Pretty funny, but I bet Flux could write something like this and make it more complete and hilarious. I'm trying to popularize saying ASF in response to someone saying WUG -- Asker Shows First.

ME: WUG
them : ASF
Me: No, WUG
them : ASF n00b!
me *puts in a windforce*
them: OMG n00b get a BOTDZ
me: WF > BOTD bow
them: No noob, wf suxor, get botd
me *shows 2 runes*
them: OMG NOOB get better runes 4 botd!!!

It doesn't mean anything. It's the secret name of the haxxing über god.

|337's a language, also a state of being :xrollseye

simply put |337 = leet. derived from elite. used to describe those who are incredibly, amazingly pwnz at what they do. Also used by tools who think just because they have good gear, they must be leet. Its usage seems to be more common in sc/bw.

Er.. for the language, its basically symbols, numbers, or combinations of to replace words or individual letters.

for example.
j00 5|_|xx02z n008 = my, your playing skills really lack something.
or
20f|, 7#47 |4]\/[32 607 />vv]\|7 = hahaha, that guy got his *** handed to him.

I just have to say that "Pwnd" is infact not a real word. It actually was just a typo when it first started, much like the slang word "Teh". I caught on and then everyone forgot how it started. Try asking ingame the next time someone types it. They will have no idea what it means. Let them know that they are just duplicating a typo, which makes that person way more dumb than a bag of pennies.

I never heard town shooter, I always call them town huggers. Shooters make it seem like they do something.
