Never heard any of these used outside of ATOT.

Oh, and the "List of things Jerboy doesn't like" <-- classic

Never heard any of these used outside of ATOT except OMGWTFBBQ. OMGWTFBBQ didn't originate here.

Damn, yeah, that was a good one. I've seen that in a few places outside of ATOT. I always bust out laughing whenever I read it.

Most of those things people are listing as "internet sensations" are really terms not used anywhere but here in ATOT. Sure, you may find the occasional omgwftbbq on another forum here and there, but it's rare.

Word. If I turned in a paper like that and it got a 61% I would seriously reconsider attending that school.

dennilfloss and nef are the only ones I know of. There are a lot of ATOT specific ones (spider, the scroll) but I don't think they're popular elsewhere.

Kinda sad actually. I would seriously just turn in that paper for every paper due. See what I get each time.
