Yahoo Message Boards

One of the biggest constant flamewars outside of Usenet. Just comment on a news article about any thing remotely connected with race and/or ethnicticity and be prepared for the flames all night.
Most news stories on Yahoo News serve as flamebait for the Yahoo Message Board.

Yahoo! Answers loop

When you answer one stupid question on Yahoo! Answers, and you continuously click the "Show me another" button until you finally run out of points to answer with or snap out of your daze. Similar to the Wikipedian loop or YouTube loop.
An unintentional Yahoo! answers loop may start with one question...
*Would you tongue kiss someone if they had food in their mouth?
And then suddenly you're answering more without thinking...
*Who else had pancakes for breakfast?
*Does anybody remember the Angry Beavers?
*Can I join the Army even though I'm a drug addict?

*Questions actually taken from Yahoo! Answers.

Google Vs. Yahoo

The war between the search engines Google and Yahoo. Of Course, Google wins each and every battle.
I was online last night, and i put my milkshakes into google and Yahoo. Yahoo gave me my milkshakes bring all the boys to the yard. Google said my milkshakes bringeth all ye gentlefolk to the yard. I think we know who won the Google vs. Yahoo war.

Yahoo Answers Trolls

A Yahoo Answer trolls is usually someone who enjoys to annoy everyone else on Yahoo Answers (but some aren't like that). The Yahoo Answers Trolls are usually found in the Polls & Surveys category but they sometimes venture into other categories. But there are many types of Yahoo Answers Trolls.
The Scroll Troll: A troll who loves to create an incredibly long answer so you cannot see the other answers without scrolling down the screen for at least 5 minutes. The smart thing to do when you see a scroll troll is to thumb them down.
The Reporter Trolls: Reports innocent questions and answers that are not angianst the community guidelines just for fun.
Spam Troll: A troll who always asks the same question or always answers with the same answer.
Funny Trolls: Trolls that make the Yahoo Answers users laugh. Unlike the other trolls, these trolls are actually liked by most of the Yahoo users.
Person 1: Do you go on Yahoo Answers?
Person 2: Yea, but its invaded with trolls!
Person 1: That sucks
Person 2: I know! Yahoo Answers Trolls are so annoying!

Yahoo Answers Troll

First, Yahoo Answers used to be an educational site to ask and answer questions. Now, there's trolls on it. If you use Yahoo Answers and are not a noob or a Top Contributor, you're most likely a troll. Trolls are smartass people who usually tell inside jokes.
Answer of a Yahoo Answers Troll:

Q: "What's the best movie?"

pull a yahoo

"PULL A YAHOO!" = To create a lot of hype around something--really build it up (like Yahoo! Photos and Yahoo! 360), get large amounts of people interested, even "hooked", then close up shop, runaway, then hide behind legal rhetoric all the while still building themselves up to be hip, new, wonderful, fresh...
Sentence: "Gregory put tons of photos on Yahoo! Photos and a lot of time and energy into "Yahoo! 360. Yahoo shut both down. After moving to other sites, I fear that my new web services might "Pull a Yahoo!" and do the same thing as Yahoo!"

"I sure hope Multiply.com don't pull a Yahoo!"

Yahoo Answers Troll

A Yahoo Answers Troll is a troll that lurks on Yahoo Answers and does all kinds of things. They always break the Yahoo Answers Community Guidelines. It is highly recommended that you report any kind of troll. Most, if not all, trolls will use the 'Anonymous' feature so that they wont get blocked and/or reported. Well you can report their answers and questions but what I mean by 'report' is reporting their account to Yahoo Answers Team. The anonymous feature is there so that legit users can use it if they are not ok with showing their name when asking a question or answering one. But unfortunately, the trolls abuse that feature. Any troll that uses the anonymous feature will forever be a coward. You will find trolls mostly on the Polls & Surveys section. But you could find trolls in other sections as well. There are different types of trolls on Yahoo Answers. Here is a list of the different types of trolls:

- Reporter Trolls: are trolls that report legitimate questions and answers just for fun.

- Spam Trolls: are trolls that just spam Yahoo Answers with the same things over and over again.

- Scroll Trolls: are trolls that post ridiculously long answers and you have to keep on scrolling for like a few minutes to see the other answers.

- Funny Trolls: are trolls that say funny things on Yahoo.

- Insult Trolls: are trolls that insult other users of Yahoo.

- Anonymous Trolls: are trolls that go anonymous and may do all kinds of things ranging from reporting to insulting.
Yahoo Answers Troll: I feel powerful behind the screen. No one can touch me hahahaha
