I get lost every now and then with the latest in “slanguage” (if you will), and am finding myself looking up the new slang on the Urban Dictionary website. I am either in stitches laughing my ass off or am horrified at what I’m reading. So, here I was looking up another word when I came across the tag for the definition of ‘myspace’. It is a must-read for all of those who are familiar with “the scene”.
Here’s one definition that caught my eye:
Myspace is the ultimate game of testing your ego. It becomes a competition of seeing who has the most friends, so you add everyone you’ve made eye contact with in the past 6 years, constantly posting bulletins telling people to comment on your NEW PICZ PLZ or die. Also a way for every garage band ever to make a Myspace Music profile without even have talent and/or experience as other bands have. Also a new place for every hott girl in the world to prove how slutty they are by making a Myspace and putting pictures of themselve’s where they only have 1/5 of their clothes on with the quote under it “I used photoshop to cover my boobs, So What.”
Comment on my myspace plz LOL! (Written by Brett)
I plead guilty in trying to look up all those whom I’ve befriended since elementary school.
I also plead guilty to getting my cheap thrills when I see this:
A Hat Tip to Brett for the above image.
Allie had something interesting to contribute as well:
Myspace is an absolutely pointless “networking tool” that high school students overuse in an attempt to gain and then flaunt popularity. A potentially useful dating/networking tool for adults gone awry because it became a contest to see who could get the most “friends” added… (and by friends I mean other insecure teenagers adding you back in order to increase THEIR OWN friends count). An addiction where you must sign on every .3232134 seconds to see if anyone posted a comment, sent you a message, or put up a bulletin (to tell them to check out their new “hawt sexy pics!” a horrible pixelated shot of an underdeveloped highschool freshman in their underwear trying their best to make a seductive face)
Add me on myspace so my popularity can soar!
I do like the numbers, but I am happy with the small cozy count of friends I have. But even more than the numbers themselves, they are people whom I’ve either met online or in real life. I don’t really like email that much, and I’m not all into instant messaging (although I have IM available for those special occasions). For me, myspace is a fun way to stay in contact with those I’ve befriended and have made me smile. Being that I work at home, I don’t have much human contact with others outside my husband and family, so myspace seems to fill that gap for me. I love to meet new people and having friends are very important for me and for my sanity.
Here’s another definition I found funny by deathsymphony.
1. The ultimate contest of seeing how many friends you could have without seeing any of them.
2. A place for people who have no lives to post comments about their new pics in their “friend’s” myspace.
3. A place where loners get semi-celebs.
Ex 1:
Person 1: OMG i have 200 friends on myspace.
Person 2: LOLZ i have 300 friends, loser.Ex 2:
Person X: i love ur new pix! u better post a comment on my myspace also!Ex 3:
Some guy: SWEET Tila Nguyen is my friend!
Oh, but… aparently Tila Tequila is the most popular chick on Myspace!!!
Vinny sums it all up right here:
Myspace is an online website for making ‘friends’, and over 70% people up there will have the following things in their profiles:
1. has ’tila tequila’ as their friend
2. the music they like include: my chemical romance, the used, green day, killers, or kottonmouth kings
3. they all hate drama and fake people
4. have a music video playing on their page
5. your computer is more likely to freeze when log on people’s pages if you have an older model due to the over-decoration.
6. we will see this “This profile was edited with Thomas’ myspace editor” somewhere in their profile.
Need an “ice-breaker” or a “pick up line”? Thanks again to Annie for this:
“Aren’t we friends on Myspace?”
“Haven’t I seen you around Myspace before?”
“Your Myspace pictures look HOT…lets fuck”
…And to thetruthlovesme for this: (This is a sample blog entry by a specific kind of “myspacer”. )
“Oh my god I was flossing my teeth this morning and I just couldn’t figure out what it was I pulled out from between my teeth and gums, is chicken? It couldn’t be chicken, I don’t eat meat, maybe it’s tofu? I showed it to my roommate and she thought it was cheese, then I remembered I had baked bread and brie last night, so that must be it. Then I thought wow I better run to my computer and blog about this experience on myspace.”
If any of you have any interesting things to share related to this entry, please don’t hold back.
Urban Dictionary is awesome and good for a laugh!
Oh, Thanks! Really funny. Big ups!
