find a new catch phrase.

Bless you. I was pondering posting this very rant after seeing three or four new “worst ___ ever” threads in CS today.
“Worst _______ ever” has definitely jumped the shark.
Ah, they’re 1920’s style “Death Rays.”
And don’t think for a minute, that I didn’t predict those before I wrote the OP!

It Is true that the comic book guy punctuation has lost its funniness. Bu tthe bigger question here is why this happens? Is it an expression of repressed agression in out collective psyche? To Be or not to be, really. I mean, when people chime in with the meaningless phrase like the one the OP mocks? When I burning your dog? If we can figure out the answer to these questions, we can advance as a people. If the reason people went to the trouble of [something] this lame attempt at being funny by writing posts in leet, you are a fucking moron.Basically, people, you are not so leet.
Well, I tried to clean it up a little but damn if I can get some of it. That’s my attempt anyway.

Oh, and the word whatami was missing was “decoding”.
