Favorite ILM or ILX tropes

I feel like this must have been done, or is present in threads like “signs youve been on ilx too long” or whatever, but feel free to add the stuff that almost always works for you that is from here- or that you bring to irl and can’t succinctly explain there.

I did look for uh, tropes but mine is “Well, yeah” from that Eagles thread. Thats where i got that, right? Citations are a plus.

correlated noise of conformity (Hunt3r), Tuesday, 28 November 2017 02:20 (eight years ago)

i miss hanging out in 77, especially in the extra secret, velvet paneled "lizard lounge" that came with my old ILX GOLD membership.

New Jersey (treeship 2), Tuesday, 28 November 2017 03:16 (eight years ago)

Lol i learned about theseus’ treeship because of ilx today. Hunt3r learns on ilx.

correlated noise of conformity (Hunt3r), Tuesday, 28 November 2017 03:37 (eight years ago)

I've been lurking, and sometimes even posting, on ILX for over seven years and I still don't know what or where 77 is.

The image-based tropes are among my faves. Bloomps, Hunter age 3, Santorum collage, Bin Laden thumbs up. I probably get the most personal mileage out of 'Well, yeah.' despite never having actually seen the Eagles documentary.

There’s a guy at work who always waits until everybody’s had their say before dropping a five-minute, calmly reasoned argument that seems to synthesize everything that’s been said, and then when he’s done there’s like a ten second stretch of silence while everyone processes what they just heard and at the end of which I think to myself: “nabisco otm”

I will say that it took me a while to get the hang of ILXese, and I still don't get the in-jokes a lot of the time. It is a distinct style, that was ahead of its time in some ways. Some of the abbreviations are internet-wide (like IMO); others are ILX-specific (like otm). Much of it predates text-speak. So in some ways the larger culture has caught up to where you folks already were.

To me, the archetypal ilx post is aggressively uncapitalized and unpunctuated; it is often zingy or eye-rollingly dismissive in nature, and includes at least one ILX-specific abbreviation. Often a non-obvious nickname base on a previous user name. My normal mode is full sentences with capitalization and punctuation (even in a text to my wife about picking up cat food). So a laconic ILXy post like

not an original idea tbh

is outside my normal idiom (compared to the rest of the web), and it can still often seem fresh and fun.

Huh, I'm just now realizing that this is an ILX trope.


I consistently forget that it is. I am always thinking it’s from a movie or a song and then searching for the phrase brings me right back here.

trm (tombotomod), Thursday, 25 July 2024 22:24 (one year ago)

should always be sung on sight and followed up with 'and fire in the sky' imo

My husband and I use “pvmic” all the time in reference to actual behaviors or things said aloud.

Wow I thought otm was internet-wide.

just1n3, Friday, 26 July 2024 10:50 (one year ago)

otm is timelessly ilx

plax (ico), Friday, 26 July 2024 11:11 (one year ago)

otm is the greatest ilxor-ism that I'm always annoyed I can't actually use off-board.

the last visible dot (Doctor Casino), Friday, 26 July 2024 11:14 (one year ago)

i once came across otm out in the wild (pre-elon twitter) and of course it turned out to be an ilxor posting under a different handle

the jd vance memes reminded me of gear's roommate, thusly

Roz, Friday, 26 July 2024 11:27 (one year ago)

i feel like i say otm to people and nobody blinks but then nobody really expects to know what anybody else is talking about anymore. i say 'say' and 'blinks' but i dont mean like actually say out loud and blinking in response

plax (ico), Friday, 26 July 2024 11:36 (one year ago)

I can't quite remember (or find it) but didn't the original trucker hat story involve a coach?

StanM, Friday, 26 July 2024 11:46 (one year ago)

couch

YES IT DID: what to do when your roommate doesn't realize you're home and thusly is having loud sex in the living room

Jersey Devil Vance (President Keyes), Friday, 26 July 2024 14:01 (one year ago)

Was JD Vance the one fucking Gear’s roommate? Was it more like a three way with a three seater?!

FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Friday, 26 July 2024 14:06 (one year ago)

yeah there's more to the story. see, the original story is that Gear running into the room and making an exclamation of disgust ended proceedings, but this was a cover-up to protect the innocent. Trucker Hat Vance and the roommate were going at it, when she realized that the sex she thought they were having was Vance jackhammering the couch cushions while yelling out the name of the model number and brand name.

rick beato meato manifesto (Neanderthal), Friday, 26 July 2024 14:13 (one year ago)

Xps to slowsquatch

No if I’m saying it aloud, I say “posts very much in character”. I think it started because my husband was occasionally posting here when that thread was first posted? And it somehow became an ongoing joke between us.

just1n3, Friday, 26 July 2024 15:32 (one year ago)

i have also had the sad moment where i use otm and no one knows what the fuck i am talking about.

I think I posted this on the Ornaldo Bloomps thread, but a while ago I was chatting with my housemates and one of them mentioned Orlando Bloom in passing, and it was as if they'd told the funniest joke of all time. I started giggling just at the name, and then I started laughing harder when I realized that the mere existence of Orlando Bloom was that funny to me, and then it turned into one of those laughing fits that you can't stop and I ended up having to leave the room.

"obtain much hard one" popped into my head recently. I wanted to find the origins of the phrase, and since search hasn't been working on the ilx mobile app, I just plugged it into Google search. All of the results were from ilxor.com, of course, except for one comment someone made on reddit in the past month! I tip my hat to this ilxor (current or former?) trying to revive a boner meme from 17 years ago and bring it to the masses.

peace, man, Friday, 27 September 2024 14:11 (one year ago)

wow, and doing a search on ilx just now, it looks like no one's even mentioned it here in 9 years.

Something I look back on wistfully, even though I wasn't even part of it, is the constant title-riffing of the "mollify" threads on Idiot Thread Repository. Don't know if that counts as a trope, but it was ongoing good-natured manic goofiness for a while there in the late 2000s.
