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

FTFY is better as Fuck that, Fuck you.

[-] snooggums@midwest.social 13 points 2 months ago

Gets the same point across!

[-] loomi@lemmy.world 35 points 2 months ago

So much hate

(Until I figured out this acronym a couple years back, the internet was a much angrier place for me. )

[-] SadSadSatellite@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 months ago

That's what I thought it was until right now

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

[-] paddirn@lemmy.world 25 points 2 months ago

I thought FTW meant ‘Fuck The World’

[-] darvocet@infosec.pub 7 points 2 months ago

I’ve always thought it meant both

[-] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 4 points 2 months ago

It does when scratched into school desks. In text messages/online posts, though, it means For The Win.

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months ago

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

[-] answersplease77@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

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

[-] bolexforsoup@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 2 months ago

I always read TFW as “the fuck when”

[-] philthi@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

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

[-] Enkers@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

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

Both kinda work, though.

[-] snooggums@midwest.social 2 points 2 months ago

The First Walrus.

[-] fulcrummed@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

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

[-] Randelung@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago

the better o2 lmao

[-] Venator@lemmy.nz 9 points 2 months ago

OMW should be "oh my word"

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 2 months ago
[-] Venator@lemmy.nz 2 points 2 months ago

Nah its more like oh! My word!

[-] Kiernian@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

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."

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!

[-] jonathanvmv8f@lemm.ee 6 points 2 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...

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 5 points 2 months ago

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

[-] Tobberone@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago

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

[-] saigot@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months ago

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

[-] Meron35@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

I thought <3 was a set of balls

[-] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

And E> is a set of cyborg balls.

[-] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

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

[-] kwedd@feddit.nl 2 points 2 months ago

I thought it meant "so much hate".

[-] ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

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

[-] Venator@lemmy.nz 3 points 2 months ago
[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

OwO

UwU

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

[-] Venator@lemmy.nz 3 points 2 months ago

But what face is this meant to be: lol ?

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 2 months ago

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

[-] Enkrod@feddit.de 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 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.

[-] letsgo@lemm.ee 4 points 2 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.

[-] snooggums@midwest.social 3 points 2 months ago

OMW = Old Man Winter

[-] xlash123@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

I always internalize SMH as suck my head

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. 😉

[-] Grass@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

ffs: fuckfuck shit

[-] drislands@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I love it lmfao (lost my flannel at Orlando)

[-] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 months ago

\o/

meaning: holding up hands in celebration

I thought: stylized lol

If you haven't tried that better oxygen, you should get down to your local oxygen bar ASAP (Always Slippy As Peppers).

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

The best I've got is O3.

[-] yamapikariya@lemmyfi.com 1 points 2 months ago

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