People even say "newbie" and "owned" from time to time on like Hollyoaks and shit these days. I could never have predicted this happening back in like 94 or whenever. It's not quite "nubcakes" and "lolmgpwnj", but it's getting there. WHERE WILL IT END?
I don't know if this is a parody thread or not ;_;

Oh, is that what that means

I said "crying eagle dot jpeg" the other day. Sorry, world.

I admit I've said "pwned" (well, "poned") more than once but its usually kind of jokingly. Ditto saying things like "bee arr bee".

:more than once"
― Mikey Bidness, Saturday, 30 June 2007 00:47 (eighteen years ago)
OK, all the time then, FINE ;P

sometimes, in the irl, if someone tries to make a joke and it's not really funny, i just say "lol". i only do that to people if i'm in an uncool mood, though.
― andi, Saturday, 30 June 2007 01:00 (eighteen years ago)
how often is that?
― jed_, Saturday, 30 June 2007 01:10 (eighteen years ago)
I've never done this. Most of these save keystrokes, but not syllables and none of my friends are really internet savvy so who the fuck would get the joke anyway.

when you factor irony into the equation all bets are off

I once was trying to get someone's attention who was too busy watching the telly or something and I said "alt+tab fool!" :(
― jim, Saturday, 30 June 2007 01:41 (eighteen years ago)
Hahaha I like that one!
― Trayce, Saturday, 30 June 2007 01:44 (eighteen years ago)
hahaha yeah that is kind of awesome
― marmotwolof, Saturday, 30 June 2007 01:54 (eighteen years ago)
i have no idea what this means
i basically despise all "internetisms"
― lex pretend, Saturday, 30 June 2007 02:06 (eighteen years ago)
"owned" is not an internetism, you dorks.
...i have said "UH" (but not "...jpg") in conversation plenty. but that isn't really an internetism either.

I have had the desire to say [such and such].jpeg on a few occassions. It's such a nice device.
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Saturday, 30 June 2007 02:30 (eighteen years ago)
I'd say if you specifically say "pwned" it is, but the only time I've ever heard that out loud is when Cartman said it on the WoW South Park episode.
I just spent a minute trying to explain what alt-tab does to the lex, but deleted it because, you know, highlight-right click-Search Google for "thing you don't understand."
― marmotwolof, Saturday, 30 June 2007 02:43 (eighteen years ago)
I explained the concept of lolcats to my wife the other day. That probably doesn't count.
― Colonel Poo, Saturday, 30 June 2007 03:58 (eighteen years ago)
I tell you what though, explaining that cats can't spell very well and like to have flavour isn't half as funny IRL.
― Colonel Poo, Saturday, 30 June 2007 03:59 (eighteen years ago)
alt+tab = stroke of genius, wp.
― g-kit, Saturday, 30 June 2007 08:48 (eighteen years ago)
Where does the cat having a flavour thing come from?

AFAIK (that's another one!) this was the picture it was first attached to:
