When you accidentally use an Internet term/meme in real life.

Ever done that?

Which Internet term/meme did you use?

Were you embarrassed afterwards?

Did people look at you funny?

Find it funny?

Oh yeah, back in 2009-2011 I spoke almost exclusively in web jargon. But then I saw a video about some schoolkids using the same terms and I realized, how cringey it looked, so I stopped. Also, I didn't want to be associated with cancerous schoolkids.
Here's the reupload of the video, BTW: www.youtube.com/watch?v=cp3rGf…

Yep.


Laughing so hard that "lol" actually slipped out.
GROSS. Stare 

Felt stupid. Yes.

Just my sister but she had a problem, then, as well.

No. I thought it was ultimately disturbing.

Well, at least you didn't also write it backwards on a bathroom mirror... or anything. :paranoid:

I don't speak to people, so I don't have to deal with that scenario. :smugtard: 
Though I will say "[X] is stupid. Change my mind."

 In a job interview I dropped an insanity wolf quote on a manager, when he asked where I thought I would be in five years, I responded, “At your desk, with your job, boning your wife, wearing your face stapled over mine.”

 He laughed, “You know I am getting a divorce, actually. You are hired, by the way.”

 Really, I thought I had already lost the job. Decided to throw that bit in for shits and giggles.

Once, without thinking and completely in earnest, I said, "Sweet cuppin' cakes!" (Homestar Runner reference) in front of two of my 40-something-year-old coworkers. I don't think they got it, though they laughed, which somewhat caught me off guard. See, it took me a couple of seconds to realize that that is not how non-Internet people talk.

"it took me a couple of seconds to realize that that is not how non-Internet people talk"

That could get awkward if that lag time persists or gets longer. lol
