It came about the same way that "pwn" did. (If you haven't heard of it, it's supposedly the same as "own").

Some guy typoed, and was too stubborn to let it go, so he just made something up, saying it was a "better" version of the word.

There was once TES -- The Eulengspiegel Society. (An S&M organization) But TES lost its popularity and they were eventually overrun by TEH -- The Enema Horde.

Every now and then their members inconspicuously pretend to mistype "the" as "teh"...it's a clever way of saying "Hey, I enjoy having tubes shoved into my anus! Please deposit a new and exciting fluid into my bowels, and finish with some hot manlove."

So whenever you see someone pretend to mistype "the," you're supposed to offer them an enema with a studsausage chaser.

Me? I just ignore them.

Simply horrifying. I still contend that when I do it, it's a simple type-o. Maybe a combination of poor typing skills, dyslexia, and inattentiveness, but certainly nothing at all to do with enemas and 'stud-sausage'!

So "That movie is the wicked" is right?

You don't understand, there's a new "leet speak" going around like "teh cool" and "pwn".

Which is probably a derivative of "it's the ****" and "it's the bomb" which led to "it's the awesome," et cetera. Trends rise and fall, most are rather stupid.
#19 Fri, 2 Jan 2004 - 23:02 MacNN
The only thing it's really done for me is pinpoint how old the people are on the net that are typing it.

No...nothing at all... Your secret is safe with us, TI. We love you for who you are. We don't care about your Milk-and-Camomile cornhole cocktail.

Tee hee hee...I said "cocktail."

It all started with Jeff K., duh.
#24 Fri, 2 Jan 2004 - 23:57 MacNN
It pisses me off when the little kids do it, but when one of my friends does it intentionally I think it is funny.

Example:

Quote:
From a recent AIM conversation:
Ozmodiar: did you see the third lord of the rings movie yet?

Ozmodiar's Friend: yeah. that movie is teh sukc


It's not funny, though, when 1337 H4X0RZ do it because that's really how they speak to each other. Those people deserve a shovel to the back of the head.
#25 Fri, 2 Jan 2004 - 23:59 MacNN
I usually see it used in the context of "something is teh awesome!!!1!" But I am still annoyed more by seeing windoze, windblows, etc. I mean, I guess it's kinda funny, but really... it's not that funny.
#26 Sat, 3 Jan 2004 - 00:10 MacNN
What about M$?
#27 Sat, 3 Jan 2004 - 00:41 MacNN
I thought it all started with the clothing people "French Connection UK" or as they like to be known - FCUK.

Next to the FCUK store in Darlo Sydney the clothing store next door started it's own range of slogan T-shirts "CNUT"

Personally I think they should spell check before they print

This is the right answer.

It's also become trendy to say "OMG WTF TEH SUCKS GUYS AM I RITE OH YES I AM RITE LOLOL!!!!"
#30 Sat, 3 Jan 2004 - 01:10 MacNN
OMG! annoys me for some reason as well. Reminds me of a valley girl.

Also, people who cannot distinguish between your and you're.. that's pretty annoying too.
#31 Sat, 3 Jan 2004 - 01:33 MacNN
'LOL' and 'LOLOL' annoys me far, far more than 'teh'

See? My blood pressure just positively shot up there. The only thing that amazes me is that Ca$h never uses it, being an AOL user and all that.

Speaking of which, he's been very quiet recently.
#34 Sat, 3 Jan 2004 - 02:32 MacNN
When chatting, you tend to type fast. Therefore you make mistakes. This mistake just caught on and has lasted throughout the dawn of time.

You wanna know what the sad part of this is?

I actually was able to read that in one pass without thinking twice.

Excuse me while I go kill myself.

I think all these teh words are just started by people with excessive intellectual power who are bent on conquering the world - starting with its languages.

well wtf is meh?
surely not "make everything happen"
#46 Sat, 3 Jan 2004 - 20:27 MacNN
"teh" is usually a sign of a typo, or a sign of a lamer who thinks it is cool to type like "teh sux!!"

What really pisses me off is the word "pwnt" and "conage" which I believe it supposed to be "ownt" and "ownage" but in dumbass-kid speak.
