not only can chuck norris speak and understand leet speak/net slang he invented it and in a game of counter strike he bet fatality with only a round house kick to the head, it was so fierce that chuck norris came out of the screen and round house kicked him in the head, and ironically, was a fatal hit

I hate lots of internet slang, especially LOL. When I write a text message on my phone I write each word in full with proper grammar because I hate txtspch and bad grammar.

But sometimes when someone says a joke that isn't funny at all I give them a death-stare and a monotone "LOL".

I am rather horrified I was able to partially decipher the mess of numbers up there.

The only time I might consider using it on the internet is when intentionally sending it up.

There's a friend of mine who says literally lol, he says lol instead of laughing

I say 'WTF', 'Stallown3d', 'Lollerskates', 'Roflsauce', 'n00b' (or n00blet, for kids who are n00bs), and pretty much anything that can end in 'x0r':
Crapx0r
Haxx0r
Suxx0r
etc.

I. Am. Such. A. Nerd.

Oh man... one of my pet peeves is when people use the word "pwn" in real life. "Owned" or "ownage" also annoys me a bit, but not nearly as much as "pwn" and any of its derivatives do.

Generally speaking, I rarely use Internet slang in real life, unless I'm doing it on purpose to joke around.

Even when I write any type of digitized message (such as email, SMS, forum post, instant message, etc), I'll try to use proper English whenever possible. One exception is instant messaging, where I'll often forgo proper capitalization.

I'll sometimes use common abbreviations such as AFAIK, YMMV, BRB, LOL etc, but I try to avoid using short-hands such as u, y, r, tmr, 2, etc. With respect to the abbreviations, however, I will usually only use these in situations where I'm certain that the target audience will understand.

Yes. I use them a lot when I talk to my brother or friends :

Pwn, own, noob and french ones like : ponayz, poutre.

Sometimes it goes like :

"Ptain tu t'es fais pwné comme un ponayz, ça poutre !" (You've been pwned like a ponayz, it rox !"

Lol one of my Art teacher told me last week (in French) : "T'as l'air de roxer en dessin toi." ("Looks like you rox at drawing.")

I was like WTF LMAO ?!

No I don't use them in real life and outside of being lazy with wtf or to make a point with own (not the tard spelling with p) I never do as I don't want to look like some loser tool. Hell I don't even know what a good few of them are because I choose not to get into that.

"Fail" and "own", I'll admit to that. Don't really use anything else, on the spot made-up slang is way more fun. All those who think poll should have an option for "a little bit" say aye.

I said "w00t" once by accident, gave myself such a kick in the head and I've been clean ever since (I blame my friend who can sit laughing at w00tdog for 5 minuites straight

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
