I just found something that was a) short, b) true, c) relevant, and d) kind of amusing. Thought I'd share.

Oddly enough, I had recently noticed how ubiquitous and annoying the last entry on the list was. I was going to say something about it myself, but Noel Murray beat me to it. Enjoy.

This post is "full of fail" but don't "get all butt-hurt" about me telling you that, "lawlz".

Haha. I Stumbled on that earlier today and it made me smile. But really, in the end, what's it mean? Meh, whatever.

I was hating on how overplayed and unhelpfully non-descriptive the thread title was. Then I read the article. good show.

You can take my "meh," but you can never take my "not so much"!

I was just about to post how annoying it is to have thread topics whose titles don't describe the discussion. Like 'Wow. Just...wow.'

To my delight, I discovered that my annoyance with this thread title was misplaced. And by posting here, I both praise Speed AND express my annoyance.

There's already a thread about this.

I'm confused. Do you mean someone already started a thread about that A.V. Club blog post, or you think the phrase "there's already a thread about this" is becoming cliche?

Ha!

I think you're supposed to twirl your mustache when you say that.

I thought you said "Wow. Just ... wow." when commenting on a photo of an incredibly hot girl, not when you were dumbfounded by someone's stupidity as the article says.

I know the phrase from the Lily books by Kevin Henkes. I used to read them to Tova, and Lily's father used to always say that: "'Wow.' That was just about all he could say. 'Wow.'"

Wouldn't it be funny if that's the original source of the phrase?
