Srsly
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
According to Dictionary.com, srsly means the following:
Did you mean sr sly? Suggestions: sr sly rape bus SRS Sisley sorely
[edit] O RLY?
Of course, this article wouldn't be worthy of inclusion on ED if we, the lulz reporters in the field, didn't undertake any action to use our journalistic yet scientific fifth sense to determine what Srsly really means. A shrewd test on OKCupid hinted us towards Slashdot, where we posted a poll on what the possible definition of this word could be. We came up with the following answers.
- 86% - Internet speak for "Seriously".
- 13% - A malapropism of Lysergsäure-diäthylamid, supposedly it was secretly pluralized by W.
- 01% - Jews (only Cowboy Neal voted this).
- 08% - A word needed to be used at the end of every sentence by a gay fag named Amir to feel more secure about himself. Amir is also afraid of vagina. He will one day suck his last cock and become an hero. He took a class on how to not fail at life and got less than a "D". Young females who meet Amir may not be fully aware of the inevitable surprise ending.
Seeing as the internets is always right, it is obvious that definition one is correct and should be used when necessary and when absolutely unnecessary. Still, might someone interfere with your (by now) divine internet speak wizardry, point them to the fact that a. you did it for the lulz or b. the war in Iraq is justified. Either of these remarks will strike your nemesis with a grievable sadness and will most likely decrease the subject's e-points, a winnar is you.

[edit] Usage Note
The word Srsly has gone through an epic evolution since its inception. This word once meant something to people, you could say it out loud and you'd have people's attention, and would verbally satisfy them with soft tender words of wisdom. Nowadays though, it is only used by 13 year old emo kids and generally any kind of people that are incapable of producing well-versed sentences. Srsly supposedly adds a witty edge to a statement, but in all honesty, it has grown an old meme. It's a disgrace to yourself if you choose to use this word, though the adverb version can be tolerated in some situations but even then, try to write it in its normal full glory, so you won't be noticed that fast by (the genuine) internet police. People who, notwithstanding the shocking etymological history of the word, have used it, have fallen, and they've fallen hard. Using Srsly the way emo kids do, will disqualify you from participation at ED. Also, there'll grow tiny crusts of stalactite on your behind making your ass an autonomic physical region of your body, sucking itself onto any rectangular object that lurks in its surroundings.
