The Current

The new "bae". It is the person you're interested in, but it's low-key. They're your "current" interest.

He's literally so cute, he's the current.

Current Events

Board #400 on GameFAQs. Now the most active social board. Users generally fall into at least one of the following groups:

CEgals - Female posters. Rarely post anything interesting, but hey, they're girls. Lyke omg! Often followed around by white knights (users who love them) and black knights (users who hate them).

Gimmick users - Users who only post about _one_ thing. Sometimes their username will reflect that. They are known to go through great lengths to somehow fit that one thing into a completely unrelated conversation, but if they're feeling lazy, or just suck at what they do, they'll simply spam topic after topic of their own.

CE"vets" - Posters who also frequent CEchat on AIM. Generally act condescending, but in reality they somehow find joy in being considered annoying as hell by the general populace. Go figure.

Experts - Make a topic about economics, politics, or religion, and these guys will swarm in, preaching from their soapboxes like they all have graduate degrees in said subjects. Ironically, most tend to be high school-aged.

Most other people on CE fit the profile of your typical internet forum user; white suburban kid between 14 and 19, loves bands like Sum 41 and Rise Against, nerdy, and a little bitter.

Current Events - The land of snobbery, spam, and obnoxious picture-signatures.

/currentyear/

A word used derisively to describe one's incredulity at some specific modern-day fact or event in society that:
1) No one asked for
2) Would have been viewed as totally ridiculous ten years ago
3) Is still totally ridiculous

"Yes, I know that bobby marrying his transgender goat sounds weird, but let's not forget that it's /currentyear/."

Person A: Did you hear that dogs are now considered racist?
Person B: No, but I knew that they would be, since every new day is peak /currentyear/.

We are currently experiencing higher-than-normal call-volumes

Bu**s**t!! This is merely what you **always** say when someone calls your help-line! You're just too cheap to hire enough customer-service reps!

Unless there actually was a recent major event like a power-outage or security-breach, DON'T BELIEVE IT if a company's caller-greeting recording says that, "We are currently experiencing higher-than-normal call-volumes; you may stay on the line and wait for the next representative, or you can leave a call-back number for one of our reps to return your call during this same business day, or you might want to try your call again later"... again, DON'T BELIEVE IT --- in all likelihood, this is merely what they ALWAYS tell ALL of their customers who call, no matter what time-period it is ! And whatever you do, DON'T THINK THAT "LEAVING YOUR NUMBER" WILL CAUSE THE COMPANY TO CALL YOU BACK... I have waited ALL THE REST OF THE DAY for a call-back, and the company **never** got back to me! The best thing to do, therefore, is to simply "stay on the line" to "keep your slot in the cue", even if it means a long wait... better to eventually get through than never reach a live person at all.

What currently has a positive verticality?

A nerdy way of saying "what's up?" Usually only used by nerds with at least some partial social skills. When used by a socially inept nerd, it will generally be spoken to one who wouldn't understand. This is commonly responded to with "The vast expansion of blue, or some sort of solid between it and myself"

Sheldon: "what currently has a positive verticality?"
Penny: huh?
Sheldon: I said, what currently has a positive verticality?. My god woman, can't you hear?
Penny: I meant, what did you mean by that?
Sheldon: well, since a positive value is...
Penny: Can I just say the sky?
:nerds in audience laugh:
Sheldon: Amazing, you were able to pick the right answer, though you forgot to mention the solids between it and us
Penny: Whatever, look, is Leonard home?
