Yeah, I did when I was a newfag on /b/.
And now I think it was fucking stupid.

>>2586507
>/b/ in the glory days
/b/ never had any glory.

the mudkips shit is all over the internet, its more likely she just goes on deviantart

I know about 4 people who also browse 4chan, we only talk about fun thread, almost never about memes. We only spout memes if we're talking with people who don't know them, it's fun to put them in a conversation and they don't notice

Memes are always a bad thing, even on the internet and especially in real life.

oldfag /b/tards NEVER, EVER, admit to surfing the ocean of piss that is /b/.

I drop memes occasionally, but in context. I go camping and ask if anyone wants to go catch mudkips with me cause everyone loves mudkips. Or "you fail, dude"

I'm with you OP, some of my friends found /b/ once and didn't know I knew about it because I don't go around spouting memes. They kept just using them whenever they could so I eventually flipped and yelled at them for like 30 minutes, i don't remember exactly what i said but the main point was that they were stupid and things on the internet should stay on the internet. Needless to say we are no longer friends.

>>2586532
Good example of what makes us RAEG.

sometimes its fun to be retarded, i like to tell my friends they have caught the gay as much i like to say they have fucking failed

lighten up OP

I suspect I know a few people who browse 4chan but I've never said a word about it in true proper fashion ... why would you?

Anyway if you go to conventions of any sort you deserve all the shit you get.

No, not memes. But the way I talk and words I use are really characteristic to this place. One of my groups of friends is the same and we don't even notice it, but wny others think we're pretty hermetic.

God, it's been almost 3 years now that I'm here. It would be impossible not to talk like a retard.

>>2586568

I'm sorry you don't have any friends you have something in common with. And turning an a and e around is always funny enyclopediadramatica for life!

I used to, but I quickly stopped as I realised that /b/ is shit and there is much better boards on 4chan

I met some girl from 4Chan once, and we laughed about memes all night.

Then she turned out to be a psychopath.

>>2586551
I definitely have yelled at a few of my friends before for it, I remember doing it once when a friend tried to show me LOLCATS!!!1, but I never could grasp a good enough reason for them to cut that shit out. If they can't understand why it's annoying, how could I expect them to stop?
Illustrative examples:
>>2586532
>>2586578

Also, yeah, deviantart has really fucked up some good shit. I dunno if they have patrol cops stationed on each board or what, but they seem to pick up memes on a dime, even from /r9k/, which doesn't really have any memes except stupid faces.
Boy do they love stupid faces. They don't have to have read any hilarious MS Paint uses of them, no, they just like it because it looks stupid. They give them stupid-ass names, too, like 'imhappyplz'. I didn't think that was supposed to have a name. But, like every little girl, they have to give everything a name so they can drop said name at any moment they wish, for MAXIMUM LULZ!!

By the way this is OP.

Hey guys I know a 16 year old girl who sputs memes

I must be really cool because I talk about younger girls

I never talk about memes. I talk with my friends about cool threads and if maybe they were on any of them and further discuss the general topic of the thread more.

And to the fags saying "ololol /b/ wuz n3\/4r gud im oldfag epic lulz!!"" /b/ WAS good. Around 2003-2007 was when /b/ was still a bit cool to visit and screw around in. Then came the shit with lol.js and 4chan being featured in the Wall Street Journal and from there, everything went to shit. Now all that's there are pretty much the memespouters like OP described and other wastes of space.

Also, is there anyone else who's blood boils every time they here the word "epic"?

>>2586672

>> Around 2003

LIAR
GET THE FUCK OUT

OP: Your task is clear, you must destroy her.

This thread will self destruct in about 10 minutes.

My girlfriend sometimes says "FAIL" when I botch something up IRL.

I guess it could kinda be considered memespouting, but I really dont mind. Ive seen worse, im just too lazy to give specific examples.

>>2586672
>Also, is there anyone else who's blood boils every time they here the word "epic"?

YES, GOD
I understand the meaning of "epic fail", etc, who wouldn't, but I keep hearing it used improperly. "Epic" as a noun, or "epic fail" as one collective verb, like I actually heard someone say "I epic fail'd!" at a game tournament once. Goddamn.

