Calling out the next trendy Something Awful board trend. by Jhoh Creexul 05/06/2003, 3:30am PDT
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).
