F5 is the function key to refresh a page on PC.

In Chinese/Japanese translation Web Novel and Light Novel communities, authors/translators will often have a regular time of the day that they'll upload the latest chapter. Practitioners of the F5 Sect have been known to repeatedly spam the F5 key near these times in the hope of being the first one to access the new chapter, and thus have the opportunity to make the first comment.

The 'Sect' is a joke referring to how many of the Chinese novels having martial practitioners belonging to various Sects (Clans, groups, etc.).

Therefore the users who single-mindedly hit the F5 key in pursuit of first comment ironically reflect the focus that'd be required of a martial cultivator in many of the novels that they are reading.

F5 Sect is an organisation researching on the profound effects of throbbing F5, dealing with the order of rebirth. the pulse of internet. Cultivators of the laws of F5 are forever dominant in the comment sections all over the internet. It is a mystery with great power!

Ryuushima (Of Wuxiaworld forums):
They are a bunch of ---- that spam every chapter release with posts about being 1st , 2nd etc instead of talking about the actual chapter.

Minru (Of Wuxiaworld forums):
I refreshed the page and found a new skyfire chapter without a comment... instead of commenting first first first, i read the chapter. There still wasn't a comment so i nabbed first. Does this make ma F5 member because i got first or a F5 heretic because i read the chapter first?

A toe rag was originally a foot wrapping used, since mediaeval times up until the mid-nineteenth century, to protect the foot from chafing by boots or shoes. As these were, quite literally, rags they weren’t usually washed, and so with use they became very smelly until they were thrown away. Because of the similarity in smell, toe rag also became the name applied to dried, salted cod or other things with a strong, unpleasant, fishy smell. It didn’t take that long before the name was applied to someone who was an obnoxious, unpleasant OIC.
1 “Socks! Those aren’t socks you smelly git, they’re toe rags!”
2 “What have you been cooking? Smells like toe rag!”
3 “I can smell ‘er fanny from ‘ere, proper toe rag.”
4 That Heale Malcolm is a right toe rag.

Oh I'm sorry, you didn't know that Kelly is on eternity leave? She resigned and moved to Hawaii!

I thought she'd need multiple trips to carry her phone, keys, wallet, and Starbucks to her car since she needed the other hand to open the door, but she used her impressive girl grip to carry everything in one hand.
