what does "/" mean with it has a word attached to it? i.e. /lol, /taunt, /coughcough? - briehton - 03-29-2014 04:34 AM I have no idea. Is it a hashtag thing or is like saying that's that they are going physically? Pathetic I know but one of my friends does it all the time and I didn't want to give them the satisfaction of me wanting to know. (I'm a bit of anti acronyms and emoji). Thanks! - Regina - 03-29-2014 04:45 AM I thought that's a kind of emoticon. Maybe but not sure. I'm just sayin' . That person must be a very emotional person, he want everybody know about his feeling. You got it? Its a kind of emoticon,but not the faces,its feeling. - SmartAZ - 03-29-2014 04:49 AM It is an imitation of a programming statement. [JohnWayneAccent] It's a good thing you're sorry, pilgrim. I'll letcha live! [/JohnWayneAccent] - Xsaga - 03-29-2014 05:00 AM AFAIK, it is a prefix for command in programming (or for some game). When he used it for like /lol, it means that he did laughing (or pretend. IDK. I'm not his mother). Another example, /taunt, it means he pretend himself taunting somebody. As for /coughcough, he pretends (or actually) coughing. It is like that the writer tried to tell the other that he did something, preferably in conversation in internet. This is the example : [YoSonikIsAwzome] dude gimme a break [maTILda] eh, I need sum weed [YoSonikIsAwzome] /cutsomeweed [maTILda] /watchingyoucutsomeweed [YoSonikIsAwzome] lol you creep me out /shiver [maTILda] /meaningfulsmile [YoSonikIsAwzome] sh-t /runlikeamadcow [maTILda] /chase [YoSonikIsAwzome] /jumpoveralazydog [maTILda] you're not a fox /facepalm |
