I don't think internet acronyms really have an origin, they just kind of coalesce from the vast web of text-based human interaction.

One of my earliest Internet memories is pestering people on Runescape to teach me acronyms or "txt talk" as I called it back then.

From what I have seen, people just make acronyms up and sometimes they catch on.

Yeah.

[Arx]

Page roll - Cinder said that, not me.

[TheBiggerFish]

Not pageroll...I literally didn't even figure out you were backronyming? what Cinder said :v

Wait, that's what he did?

...whoa.

Welp, now I have to mail you a trophy.

[TempAcc]

Scan it for butts before opening, Arx. Hopefuly its just a virus.

[TheBiggerFish]

"mail"
"Hopefully it's just a virus"
I would rather not get a virus in my mail?

[itisnotlogical]

Every time I open a letter I'm disappointed that it's not just a big handful of used syringes, anthrax dust and scorpions.

Pffffft, what a pansy

When life gives you virii, you say thanks

Now that is a winner's attitude. On a completely unrelated topic, I need your mailing address. By the way, what are your local regulations on mailing BSL-4 compliant containers?

Anyone ever get the impression that Willy Wonka was full of it and behind the tour was a much more normal ACTUAL factory?

I mean... the Chocolate River actually seems less effective the more I think about it.

I think that was the entire joke behind the Futurama Slurm factory. That, and "still warm!" soda coming straight from a slug-aliens gaping rear orifice.

[pisskop]

Soda is about as healthy as slug-rears.

Less so even, Id wager.  escargot is after all a delicacy in places.  Some weirdo places, where people surrender all the time.  A land of midgets riding horses while touching their nipples behind their overcoats.