OP here. You all are under the impression that my aforementioned cousin was a girl. No, he's a guy. I get pissed off equally when guys and girls do it (they sound stupid all the same), but I just found that girls do it more often. Or more obviously.

"Fail" is about the only thing I really say.

All that other shit ain't cool.
real niggas don't spout memes.

i fucking hate when people say epic fail IRL, or they type it on another forum.


You know what I REALLY HATE? when people use 4chan lingo OUTSIDE OF 4CHAN. like in their shit forum.

Fuck all of you saying things like "fail" and "epic", they aren't memes.
And even if they were, they predate this shithole.

>>2586775

They're part of the lingo, as I'm sure everyone understood who isn't busy being a prick for no reason. Also, there's no way they were in common usage and used in the way they are now before The Internet came along and shat over everything.

I say "shit sucks" ALL THE TIME, but I don't know if that really counts as a meme at all. In fact, it might just be something people say in general, I just heard it first on 4chan.

I also say fail but I feel like that doesn't really matter. It just seems like a figure of speech rather than some retarded internet inside joke (not that there's anything wrong with those...), unless you're using "epic fail" as a noun or something like OP described. Who the fuck says that anyway? yuck.

I've never really mentioned 4chan or any boards unless someone specifically asks me about it or if it's a close friend of mine or something like that. I'm not really trying, I just don't ever feel like I have to talk about it.

>>2586791
But the fact is, both terms were used back before 4chan became popular as it is now.
I've been using "fail", "you failed", "I failed" before i even had the internet, or a computer.

Don't even need to mention why for "epic", same as above.

Yes, they have become more popular with silly kids on their forums and stuff. (god, trust me, i stopped visiting a few of the forums i loved due to its overuse, yet i still come here, it is that bad, i hide ON 4chan to get away from 4chan...)

>>2586507
>I have a sixteen year old female cousin who is a /b/tard.
Fuck her.

i was lucky enough to not have 4chan around during high school. you guys suck and its making you bad people. kids these days...

My friend told me that his college class is filled with /b/tards (networking course)
And the entire college in general.

I am so glad i never went to games dev now, i would have killed someone.
When i was at college, there were none of those faggots around, luckily.

>>2586672
i get pissed. I have a couple friends who will spout 'FAIL' or 'EPIC FAIL' at the slightest screwup. It's infuriating. Like, fuck, people. I know, i ran chuck norris and leonidas for my highschool president, but i've matured since then. FUCK, KEEP THE INTERBUTTS ON THE INTERBUTTS.

IS IT REALLY THAT HARD?

also, if anyone i knew in highschool browses 4chan, they know know i do. Hey guys.

I know a guy who says "fail" and "epic fail" irl. I get pretty annoyed to hear these terms online so to hear them irl drives me nuts.

In my group of friends, in which a couple of others visit 4chan regularly and everyone else is at least aware of it and its memes, we have an unwritten list of words and memes derived from this place that you NEVER SAY, EVER. This includes "epic," "fail," "epic fail," "mudkipz," "over 9000," all of the really aIncient and tired stuff.

All I do is say the occasional fail. The idiots who you see in public shouting, "DOES U LIEK MURDKAPZ?@!" are the ones I despise.

I hate when people say internet jokes in real life. Makes me want to kill my self. To those who say lighten up I quote arrested development often but they actually have good writing.

I occasionally use memes as part of a conversaion with my friends but never just spout them out like a retard with tourettes. I don't spout out memes when giving lectures, or in books, I ocasionally pop one in a news article if it isn't out of place to see if I can get it past my editor or if anyone notices it. For example, in one magazine I was writing for I had to report on a poll to name a baby lion that had recived 9500 votes and it amused me to use the phrase 'over 9000' in the article.

Another faggot thinking 4chan is some elite club while it's visited by shitloads of people on a daily base.
Once you're a true oldfag you wont get upset about people shouting meme's IRL anymore.
And what the shit do you expect at cons? Are you so thick in your head that you can not seem to understand that especially at cons people will use memes IRL.
Saging this bawwww I'm an elitist 4chanfag thread.

