A battle, fight, arguement, bitch-fest etc. based on
the internet in a forum or message-board and sometimes in an IM Convo. It will usually be started by an angry little dirt-child who thinks the 'opponent' has done something against his or her authoritory. Some flame-wars are started
intentionally to see who can spurt the best insult. Some cheaters will use images as arguments, but some images are very convincing in arguements, such as images that bring any if
the following slogans over:
"And how."
"STFU Newbie!"
"Where is the funny?"
Any image with these slogans or slogans relating to the forementioned goes good with an image that relates to the image.
Anyhoo, some people devote a forum from their message-board on intentional flame-wars just for fun. But just because it is for fun doesn't make it a total piss-up. The rage felt in flame-wars are genrally believable and occasionally hilarious.
