derived into what it is today:
a term that only fuck heads use when they succeed in some manner. mainly sighted amongst 13-17 year olds in today's gaming generation.

a source of ego boosting fuel for those who've been losers in the social arena their whole lives -- so they take it out on other gamers.

of course you'd disagree with me when you're one of them.

Form of language typically used by nerds, hackers, and people who game online. People who use this language usually think they are better than you, and are arrogant. However in reality, most of these people do not succeed in actually person to person interactions, which causes them to stay inside and online.
