I’ve used ‘poofing’ to describe people’s sudden disappearancce, but alot of people still don’t know that term, so I have gone back to ‘kikd’ as in they have been kicked off home, though this almost makes it sound as though Sony expelled them.I only occasionally use ‘newb’ around vets here, and never call new people that just because it has now sorta become a slur. Good article, and thanks for the friendship…:)

Funny, before I read your post I was thinking that I heard an F1 announcer say that a driver came so close to the wall that you couldn’t put a ‘fag’ wrapper in between the tire and the wall, and the American counterpart quickly chimed in that it was a ciggy wrapper in England and not to take that wrong. Oh our differences. LOL

Lagspeak: That bunch of gibberish you end up typing when Home freezes up for a second.

Fun read. Being from the majestic (and always dull and cold) island of Britania, I tend to use the word fag a lot. See, I’m a smoker and as such we call our coffin nails fags, always have, always will. But I’m very aware of its Americano translation, so often when I tell my US friends that I’m “just nipping out for a quick fag” I get a few odd reactions. I know, the censors won’t let you type that in Home so I use a variation of it since I refuse to change my terminology. If I wanna go smoke a fag, then damnit, I will!

Great article Olivia, very funny! I can probably think of a few new ways to say these things. When people “poof” we could say “alakazam!” or “abracadabra”. Or we could say a real word like “gone”.
How about calling new people something more inviting like a combo of friend and new like “frews”. Lol!
When it comes to spawning we could use a real word like “arriving” or “entering”. But when it comes down to it, it doesn’t matter what we use or create, they will all become the same as the ones we already have in their usage. “Frews” would become the new “noob” because people will use it the same way for the same reasons. Words always become what we decide to make them mean for us, either negative or positive. This is a fun article, loved it.

Oh yeah, bad used to be good and maybe it still is? I don’t know.
Your writing is both bad or good.

Jest go wit the flow and speak your own talk. Maybe someone will pick up on it. Remember flappers? Neither do I but I heard about them.

Funny article with seriousness.
