Odyssey 5,713 December 19, 2018 Share December 19, 2018 i swear if one of you shout "weeb" one more time 12 hours ago, Luna the Great of all the Russias said: I miss the times when people frequently said pwn; rekt is not quite the same. I hardly see anybody say rekt nowadays. I like both terms either way, pwn reminds me of leetspeak from way back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luna the Great of all the Russias 2,697 December 19, 2018 Share December 19, 2018 1 hour ago, Bas said: I think there is even a small difference between pwned and owned. I thought pwn and own meant the same thing; my guess is that pwn was simply a misspelling of own but became accepted as a term. 48 minutes ago, Holly Jolly Ody said: i swear if one of you shout "weeb" one more time I hardly see anybody say rekt nowadays. I like both terms either way, pwn reminds me of leetspeak from way back Pwn has some aspect of nostalgia for me whereas rekt does not... not that I have anything against the term. If there were terms to be used to describe Anime enthusiasts it would be either Weaboo or Otaku as far as I am aware. It is not clear to me whether either or both are intended to be derogatory or neutral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too, I know it sounds biased considering the main topic of this thread, but I do have a soft spot for old terms like pwn and 1337 and whatever The way I see it, weeb and weeaboo are more derogatory, while otaku has been embraced as an affectionate nickname for members in the anime fandom overtime. Nowadays I see more of weeb and less of weeaboo and otaku tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wannabrony 11,638 December 20, 2018 Share December 20, 2018 I don't hate them, they are definitely a help when you are texting someone in a hurry. I usually text my friends in well-structured full sentences to the best of my abilities, but I recently found out that apparently doing so makes them feel uncomfortable. Tangent aside, I don't mind them or have a problem with them. Although I, too, have a problem keeping up. Just recently I learned what FOMO means! You can use them however you like; though I would prefer if you not abuse them, as it gets annoying that way, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Tang 2,422 December 20, 2018 Share December 20, 2018 I'm living under a rock, so I only know those dead words, dead trends, and dead memes. As for newer words, I have no idea about them. For example, 3 hours ago, Wannabrony said: Just recently I learned what FOMO means! What does that word even mean? MOFO but backwards? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"[foh-moh] noun Slang. a feeling of anxiety or insecurity over the possibility of missing out on something, as an event or an opportunity: If I say no to a party invitation, I get a bad case of FOMO." Yeah, that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Bolt 34,914 April 16, 2019 Share April 16, 2019 (edited) They're like a plague, honestly. We all hate them but sooner or later, we all wind up saying them. Edited April 16, 2019 by Lucky Bolt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash In 21,501 April 16, 2019 Share April 16, 2019 (edited) I struggle to keep up with them. Every day, a new one gets pulled out of someone's ass. Edited November 6, 2021 by Cash_In Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