Memes of any sort (even quasi-memes like "fail" and "epic") just sound stupid and forced to me in real life and I cringe when people use them. 16 year old girls are a different story though bro you should tap that.

I fucking hate memspouting, as do I any form of linking or talking about 4chan outside of 4chan.

>>2586936
I totally agree with this.
People in this thread are fucking massive newfags trying to act like the older populous of 4chan.

Really fucking embarrassing that i replied to this thread... it saddens me so.

I think i have a good balance. When i went to college and had no friends i had to find other B tards like back at home. I wouldn't scream about mudkips or lazers. If i would be apropriate i would say "bitches don't know shit bout..." not trying to be funny just find bros. Drop an O'rly? didn't try to be funny just needed to find bros. Regardless of all this keeping shit in context is key to not being a faggot.

I fucking want to rip a vagina out of a man when he says epic, or fail, or epic fail, or win, or epic win, or anything of the sort.

>>2586878
>Leonidas
Didn't 300 come out a year ago at most?

iunno y eerone is complayning, id fuck ops pic so harde

kids and teenagers shouting memes is annoying, as is memespouters at cons, but its just expected, its immature.

i mean, look at them, kids and teenagers... i love looking at them...

Are people ITT actually raging when people say fail or epic fail in real life?
Are you fucking kidding me?
Do you faggots even think these words came from 4chan to begin with?
It's the result of gaming culture fucking newfags.
Goddamnit, you know what pisses me off? newfags ITT.

>>2586974
Stop trying to act like an old fag new fag.

Myself, a channer and a non channer hung out the other day and while my channer friend was talking about his ex saying that her gay room mate wasn't going to try to sleep with her I just stared at him and said:

There's your first problem. She should have said SHE wasn't going to try to sleep with HIM. You should have known she was going to FUCK A LOT OF DUDES.

The moral of the story is that i only use mems and such if the conversation is appropriate and I won't have to mention it's a joke from the internet. My non chan friend was laughing and we spent the rest of the night joking about fucking a lot of dudes.

I don't say these things out loud to anyone who doesn't browse. If they do, there is a hidden smirk behind the actual joke and nothing more.


tldr; use when appropriate, and never admit you know about 4chan.

At least she's not telling OP to bring back the snacks at the dinner table.

Closest I ever get to spouting memes is the occasional "I see what you did there."

A lot of them don't really translate well to spoken English anyway.

I'll chat with some friends about 4chan in general, usually pertaining to specific threads (i.e. "I was reading this thread the other day and yadda yadda yadda"), but I desperately try not to abuse memes. If I end up spouting some meme it's usually meant to be ironic.

Mostly, I see that kind of behavior as just a phase that kids need to get through their system before comprehending how stupid it is and forming the same opinions as the OP. For some people it takes longer, for some it's a quick transition, but I'm sure most people go through something like that during the course of their internet life.

Unfortunately for us, there will always be a subset of people in that age/phase, due to the amount of people growing up and being born all the time. I feel there's nothing to do but cope with it, confident that the person will eventually grow out of it.

Fail and epic have edged their way into everything but at least it's not mudkips anymore!

>>2587936
whoops saged by accident awhjawitjapitjuqwptjqhitj2k;t3

People around me just started browsing /b/ a few months ago, but I quickly shut them up as soon as one said "Mudkips". Luckily most of my friends look up to me as a perfect model for nerd culture, so they quickly shut the fuck up once I told them spouting memes isn't exactly the coolest thing to do.

But its still fun on occasion to hijack an acquaintance's conversation when they say something that's verbally exploitable or reminisce about some old obscure meme from a younger /b/.

Also, most of my closest friends stopped lurking /b/ and moved on to the real boards that aren't as "lol random XD". Its really nice to talk about *chan-related things other than chanology and mudkips.

I spout memes on a daily basis but it's in my home with just my brother. It's not like I walk around going 'pignas pignas' all day. Though i'd like to.

last year in my senior year there was a sophmore girl who sat next to me in art class. she was kinda cute but she just repeated memes all day. "longcat is long! imma charging mah lazer! become an hero! etc" and it got pretty fucking annoying. it got so bad that at one point i no longer even found her attractive and noticed that she was just a really immature /b/tard who kept breaking rules 1 and 2.

