Support NeoGAF

[SeriousApes]

ofc

I read it as "of fucking course", but I dunno if that's right.

 

[ink4n3]

There's a new term that GAF uses for relationships that I still dont understand... I forgot it... lol

Shipping? That really annoys me. I'm getting old...

 

[venomenon]

FTW = Fuck the world
Old ECW influence, obviously.

 

[Englebert3rd]

I thought idgaf was a GAF community dedicated to iD...

 

[Chittagong]

Count me into the SMH = so much hate club

Took me for ages to figure out, as the interpretation works most times.

 

[Subpar Scrub]

God I hate these obviously fake meme screenshots

Same.

In any case, not so much forum abbreviations, but I fucking hate how some droolies on Gaf will post the title of all games containing multiple words in an abbreviated format. ALL OF THEM.

Even when referencing some crazy bullshit French only SNES game that sold 14 units. It makes following a conversation infuriating sometimes.

I played some FGTOL this weekend and it reminded me of HZMSUSIDO. I forgot how slow that game is compared to THFGUSIMCOMFEPUMHZQUSIRM.

Yeah, this winds me up. Especially when some game abbreviations can potentially be two or more different games.

For a while, I though LTTP only meant Link to the Past. Made a lot of threads on the gaming side incredibly confusing...

This was me.

 

[Herne]

I always thought LTTP was Link To The Past, and in fact should be. It works just as well and is a nice little geeky/gamer reference.

I'm always forgetting what IDGAF means and keep thinking it has something to do with GAF.

 

[Tregard]

I thought that smh stood for So Much Hate, based on the context it was used in.

Also thought this, it makes about as much sense in most situations

 

[Rabid-Coot]

NSFW - Need space for wanking.

 

[B-B-Bomba!]

You would love Nexus mods (Skyrim, Fallout etc). Eg. If you're going to run with GDD, make sure you line up DOOF before it.

???

For me I always puzzled over FTFY. I thought it was some variant of "for the win."

GoW

SMB!

 

[Username1198]

TF- the fuck
HFN- hell fuckin no
TF-ten four

That's all I can contribute

 

[preta]

NSFW - Need space for wanking.

It effectively means the same thing, I guess...

 

[AmaterasuOkami076]

NSFW - Need space for wanking.

I lol'd. I love the idea of someone clearing space by moving furniture around the room before doing the deed.

 

[Drinkel]

I thought GOAT was people intentionally misspelling GOTY for some reason. Saying GOTY out loud kind of sounds like GOATY and screaming goat videos where kind of popular at the same time I started seeing it.

 

[Nachos]

I never realized brb was an initialism when I was a kid. I thought it was just a weird part of internet culture where you made a stupid onomatopoeia. So I'd basically pepper it throughout my messages and often extended the amount of Rs.

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrb.

 

[Orpheum]

I always thought RTTP is "Really late To The Party"

ME TOO, my goodness it all makes sense

 

[Nostremitus]

ofc

It's just "OF Course"

Super Meat Boy... I wonder if that was intentional...

 

[Baleoce]

For a while, I though LTTP only meant Link to the Past. Made a lot of threads on the gaming side incredibly confusing...

I thought LTTP was link to the past.

I always thought LTTP meant Link to the Past. Turns out it means Lift through the Pain.


*edit*
DAMMIT

I'm so glad I'm not the only one haha

 

[SJRB]

Tfw

Thy Face When, or so I thought...

 

[John Kowalski]

I want to be the goat goat.

 

[Nostremitus]

I've never seen TFW... Only FTW.

 

[Danneee]

Yep, took me about one GAF year until I realized what it meant (I very rarely clicked those threads). A very confusing year.

 

[MCN]

THFGUSIMCOMFEPUMHZQUSIRM.

To be fair, Tony Hawk's Full Grind Universe Skater Intense Mega-Cool Ollie Master Fast Extreme Pro Universe Medal-Hunting Zombie Quest Unbelievable Sports Internet Rollerskating Machine is pretty fast-paced.

 

[Arthr2ShdsJcksn]

Can you add HAM to the list, because I didn't know what that meant before a week ago, and people have started using it frequently

 

[Brokun]

I thought SMH was So Much Hate.

Also what is BAE?

 

[zer0blivion]

IANAL means I am not a lawyer. Boy that was embarrassing.

 

[UpperCaseN]

I thought FML was For the Motherfucking Loss, like FTW (for the win). I know what it is now but I can't reprogram my brain on how to read it

 

[cyborgnumberblue]

Here's a definitive list for you all:

 

[Phobophile]

IANAL means I am not a lawyer. Boy that was embarrassing.

I'm pretty sure that's actually Apple's foray in sex toys.

 

[Philly40]

I've started to see a worrying rise in the usage of 'ELI5' on here recently.

 

[Rest]

I've started to see a worrying rise in the usage of 'ELI5' on here recently.

Which means...?

 

[Plum]

Here's a definitive list for you all:

The "Beelzebub Rules Below" one kind of makes sense in certain circumstances.

"Just need to go to the toilet. BRB."

 

[CraigerGamer]

Today on the gaming side of GAF i learned that AFG meant, Alternative Reality Game, otherwise known as Blizzard kicking you in the nuts. At least I think that's what it means.

 

[Aurablade]

Which means...?

ELI5= Explain like I'm five.

 

[iosefe]

ITT: people learning that abbreviations suck


for a while i thought IIRC meant "if it really counts"
kinda like for what it's worth,

 

[Kotetsu534]

Used to read 'LTTP' as "late to the past" (as if it was referencing Zelda: LTTP, which I was much more familiar with).

 

[maxcriden]

I always get confused about ITT, aka In This Thread, as in "ITT we discuss confusing abbreviations."

 

[MicH]

This thread is hilarious

 

[Nostremitus]

I always get confused about ITT, aka In This Thread, as in "ITT we discuss confusing abbreviations."

Yeah, when I first saw it I thought it had something to do with Information Technology.

 

[scorcher59]

OT how about FOH?
Fuck Outta Here
as in "FOH with dat shit"

 

[Nostremitus]

sure

edit: Damn... I'll have to start organizing these things soon, lol.

 

[Whales]

the ones I always forget are YMMV and FWIW

quit using those, they suck

 

[Sora the Cat]

SMH might aswell mean "So Much Hate" too, based on how much people confuse it.

 

[NCR Redslayer]

Afaik means as for all i know right?

 

[Whales]

Afaik means as for all i know right?

as far as I know

 

[Sora the Cat]

[Chezzymann]

jakncoke used to use the smiley emoticon all the time which was : lol

When the smiley emoticon was removed, instead of typing :lol people would type :jnc to replace it since he was so fond of it. Mostly an NFL thing that leaked to the rest of gaf.

Shit I thought it was like "just in case" or something
