Lingo. Slang. Jive. Jarjon. Palaver. There's plenty of palaver on Fubar. The picture above is lap-top-snapped from Fubar's UnHoLy PaRaNoiA chatroom. Lovely photo. On the left we see the square photos of the members of the chatroom. These individuals have screennames that are synonymous with, well, folk who enjoy looking at cartoons of scantily clad women with come hither eyes and a "nuh-uh" finger wags. There is a certain form of english employed in these rooms. Take Officer Pimpstik, for instance. He lays a whopper on us in the chatroom, "im faded off my ass[.]" Fair enough. One of the most interesting rules concerning language in the chatrooms is the prohibition of CAPS; they are reserved for moderators--or greeters as they are called. I have run into a few problems in the chatrooms. It's quite difficult to take it seriously and to remember there are actual people, who've vested interest and social concerns. When posting one must observe the hierarchy of the lounge and be sure not to disrupt the bizarre, like Charmer.
I paid a compliment to her and her recent pictures. "Well done" is the phrase I used. Apparently this question hasn't been uttered in the chatrooms, as I was peppered with comments such as "wat u mean" and "easy man." RacerX57 quickly jumped in threatening to "kick your ass," which was followed by an abrupt exit by Charmer herself.

Well done. For all I know this could be slang for something obscene, but judging by the background and overall language of the chatroom I find it hard to believe. My patience is at an end and I must note without offense, FUBAR is a website utilized by individuals who, in my opinion, require self esteem boosts in aberrant ways, indulge scopophilic desires, have difficulty socializing in person, are devoid of higher education and enjoy negative attention from strangers...
This isn't to say that every member fits this description perfectly--I'm sure there are some who don't--but the large majority of FUBAR members display these qualities time after time, profile after profile.
The last straw came after a stalker--hell, I've been on this site for two weeks--incessantly requested photos of me, my phone number, my address, etc. I merely accepted her friend request and had never once contacted this individual. I figured my research was done, so I sent her this...
Palaver. The web is full of it. I enjoyed this post. Spot on.
