as in coolitude, wordatude, wrongitude [goats.com]

I have been seeing it all over the place and more more frequently on *gasp* the board!

thoughts? opinions?
does it denote lack of culture? or a tap into the changing pop and sub culture?
discuss.

Even worst: longitude and latitude.

In Response to Phobos (#13699):

way to take the thread in a different direction.

Right, sorry. I haven't heard someone use "tude" in a long time, but in my opinion, it denotes a lack of intelligence more than culture.

Speaking of a lack of intelligence, I heard someone actually say "L-O-L" the other day. There were so many emotions and feelings at the time, I couldn't do anything but sit there in awe. Erm, does this detract from the subject also? Sorry, I have a short attention span.

Either he want to control the vertical and the horizontal...

Or he wants to go both ways.

In Response to Phobos (#13702):

Don't apologise. You did give the original subject all the attention it required...

Cheers,
Graham

In Response to Phobos (#13702):

I've heard people uses "LOL" and "BRB" in real life, but always in an ironic manner.

In Response to Evander (#13710):

Unfortunately, I didn't detect a hint of irony in the entire conversation. I was likely, however, paralyzed by the shock of it.

In Response to Phobos (#13702):

yeah, I know people like that as well, i play poker with one and she always says stupid stuff, like OMG! and LOL! and "i need to GTFO"

In Response to kornz (#13712):

GTFO?

I must be old, I don't know what that means.

In Response to Phobos (#13713):

Get The Fawk Out (?)

In Response to Phobos (#13713):

GTFO?

A few possibilities:

• Get the french onions
• Go to Franklin, Ohio
• Give Tyler five octopi
• Grill the fresh okra
• Guess the full occupancy
• Get tickets for opera
• Grow the fragrant oranges

Humbly submitted...

In Response to Teledildonix (#13714):

You got it [urbandictionary.com].

Well, maybe you are right (In the sense that others agree with you). It looks like there are more possibilities when I looked again at the link that I put up. Eh. "LOL." ick. i never really thought of "tude" as a suffix. i mean. what is the root of attitude? longitude? etc...

In Response to Phobos (#13702):

It's a sad world when people are getting too lazy to actually laugh. Clowns will cry. Oh. Yes. They will cry.

In Response to delight (#13719):

Just for clarification. Is there any particular reason to post three times to the same discussion in less than nine minutes?

I don't mean to be an uber buttmonkey here but I'm just checking to see if I need to get the bat and a dead horse.

In Response to Yoshi (#13722):

One valid reason is to post separate responses to separate parties (e.g., the three messages were apparently addressed to Teledildonix, to the forum as a whole, and to Phobos).

Another reason is because people around here often appreciate short posts (and have been known to ridicule or berate long ones), so sometimes "brevity is the sole of etc."

In Response to Yoshi (#13722):

Another reason, such as in this post here, is because people like me sometimes fail to speak everything on their mind, then wish to add a tiny bit more. In this case: i don't think you're an uber buttmonkey. I think you had a valid question that deserved a meaningful answer.

In Response to Teledildonix (#13724):

And trust us, Teledildonix knows uber buttmonkeys.

He's practically an expert on buttmonkeys. And buttpirates. And buttcoyboys.

And well nigh the entire butt industry.

In Response to zamphir (#13729):

well nigh the entire butt industry

They're all rather fed up with me, actually, because i do all of my work pro bono, ruining their profit model.

Free Love, Baby! And possibly buttmonkitude.

In Response to zamphir (#13729):

Lest us not forget ass goblins.

In Response to Phobos (#13733):

Only the good-Las-Vegas-kind. What happens there, stays there.

In Response to daubergoat (#13716):

Grab the frightened orangutan?

In Response to Yoshi (#13722):

There's nothing inherantly bad about making several short posts, if each post has a point, they aren't redundent, and it makes sense within the structure of the discussion. In fact, sometimes it's a Good Thing[tm] to do, because it avoids things like replying to one comment and addressing a point in a different one (which makes the discussion harder to read).

Personally, my guideline for whether I think a posting behavior is "bad" is: does it make the discussion (or the forum as a whole) less enjoyable or harder to follow and read? If so, it is bad.

For example, replying in a discussion and posting something totally off-topic when you could just start a new discussion. That would be bad.
