Anyone out there in TA use online phrases/terms like "OWNED" or "Quality" or anything of that sort? Saying LOL would be an extreme tho, me thinks. I say "owned" quite a lot lately. Last night I went on a go kart track and this one kid screwed up a turn and wound up facing the wall (he didnt get hurt, just stuck), and the go-karts don't have a reverse gear. I yelled, "OWNED!" at him. Pretty stupid, but he did get owned, one of the track staff had to get out onto the track and pull the kart back so he could finish the lap.
At one FLTA party, Damon shot some really nice footage and I said, "That was maximum quality, dude!"
One of the funniest things I love hearing at FLTA gatherings is Arturo saying "I DIE."
Funny how the intarweb affects life nowadays.

do you actually say it as "double-u tee eff"? Because that would be kinda weird
It's been proven through the ages that language is not static. Internet terminology is definitely the changing way of things. Day after day, we are drawn closer to newspeak

Actually I do that too!!! I work in an office and (obviously) swearing is prohibited so I say "Double-U-Tee Eff" LOL....
I've never said "NOOB" but now I think I will....

meh, it's just that the subtle chaning of the times is upon us and noticeable. My English teacher in High School never hesitated to share with us how many kids these days seem to have forgotten that, even in essays, the word "you" is NOT spelt "U"
Language is just a means to an end, don't deify something to the point of absolute expectation: you'll doom yourself to prejudice. Instead, focus your energy towards understanding communication for what it is regardless of the form it comes in.
but in the meantime...
OMG WTF R U PPL JST A BUNCH O N00bies? LOLOLO!!!1!!11

It's funny that you made this thread, cause the other day I actually said LOL out loud. I didn't even realize I said it till the girl I was with looked at me, bewildered, and said "Spend a lot of time on the computer, huh?"
