So now when people make funny comments online (I have seen this a lot in Facebook), someone usually responds with "snort." Is this the new "LMAO"??? Who invents this stuff? I'm trying to figure out a way to invent something like this and get royalties every time someone uses it. :teddyr:
I am not familiar with "snort" but then again, I don't do FB.
We only use "rofl" and "lol" at the other forum chat I hang out. If somebody should "snort" I'm going to slap that person with the huge trout command for sure.

"SNAKE BITE" me too... :)
I thought snorting was inhaling drugs and/or gettin' mucus outta ya throat!
I could almost see a FB conversation executed as such:
(something somehow classified as humorous is posted)
User #1: Snort!
User #2: Guffaw!
User #3: Chortle!
Retrorussell: Oy vey, you suck.
I always thought *chuckle* was going to take off... never did.
I haven't seen "rotflmao" in a long time. I do like "lulz" though.
We need to just flick through the dictionary and pick a word at random, and see if we can get it to take off.
I remember some comedian talking about when you're British you can pretty much say any word in the right context and people will know what you're talking about:
"Oh man I got so car-parked last night."
I figure the same applies to internet slang.

Well its certainly a start, now we just need a context to use it in! Any suggestions?
I prefer onomatopeia that indicate how funny I find something. If I find something mildly amusing, I might go with a "tee hee." If I actually do laugh out loud, I might go with a "BWA HA HA *snort* HA HA HA!"
As for the random word: "How sarcoma was that?" Because nuts to properly using words.
Yeah, half the fun of the English language is that we can pretty much change it as we see fit, and if we get enough people doing it, it becomes part of the language!
'I'm going to sarcoma the crap out of that dinner?'

:bluesad: I suck at random wording.
my word is Mahabharata
:question:
Heh, I got toast, but these are just actual words, not made up frankenstien-esque words that have become part of the public consciousness.
If we could make up any abbreviated slang-type word, what would it be? What would it mean?

IRETU - "I'd rather eat Trevor's underpants."
Usage:
"Want to go see the newest Michael Bay movie?"
"Dude, IRETU."

Done. I approve highly of this. I'd IRETU than entertain any other options! [it doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, but that doesn't matter.]
Now someone needs to mention it next time there's a political thread:
IRETU than let [insert politician-enemy here, followed by controversial policy.]
OR
Using IRETU as a new rating system for skull-movies [like Rev mentioned]. Proper english has no place in slang, so I'd ideally use it in the sentence: That movie was a total iretu. Sounds wierd, but it's totally usable.
:thumbup:
IRETU than listen/see/vote for politics!
