'Teh' Terminology?

Long time lurker - seldom a poster. I want to ask why a lot of you type ‘teh roidzzz’ or ‘teh abzzzz’ ( yesterday I read ‘teh manzz’) instead of ‘the’ roids or ‘the abs’.

At first I thought it was a typo, but it seems those that do it, do it only for those words.

Is there a reason?

Apologies PX if this isn’t strictly a body building question.

It is for comic effect.

Satire.

Why did you apologise to PX?

Anyways, yeah, it’s satire.

For teh lulz

Alin, are you suffering from teh ghey?

Teh wut?

wikipedia knows all

teh fuck is this shitzzz?

Stick to lurking ya mong.

If it’s the same Alin who frequents other boards, then he’s a good guy…

It’s also because that’s how the cool kids, aka l33t hax0rz, type.

Okaaaaay…Firefox underlines words misspelled or unknown. For some reason “haxorz” is unknown/misspelled but “hax0rz” and “l33t” are known/spelled correctly…

lulz @ OP apologizing to teh prof.

lyke, wut r u, sooper homosex?

As he says. Little known but not at all hidden fact: 99% of ALL internet culture comes from 4chan. Every fucking little clever meme you like and all of those clever viral videos all spawn from that cesspool. It is really quite interesting to watch. Eventually 4chan’s influence even reaches those outside of the interwebz - you start to see people on fucking fb(not interwebz territory per say) typing in 4chan slang(and almost nobody even knows they are using their slang). Hell how many people now refer to bad attempts at what-the-fuck-ever as “fail”? Where do you think that came from? lol… 4chan is so ridiculously influential on our culture…

In short “teh” is a spelling derived from 4-chan slang. It has seen use throughout the interwebz since its inception.

I would however argue wikipedia on it being at all related to l33t as I know firsthand it is not. L33t 15 R353RV3D 4 |/|45k1N6 5P33CH 1N a N4TUR3 51MiL4R 70 7h15. This is elite or “1337” speak.

I said “Leet is reserved for masking speech in a nature similar to this.” by the way
