[quote name="Zebco Fuckface"][quote name="Jhoh Creexul"]The "ironic" use of *stars* to *emphasize* words. People have been doing it seriously for a while. Now it is like ripe for HIGH HILARITY. And then it will be abused to the point where eventually it's not even ironic anymore, but REALLY ironic (i.e. they want to use it in some kind of sarcastic way but instead they'll use them seriously, contrary to its initial purpose).[/quote] Except that it's an IRC/talk thing, from back in the days before bold tags. Move along.[/quote]
