Favorite ILM or ILX tropes

I think we did the injoke/meta thing more back then might be why? LIke I'd forgot all about 8080 - that came from nowhere, made no sense, but stuck for a while anyway.

The image I tried and failed to post earlier featuring the origin of 'hen fap' from The Onion:

i mean, how can you beat "otm"? i've typed "otm" on facebook and on twitter and in texts countless times before realizing no one knows what i'm talking about

Lol. Me too.

Reviewing that pic now I am wondering why "my potholder hurts" didnt get more traction.

Lonely guy just thinkin bout otm

Threat of the artist

OTM is still part of my brain

"people that YELP are scumbags" pops into my head at least once a week

how i break it down to certain extent.

"blood diamonds"/"8080"

i enjoy seeing current/former ilxors use the terminology in a professional context -- 'why is _______ so bad and hated' is one i remember for sure

Gaz Coombes

why because she look intersting

Yeah, I have a real hard time making myself spell 'intersting' the way the rest of the world spells it.

For the love of all things holy, how has 'I can't turn my face into a heart' not shown up here yet?!?

you waste. you little man.

Him sad in his room?

this planit is fucked up and its like god is a crul ringmaster

Have definitely uttered "so not gonna happen" IRL

joeks, beuv

grebt

wait, OTM is strictly an ilx thing? I'm having trouble wrapping my head around that.

Man troll gas beany jim jam.

i still say 'grebt' out loud.

thinking we need a 'rest of the internet' tropes thread for things like 'Let that sink in'. It would be very annoying.

I have said grebt out loud too.

Also, once while scolding my son for something, I told him that whatever he was doing was 'not a good look'.

NAGL is one of my least favorite ILX tropes, tbrrwu

When I'm having a conversation with someone and refer back to something they said two minutes ago, I always preface myself with "xpost."

Not really.

Sadly, NAGL is not confined to this board

There’s a guy at work who always waits until everybody’s had their say before dropping a five-minute, calmly reasoned argument that seems to synthesize everything that’s been said, and then when he’s done there’s like a ten second stretch of silence while everyone processes what they just heard and at the end of which I think to myself: “nabisco otm”

Oh man WHILE reading that and progressing thru “5 minute calmly reasoned” my brain chimed in “like nabisco,” i shit u not

Ha! Xp

my least favorite trope would be "brexit negging". i don't know what it is but it sounds terrible.

also i think i have had nightmares about the "innocent smoothies aesthetic". i don't know what that is either but it sounds like something out of a horror movie.

still trying to work out what tbrr stands for

temp ban: rick-roll

Always laugh whenever I see a Nike SB logo

remember when "grocery groin" was briefly a thing

Also: TURN BACK YOU POXY FULE

to be really real! even i know that one.

"detrius" being in the year-end movie thread title as a tradition

*Outside Chicken Not House Chicken* is still going to the be the title of my autobiography.

jaymc.xls long after jaymc stopped posting regularly, when it was no longer true (if it ever was) and was symbolic of a person who knew everyone's personal deets
that is probably my favorite because it's so untranslatable to other contexts and yet serves/served its purpose
