iTards.

Gets my vote :-)

Obviously.

... wasn't the term "Twatdangle" coined here?

If so, that makes it net-spawn, therefore I nominate it :-D

Pwn, pwned and various derivatives. It actually feels nicer to say pwned than owned even!. Once a typo, now a term in its own right, pwning is the new win!

Let this be the start of the glorious flamewars

Twatdangle. Best. Word. Ever.

Paris, cuz.. well.. have you ever seen her exit a car?

I think it has to be twatdangle...so many applications, or is that applicators

- but I still like 'woot!'. As an expression of joy, it pretty much encapsulates 'whooping with joy' into a word in an almost onomatopoeic manner.

I also like 'Wiigii!'.

Recently, in the Dungeon's & Dragons Tiny Adventure application on Facebook, the following terms were born:

Mars'd (or marsed) - Indicates a string of bad luck, particularly in the realm of gaming and technology. Servers down? They've been Mars'd. Rolled a 1 nine times in a row in Iron Man? Totally Mars'd.

Jindra'd (jindraed) - The opposite of Mars'd.

And, the crème de la crème: Wibble!

If anyone can define 'wibble' for me, go ahead.

...that the acronym FHUTA should be the inevitable winner in any net neologism poll.

Well, they're all going to be popular choices, aren't they? The only two I could possibly vote for are fucknuggets and asshat, though, with a slight preference for the latter.

As far as more internetty words go, I like 'blogosphere'. Using it in polite conversation is the perfect way for someone to indicate to me that they are desirous of being punched in the face.

But then I noticed the word twatdangle and the reference to Paris.

Hence that is the only word that I would approve.

...was one i first came across on el reg methinks...perhaps not it's original source, but as web related as most...

big bad bill in what looks like a pith helmet in those small pics....

More glory to Twunts, WOOTs and freetards please.

Oh and the ever-present Interwebs (always plural, because it's a series of tubes dontchaknow!)

It must be the homespun El Reg "twatdangle" - it has even spawned websites devoted to slagging off the git wizard himself.

I like the ___tard collection of words.

Freetard, paytard, celebutard.

I, Max, am claiming credit to forming this word 2 years ago.

CEWEBRITY: Any person who becomes famous only on the web yet their existence goes unnoticed in normal society.

preceded by fuck

fuckstick

fucknut

fucktard

etc.

etc.

etc.

swearing is good

Twatdangle is going to get my vote if it makes it into your list, but I now regularly use the following in verbal communication:

* Bum Hats

* Meh

* kthanxbai (you MUST imagine that said in a tone that drips sarcasm, can only be used to describe a user dumber than a cat and as readily distracted by shiny crap)

* luser

* lart

* PFY

* Yarr (ok, not really a word, but it's a nice sound)

* I'd use BofH if it tripped off the tongue a little more clearly. It goes into written missives a lot though.

Pirates, because I get to say Yarr again...

Wibble! - When ones mind enters a state of jellification due to oddness encountered.

Arsemonkey... No I'm not going to try and define that!

Loving Twat Dangle and -Tard also

I always liked this one from IRC (which I suppose is not technicly "teh intawebz"). It's fallen out of favor over the last decade or so, but "re" which is short for "re-hello" or "hello, again." It was useful when modems got disconnected.

most of my other favored ones are actually the classic millitary abbriviations, im sure we all know and love.

Lets see here. Celebretard, W00t, Pwned (and it's many variations), Digirati. However my number one pick has got to be that which was coined right here on the comment pages of El Reg, Twatdangle. Still the uberest use of the english language evah.

Has a nice ring to it, and the conotations can leave the mind a wandering...

Well, I used to hear it (wibble) in conjunction with the word "whinge" quite often. I assumed it was kind of like simpering, but more blatantly whiny.

A "wibble" is also a smiley. like the icon I chose for this comment.

Personally, I nominate the following :

Sotong - S.E.Asian word for squid, also means an annoying forum poster who asks the same newb question over and over again.

IAH'ed - To be repeatedly F*cked over by IAHGames, or for that matter, any other game hosting company. IAHgames are a subsidiary of The9, if anyone gives a sh*t.

LeeJunMing'ed - Or LJM'ed : To have your brain fried to a blackened pile of smoking fail by bad grammar, horrible english, and the realization that some sotong has just made the same damned post 100 times, but worded it slightly differently.

"Podestrian".

// Hell in a handcart? Why, I heard a Channel 4 newsreader just the other day use "the question arises ..." as opposed to "begging the question" (sic, blah blah etc). All is not (um, yet) lost. it would seem :)

Twatdangle

and any of the *tard derivatives.

Although fuckmuppet (indeed any fuck* word). Swearing is good for the soul.

FTFY is just a wonderfully sarcastic little coining.

Haven't seen it in a long time, but 'Microshafted' used to be popular a decade ago, and perfectly summed up the feeling you get when you had to rebuild an NT4 server because it had eaten its own filesystem.

Mine's the one with the twatdangler hanging from the pocket :o)

Rule 34

as in 'I call Rule 34 on Stricktly Come Dancing'

although if anyone knows what the hell XKCD is on about today, his concept of rule 34 is just plain odd..

from the pages of El Reg.

Then Twatdangle.

Shirley, wibble is from Blackadder? So not interwebz at all.

Has to be teh win!

Ya *tard for me.. Tho woot is a close second. Hmm actually any misspelling that has become accepted is good eg 'teh' etc. Since I am a crappy speller it gives me a way of looking hip while actually being a spelltard.
