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

I love it lmfao (lost my flannel at Orlando)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

\o/

meaning: holding up hands in celebration

I thought: stylized lol

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

I thought it meant "so much hate".

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months 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] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I thought <3 was a set of balls

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

And E> is a set of cyborg balls.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

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

OMW should be "oh my word"

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Nah its more like oh! My word!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months 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] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

OwO

UwU

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

But what face is this meant to be: lol ?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 24 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

ffs: fuckfuck shit

[–] [email protected] 17 points 5 months ago

the better o2 lmao

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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 5 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months 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] 5 points 5 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months 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] 1 points 5 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 34 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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 5 months ago (1 children)

That's what I thought it was until right now

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

english be like:

iirc atm btw nbd omw orly tbf rn tbh, wbu 👍

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months 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 5 months ago

The best I've got is O3.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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 5 months 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] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I always internalize SMH as suck my head

[–] [email protected] -2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Pretty sure that was the original meaning; see also SMDH. The head shaking is the kid friendly version.

Edit: I was mistaken. :o

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I'm pretty sure this can't be true lol

Edit: decided to look into it further and found this page with an interesting tidbit from 2013 regarding dilution of Google search results:

While finding out what SMH stands for took about 10 seconds, it's what I noticed along the way that really struck me - Google's search results for SMH. I always like to examine interesting first page search results whenever I run across them so we can all better understand the direction search is headed. Before I dive into the details, take a look at the screenshot (click to enlarge):

See how these results differ from regular old Google search results?

  • Merrill Lynch Semiconductors HOLDRS ETF stock quote results at the top, complete with buttons to change the date range as well as links to details on SMH at Google Finance, Yahoo! Finance and MSN Money.

  • The "Knowledge Graph" area to right has image (logo) and text links to the Google+ page for the Sydney Morning Herald. Just below is a photo, excerpt and link to Sydney Morning Herald's most recent Google+ post.

  • Also in the knowledge graph is "place" preview info for Sarasota Memorial Hospital (another "SMH"). As with most things in the knowledge graph, however, this just links you to search results for "sarasota memorial hospital", whose website domain is smh.com

  • Back in the organic results, we see both the Sydney Morning Herald and Sarasota Memorial Hospital, along with related twitter accounts, Urban Dictionary definitions for SMH, etc. Also smh.org - South Mental Health. Lastly there's an app in the itunes store for the Sydney Morning Herald

OMW = Old Man Winter

I always read TFW as “the fuck when”

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

TFW… SMH Not sure I can unlearn “that face when… so much hate”

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

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

Both kinda work, though.
