What is a lamer? How do you become one? Is it fashionable?
I saw some really kewl guyz 1nce. They fancied themselves as hackerz and typ3D eveRytHiNg in tHiz rath3R p3culIaR (but kewl) manner. I think I want 2b one of them.
I went to the lame translator:
http://www.ib1B|i0.0rg/dbArberI/|aME/ (http://www.ibiblio.org/dbarberi/lame/)
and learned to type like them. Then I started a warez n crackz n hackerz site n guestbook. Then I lost all sense of grammar, doing everything possible to aggravate the average netizen, including calling myself a global capitalist n spamming people n having a splash page on my site with a 500k image of a squashed cat.
But every1 ignored me. I don't geddit.
Seriously, what exactly is a 'lamer' ?
Is it an american term similar to the english 'plonker' or is it specific to the internet. It's just that someone called me a lamer and banned me from an IRC channel (and rightly so :o)
