Favorite Internet-inspired word?

I really detest when people use Google as a verb. I know that language is constantly evolving, but "to google" is quite silly.

I used to say "lol" (lawl) to get a laugh out of my friends. Sometimes I say "what the heck" for a lark, too. That catches people off guard. Good times.

What does "ftw" mean? It's like that has come out of nowhere, and I have no idea what it means.

I disagree. It's a fair bit shorter to say "I Googled it" than "I did a search for it online," so it's linguistically efficient.

For The Win, usually.

I see some people here use the word 'epic win.' What does it mean? I never heard of that word and my friends don't use that word.

It means that something/someone is really really great, amazing, better than everything else, etc. It's like a higher version of pwn, sorta.

Agreed with Moongewl's disagreement. I use it all the time now.

Plus, it's been added to the dictionary as a real word for a couple of years now.

[DM was on fire!]

Epic win, epic fail, Google, and random words use in lolcats.
All of which I use. Out loud. In real life. With my parens around. XD

I say doubleyou tee eff out loud rather often. And "I can has ______?" sometimes. And fail.

Fail = 1st place.
GG = 2nd.