I have 2 or 3 friends that also browse /b/ and we NEVER FUCKING TALK ABOUT IT

EVER

We don't even admit to each other that we know what it is.

/b/ is complete social fail and as soon as you start taking anything on it past the context of an anonymous image board you are asking for a heap load of trouble.

Only if it's intelligently conveyed. inb4 everyone does this. Yeah right, you're all yelling them. Fuck off and die!

the only meme that me and my acquaintances use is RAGE

I feel like the MORE time you spend on 4chan, the less memes you spout. I have a friend who's never actually been on /b/, and acquired all the other memes from secondary sources influenced by /b/. He's a spouter. Another friend dabbles, and occasionally lets out an "epic fail", or asks someone's little sister if they like pizza, but she's generally pretty good about it. And then I'm on here for at least a couple hours every day, and the most I ever say is "SHE'S GOING TO FUCK A LOT OF DUDES" (because that is hands down my favorite meme,
no question.)

4chan is like fight club, sort of. Those who let too much out get their asses beaten by those who have been here longer and know better.

>>2586763

Shut the hell up. 4chan doesn't operate as a one-way door, stuff is created elsewhere and introduced to this place, believe it or not.

People like this dick that think 4chan is the fount of all memes/that is funny on the internet piss me off. Invalids.

>>2588069
>if they like pizza
alright i've missed something what the fuck meme is this

>>2588085
Loli haet pizza? I don't know, it's a lot funnier when the kid goes "yeah i love pizza" and my friend immediately looks depressed.

>>2587948
>!tRiPfAGSxc!!tVG4nQpC10t
>perfect model for nerd culture
This is why I fucking hate tripfags

"Don't say the memes" is a meme.

>>2588147

REALLY GUYS. REALLY.

"Fap" has entered my regular vocabulary. I discovered this when I used it around some friends who don't spend so much time on the INTERNET and they had no idea what I was saying.

>>2588429
>>2588147
>>2588015
Here again, this is all me.

Fuck, be an individual. You're all so susceptible to conformity. Of course memes are stupid, and I don't want to be stupid, so I don't say memes. This is a result of logic, not any memetic tool or whatever.

>>2587106
Doesn't know epic fail's been around long before his shitty G4 show started using it.

I've said "Cool story bro" a few times, but that's about it.

>>2588073

i guess you've never seen someone say SAGE outside of 4chan, in which case i feel good for you.

SA doesn't get enough credit for all the terrible memes created by it.

I only use "Rage" and "Fail" with my friends. Epic might slip in sometimes, too. E.g That makes me fucking rage, Holy shit that was epic!

>>2588528


SA is bad and you should FEEL bad for mentioning it.

My gay roommate shouts out "FAIL!" at just about everything nowadays, so I had a slight suspicion that maybe, just maybe, he discovered a *chan. I had a bit of optimism for once, you know? Just for once. So one day, out of the blue, I'm like,

"Itty bitty baby, itty bitty boat."

"What?"

"Itty bitty baby, itty bitty boat."

"... okay, you're not making sense here. FAIL!"

On that day, I didn't just give up. A part of me died.

It is not ok to use chanspeak anywhere other than *chans. This includes real life as well as the internet. Its also not ok to say "epic" at all, even here.

What the fuck is wrong with you guys? The words "epic" and "fail" are not memes. They're fucking words. Monosyllabic relatively common words. They're not meaningless phrases, they don't disrupt conversation. Do you seriously get all butthurt over that? Get your heads out of your asses. It's not like "so I herd u liek mudkips" or "IT'S OVER 9000!" It's not even in the same ballpark.

I have to admit to spouting some memes with some fellow /b/tards, but I usually just say 'fail' when stuff goes wrong. This one girl I know wrecks good things by memespouting them until you want to hit her with ten ton truck.

I say "om nom nom." I have no regrets.

>>2588563

Are you retarded? Yes well done, they're words that existed a long long time ago, but the way they're used has changed - a few years ago, no-one would have just said 'fail' on its own in response to anything, that's totally come about thanks to t'internet.

