Do you have any insult/comment that makes you irrationally sad or angry?
" Uh, what kind of serious conversations use "inb4"? It's a meme directed at memes, it's putting the lampshade on the oneshot replies which are usually repeated ad nausium. So in your example I'm guessing "MS" is a serious reply requiring further discussion, not a funny retort. People will use the phrase to incite a reaction, or to try and preempt and shut down valid arguments, but that doesn't stop the memes and arguments from coming anyways. Using it where it's ineffective as a punchline is doing it wrong, it's best used to be funny and direct the flow of exchange, not to really hamper discussion and troll people, though anyone can say (effectively) "don't tell me such-and-such" and still not strike the right comedic chord. People are unfunny all the time. The trick to "inb4" is to say something first and have it mean "someone's going to say X", where X is a much referenced, brief, contained idea (meme). If someone says inb4 after everyone's said it, it would be funny in an ironic spectacle of failure instead. I'm not trying to defend shutting ideas down, but believe me, almost nobody respects "inb4" as a serious restraint on the thread. It's a nod to those oft repeated ideas. Also, if the original poster does the "inb4" on their own topic, it just comes off as defensive and not funny at all. It's like nervous laughter to deflect some sort of imagined slight, instead of a knowing satirical jeer. Last edited by ionface#0613 on Mar 1, 2014, 8:02:53 PM

CharanJaydemyr is feeling feisty!
I saw this last time before we went out of Beta. People were getting on each others nerves and it isn't necessary. The patch will be here soon, so now let's all play nice.

Or not. I'm bored too.

Guys guys, this is just a nice place to chat about the little things that irk us, but it's not a thread to insult people about their pet peeves. Please play nice.
Also, @Kleen. I generally say I'm "grilling" something or using a "grill," but I usually see Barbecue as a sauce or an event. For instance, I don't say I'm going to a Grill, I say I'm going to a Barbecue. It just sounds like a nice and fun word for an event, like "Picnic."

" When your elf has a stick up his arse, just mix some Legolax in his drink and watch that fellow mellow! Legolax - if you need your elf unclenched NOW. (Yeah, I's bored.) 12/12/12 - the day Germany decided boys are not quite human.

Legolax has changed my life! Before Legolax I was just another elf with a stick up my ass.

I envision legolax as more of a DIY lax kit for kids.
You won't get no glory on that side of the hole.
