I noticed a ofcouple newspeak memes on here, and i'm wondering if they are being used ironically, or if you guys are seriously using newspeak.
eg; lail (i have been led to beleive is LOL and fail)
spag (i have been led to beleive is spastic and fag)
any others?
Spag has got nothing to do with spastic or fag.
It is just "Spag".

thanks
so is "lail" ironic then?
Lail is from before my time. I didn't witness its creation.

spag is indeed just spag. also you say you have been led to believe it means spastic and fag? by who?
also, i'm not entirely sure if LAIL is LOL+FAIL, could be random bastardiizaytion too. but in either way, how's that newspeak?
I think he has mistaken portmanteau for Newspeak.
Easy enough mistake to make.
If you've never actually read 1984. Or taken English lessons beyond holding a pen and writing your name.

:lulz: thought the same
I call it, NEWSPAG!
Of course, words like "Lail" and "Spag" may just be part of a plot to make it impossible for anyone here to deviate in anyway from our ideological principles, and for our communications to define precisely what we mean while still leaving the art of subtlety (for to terrorise the proles).
I mean, in a forum with Evil Geniuses and assorted others from the Wrong Side of the Tracks, anything is possible.
newspeak=the deliberate use of ambiguous and deceptive talk, as by government officials, in an attempt to control public opinion
newspag= the deliberate use of ambiguous and undefined language, as by discordians, in an attempt to inspire uncontrolled chaotic thought
Nah.
Newspag = Short-hand in-jokes repeated over and over again until they either become funny, or they take on new meaning, which can also be funny. But probably isn't.
Work best if they seem to imply something else such as Spag having anything to do with Fag.

I see no problems with this, at all.

How could you? What's not to like?

wait ... we have principles :?
fuck that shit - I'm gone! :argh!:
We have Newspeak. It follows that we have principles. Or at least an ideology.
I always thought that Lail and Lulz were stolen from 4chan, and were bastardizations of LOL.
lail is our own. And lulz is ubiquitous
lulz was from ed, before 4chan hollowed out everything good about the place.
Psh! Everyone knows "lail" was invented by Gene Simmons.

according to urbandictionary
Quote from: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=lailLAIL (adj) - lail is used to describe something that is unintentionally funny and/or embarassing. This word is rumored to have either been started by Chris "Raab Himself" Raab from the indie movie Haggard or by the discordians after perverting the phrase "lol".
In my head, I hear LAIL as a sort of sarcastic LOL. Like "LAWL" but more nasal and annoying.
It's all just lol to me.

we already have two threads discussing the meaning of spag
a spag is the kind of person that would derail a thread to start a third one
edit-foiled by not quoting :argh!:

This is from the PD Ed.1 right? We should somehow cash in on the fact that our irreligion predicted goatseman before the Internet.
Not only did the PD predict it, you Discordians made it happen.
Goatse man is obviously a Discordian: you can tell by the wedding ring.
