Who wants to be the first to start a compendium of internet originated words. Soon, there will be a whole new language owing its origin to no one specific culture.

Trying to think of other words:

st@b, hAx0r, l33t.....

pronograyfee
"pro-no-gray-fee"

Alternate way of saying "pornography".

I looked at pronograyfee after I saw my dogs having relations and realized I was getting slightly aroused.

Nice example! :Q

The concept of mangling the english language has been used extensively in the online forum environment for years; AT has largely been sanitized by a generally (though not universally) mature clientele, and zealous thread moderation to lock topics that would thrive on some other forums. For example, the expression "oh noes! My pen0s fell off after too much fappage while watching teh mansechs an0l pr0n.." would be quite common. Given that an entire generation has come of age with the internet as a tool to communicate universally with almost anyone anywhere, we can expect language and maturity to continue to pander to the lowest common denominator.
