Ben X Posted January 23, 2008 Is there an established internet slang term for something that everyone's seen? Like, say, if I posted a thread saying "Hey, look at this 'Zero Punctuation' thing", or whatever. If not, can we come up with one, please? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DanJW Posted January 23, 2008 Amongst b3tans (whose influence spreads far indeed) I believe the word is "glasscock". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
n0wak Posted January 23, 2008 "2006 called, it wants its meme back." "Repost." "Oooooooold" "I have no life and I've seen everything on the internet, twice, so fuck off you obviously life-having person." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nachimir Posted January 23, 2008 "Old hat" has been the traditional response on most literate gaming forums I've seen, usually linked to an old thread or post. The Black Cat Games* forums even have an old hat smiley: * The mod team, not to be confused with a game torrents site that has a similar name Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thrik Posted January 27, 2008 OFN is pretty common from what I've seen. It stands for 'old fucking news'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben X Posted January 29, 2008 Well, OFN is closest to what I was looking for, although I was hoping someone had come up with an amazing pun term. Thanks, Thumbs! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thrik Posted January 29, 2008 But do you guys even visit any mainstream forums? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick Posted January 29, 2008 You're a mainstream forum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wrestlevania Posted January 29, 2008 I heard his mom's a mainstream forum. Apologies for being (more of) a cunt, Thrik; this, I suspect, is why myself and others here perhaps don't frequent "mainstream" forums. It's certainly my reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
