Didnt really pay attention to context or spelling, more like reading through words derived from a foreign language

    I can use all of these to talk about a rousing game of football:

    Newcastle United Fuck The What! We can’t lose against Man United again SoMetHing.

    MotherFuWwer Joelinton misses an absolute sitter 😨 (Some internet famous Lorem Ipsum)

    On my way

    *Oh My What. Fuck This, Fuck You.

    The Fuck What we’re actually winning Happy cat emoticon. Howeh the lads 0⁷(dunno how to subscript on my phone so this is the best you get)

    >85 minutes later

    We lost again‽ First Flayer Shooter!

      I love when people make the effort to do this kind of stuff and I got the opportunity to have someone do it for my post.

      Thanks dude. You have made my day…

    So much hate

    (Until I figured out this acronym a couple years back, the internet was a much angrier place for me. )

    I always pronounce FFS in my head. I imagine it’s the person breathing out in frustration.

    It would be better if people wrote out the words so 1 - there is no misunderstandings and 2 - we know they know how to spell. 😉

      Pretty sure that was the original meaning; see also SMDH. The head shaking is the kid friendly version.

        I’m pretty sure this can’t be true lol

        Edit: decided to look into it further and found this page with an interesting tidbit from 2013 regarding dilution of Google search results:

        While finding out what SMH stands for took about 10 seconds, it’s what I noticed along the way that really struck me - Google’s search results for SMH. I always like to examine interesting first page search results whenever I run across them so we can all better understand the direction search is headed. Before I dive into the details, take a look at the screenshot (click to enlarge):

        See how these results differ from regular old Google search results?

        • Merrill Lynch Semiconductors HOLDRS ETF stock quote results at the top, complete with buttons to change the date range as well as links to details on SMH at Google Finance, Yahoo! Finance and MSN Money.

        • The “Knowledge Graph” area to right has image (logo) and text links to the Google+ page for the Sydney Morning Herald. Just below is a photo, excerpt and link to Sydney Morning Herald’s most recent Google+ post.

        • Also in the knowledge graph is “place” preview info for Sarasota Memorial Hospital (another “SMH”). As with most things in the knowledge graph, however, this just links you to search results for “sarasota memorial hospital”, whose website domain is smh.com

        • Back in the organic results, we see both the Sydney Morning Herald and Sarasota Memorial Hospital, along with related twitter accounts, Urban Dictionary definitions for SMH, etc. Also smh.org - South Mental Health. Lastly there’s an app in the itunes store for the Sydney Morning Herald

    Back twenty years ago when I first started seeing “SMH” it was “So. Much. Hate.”

    As in “I really dislike that.”

    As in “So, everybody unanimously said they want sheet cake for office birthdays and management decided to double down on the day old donuts again anyway? So Much Hate.”

      I thought I was nuts in remembering that it meant so much hate at one point
