Internet-isms

Recommended Posts

For those of you that had been around the 'net for more than a few years, what are some of your favorite Internet-isms ? You know, the things people find on the Internet that catch on and you send the link to all your friends and soon everyone is talking about it or laughing about it and sharing with all their friends, etc...

Please no random links - post true Internet-isms that have become popular or insanely stupid or both.

Here's some of the ones I can think of off the top of my head:

edit: Links are firefox friendly. Not sure about other POS browsers. :P

AYBABTU
Weeeeeee!
Star Wars Kid
badgerbadgerbadger
Peter Pan

Naw, there were other "internet-isms" long before that. The problem were that nobody knew them at the time, since only a small percentage of the population was online at the time. A lot of those folks were only online through the large BBS companies that used the TRW network to connect with: Prodigy, AOL, CompuServ, etc. So a lot of the true Internet-isms are lost on a lot of folks.

For instance, do you know what "foodp" means? Or how many folks connected to the old l0pht bbs and read the archives? Captain Crunch's whistle was all the delight before the 4ESS brought everything out of band. Stuff like that.:)

Do you mean the Turkish phenomenon Mahir?

YES!!! That's the one. Man, did that stir up the Internetizens. Just think that someone could advertise themselves and get so many responses and traffic to his site. The Internet was not the same after that guy popped up.
