Ever call a friend on simping, thirsting, or dry begging?

Here's a word for Slayven: obfuscation

Your overall story/point is not well served by deliberately choosing such odd language.

Thirsting is just lusting, and dry begging is just whining.

Although i sort of like "simping".
 
i understood the op perfectly

then i felt bad reading the first page of replies



am i a bad person for knowing those terms

I do this for actual words, not bullshit like aizen
 
Some of you are clearly speaking English, but I can't understand.
Somebody call a linguist!
 
Just leave that situation and go bowling or something. If your literally talking to your friends (fake?) gf's dad?

If it's that bad, why the hell would you hang on in that situation man?

Your better than that my man. Don't simp off your friend who's simping off some girl

That's the circle of simp son

Okay, I don't feel as lame for not knowing that one.

Bullshit. Sure, this works for the odd word where there is a chance you're the one simply lacking a bit of fairly-common knowledge, but if you write a post for a public forum you should try to make some sort of attempt to make it widely understandable. GAF isn't your circle of bros. People here have no responsibility to research your esoteric lingo rather than call out your social ineptitude.
 
is simping different than being friendzoned? I knew it as that.

or, you know, pathetic/desperate

Dry begging isn't whining, it's being circumspect. And thirsting is sort of a cross between being needy and being horny.

are the suburb kids the ones who dont understand Slayven or the ones who do?

I wonder this too, since I'm not a suburb kid or an urban kid. I grew up in the ghetto but it has been a long time away and now I'm just small town america.

Indubitably.

I am not certain what kind of unorthodox hooligans populate this Internet message board but all blacks I am in acquaintance with would never deign to use such an abrasive dialect as this. Quite ridiculous.

To put it in terms you guys can understand, have you ever called a friend out on "NeoGaf Girl-Age Thread'ing" a girl?
Click to expand...


lol. Girl-Age thread is the Tourette's friend of this forum. You just sit there, hoping there are no small children around and pretending not to hear anything.
 
The 'out' is assumed.

I've witnessed this.


Hell, I even took part when I was in second grade for this one cute redhead in my class. She shot me down, crushed my young hopes, and introduced me to my elementary school bullies who went so far as to send me to the hospital once after kicking me in my eye.

I met her again in 8th grade and she was covered in freckles and desperate. Shooting her down was cathartic.


A girl used to simp on me when I was in high school. Asian chick that I had no real interest in physically but I found her signs of affection to be tender. Not sure how to word it. I turned her down softly just before graduation and she hated me for it.


I just returned from a business trip where this was happening non-stop between a girl and a married man who was just about to be re-united with his wife. He told her that she could never be his love or even his mistress. She was sad :(


Other than those instances, can't say that I've seen it too much and never as bad as an instance in the OP.
 
I'm suprised with all the gamers here, people are struggling with hissatsu.

This thread may not be the best example, but I see posts with people complaining about not knowing what x subject is way too often on GAF. For example, there have been times where someone will make a thread about a US celebrity/pop star and you'll get a bunch of people on the first page asking who the fuck the celebrity is. In the time it takes for you to type that post and wait for someone to give you an answer, you could have gotten the answer from Google in seconds.

But going back to your last sentence, it's silly to feel the need to "call out" someone on an internet message board over slang/word usage, especially if your only reason for doing so is because of what you consider common knowledge or not in terms of words in a community filled with people from different walks of life. Like when posters from other countries post topics/discuss subjects on this forum that may be unique to their country of origin there are plenty of US gaffers who have no idea what they are talking about (and you'll often see similar questions being asked in those threads over their word choices). Do you think it's a good idea to go into those threads and point out their use of "esoteric lingo"? IMO it's better for you and everyone else if you just not post at all and let the thread live or die from actual discussion about the OP.

To be fair, I think Slayven knew exactly what he was doing when he made this thread.
 
Slayven said:
I usually leave it alone because it is kind of one of those things folks need to learn about the hard way. But if it gets self destructive(other then self respect wise) or that shit starts affecting me then I have to say something.

Like for example, my bud Daniel worked IT for a mental hospital and he got sprung on a nursing assistant. But it was clearly one sided, she would only call when she needed her car or computer fixed or whatever. I never said anything, others did including a friend he use to crush hard on.

So one day he he called me to see if I wanted to go to the movies, I said cool. We meet up and tells me he had to run an errand. I said cool to. The errand was to the chick's house, where I and the girl's roommate watched in silence as he went through the simp mating ritual. Getting shot down left and right. It was brutally apparent to everyone this girl had no interest in him.

Finally he played what to him was his hissatsu trump card, he invited her and her roommate out with us. I was cool with that, but she Aizen that shit by saying she had plans with her family. Dan still wouldn't give up, he dry begged an invite from her to go with her and her family.

Anyway long story short, I spent the better part of the night explaining to her dad the difference between balsamic vinegar and regular vinegar. While tanking dirty looks from her red neck family. No fun was had by anyone.


I continue to this day to roast his ass about that shit. But he did eventually learn his lesson.

No, it is because people here come from different walks of life that one should try to be more general. It's not silly to call someone out, it is educating them on the fact of who they are communicating with. I think the response justifies itself. If there were no problem with the initial communication, it wouldn't get that kind of response. If it's small enough, I think people often do look it up themselves. If it's common enough, I think complainers do get backlash that they should have just looked it up. However here you have the majority complaining and the few people who have provided definitions had to look it up themselves. I don't feel full responsibility always falls on the reader.

Like when posters from other countries post topics/discuss subjects on this forum that may be unique to their country of origin there are plenty of US gaffers who have no idea what they are talking about (and you'll often see similar questions being asked in those threads over their word choices).

Not comparable at all.

IMO it's better for you and everyone else if you just not post at all and let the thread live or die from actual discussion about the OP.

And again, I disagree. It doesn't matter if it isn't productive to the specific conversation the OP wanted to have. It is productive in teaching the OP a lesson so a big mess of confusion doesn't happen again. It also brings the issue into light so more people can be open about their confusion and clarification can be provided so that the intended conversation has a hope of starting, just as it has in this thread since the terms were defined for everyone.
 
yeah, im pretty obnoxious about it too. i want my bros to have some self respect so i have no problem being vocal when i think theyre being punks. i expect the same from them as well.

thankfully since were all alpha males now, weve been simp-cident free for over 3 years and counting
