The use of "fail", "lulz", and "this"

When did the use of "fail" and "lulz" become cool? Also, it has become in vogue to quote another post and only use the word, "this". Why? These worn out internet message board one-word replies are stupid by anyone's standards. Use of these words make the poster lose any credibility with me. The people who use them seem to think they are on the cutting edge of cyberspace coolness. I assure you...they are not.

I thought "lol" was bad.

This guy is going to have to learn that you can't post random stupidness on here and get away with it.
