FabSwingers.com forum: WTF?!!!

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

I saw this elsewhere but it made me laugh so I am sharing it:

As a rule of thumb, "WTF?" can be translated as "I am an idiot and I am basing my outrage on this incomplete and sensationalist news story".

How do you view WTF? and other online exclamations?

"as a lack of intelligence."

Not just laziness of thought?

I see it as a kinda fun language for the kids, if it helps them communicate with each other then what's the problem?

"as a lack of intelligence."

Why is it a lack of intelligence...I use it on occasion and I do not consider that I lack intelligence...

WTF! I have no visual previous nor conceptual understanding of what I have just seen/has just taken place. I have no way of responding other than to exclaim loudly so that those to whom I am audible begin to think that a disservice has been done to me and they wrongly focus their moralising tuts on a nearby genius who understands what I didn't.

I met a young local politician (not local to me and not in a Fab way) last night who ends all sorts of statements with "Boom!"

I need to learn modern English.

Good point. I do use the eyeballs and it really isn't any different to "WTF?".

WTF? - rarely used exclamation when I honestly cannot believe my eyes, whether I am seeing something amazing or reading something colossally stupid.

It also makes for a good LOL substitute when you don't abbreviate anywhere over three letters at a time eg LMAO, LOFL, LMFAO, ROTFL or ROTFFL

In my view as a linguist, they are a unstoppable evolution of language and communication!

I recently bought them as stickers from a shop in Oxford and I understand them all....apart from one...FML ?? Grateful for any help

It means "fuck my life". Generally uttered by stroppy teenagers when they have a minor disappointment.

I reserve wtf?! for watching episodes of Dynamo: Magician Impossible

I don't use wtf or pmsl or anything like that, I don't like them and I just don't speak in that way. I don't use lots of exclamation marks or use the terms 'end of' or fact either.

As for smilies I never use those to put points across either. I only ever use two smilies and they are

. I only use these as a way to end a post. Just leaving a post with a full stop doesn't look as nice. I put my point across with clear, concise wording. I have no need or desire to use anything else

I have a friend that frequently puts 'FML' as her status on facebook. She's one of the main reasons I don't bother going on there anymore.

Sometimes. He's white and a bit posh too. All very odd.

I liked that episode of "Modern Family" where the hipster Dad was trying to show how "cool" he was with the kids and explained the terms, concluding "WTF - Why the Face?"

I find WTF useful on mediums like Twitter where characters are limited. Also useful on profiles like Grindr where you're limited to 20 characters for a profile tag line and the idiots have just rejected my profile picture that's the same as the one here. My "tag line" now reads "Photo rejected. WTF?!"

Sometimes it's good to vent with a WTF.
