FI Language: What people really mean!
-
We all use the forum for insights and some occasional entertainment but there is an underlying lexicon that goes along with it's usage. Some of the newer members will not be aware of the double meaning or plain outlandishness of some of the statements. Here's 10 off the top of my head.
1: "He's dropped massively, time to top up, everyone" - I have my futures in the sell queue, quick buy them so i'm not left holding this crock of shit!
2: "I'm up 24p in 24 hours!" - I'm up 12p in 24 hours because i only got on half way through the rise.
3: I've heard from a reliable source the player is: Transfer/Payrise/due a first team game/International call up/bummed a heron. - There is no reliable source as they've been reading Italian media outlets or their brother-in-law has been spouting shite down the pub again.
4: At 17p "Oleg McNoleg" is a must punt as he's been linked with everyone - A combination of sell queue-itis/Italian media/ drug induced hallucinations as he's either 14/38 years old and/or once punched Dennis Wise/drug addict/shit.
5: Just managed to get 300 "New IPO'ed player" for 30p! - Got 300 "new Player for 30p and then got stung entering the market only seconds later and picked up 300 for £1.78 each and then the arse fell out the market.
6: I've created a graph - I've stolen a graph.
7: Statistically speaking X is... - I'm making it up.
8: Why have i not got my dividends? - I can't read/ i have already spent my dividends and didn't notice I had them/i am trying to view the website on my kids Speak and spell.
9: What do we think about "name of player"? - I'm too lazy to research and also your opinion is irrelevant because i've already bought 2000 so just argue amongst yourselves and drive the price up?
10: I'm new - I'm here to be told to buy/sell Pogba (i've already bought 3, wow they are expensive)

Any suggestion the above statements are related to any real people on the forum is purely coincidental @Ericali

@Ellisandro Some crackers in there 😆
-
I never knew you were such a backstabbing bastard @Ellisandro 😂😂
-
Not sure this is relevant but someone just bought 300 Gary Madine on the ticker 🧐

Gary "No goals in two years but looks shit hot in training" Madine? Haha entirely relevant!
-
@Ellisandro think you missed one
I got fomo - I know nothing about this player but like a good sheep I followed the herd and bought 300
-
Hey... I just created this graph!!

“Im not bothered about whether his price drops by £2.50 in the next 12 months as will surely make that back in dividends.”
Meaning
Ive had this twat in the sell queue for 3 weeks now and i still cant get rid of the bugger
-
He’s at least £2 overpriced, the top end aren’t worth it - Why didn’t I buy in earlier?
-
I think this guy will rocket in the summer months - I bet he looks hot in trunks
-
One that I used to really like but haven't seen for ages was "can anyone explain to me like I'm a 5 year old, why X player is only X price/is cheaper than Y player?" - Roughly translates to "I've just bought a load of X player and haven't a clue what I'm talking about but am willing to bet that I'm smarter than the rest of the forum and am therefore likely to be able to precipitate a rise in said player using my abstract myrth" (promptly gets educated)
-
These are all excellent examples of forum bullshit! Well done.
Now we should post any terrible examples we find into this thread.
Just thought of one more example:
“Anime Harit just got injured so Cenk Tosun will probably rocket” - A combination of spurious fact finding, deliberate misinformation or colossal fuckwittedness.
-
"Jordan Henderson is shit"
Real life meaning is he's a better buy than Neymar! Jump on now!!!

@Ellisandro your comment is the best thing since Kim Kardashian’s sex tape.
-
@El-maestro but what do you really mean......?

The opposite. Kim’s posts are shit whereas my sextapes....
-
"Anybody else's port is down?" - Please, let me not be the only one seeing all red.
-
@Londoner damn. Beat me to it!
'My port is dropping.' = What I really need right now is an arm around me and to be told everything will be OK in the end. Anyone? Please...... Anyone?
