Alright, let me rephrase my previous response.
Oh for ZB's sake, can you try to not automatically resort to the worst case scenario? Obviously one should strive for clarity and comprehensibility, but that doesn't mean one shouldn't play with the language. ZBing dipshit.

I love it when people try to insist that English is not a fluid language and cannot/should not change over time.
I don't insist that. I just fucking hate it when people say MADE OF WIN

same goes for pretty much any expression that was once a 4chan meme, really. I find those terribly useful for filtering out people I shouldn't be wasting any of my time with.
lulz/epic/win/fail/for teh/moar/lolcats/motivational posters/this is relevant to my interests/animu/internets don't make for good ridicule material anymore. it's just embarrassing now

A new one: Google's Creepy tracking.
I was viewing the article on HFCS on Lifehacker, then mis-typed Lifehacker's URL in Firefox trying to link it to someone else. The search site that popped had text advertisements for sugar substitutes.
