Obviously SOMEONE understands it, or it wouldn't
be used, now would it? And here's a hint: ALL languages
are "made-up" - they're artificial constructs, with no real
inherent meaning.

Do you often visit foreign countries and insult the people
there, because they're using a language that YOU don't
understand (which seems to be your real problem here)?

Not necessarily, but one would *like* to think that.

They do a good job of conveying it though.

Well, by default, usenet chatrooms are in English. My
newsfeed gets a bunch *.de groups where I suspect they
write in Scandinavian or something.

100% wrong. Asieoniezi, for example, shown the inherent
oneness of all things by its very construction. YOU BOZO.

What's the point of insulting them if they don't understand
English? YOU BOZO.

I think the orignal poster was complaining about the acrostics people
like to use on this BBS, like "LOL" (Laughing Out Loudly), "ROTFL"
(Rolling On The Floor Laughing), and "WTF" (Waves To Friends). But
these are pretty well known and you should be able to figur them out.

No, I'm pretty sure it's "bronze". After all, Ben Grimm was from that
part of the country, and very fond of this sort of "raspberry". And he
was a sort of bronze color, which is appropriate since his DC Comics
character originated the bronze cheer.

No, it's not a tea group for this thread. The
thread gathered the trolls from a list of
groups, some composed solely of trolls.
The best way for us at rfdt to make it go
away is to *not* post to it. (I've removed
the other groups from this post so it goes
only to rfdt people.)

Yes, although sadly misquoted. But I'd been using it as a .signature for
