Why GMH, why?

How could you bring this horrible euphemism down upon us?

    No, only CA and AU found it interesting and nornagest and AC drawings and AndrewWK whatever his name is that is always sorry used it as opposed to spamming or shitposting.

    Something tells me that I had a hand in this thread's creation...

    You think that's bad? Louie W once used the euphemsism "pooppost". That is horrible.

    Once?

    Besides, LouieW is way cooler than any of you losers, he can get away with it.

    Which is one of the reasons I cringe every time he posts in a Wonderpost Thread, or anything addressing shitposting, fearing he might use that word again.

    I came up with "wonderpost" as a one-time humorous euphemism, but others found it interesting and adopted it, so I began using it as a result.

    Pooppost is less charming, but it amuses me even more.

    I find it kinda funny that the "wonder" pretty much replaces the "shit". Makes really a nice euphemism.

    But if you excuse me, I have to go to the bathroom and wonder a bit...

    As a petty and vindictive person, I have to take extra steps not to appear petty and vindictive.
    To me it always felt kind of aggressively nice, as in implying that there is no way you can not enjoy the constant thread derailment and idiocy.

    I viewed it a little more biting by virtue of seeming sarcastic.

    I thought it was more like British sarcasm.
  • MillerCrossMillerCross
    You can change. You can.
    I always thought of it as a sarcastic "awesome"

    Like: "Great...a wonderpost"
  • KhwarizmiKhwarizmi
    Because you never know what you might see.
    ^ Yeah, that's how I took it.

    As kind of sarcastic, but lightheartedly so.

    So I guess ironic, in the actual sense of the word, not the hipster sense.

    I view wonderpost as "wow, I didn't see that coming but it was very entertaining."

    Which is why I don't like when people fuse spamming, wonder and shitposts together since some of them people might like.
  • KhwarizmiKhwarizmi
    Because you never know what you might see.
    Wonderposting is definitely less negative than spamming, yeah.
  • VorpyVorpy

    I viewed it as tiers:

    Wonderpost: Off-topic, doesn't make sense, but was an entertaining read.
    Shitpost: Off-topic, doesn't make any sense, please locate it to a thread for it.
    Spam: Off-topic, absolutely worthless regardless of content, advertising is not allowed.

    I've always seen it as a sarcastic euphemism, meant to look like Insistent Terminology or No Except Yes or something.

    Yes, AU, we know you didn't coin it.

    It was an "in b4" thing.

    I have to wonder: was nobody else bothered by how hostile to conversation some parts of the TVT fora became? If 'wonderpost' was meant ironically, Sand Josieph et al. didn't get the irony and took it as a license to post off-topic nonsense all over the place.

    that's because he's awesome! *shoots gush josieph*
