The phrase "lmao" baffled me for about a year. I thought it was a form of calling someone a lame-o in E-language. :oops:

so, 99 hunting skill cape emote?

Shooting yourself, then eating your own meat.

 

Krj123 - Retired as of February 12, 2007. I've permanently left Repetitivescape for WoW. Fun while it lasted.

I get called a choob everyday it seems....what the hell is a choob!?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes please someone clear this up? Lol. I'm pretty sure it's yet another (brings the count to about infinity now) form of the word "noob".

Pirate Rosetta stone. Learn a language while you scape.

Sounds interesting, but these days how many people really speak Pirate?

It took me about 2 years to figure out that DW meant Don't Worry #-o

 

 

 

First I thought it was someone who made a really bad typo of TY or something

"rocking" is a bit of a stretch.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

...though the "lobbies" "swordies" phenomenon isn't a surprise. Any phrase by itself may seem ridiculous but take the total of the items sold everyday and you will find that pluralizing them makes communication much easier.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Many times the abbreviations help out our less than stellar spellars* #-o though any intentional shortening of a word has linguistic origins that are worthy of a research paper or two.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This topic honestly should get more attention than it is likely to get -- please remind me to search a few JSTOR <3: articles to jog my memory... :lol:

Values? What do they mean?

I never understood the whole "ftw" thing. It took me a long time to realize what people were actually saying, like a few others it seems. But, to be honest, I never really thought a game show like Hollywood Squares would be a trendsetter for online gaming, lol.

suprised that nobody said pking :|. when you say you're pking you say: *i'm player killing* but imo(<-- another one: in my oppinion, it took me 2 years to figure it out :^o ) it should be:*i'm killing players!* So every pker should say: *I am kping rawr.*

Can't think of any more that hasn't been said already.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ok people, here is what choob means.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Choob

 

 

 

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

 

 

Jump to: navigation, search

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The word choob can refer to a number of things, including:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

* Look choob or loog choob, a Thai sweetmeat where soy beans are mixed with coconut, formed into the shape of fruit or vegetables, and coated with gelatin. [1] [2]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

* Key Choob, the brand name for a tube made from neoprene that is placed around all but one key on a key ring. This allows a motorbike rider to avoid scratching their bike's paintwork. [3]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

* Choob, the common phonetic pronunciation of tube, a Scottish slang term denoting a foolish person. [4] Choob, a Scottish word describing a person committing or about to commit a foolish act.__Commonly heard in the Scottish offshore oil industry describing inexperienced or clumsy workers

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

* A rare variant of the word n00b or newbie.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kinda knew that, but why a Choob =\ easier to say noob.

What bothers me the most is how people type "buy lobbies" or "sell lobbies" instead of "buying" or "selling."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Exactly. This one is what i absolutely HATE!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If they say "Buy lobbies!"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then i am to take it as they are commanding me to buy some lobsters?

 

 

 

Not just for lobsters, for everything... "Buy guthan", "sell guthan"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Who are you to tell me what i should buy, lol?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Actually i understand what they mean, but i always say to them: "Don't tell me what i should buy, dude." And then they are ALWAYS confused and call me a noob. :(

as opposed to

 

 

 

free stuff please

 

 

 

or even

 

 

 

free stuff plz

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

it requires less thinking to type stuff without "leet" language. Much less it's way less annoying.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the other day i saw this guy in fally w2 saying

 

 

 

:Buying Runite Platebody:

It took me around 6 month's to discover that PKing is Player Killing. So I'll sign up for that one.

What does HYT mean? I see so many people saying it. Can you please send me this in my in box,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you,

Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.

I like it when an item first comes out and the day its first being sold people already add a "y" to it.

Can someone tell me what HYT means? I'm only guessing it means "Hi You Tip.it'er"

tifsbti6oi.gif

I just saw someone say "tomoz". I can only guess it means "tomorrow". :wall:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I saw a guy in Seers trying to sell flax, at first he went "sell flax 20k", but after standing there for a few minutes (I was fletching), he started going "I'm selling 200 pieces of flax for 20'000 gold pieces". I was so pleased I bought it off him even though I didn't need it.

Thanks to Star for the sig! | Click here or on the sig for my tewtally cool blog!

Dh for Dharok has to be one of the worst. Abby whips for abyssal whips is pretty bad as well. Most text messaging lingo such as 'wut' and '4' is pretty pathetic too. I type everything out even on my cellphone and these kids can't type one more character to make 'what.' It's kinda sad if you ask me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Personally, I'd rather spell everything out so I don't look like an illiterate or a 12 year old. In game and irl :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I happen to be twelve. People have to stereotype twelve-year-olds, don't they? >>

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyway, I always found that 'buy lobbz' and 'sel lobbz' are the most annoying, but 'Dh' for Dharok armour is irritating too--I keep thinking dragonhide. :/

A stereotype is always generally speaking. Which means there are always exceptions. Don't get offended by it, deal with it. You know just as me that we don't mean people like you. But well, other people.

Abby whip (as opposed to what...?)
:lol: thats a good one. The first time I heard that name I thought they were talking about some girl :oops:

 

 

 

I remember a phrase for the Abbey National bank. "Be the envy of your friends with an Abbey." I can't help to put a "whip" on the end. :lol:

No longer playing Runescape, I caught the WoW bug.
