when did it become ok for everyone to use the words "epic" and "fail?"

3,747 September 16, 2010 at 03:11 PM
i have been thinkin about this all day. farkin makes me mad when people who are not "techies" use "epic" and "fail" when they shouldn't.

i know this douche who said the other day, "i made this epic omelete." loser

whats even worse is when those same people say "that was an epic fail" for something completely unrelated to computers. are you farkin kidding me!? all of the sudden everyone starts using facebook and now they think they're techies that can throw around those words.

JUST BECAUSE YOU USE FACEBOOK DOESN'T GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO USE "epic" AND "fail" ALL THE TIME.

get a life gawd dang dweebs.

And why are those terms somehow computer limited? Pass/Fail was in place long before computers, as was the term "Epic"


Computer geeks can have "lulz", as that is the dumbest thing ever

i understand those words have been around for a long time...problem is people are now using them in the wrong way.

i cant remember a time when someone fell on their face and someone screamed "epic fail." its retarded and not funny. it makes that person look like an ed hardy clothes wearing douche.

When did it become acceptable for people under 30 to use the phrase "get a life" or to call people dweebs?

i consider dweebs a lower class of human race than geeks/nerds. so dweebs are pretty low on the totem pole. i havent used that word lately and i do not use it lightly.

geeks/nerds have a chance on getting laid...dweebs are life virgins.