Spouting memes =/= 4channer. I met a girl that used DA and ED but had no idea what 4chan even was- but knew every meme.

The nerdiest thing I'll actually say out loud is "lawl" or I guess "pwned."

Other than that I'm a huge math nerd so that overshadows those two things I say anyway.

>>2586507
It happens, they're like trolls and by letting it get to you, you automatically lose. They'll make themselves look like dumb ass anyway as is without you getting agitated over it.

Meh, I have a few friends who go on 4chan as well, and we use a couple of bits of chanspeak in the casual, relevant ways rather than running around screaming "mudkipz" at the tops of our fucking lungs. The usuals are raging over stupid shit, I see what you did there, every once in a while something will either be epic or pure fail. We have one friend who is an idiot and constant fuckup, and whenever he is coming over we usually say "It looks like our annual shipment of fail is due to arrive any minute now.*

I used to meme-spout when I was a newfag; who didn't? I stopped once I found out it wasn't cool (it took me a few months, I was a huge faggot).

My little brother always has his middle school friends come over, and I always overhear some of them screaming "EPIC FAIL" or "FAIL" and various other raped memes/phrases/words. A guy who hates me found out I hate it when people spout memes and did it around me constantly for six months, I swear I almost punched him in the fucking face a few times.

As >>2586590 was saying, 4chan users sometimes have a certain way of speaking or typing without spouting memes. I as well type in a way that gives it away, as well as a few of my friends, but I don't spout memes.

Also, I want to fucking kill someone every time I hear "fail," "newfag," "epic fail," etc.

I'm in the military. During basic training some asshole kept spouting memes to other recruits and talked about 4chan like it was some secret club and every idiot there was eating it up. I told him to shut the fuck up or I'd kill him. He stopped doing it around me.

>>2588645 here, by the last bit I meant outside of 4chan.

When in private with my /b/tard friends, I have been known to drop a "double nigger!" or two.

Also, we've busted out "who was phone?" once or twice, but again, always in private.

How it is wrong to say "You failed?" , or when someone fucks up you say "That was a pretty big fail". I said these things before I even came on 4chan, why the fuck should I stop using a common phrase just because it's used widely on /b/ or whatever. Fuck that.

That sounds exactly like my x-mas

>>2588710

No, fuck you.

it appears others have told you this.

I remember my friend literally laughed for hours when he discovered "Who Was Phone?". I have no idea why, and he still laughs about it if you just mention it in passing. It's crazy! But other than that, I don't really do the meme-spouting thing.

>>2588577
Yeah, sure, they wouldn't be used the same way without the internet. But they're still words that can be used coherently in a sentence and contribute to a conversation. You guys are pretty much saying "you guys aren't allowed to use these words because the internet made them popular."
There's a pretty big difference between saying "I got a ton of shit for Christmas, it was fucking epic!" and "Oh man so I heard you like Mudkips? They're OVER 9000! ~DESU DESU DESU."

One thing you guys gotta remember is that the very nature of a meme is that it spreads. A lot of 4chan memes have spread to the rest of the internet - I knew a pile of them before I ever came here.

My younger sister hates 4chan and thinks everyone on it is a fucking retard, but she herself hangs out on Gaia, even if she claims it's only because she's been there for years now and only stays on it to talk to the friends she's made there, in one thread where they complain about what a shithole the site is. In any case, when we IM or email each other, we tend to use the odd meme if it fits the conversation. IRL though we never use them beyond 'epic fail', which we do use in the meme sense, and that's pretty sparsely.
The only instance I can think of us using any other meme was last Christmas when I was playing Pokemon while visiting the family. She glanced at the screen, asked 'Is that Pokeymans?" and I replied "Yes, let me show you them."

Beyond that, the only person I do know that goes to 4chan we almost never talk about, unless one of us wants to share something we read in a thread or whatnot. We've never spouted internet memes, partially because we have enough personal ones.
Though there are some kids at work who tend to spout memes, although whether they know them from 4chan or just around the internet I don't know. They were having a fielday with Pedobear for a while, replacing people's desktops with pictures of Pedobear and the like. One of them made a comment to me about it once and I just replied 'Fucking 4chan.' Coincidence or not, the meme spouting died down after that.

