ReZourceman Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 I invented a new abreviation. Im spreading it, hopefully you will use it and make it famous. Its kinda the oppsoite of "FTW" CSMB = Can suck my balls. E.g. "People who do wrongful things to animals CSMB" Or "Racist people CSMB" Cool?
Cube Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 IRttT, I think FTW is way overused, but CSMB is much better than FTL. edit: fixed typo
ReZourceman Posted January 12, 2007 Author Posted January 12, 2007 On this forum FTW is hurrendously overused. TBH IIRC Ive never even heard it on other sites. WTF is WTL?
The3rdChildren Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 But... but... it could also stand for such things as: Cained Super Mario Bros. Campbells Spicy Meat Balls
Letty Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 I would like to use this, but as far as you know, I dont have balls
weeyellowbloke Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 WTF, IMO FTW CSMB, LOL. Ugh, I feel so dirty, so very dirty.
Rummy Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 I would like to use this, but as far as you know, I dont have balls It doesn't matter, it's the internets and no one will ever know! As for CSMB, I like it. FTL CSMB.
dabookerman Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 This is not the place to go making up memes. It really isn't.
Shorty Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 Trying to force memes rarely works, but good luck I guess.
Supergrunch Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 By the way, out of interest, do most internet geeks etc. who use the term meme know who invented it and for what purpose? I always wonder what he thinks (if he knows) of the way it's used now.

I always wonder what he thinks (if he knows) of the way it's used now. I first heard the word meme used by the genius himself, Hideo Kojima. I am almost certain most webfolk use it on that basis
Supergrunch Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 I first heard the word meme used by the genius himself, Hideo Kojima. I am almost certain most webfolk use it on that basis It comes from Richard Dawkins, the famous atheist zoologist from Oxford. He used it in The Selfish Gene to describe Religion... But this use of the word is right. He'd probably approve.
McMad Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 I first heard the word meme used by the genius himself, Hideo Kojima. I am almost certain most webfolk use it on that basis Haha I heard Hideo say it too. He was talking some crap about MGS theme being Gene, the MGS2 theme being Meme and the MGS3 theme being Scene, I think that's right. What a load of crap...
dabookerman Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 Haha I heard Hideo say it too. He was talking some crap about MGS theme being Gene, the MGS2 theme being Meme and the MGS3 theme being Scene, I think that's right. What a load of crap... You have lost a month of your life now But yeah, Gene was about passing information through DNA: Big Boss - Solid, Solidus, Liquid etc etc Meme: Passing information digitally, wall paintings > books > da intanet
Supergrunch Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 Meme: Passing information digitally, wall paintings > books > da intanet Yeah, that kind of it. "A unit of cultural information transferable from one mind to another." Of course the internet, or 4chan or whatever can act as the culture.
McMad Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 You have lost a month of your life now Son of a bitch, you just cost me my free month on World of Warcraft... You'll pay for this....
dabookerman Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 Yeah, that kind of it. "A unit of cultural information transferable from one mind to another." Of course the internet, or 4chan or whatever can act as the culture. Yeah, 4chan has hugely contributed to a lot of the memes we see today e.g orly owl, pedobear. Fact is, the site 4chan is a meme in itself, because its derived from 2ch. Its one big fat family tree.
Shorty Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 Yeah yeah we looked it up on Wikipedia too 'grunch
Dyson Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 Yeah, 4chan has hugely contributed to a lot of the memes we see today e.g orly owl, pedobear. Fact is, the site 4chan is a meme in itself, because its derived from 2ch. Its one big fat family tree. POOL'S CLOSED!
