Several thousand years, and we’re back to the old egyptian language, just different symbols.

Speaking of words… Anyone who uses the term “Thicc” to describe their plump character (Especially Pandaren and Tauren) Wether it’s in the TRP profile or IC has a special place in hell between Serial Killers and people walking slowly RL on the pedestrian paths.
It is much better to be burly, beefy or perhaps buxom.
In all fairness I see what you mean. I have a slight issue whenever I see someone turn their TRP meme-y. I try not to pass judgement by appearance but it gives a slight struggle to take someone seriously.
That’s acceptable, that’s a linguistic/accentual peculiarity, Its like northerners saying “Aye” instead of “Yes” or “Mam” instead of “Mum”
Admittedly amongst my social group we have decided that adding ‘O’ to the end of an otherwise insulting word, instead makes it jovial and friendly, like “Twtto" "Fcko” or even “C*nto”. Keep it jovial people tips hat
Don’t blame my Generation! I’m bloody Generation X mate, I’ve got nowt to do with this Sh*tshow of words. I’m the MTV generation, or as they sometimes called it in the UK the “Latchkey Generation”, only Manga I ever saw when young was Akira and original Ghost in the Shell, and that’s the lot. I don’t even know how you’re supposed to pronounce “Owo” or even “Thicc” for that matter.
I’d say I look forwards to your generations having to pay for my healthcare in my old age, but to be honest, given my ‘Go Hard or Go Home’ lifestyle, we all know I won’t be cashing in on that!
you’re not, its supposed to be a face.
Thick…
Wow I’ve been on the internet too long.
Pretty much. I love memes myself however there are situations and moments I just don’t want to see them. Popular ones already get spammed on every platform… I would love to have RP being spared from them.
I’ll still laugh when one is appropriately inserted IC with the perfect timing but generally it’s done poorly.
I got you fam https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mBqm8uO4Cg
Do people still say fam?
Eh. I got you fam.
Who’s face? I mean the 'O’s are presumably eyes, so the w is a nose? What kind of mutants are we referring to here, with a bifurcated nose?
So ‘Thicc’ is pronounced the same as ‘Thick’, and presumably therefore Is used because it is too complex to write a more complicated letter like a ‘k’’ rather than just another ‘C’.
Right. Bloody hells I’m starting to sound like David Mitchell…
yeah, pretty much.
I have no idea to be fair.
An Owls, I think. No idea how it looks like an owl but that’s what I heard.
That’s suddenly added even more terror to proceedings OWO implies an Owl with two beaks…I mean that’s horrific, what if they opened independently, or simultaneously, that’s just mesmeric. It would be almost as bad as the three eyed w*nking owl.
Before anyone researches that, it isn’t a thing in English folklore. Black furred one eyed Hounds called ‘Black Shuck’? We got them. Talking Weasels called ‘Jeff’ we got them. Centaurs who are skinless and part human part shark? We got them. Three eyed w*nking Owls may however be a fevered imagining of a bunch of people on too much gin.
OwO What’s This?
is a copypasta parodying both furries and online roleplay subcultures, which is typically used [online] as a method of trolling.
Origin
The phrase originated from online roleplay within the furry community. It and phrases similar to it were used regularly, as well as emoticons such as “OwO”.
From know your meme.
How… does that parody anything? RPing for 8 years and I can’t put a meaning to it.
i suspect its from the “cutesy” face emoticons that furries use more than RPing in general.
'Pon my soul, well, there you go.
I imagine it has more a resonance with the Anime community? I’ve seen the phrase used a lot, but just never been bothered to ask why.
People calling my character ‘Gnomette’. Screw ya’ll.
