    "Lolest?" Holy Sweet Mother, that is worse than bad! The acronym is asinine enough, but using it as an adjective? NO NO! BAD XZBYTE! STOP MAKING UP IDIOMS IN A LANGUAGE YOU DON'T KNOW VERY WELL!

    Well, personally I think that "worse than bad" is as much of a horror as "lolest". But, of course, it could just be my ignorant self.
    Settler's right. Really, if you're going to yell at Xzbyte for making up idioms, first take a look at yourself. :razz:
    I mean, at least Xzbyte is Norse and, as you yourself stated, may not know the language very well (and doesn't really have to); but you live in the States...

    "Worse than bad" is perfectly acceptable. It simply means that "Lolest" is horrendous, hence, worse than bad. Yes, it's not very creative and shows a bad grasp of vocabulary, but it's still grammatically correct. And it's not just something I made up out of an already awful "word." Making a random, unnofficial acronym into an adjective is a linguistic travesty. Sometimes I get tired of using clever words like "asinine" and "atrocious." Sometimes.

    if you stick to the guidlines as rules and law - feel free.

    I don't, and I view them as just guidlines for me to make something you - or you - or you - can understand.

    if lolest is understandable - it's ok to use with me - or use with those that understand it.

    and making up new words is hardly a travesty but beautiful - keep it up - even if some of the results are worse then others.

    A few weeks ago i was at school and ome guy said something moderatly humorous and this really annoying anime/otaku/megatokyo-obsessed ass hole felt the need to shout "L O L" and started laughing hysterically. I have never wanted to beat someone to death more in my entire life.

    Sleek, do you think something is wrong with people that like Anime?

    Well, if so:

    Jinxed, do I have your permission to give him the Final Insultâ„¢?

    Thankfully not too many people think like you monkey, otherwise we'd spend all day trying to figure out what other people were saying.

    Madre! You've just topped lolest! I didn't think it was possible. Is it too much to ask that you master a language you use every damn day? Did you ever look in a big book called the "Dictionary?" This kind of destruction of the English language is part of what's wrong with America.
    And what the hell is wrong with a debate? Are you one of those people who's scared of controversey?

    Thank God someone else has some sense here! How can you expect anyone to understand you if you make up nonsense words?

    The fact that I'm an English Major (with a creative writing emphasis) makes it difficult for me to accept such hacking of the language. I'm not saying that everyone must speak flawless English. Even I don't. I still say things like, "Me and my brother," "And I was like," etc. But I try to curb such mistakes, and hopefully I will someday not use them at all. If you are going to speak a language, why not speak it well?

    Calm bown boy, or else we'll unleash Jarinor on you. Try using the edit function instead of posting again.

    I'm with Sigurd on this. While I'm not going to criticise you again, I'm warning you that people will not take you seriously if you spout that kind of crap.