Friend of mine used to do that, then I kicked him in the balls and said that if he ever referred to anything related to /b/ again I would rip his cock off.

Hasn't said a meme since.

I ust things like "i no rite", "ha ha ha oh wow" and the like in normal conversation, but it's a far cry from meme spouting.

It's not even so much as memedropping, to sound cool or to see if there are other 4channers, but I just have a different way of talking.
I mutter "fail" whenever anyone, you know, fails. I don't go "OMG EPIC FAIL LOL YOU EPIC FAILED", that's just fucking retarted. Also, whenever I have a large number, I don't say "like a billion" I say "like over nine thousand" or "like 9001". I'm not doing it on purpose, it's just I have lurked way too much.
I also feel a lot more inclined into calling others "fag", which isn't the best since most people around here take it as a harsher insult.
Also, a pretty long time ago, some guy was being annoying and kept bothering my friends and I about some stupid math thing he didn't want to do himself. It was simple, yet he just didn't want to do the extra 3 steps.
One of my friends yelled "YOUR TEXTBOOK, MOTHERFUCKER. DO YOU USE IT?"
He just kind of stared at her, and then left us alone.
I didn't want to say anything. I'd rather not know if my friends lurk 4chan.
:3

>>2589011
Pulp Fiction motherfucker, do you watch it?

>>2589011

Oh god. I hate you. So much. I want to hate you to death.

And its not only the memedropping that you're doing. And yes, you're doing it. Its the fact that you feel obligated to do it.

NO! YOU'RE STILL A FUCKING FAGGOT EITHER WAY! FUCKING STOP!

i only say memes when im in a vidya

IRL memes fail..

but i still think dickbutt is funny..

>>2589062


dickbutt is always relevant to any topic, so you can dropt it on a conversation at leisure

>>2589011
It's so obvious from the way you talk that you're another underage b& lesbian scenefag. Besides the obvious memespouting and trying to cover it up by saying it's subconscious because you've LURKED SOOO MUCH THAT IT'S INGRAINED IN THERE. DON'T EVEN TRY TO TOUCH THIS YOU GUYS., you also are referencing people in school with textbooks and shit and hanging out with your GIRLFRANDS who spout memes also, and :3 and ^_^ :3 XD.

Just get the fuck out. You are the sort of people who are bringing cancer upon REAL. FUCKING. LIFE.

>>2589029

Exactly, that's why I didn't want to say "...do you lurk 4chan" when she could've watched Pulp Fiction the night before.
But if she hadn't seen the movie, the probably lurks.
Some things you'd just rather not know.

>>2589011

Oh, oh wow.
More proof that /r9k/ is easily trolled. :[

Can't stand when people do it.

And people do it INCESSANTLY.

I love my friends to death, but "FAIL, EPIC FAIL" from someone who had never been on 4chan in their life before I met them..

Oh, it makes me mad.
Mad.

I have never once uttered a meme on /b/ IRL.

However, I have referenced animu and tv memes irl once I told my mom, "the only reality is virtual".

I sometimes go to music chatrooms where i see ppl say shit like PICS or it didnt happen, or TITS or GTFO.

I cringe.
I'd also slap a fool if I saw them use memes in real life, however, I'd lol If I saw something IRL that reminded me of a meme.

I did. Very, very briefly, back when I found /b/ in early '06. Then I was hit with a wave of maturity and a wave of /b/-going-mainstream AT THE SAME TIME.

Needless to say, it doesn't happen anymore, and none of my friends (all 4channers) do it either. We're not perfect, mind - "haha oh wow", "oh u", "win/fail", "fag"faggotry and even, heaven help us, "epic", all slip into conversation. But eh, the worst abuse of them is over, and the stupid is fading out.

This situation is also helped by the fact that frankly most memes sound stupid and stilted when RL'ed Hell, even the most annoying and /b/-yet-not-/b/ kid limits himself to 'i hurd u liek mudkipz'.

Of course, I still have to deal with my irritating-as-fuck meme-spouting 11-year-old brother whenever he's around. Which is annoying.
