learned a new Internet term. Has anyone else heard of "Thumping," which I take to mean posting about your undying love for someone? The kids on my LOTR forum keep posting "Thumps" about Orlando Bloom. Are there any other meanings? BTW, they never use the term, "Spam", there.

Wow...it's like looking into a different world :D

I've never heard of 'thumping' as an internet term, Attalus.

I'm getting old. Thumping has always been a bad thing in my vernacular. ;) [img]smile.gif[/img]

yeah PSO-world had its own language too. With words like "Wall hugging", "fanimation", and "X-boxers". It also had misdemeaning terms like "Fo Sheezy" and "Be A Berry". TSFO SnApple Alone coined 200 terms all about cats, ranging from "Nyan Co" to "Cactus Fish!" to "Mrruckit"

<font color="#ffccff">LLAO Attalus :D You learned a new word ;) hehehe

Well Im all thumpped about this place!</font>

I am further informed that the preferred term is "Thud." As in, "OMG, whenever I think of Orlando, my heart goes 'thud.'" LOL, kids!

Sorry, it's not in the Jargon lexicon so it doesn't count! :D

And what would some of those mean? :D

w00t!

Weird lingo you've got there Attalus :D

Thump=undying love for someone

The connection is so obvious :D

LOL, it's used by a bunch of young (early teens, I think) kids on my LOTR forum. They have names like "LovinLegolas."

Kids now-a-days Attalus...with their hippity hoppity rubbish and their weird lingo.

What happened to the good old days of sitting outside your house and sharing a few lols with your friends?

I tell you we're a dying breed you and I...soon they won't even rely on text emotions..they'll use those new fangled emoticons for everything, there'll be one in every post 10 years from now mark my words.

Yep,yep,yep *sips beer and tugs at his jacket*

On a serious note can I have a link to that forum Attalus?

Sure, here is the LOTR Movie forum. and here is the much more serious Tolkein Forum.

"THUD" that's the same noise I made last night when I fell off my Bed. My head still has a bump on it.

Never heard that but heard. Don't think there is any love on bnet we get all words like Nub, noob, noobie, newb, pwnage, ownage, owned. Not that this has anything to do with the kind your talking about so......i'm just gonna go now.

And what would some of those mean? :D </font>[/QUOTE]Let me have a go at them [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Wall hugging- Where a character hugs the wall (is very close to the wall in a game such as in CS)
Fanimation- Isn't that an anime company? [img]tongue.gif[/img]
X-boxers- Someone who has an X-Box and plays that X-box
Fo Sheezy- Something to do with cheese? :D
Be A Berry- errr...ummm...relating to berries? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Congrats Attalus ;)

LOL! "Laser chicken" What a great site! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Actually, most boards have their own vernacular. What you term spamming here, is called flapping on another board I am on.

It depends on what the community of the board comes up with. [img]smile.gif[/img]

While we are on the subject

Gosh this is embarising ... but i,ve been on this site for a few months and i can not work out what LOL and LLAO mean. please answer this and then we need never talk about it again

Oh the shame!

[img]graemlins/crying.gif[/img]

LOL is laugh out loud, LMAO is laughing my ass off. I'd imagine that LLAO is something similar.

Hehehe LOL! [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

LLAO is an irreverent inside joke refering to a certain moderator and is very similar to LMAO - Laughing L's A Off.
