Good lord this screenshot hurts my eyes. Use dark mode for goodness sake
Light mode during the day, dark mode at night
Oof ouch my eyeballs
Doesn't that mean your brightness is set too high?
No your Mode is wrong!
So that's how it happens. I thought I was getting old when I had to look up 'based' on urban dictionary.
Thank god for that website, I can't imagine being an aging millennial in 1980 with all the kids talking about "radical" this and "cowabunga" that and not have anything to look up.
I'm curious, how recently did you have to look it up? For me it feels ancient compared to the likes of "rizz" but that's probably due to the circles I've been in.
Pretty based of you to admit.
This post is the first time that I realized reply lines were in rainbow order.
Is it really pronounced "dub"? I've never heard it spoken.
I always hear it as double u
Yeah, unless it was a really important win, then you might say it out entirely to emphasize your utter dominance over them.
Not exclusively, but sometimes.
Duh-b
Honestly don't think it's universal, but most of the time, yeah.
The moment when we change to dark mode and then we need to see shit posts with big white screenshots
Totally
Bright mode? [Hiss.]
So this is why Golden State Warriors are called "Dubs"! Today I learned.
The nickname comes from people shortening Warriors to the letter W. The shorter form of the letter W is pronounced "Dub." It also helps that W represents the word "win" in the world of sports, so when their fans refer to them as the Dubs, they are also referring to the team as winners.
I was there when it was written
is double v
Still a dub
Latin didn't have the letter U, so they wrote V when they said U
Hey! I’ve been invited to sports before. Some people think that me being large, tough, and angry would make me good at roller derby, unfortunately I’m also uncoordinated even when sober
If this some light mode joke I'm too dark mode to be able to read?
noun-pilled.
Was this when all the Johns in the world assembled into a field to fight?

If you want to be up to date on modern slang, fallout where the teenagers rizz with they homies.
W L comes from the W community on Twitch who watch streamers like Kai Cenat. They spam it into the chat.
2021 - present
People were definitely saying this long before 2021. I don't think it started on Twitch.
Knowyourmeme says it's from a 2003 music video
Hey guys, look, a nerd!
Even the site you linked to tells you it's the other way around. The W Community got it's name from "Win" commonly being shortened to W, not vice versa.
