Current Events > What is your all-time least-favorite "netspeak" acronym?

(+) Yeah! (+)

IYKYK feels super smug & usually is used in reference to something well-known enough to just be acknowledged upfront, but despite being 11-years-extinct I still think bamf was the one I hated the most when it was a thing.

aita

I've literally never thought about this enough to have a least favorite, and I now look down upon anybody who has.

"AITA?"

If you have to ask, the answer is probably yes. Especially if you're posting about it online, since that's the perfect opportunity to make yourself come off as a saint and the other person in your story as the asshole.

If you look down on others for having an innate disgust response that might warrant some self-reflection.

IANAL, probably

An innate disgust response to an acronym that most people don't really consider for even a second? Yes, I feel pretty comfortable not caring about those, and wondering why anybody would. I treat them all the same: They're literally nothing, they're just random internet acronyms. Being concerned with them so much that you have an actual "least favorite" implies there are perhaps other problems you may want to address.

EDIT: To be fair, I'm not saying this about anybody in this topic, who is simply answering the question since it was asked. If you're asked to choose one, then yes, you're obviously going to think about it. What I mean is just... Thinking about it that much, completely unprovoked. Seems like an odd thing to spend that much effort on.

Probably "kek" and "top kek"

rip / big rip, probably, which is honestly way less weird than most of these.

like, i don't even use F so much, cuz I was never a CoD player.
