Didnt really pay attention to context or spelling, more like reading through words derived from a foreign language

FTFY is better as Fuck that, Fuck you.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

Gets the same point across!

[-] [email protected] 35 points 1 year ago

So much hate

(Until I figured out this acronym a couple years back, the internet was a much angrier place for me. )

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

That's what I thought it was until right now

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I still can't believe it doesn't mean that.

[-] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago

I thought FTW meant ‘Fuck The World’

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I’ve always thought it meant both

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

It does when scratched into school desks. In text messages/online posts, though, it means For The Win.

[-] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

I am gonna steal FTFY, so whenever I use that, remember that's what I'm saying to you.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Fuck That Fuck You actually works in every context where FTFY is used

[-] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

the better o2 lmao

[-] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

I always read TFW as “the fuck when”

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

I was essentially certain that this meant: "their face when"

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I thought it was "that feel when..." like in the memes.

Both kinda work, though.

OMW should be "oh my word"

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago
[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Nah its more like oh! My word!

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Back twenty years ago when I first started seeing "SMH" it was "So. Much. Hate."

As in "I really dislike that."

As in "So, everybody unanimously said they want sheet cake for office birthdays and management decided to double down on the day old donuts again anyway? So Much Hate."

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I thought I was nuts in remembering that it meant so much hate at one point

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I think it was the original meaning when it was brand new and still very niche.

Part of me wonders if it made it onto one of those "Parents! Know these abbreviations!" memes where they purposely list the acronyms incorrectly (LOL--Lots of Love) and then got more popular that way.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

I can use all of these to talk about a rousing game of football:

Newcastle United Fuck The What! We can't lose against Man United again SoMetHing.

MotherFuWwer Joelinton misses an absolute sitter 😨 (Some internet famous Lorem Ipsum)

On my way

*Oh My What. Fuck This, Fuck You.

The Fuck What we're actually winning Happy cat emoticon. Howeh the lads 0⁷(dunno how to subscript on my phone so this is the best you get)

>85 minutes later

We lost again‽ First Flayer Shooter!

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I love when people make the effort to do this kind of stuff and I got the opportunity to have someone do it for my post.

Thanks dude. You have made my day...

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

What the hell do cats look like in your neck of the woods? 🤨

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I always pronounce FFS in my head. I imagine it's the person breathing out in frustration.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

A flayer shooter with Oz, you say? Well, the lore is there.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I thought <3 was a set of balls

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

And E> is a set of cyborg balls.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

...and why do kids these days say ooh-wooh?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago
[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

OwO

UwU

They're actually face emojis. First is eyes open, second is eyes closed.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

But what face is this meant to be: lol ?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

It's the referee signaling that the field goal was good.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

UwU, OwO and OwU represent Cute Face. It is used to express various warm, happy, or affectionate feelings, often with an overtone of arousal.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I know someone who insists LOL means "lots of love".

His text "My mother-in-law died last night LOL" still fails to parse.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I genuinely thought SMH meant "smack my head" as in facepalm. Which works in context, both mean I am dissapoint.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I thought it meant "so much hate".

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

It would be better if people wrote out the words so 1 - there is no misunderstandings and 2 - we know they know how to spell. 😉

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

OMW = Old Man Winter

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I always internalize SMH as suck my head

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

\o/

meaning: holding up hands in celebration

I thought: stylized lol

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Same here. Some of those are exactly what I thought and one was what I still thought to this day

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

If you haven't tried that better oxygen, you should get down to your local oxygen bar ASAP (Always Slippy As Peppers).

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

The best I've got is O3.
