Since when is "*Player* Hwaiting!" a meme and why do people hate it? Its origins weren't formed online and it was hardly ever widespread. I've always seen it as an endearing encouragement for a player.

Hwaiting is a Konglish term that has been around forever. It's origins have nothing to do with SC. Although Korean is my mother tongue, I am also a native English speaker.. and I still cringe when I hear it.. since it makes no sense whatsoever. -_-;;

For me.. "calling it now"/"you heard it here first". ... very annoying.

Does "i'm at work" count as a forum meme?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_meme:

An Internet meme is an idea that is propagated through the World Wide Web. The idea may take the form of a hyperlink, video, picture, website, hashtag, or just a word or phrase, such as intentionally misspelling the word "more" as "moar". The meme may spread from person to person via social networks, blogs, direct email, news sources, or other web-based services.


Debatable I guess, it's not formed online, but it is spread online and it fits the rest of the definition quite well.
Not widespread, hmm, I do think it's recurring quite often at least in the starcraft community? I often see it on TL.

But I agree that it's not annoying, at least for me personally. Maybe for Koreans, because it's making fun of their pronunciation?

Edit: I guess so

Most of them I don't find annoying =/

The only spam-ish things I really mind are in-game stuff like HUEHUEHUE and JAJAJAJA and BR?BR?MANEYZPL0X stuff like that. Gets on my nerves. I guess those don't technically count as meme's but these things are pretty widespread in MMOs lol

I dislike forum memes as well, except for ones that are specific to TL.

It might as well be a meme, I see it here way more than any of the other mentioned memes in this thread so far. For me it just gets really annoying after seeing in the same context more than 10 times.

Maybe its just me but it seems way more concentrated to TL and specifically the seasoned BW fans. I would hardly consider that widespread considering the greater community. Though I guess technically it doesn't have to be widespread to be a meme, I guess I consider a meme being widespread a prerequisite for it being hated.

Is it considered insulting to use it or something or do you just not care for it? Forgive me if its really that annoying, I just wasn't aware there were people out there that rued it so. Perhaps my old BW mind hasn't realized the changing times but I think this is one I'll have to stand by through the thick and thin.

Just seems odd that a term of encouragement is hated enough to be listed among some of these other memes.

Edit: I yelled out "Park Sung Joon Hwaiting" at MLG Columbus and I swear I got nothing but blanks stares from everyone around me and maybe 1 or 2 chuckles. Maybe this was just people silently shunning me for using a phrase they hate and me being totally oblivious but it really seems people were more puzzled.

There is nothing wrong with encouraging/cheering your favorite players on. Its just that with so many clever people here, im sure someone could come up with other cute little catchphrases and whatnot for the purpose of showing support. Seeing the same one being used over and over again is the annoying aspect of it.

The thing that annoys me most are those comics that have to use "le" every fucking frame.

lol

I really hate "lol" as sole response to a post. I also hate that it seems to spread into real life where people say "lol" instead of actually laughing.
Seeing those memes everywhere makes me believe most people on the internet are 13 year olds.

Definitely "This!" is the most obnoxious one...

... but for SC2 specifically I hate it when people tell other people to "L2P"

I agree that most of these are annoying, maybe except for "___ hwaitiing!" because it's meant in good competitive spirit, not to be clever or anything. If it's just saying "___ hwaitiing!" though then obv. it would be wise to add something more substantive.
memes are a dish best served dank
