CeDeFiA Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Whenever I see some internet slang I don't quite understand, I always go to Urban Dictionary. So discuss moments where YOU have gone to Urban Dictionary to figure out what the hell people are saying. OR just discuss Internet Slang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JoshIcy Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Umm, it actually has actual slang. And some people have used it to describe it when I talk in Pidgin etc. So it has its uses. But much of the definitions are not appropriate for YCM.

Muluck Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 I don't ever use the slang, or try to learn it. I believe my time can be used for more valuable things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinitus Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 As a matter of fact, Muluck, I believe learning slang is the equivelent of repetitively picking your nose. A bad habit that can damage you. Learning slang becomes a habit, causing your vocabulary quality to decrease. Eventually, when you go to your job interview, and you want to bring out your intelligent, civilized self, you cannot because you are too hooked on the slang and popular terms that mean absolutely nothing.

Dark Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 inb4(lock)TBH, TBQH That's about it. It's easier to use internet slang on the internet. But making a habit of it is deadly. But it's nice to shorten words to a few letters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In moderation almost everything is fine. I don't judge you when you play your video games, nor do I judge the people who gossip about celebrity gossip. Everything is done to pass the time, I simply wouldn't like to learn Internet Lingo to pass the time, as I never use it. So.. come again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
