Which habits/mannerisms did you pick up from the forums?
 
It never occured to me to pee in the shower before reading certain posts at these wonderful forums. Since those dark days, I've truly discovered the joys of release while a cascade of warm water flows down on my face and body. I'll never go back.

In addition, I've developed a true loathing for just about all of humanity. Thanks, Winamp! :up:

So what habits have you developed thanks to the Winamp forums???








PS: Especially you. :mad:

Mr Jones 25th June 2004 11:41

Instead of laughing at jokes I say "LOL" out loud for some reason.

I also use the word 'tard more often in conversation...

Widdykats 25th June 2004 11:47

I always knew men were sick and twisted individuals!
This place became more of an affirmation of that fact!
Thanks, Winamp! :D:up:

k_rock923 25th June 2004 15:02

I started saying pwned. It's difficult to pronounce. pee-owned. Like "I just peed and now the couch that I owned is gone"

Vie 25th June 2004 15:32

I now find myself saying "LOL" and "Pwnt" occationaly in normal conversation.

beanboy89 25th June 2004 15:56

Kids these days.

eleet-2k2 25th June 2004 20:58

An excessive use of LOL in my mind, wanting to escape verbally when I hear a joke...and the extreme loathing of humanity.





















I wasnt joking.




























Or was I?

I also use "<3" a lot now..

NJK 25th June 2004 21:09

sarcasm mostly - witty remarks - a better understanding of the english language - and some forum friends.(who also outside the forum keep in touch)

the last one more important than the others.

MidnightViper88 25th June 2004 21:12

I call people "n00bs" in real lif and use "pwnt" or "owned" alot...

Phyltre 26th June 2004 00:04

Interestingly enough, after watching all those flame wars and overheated discussions, I've learned a lot about the art of debate; specifically, just how often people go point-by-point, quote-by-quote in an endless cycle of pointpicking.

Naturally I'd never engage in such behavior.

I think.

billyvnilly 26th June 2004 00:37

^ r u referring to clone thread?


i said noob in public for the first time...whats worse it was to a girl. oh gaw..:cry:

Phyltre 26th June 2004 00:40

I'm not referring to that specifically, though it's an (perhaps the latest) example.

It reminds me to be methodical and walk a full 360 before making a statement, which I guess is a good thing. Because on the internet, the opponent is usually ravenous and will eat your relatives if the need arises.

Smeggle 26th June 2004 01:41

not so much a habit but a cure.. I suffer from 'Tourettes Syndrome' which can cause me to be well an obnoxious git..
I'd have to say the cure started here as this is more or less where I started on the net. I've noticed even offline now I swear a lot less and far less confrontational and aggressive.
It was the reason for banning swearing at my own place and find that has helped a lot as well..

But credit has to go to winamp for the start of all that...

dlinkwit27 26th June 2004 14:32

i spell shit weird. I stick "u"'s in words like "colour"

ick.

ElChevelle 26th June 2004 14:36

Consider me a freak among you "normal" people but I am able to distinguish the difference between the internet and real life.
If you carry your manneurisms into the outside world, you may need a worthy costume like:

ShyShy 26th June 2004 16:54

Thanks to the Brits/Irish/Scottish/Aussie's, I say "bloody" quite a bit in RL now. And then the other day, at another forum, I actually typed, "well, I can't be arsed to do it" which I've always seen as a British saying. I probably used it in the wrong context, but, yeah.

And I actually use "noob" in conversations, too.

And like dlink, my spelling of certain words are changing, besides, someone's trying to convert me to Aussie speak.

Dark Ninja 26th June 2004 17:17

i dont carry mannerisms from the net into real life ,
like EllChevelle it`s only internet,

get a grip ,

damn,had to check your name 4 times then Ell

just incase i got it right:p

xzxzzx 26th June 2004 19:24

I don't think I've picked up any mannerisms from the forums that I use anywhere but the forums. I might have said "pwned" in an IM once...
