Yes, Nony is awesome. Yes, he is a beast at SC and is really cool too, and I can't get enough of the DukeToss. But FOR THE SAKE OF HUMANITY, HE IS NOT A BALLER.

If something's cool, it's not "baller". It's "cool", or "awesome", maybe "groovy", even "pimptasmical". But it's not baller! A girlfriend making an amazingly thoughtful gift for her lovely is not baller. It is just wonderful and adorable as hell. Jaedong shooting off green ensnares all over fantasy's face as he proceeds to rape him is not baller. It is godly.

Jeez, you all sound like a bunch of lamers trying to make something sound gangster whenever you use that word. What's even worse is that you're using it only because Tasteless started using it on GomTV.

Baller:

EDIT: To make myself clear, Baller = ignorant, hedonistic dumbass who has no real talents.

Not a baller:

I am almost positive this has been addressed before, but considering how often the word is used (just type in "baller" in content search), it would be wading through an endless mass of people trying to identify all aspects of life as "baller" to try and find that thread.

Oh, just for the fun of it, here are some recent examples. Maybe you can see just how bad it's become.

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

RAPED since beginning...

Fucking janbi BALLER

or, to make it even more baller, have a Terran ally give you a CC to infest and proceed with the whole infested terran -> worker rape thing

Do not even compare (T)Leta to (T)Mind. (T)Mind is S-class baller.


etc.

My point.

Seriously, though, this shit's turning into an epidemic. I'd much rather have 1a2a3a over this.

Yeah I think the use of baller in BW is quite inappropriate.

Mind > Leta for sure

I'd think that you don't understand that I'm pointing out the incredulity of using baller as a synonym for awesome.

Hahaha I love the word "baller". It does get overused, but some SC players are serious ballers (both in real life and the game).
Can't believe I'm still here playing this same game

I thought the Baller word originated from the online Poker community, and those guys if anything aren't gangsta.
