After ignoring such comments for years, I can bear it no longer. What do these comments really mean?

I could understand if it refers to someone who claims to represent a company but otherwise have no idea. TIA.

    If you can't stand it here please do not go onto reddit.

      Depends on the subreddit. Some are okay. Some seem to be speaking an alien language.

    you couldnt google this??

      I did, restricting my search to the ozbargain.com.au domain as I thought the term was specific to this site. I now know that isn't the case.

      Is posting this question and having a relevant answer for others to see so bad?

        I always thought the term "broden" was unique to this site. I was wrong.

          I thought it was too. I'm guessing a member posted that definition?

          • MS Paint on 10/03/2021 - 16:06

            @John Kimble: But scroll down to the other definitions. Nasty stuff about dogs and rats etc.

            Eg.

            A broden is a fat xxxc who Likes to xxxx his dog and looks like a caveman

          That's blatant self-promotion there!!

          That definition was made by:

          "Broden, August 30, 2015"

          And they've only contributed this one thing to UrbanDictionary.

      I think I was the first one to start that meme by pointing out their membership length and then everyone else copied me….

        "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery"

        • Zachary on 11/03/2021 - 23:43

          Depends on the connotations of the imitations and it's intention….

    if someone had the username "Thortism" and was being autistic in a thunderstorm, you are free to say "username checks out" without the fear of SJW reprisals
