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

3,747 September 16, 2010 at 03:11 PM in Rant
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.

maybe the phrase was coined by hardcore gamers, not 100%. either gamers or techies. either way if you're neither or then stfu with words that do not apply to wtf you're talking about.

im glad a couple people understand where im coming from. its ok if used in the right context, other than that its annoying as hell.

Number of posts is almost worthless, your join date and reps are much more important.
