Slurs aside,
and probably a bunch more dated slang which I've memory-holed
Ugh. It can’t be overstated just how pervasive the f-word slur was when I grew up.
And it's cousin, not!
Oh shit, that reminded me of another one: talk to the hand!
lol and lmao are quicker to type for more people than rofl on qwerty keyboard. That's always been my guess. rofl is a little awkward to type
It used to be a composite too, it was often typed out fully as roflmao. That's what I think actually became lmao over time
Me and my partner still use "noice" all the time, we're keeping the flame alive. Whether anyone wants us to or not
I feel like brah has increased if anything. Or maybe Im combining it with bruh.
25% of my verbal communication is various forms of brah/bruh/bruv
Yeah, I'm specifically excluding brah. I still hear (and use) both bro and bruh, but the frat-bro-coded brah seems to have fallen to the wayside. Maybe actual frat bros still use it...not really my scene.
Jerry-rigged actually, and apparently this phrase predates the term "Jerry" used for Germans by a century so no relation
Depends, is ghetto meaning poorly built or shoddy (jerry rigged)? Or is it meaning effectively, even stylishly, Improvised from on hand materials (jury rigged)
Ive seen both definitions used.
lmao i didn't realize both were phrases but in retrospect it's obvious. english is weird
Remains my guiding light for all of my creative endeavors. My primary ambition is to make something that would make it on Toonami. Something my younger self would dig. I just want TOM to do some ice cold voice-over promo on my work. That's what I want my c/gamedev projects to be. Toonami worthy.
