Make a thread about it

A commonly used reply on mx to stupid or whiny posts. Users of the phrase would eventually become victims of the ban-axe, but it resurfaced in a particularly hilarious thread, when a user retold an event of his day whence he had told an obese, obnoxious girl to "make a thread about it" whatever she was bitching about, which was interpreted as "have a period about it". User got in major trouble with authority. We laughed. The thread inspired others to admit to using web language by accident in real life. We laugh at them (me) too.

tears_fall452: Man guys, my girlfriend broke up with me, and now I can't focus. I'm crying constantly, and I can't think of anything to pull myself out. What should I do?

Potato Salad Thread

When an online discussion deviates from the original topic and you end up talking about something totally unrelated.

So much for getting advice on fixing my car, this really turned into a potato salad thread.

The red thread

The red thread- a verb(theory) used to describe the phenomenon that every freshman in Brooklyn, as of now, is in some way connected to each other or knows each other through friends or connections.

Nerdy Nancy: this girl Tracey Sigil I met through Kenzie is..ugh, like actually. So annoying, no one likes her.
Turned up Tabitha: You know TRACEY GIRL? I go to school with her.
Kocky kieran: you know her too? She’s on my soccer team.
BiscuitsNGravy: what the CRAP?! that girls mom is friends with my mommy..how do we all know her?
Nancy: oh yeah, the red thread.
Turned on tabitha:

Ejactulate, evacuate, and evaporate

Stay sexy ladies,
the Flamingos Ass, out.

threadbombing

"Threadbombing" is posting an image (or images) with superimposed text in a forum thread; usually to illustrate a point. Often, the "threadbomb" conveys a humorous message of disdain towards the original poster or the entire thread.

That noob needs to read the forum rules. He's been threadbombing our board all day with his tired images.

ThreadKiller

a biting wit seen on facebook that effectively kills the thread, regardless of topic. 45 comments might be flowing freely on a thread, and then this person comes in, and either through wit, political incorrectness or pure non sequitur, prohibits anyone else from posting to the thread, effectively 'killing it'

dude did you see that thread that john had on his page?

yeah it was great until that guy posted the cameltoe pic!

i know, what a threadkiller.
