What is leet? And Jesus, Ilsa, how long did it take you to learn that nonsense? Couldn’t you have spent that time learning Spanish or something useful?
I know Spanish, and I used a translator.
I’d say that ‘jump the shark’ has already crossed the fine line between a cliche and a figure of speech. Er, to the figure-of-speech direction.
What’s the extra B for in BYOBBB?
whoosh.

Actually, leet is the bastard child of online gamers who, for some ungodly reason, found that typing in symbols and numbers instead of normal letters made them more ‘elite’ then their standard alphabet counterparts. Just wait until someone breaks out the charachter map.
Supposably, 1337 speech was created to confuse supposed computer controlled government monitoring of message boards, back in the BBS days.
Now, we’re going to have to dig deep, give 110%, and remember that there’s no “me” in team.
Oh, wait — no “I” in team. We do this, and the momentum will go our way.
Punoqllads…what the fuck!?
That’s a typo.
The above sports cliches have each been used a million times more than, “Worst <blank> ever.” Every time an athlete is interviewed above their team’s performance, they average about one of those quotes per interview. Sometimes, all are used in the same interview. Multiple times.
I think there are two reasons:
People are not funny but they want to be. So like children they repeat things people laugh at. The best example is probarbly “cheese eating surrender monkeys”.
The other reason for things like I burning your dog or 1920’s style death rays is to identify themselves as part of the group. By showing they know the insider jokes they tell themselves they are part of the group.
God blessed! I questioned whether or not I was being whooshed right before I hit submit. But I hit submit anyway.
Worst.Whoosh.Ever.
WHO OSH[SIZE=6]![/SIZE]
Forgetting about “Worst _____ Ever” for a minute, IIRC isn’t Leet on the “Do not use” list with the Mods?
It’s not like I am going to report you but I would be careful using it around here. I am pretty sure they don’t like it in the same realm that they don’t like posts in languages other than English. Bottom line, they need to make sure they can read what you are typing.
Who Osh? I believe Osh was the Greek god of sarcasm. In ancient times people would walk by his temple and instead of actually leaving something would instead say, “I’ll really leave something for the God of Sarcasm. I mean, he does soooo much for us.” [note the sarcastic tone of phrase]
On the slim occasion when one needed to actually leave something for Osh, for instance if they lost their sarcastic tone, you could see the floor littered with :rolleyes:'s.
Although not very well known, and indeed not a very powerfull God, Osh is one of my favorite. On the off chance that you would like to learn more about him please pick up a book.
I know it’s late, but…
Lucky Strike Means Fine Tobacco
Yeah, I’m old.
MEh, that rant is teh suxxorz!
Err, or to the side of verbal crutch for the dimwitted like:
“Where’s the Beef?”
“whhhaaaaatssss uppppp”
“Talk to the hand”
and other idiocy.
1: My cat’s breath smells like Barks’ dog food.
2: When come back, loosen up a little.
3: Has anybody seen Opal?
