    People on Facebook saying they got "hacked" cause their friend grabbed their phone while they were away from it. Pisses me right off.

    This one is highly amusing and kinda contradicts the person.

    You know how often you get idiots spamming stuff in trade chat, well nothing takes the cake when someone spams or yells "YOLO" - for those that don't know what it means, it means "you only live once".

    It just make me wonder why would anyone that even lives by that or preaches that even spend an ounce of their time in a game like World of Warcraft.

    Lag, in an online setting, typically refers to network latency. While it can be used in reference to FPS, to do so is quite silly and incredibly confusing. "Low framerate" makes a lot more sense than "lag."

    I prefer 'Lag' for network lag and 'FPS lag'/'Bad FPS' for FPS.

    I hate the overuse of 'racist' as well, especially when people extend it to cultural bigotry or they apply it to a situation of legitimate criticism that doesn't factor in any kind of racial or cultural insinuation.

    Society is currently plagued with a constant overuse of misused labels and terms intended to give the user a perceived moral/literary high ground.

    Drives me up a wall.

    A skin is a texture, the colors applied to the wireframe.
    A model is the wireframe itself.

    So, Zon'ozz and Vezax have the same model and a different texture

    Agree with you on the racist one so hard. I once stayed over at a friend's house in Manchester, it was a party of sorts, there were many people there who I didn't know, one girl there was having an argument with another girl who was black, and things got quite nasty, so I tried to find out what was going on and it turned out that the black girl had come with a friend of a friend of a friend, or something like that, in short, she didn't really know the people hosting the party and was also the one causing the trouble, so I politely suggested that she left, boy did I make the wrong move, she shouted and screamed at me and accused me of being racist multiple times.

    In the end my friend had to deal with it and managed to talk her down and she left with her friend she had arrived with, it is worth noting however that she was pretty damn drunk so she might not be like that normally, it still pissed me off though.

    Immature, childish.

    Generally referenced as an insult that seems to be able to be applied to anything nowadays and is usually invoked by a person who believes they can verbally bludgeon another person into their likeness, ironically denoting their painfully obvious lack of life experience.

    What I find hilarious are the atheists who are as devout in their beliefs as the christians are. I am neither, by the way.

    A drunk mans words are a sober mans thoughts. It is easier to point the finger than it is to look in the mirror, thus any rude actions toward somebody not of your color must be racism. (People are stupid)

    Just because someone doesn't want to talk to you doesn't mean they are ignorant.

    I feel like the people who get annoyed at "lag" are limited.

    People that use "model" "skin" and "skeleton" interchangeably... It annoys me to no end. I have made it my crusade to crush that notion within these forums with all prejudice.

    I'm also quite irked at people that seem to parallel or immediately equate "religion" with "Overzealous southern Christians." I see that spouted an annoying number of times.


    Oh, and, because it technically applies, LOOSE does not mean to "fail, not know the position of, or not win," that's what LOSE means. LOOSE means to untie, be unsecured, or be slippery.

    LOOSE
    MOOSE
    GOOSE
    CABOOSE
    NOOSE

    Not that bloody hard.

    But the mesh of the model with the skin of the skeleton for the texture!

    There are a few.

    Literally is one of them.
    Irony when they really mean Poetic Justice.
    Open Minded is probably another.

    Open Minded one makes me laugh a little and sad at the same time. People tend to think just because they are open to learning means they are open minded which is not it at all. Open Minded means a willingness to challenge your own beliefs given a contrary point of view. Many many people who 'claim' they are open minded are really firmly entrenched, inflexible, and dogmatic about their own beliefs. Not that I'm pointing fingers at anyone but I have found a lot of anti-religious people to just be as dogmatic in their beliefs as staunch religious people.

    I agree with you, OP, about Racist, i really hate that word. Other things that annoy me are: LFR heroes calling themselves raiders, all of these crying douchebags on forums, saying that they're raiders, but they can't kill even Horridon after 4th nerf.

    I dont know how to call black people, without being a racist.

    What bothers me more is that people who says "THAT'S RACIST!!" actually mean: "You are discriminating!!!"

    Example: christians vs buddists vs atheists - or - my hair is red and someone says something negative about it

    Whenever a RACE is not into the picture = discrimination, not racism.... But alas, I seem to be screaming in the desert.
