Now the terms I have learnt while being active online are becoming plentiful every day that passes and maybe one day I can write about the effect of the online world on the tiny vast knowledge of terms I have now come to know.

The very first time I heard the term shitpost was on reddit, later encountered it on steemit and now I hear it almost everyday on whalesshares(I am shitpostly exaggerating). If I am grateful for anything more - is the fact that I can just look at my friends penned work in real life and make a huge exclamation;

I T: "This is SHit!"
Dave: Shit what?
I T: Shitpost!!

We would look at one another in what seem like an eternal pause and burst into a quick timed laughter. :joy: . I am grateful for this!. :joy: . :joy:

What the hell is this 'shitpost' slang that keeps cracking me and my boy up?

Shitposting is posting large amounts of content of "aggressively, ironically, and trollishly poor quality" to an online forum or social network, in some cases intended to derail discussions or otherwise make the site unusable to its regular visitors.-- Wikipedia--

Of course there are more definitions to the word 'shitpost' and wikipedia might be anciently outdated or concentric with the purpose behind shitpost. I want to keep this shitpost of mine to a word count above 300 but less than 50,000

For a starter, it's funny that I can't even find the word "trollishly" on most top dictionaries, go figure!. If I am grateful for anything else in this 21st century language evolution, it would be the fact that our communication level is increasing rapidly(pseudo-terms). A lot of slang here and there that the entire world understand except those who are still in the 9th century. Trollishly? You must be kidding me!.

It doesn't end here, I am hoping to learn more about these language evolution, or is it revolution? or language degradation or what!?. I don't even know.

I am not here to interpret the big fat idea of "beauty is in the eyes of the beholder" and core nature of "subjectivity" because I am just an immortal soul who virtually know nothing. But that aside, I am glad that I am learning new terms that my Shakespare-ic class dictionaries/language clubs never had. For a second(Secondly?), I think I am far more fortunate than Shakespare or other freaking writers of old. If there is anything to take home, is the idea that our language is as Frankensteinic as the rumored monster that crawled from many corpse parts.

Jeeze!, I have said plenty, I hope and pray that you do not learn anything valuable from this post, I hope I was able to achieve the language and writing flair of the 21st century. Above all, forgive me if this doesn't sound as Shitty as possible(in my defense I tried to), either way, This is my very own first shitpost. (Even the title of this post sound shitty to me), oh wait!, I might have written many shitposts in the past already or perhaps I have never written any real posts. Beauty Beauty Beauty in the eyes of the beast!.

Hope you had a bit of a good time reading this. See you tomorrow with something not too shitty, well, what do I know.
But for today, drop your shitcomments below, today is the day to do this and have some fun with it, tomorrow we can get all serious and creative again. sTank you (Thank you).

Your Overwhelmed Bro,
Tongue.
