Shut The Fuck Up

Often used in the popular internet comic "Little Gamers" and on internet message board and chat rooms across the nation.

Shut the fuck up. It's simple. When you are annoyed with someone who won't stop ranting on instant messaging, you type "stfu!!" But be sure to limit yourslef to two exclamation points, though, because three will look too angry. You could also type two exclamation points and then a "1". Like this: stfu!!1. This way, the third exclamation point is there, but only in spirit. This puts a little extra anger, but not so enough to make the other person angry at you. :)
