I got a question about some of the lingo used in these forums?

[Shooters]

Okay, now that I know where this "All your ____ are belong to us" stuff came from, is there a story behind the "____ is suck" stuff? And also, I often see people in the Hot Deals forum talking about Best Buy and CompUSA B&M stores. What does the B&M stand for?

Thanks,
Shooters

B&M means brick and mortar...or the actual retail store you can go to, as for the "..is suck", it came about long before me so maybe someone else can tell you the full story. From my understanding a member with less than perfect english skills used this term and it just 'stuck'.

The "is suck" comment indeed came from a person whose english skill were not the best and said that "Staples is suck"

so what about that "all your base are belong to us" thing? another english error?

Rip Radah said "Staples is suck" the first time

"All your base....." is a bad translation voiced over in a video clip for a game.
