I suppose "OOOh BURN!!!" might be clearer

I have no originality

[ssmit132]

Isn't 'zing' the announcement of an insult? 

Beta 2: Yeah, seriously, Alpha 2. I saw the Bastion when I was a little girl.
Beta 3: You mean you were... a girl?
Alpha 2: ...And smacked back, Beta 2. Zing!

But I do hear 'Oh, Burn!' more often.

I think s/he may not be a native English speaker.

You know, I really have no idea what you are talking about, High Max. Why would you feel insulted? As I see it, chief saw you didn't know what the term meant... and this got him curious as to how many other people might not. He linked to the original thread to answer the question of "What prompted this poll?" I don't see an implied insult anywhere in this.

To use slang actually shows that you don't have much education in English, I feel.

Uh, what? Slang is an integral part of any language. Granted, it's not something you typically use in formal situations, but certainly something worth knowing.

[Scuddie]

Zing is like the perfect comeback or jab at any particular situation with perfect timing.  Something along the lines of this...

* HornDog died.
* BigBoobs died.
BigBoobs:  God dammit, dog!  If you're about to blow up, get the hell away from me!
HornDog:  lol, chill it was an accident.
Scuddie:  Eh, BigBoobs is just pissed because you totally exploded all over 'em!
Wrangler:  ZING!!
BigBoobs:  lol
HornDog:  lol

No not an insult, but perhaps an extension of a dispute that pretty much exists for the lulz, and I wanted to bring some of it out of the MVP3.6.10 release thread.

[Nuke]

and as soon as snuffy wins the poll il lock it

[Charismatic]

Snuffleuphagus. 

Seconded.

[Ninja]

11 - only 3 more, people. sadly i only voted twice - because i'm lazy.

EDIT Oops - still on my other account. Damn

[tinfoil]

there we go - that's better.

[Hellstryker]

I think it best this is locked before that post of high max escalates into something greater.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

* Androgeos Exeunt has voted.

I can only care about one thing.

Zing...as in Zinger?

[General Battuta]

Hehehe, hahahaha. Life is a game to you all, huh? All games to you. The real winners in life are ones who open their eyes to reality and do more than just video games (like children) and have balance in life (both physical and mental balance. Balance in everything). I can get quite nasty too but I won't in a forum.

How sad. It was silly to even make this stupid topic and linking it to my post. I guess people truly don't have a life. So who loses? Definitely not me. I just think it is damn funny to stoop down that low, but if you want to play games like children and waste time, be my guest. I will not have a part of this. To continue this will only encourage this game of yours and escalate this. I have more important things to do than waste time on teens who only play games and nothing else in life (like losers). Seriously, get a life. Maybe you lack confidence and in order to raise your confidence levels, you sink this low to waste time with pointless topics, like teens. I look down on people like that who live in a dream world and have nothing better to do but to link topics to others in an attempt to degrade people for no reason. But if that is what you like, then be my guest and by all means continue wasting you life and time on threads like this. Continue making threads for the purpose of putting me down and linking my posts in other threads to this pointless thread as the topic starter. That takes it to a new low.

In case anyone is planning to flame him for this, he apologized in another thread:

Thank you all for the excellent job on all your work. Sorry, I've been in a bad mood lately. Like most people, I too am guilty of taking my anger out on others who did nothing wrong. But you are all right, the vps are superb and keep up the good work modifying and improving them.

So I think we can let it be and move on.

[castor]

there we go - that's better.

U haxxor!
This thread has evil prospects

[Snail]

looks like snuffy might loose this one

Nevar!

[chief1983]

Well it certainly doesn't have a clear majority, even if it wins the popular vote.

[karajorma]

And I'm going to lock it here rather than letting the waveform collapse.
