But do you use these abbreviations in real life? If so, you are truly a king of shorthand.

For the win is gay.

And saying "gay" to mean "bad" is 1,000 worse than swearing.

edit: Also, isn't racism and similar stuff against the rules?

I thought it meant Fuck The What the first few times I saw it, but then someone asked and I was enlightened. I still read it as that sometimes, mind.

While your blunt comment is a bit rude and probably just there to make you look cool, I'll just elaborate on my point. When I want to know these things, I usually just hit google and have the answer in a couple of seconds. I probably use the little google bar in firefox more than I do the location bar.

I'm not saying there's a problem with asking people, just that if you want to know these kinds of things there's such a quick way to find out. Sure it's open to discussion and you're welcome to ask or make a thread about it, but if it was something that was bothering you for a while, it's so easy to find the answer in a few clicks.

And I believe the word you were looking for was "sociable".
