My whole family speaks Dutch - everyone except pretty much me. I've had nearly 30 years of dealing with it.

Time to learn another language just to mess with them. I recommend Esperanto.

Yeah but that is why it's so cool. No one else speaks it, so it kinda fun just to play with people. At least you can bet that you or whomever else your speaking with can nearly guarantee that no one else will no what the hell you are saying.

I briefly joined an Esperanto club back when I was in university. Then I found something better to do. I.e. anything. :lol:

I lived 4 years in Germany and at the time my girlfriend spoke no english. By time I got done with her we spoke half german and half english. It would confuse some people.

Darnit to heck! I have experienced a similar feeling as you when I visit my mother's side of the family. Unfortunately, I lack the ability to speak Spanish fluently and therefore, run into issues when engaging in casual discourse. Furthermore, since my father's side of the family speaks Tagalog and/or Trabakano, I experience the inabilty to converse with them in their native tongue as well. How truly unfortunate and altogether ensaddening.

Don't know about "ROLF" but "RO[T]FL" is "rolling on [the] floor laughing." I guess if you're laughing that hard you can't type straight either. :lol:

"Oreo" = "I dunno" or "<shrug>" I guess. It's an expression apparently unique to the inhabitants of Howieland. :P

"WOOT" or properly "W00T" :wink: is an interjection akin to "yay!" or "woohoo!".

All this L33T/street speak (ask me what "L33T" means :D)... an old fogey such as myself can barely keep up.

From the Jargon File:


elite: adj.

Clueful. Plugged-in. One of the cognoscenti. Also used as a general positive adjective. This term is not actually native hacker slang; it is used primarily by crackers and warez d00dz, for which reason hackers use it only with heavy irony. The term used to refer to the folks allowed in to the “hidden” or “privileged” sections of BBSes in the early 1980s (which, typically, contained pirated software). Frequently, early boards would only let you post, or even see, a certain subset of the sections (or ‘boards’) on a BBS. Those who got to the frequently legendary ‘triple super secret’ boards were elite. Misspellings of this term in warez d00dz style abound; the forms l337 eleet, and 31337 (among others) have been sighted.

A true hacker would be more likely to use ‘wizardly’. Oppose lamer.

Michael: Yeah well at least your name isn't Michael Bolton.

Samir: You know there's nothing wrong with that name.

Michael: There WAS nothing wrong with it until I was about 12 years old and that no talent ass clown became famous and started winning Grammies.

Samir: Why don't you just, ah, go by Mike instead of Michael?

Michael: No way, why should I change. He's the one who sucks.
:lol: Love that movie! :lol:
