accidentally ballistic
3 rhetorically-minded language-geeks on 2 computers w/too much culturally confusing crossover going on = a conversation much like this:
me: we have rulz?
cap'nj: yes...calvinball rulles
me: kickass. field goal!
me: bonus points for palindromes, negative points for l33+-sp34k?
cap'nj: (trans for c): WTF?! (for dissing 'leet speek')
me: omgwtfbbq!!!
cap'nj: he says you don't do it well because it's 1337
me: it's not uniform. :-P
cap'nj: clearly you speak a non-standard dialect
me: that's the whole point. it's a calvinballistic dialect.
cap'nj: (trans for c): u got pwn3d!!!
me: dude. bonus points for accidentally saying "ballistic."
me: pwn3d by WHOM?
me: you? him? he wishes.
cap'nj: (trans for c): stfu noob
me: tell 'im to phj34r me.
