1. juicer
   joker
2. snipe
   troll

You don't have to be online a lot to know this term. "Don't feed the trolls" is a common admonition -- meaning don't respond to their negative comments or posts.

1. Deleted it
   Moved it to the top of a forum
2. Edited it for length
   Liked it under an alias

If your comment has sunk to a low position or a second or third page, you can move it up by just writing "bump" at the end. Or, if you want to be subtle, you might add new material to your post, but people often see through this tactic as just another way of "bumping."

1. "Dazzle me"
   Send them a direct message
2. Directly meet them
   Donate money

"DM me" is a quick way to ask someone to take a public conversation (like on Facebook) private. Back in the day, we used to say "take it to email" instead, but nowadays most social media sites have direct-messaging capabilities built in.

1. grommet
   noob
2. neophyte
   kook

"Noob" is sometimes rendered with two zeros for the o's ("n00b"). If you recognize the terms "grommet" and "kook," they're from surfing -- "grommet" is a beginning surfer and "kook" a hapless unskilled one.

1. A hashtag
   A pound sign
2. The crossbars
   An octothorpe

In other contexts, this grammatical symbol is called a pound sign or octothorpe. But the hashtag was born on Twitter, where it made it easy to look up a trending theme or idea. #utility

1. absolute
   epic
2. fantastic
   supersized

The mid-2000s were a period when you either "won" or "failed" on the internet; nothing in between. So the verb "fail" became a noun, culminating in the expression "epic fail" which tended to flash in big letters over gifs of cars sliding into snowbanks or dogs falling off couches.

1. Awned
   Iwnd
2. Pwned
   Ywned

"Pwn" is a corruption of "own." It means to dominate or to have mastery over, so the "p" also implies the word "pawn" -- you've been made a pawn or an insignificant tool. (Note that this, like "epic fail" seems to be on its way out).

1. A Minor Aggravation
   A Major Aggravation
2. Ask Me About ...
   Ask Me Anything ...

Reddit commonly hosts "AMA" forums. A celebrity or notable person fields the questions from the general public.

1. Anger
   Embarrassment
2. Jealousy
   Delight

When "facepalm" is written online, it means the reader should imagine the writer performing the gesture of putting their face down in their hand. Often, an asterisk before and after indicates a word stands for a physical movement. *clicks through to next question*

1. Eyelashes
   Eyebrows
2. Abs
   Fingernails and toenails

Yes, as part of Western civilization's ongoing excessive-free-time crisis, we developed a compliment specifically about well-groomed, great-looking eyebrows. It's since broadened to mean someone's overall look is in order.

1. I Really Laughed
   I Really Like
2. In Real Life
   It's Really Lovely

This is often used when you want to meet someone. "Hey, we need to get together IRL."

1. Noun
   Verb
2. Both
   neither

While a lot of internet slang comes from the Black and gay community, some come from smaller subcultures, like hacker culture or the world of fanfiction writing. "Ship" is from fanfiction, where it means a romantic pairing between characters (that often didn't exist in canon, like Harry/Draco in "Harry Potter.") So, if you "ship" a couple, real or fictional, it means you're eager for them to get together.

1. Cane
   Doggo
2. Pupper
   Both #2 and #3

Both of these were popularized by the hugely-popular Twitter feed "We Rate Dogs." This is also where the more-than-10-out-of-10 rating came from, e.g., "13/10."

1. basic
   civil
2. convex
   a drone

The definition of "basic" Has gotten narrower in recent years. It now implies a young woman who likes Pumpkin Spice Lattes, yoga pants (outside yoga class), and brunch.

1. correx
   lert
2. leet
   woke

"Woke" is sometimes used ironically about middle-class Caucasian people who voice all the right opinions and change their Facebook profile picture following every passing trend. YouTube's "ultra spiritual guy," JP Sears, wears T-shirts with the legend "Woke AF."

1. "You woke yet?"
   "Get woke, you!"
2. "Stay woke!"
   "Woke up!"

These sound sillier the longer we look at them, but "stay woke" is the least silly. Fortunately, it's also the one that's correct.

1. Chinese
   Japanese
2. Russian
   Serbian

This word seems to be a Japanese adaptation of the English "emoticon," similar to the way the word "fantaji" means "fantasy" in romanized Japanese. However, there's an argument that the whole word is Japanese in origin: "e" meaning "picture" and "moji" meaning "character." Either way, the word is here to stay!

1. A basic girl
   A hacker
2. An activist
   A senior citizen

This phrase means "totally adorable" and is textbook "basic" slang. Hackers *used* to generate a lot of slang, but lately they seem too busy making elaborate Etch-a-Sketch type pictures out of punctuation marks to invent new words.

1. A short period of time
   A fickle person
2. A work of fanfiction
   None of these

"Fan fiction" is a term that mutated quickly. First, it became one word: "Fanfiction." Then, it became "fanfic." Nowadays, an individual work can be referred to just as a "fic."

1. Installed spyware on their computer
   Set up an online identity that claims to be them
2. Curated their social-media presence
   Communicated with them online while pretending to be someone else

People "catfish" friends and acquaintances for a variety of reasons: to flirt with an unattainable crush, to get honest answers from somebody, or just to enjoy a sense of power over the other person.

1. sass
   fits
2. pots
   shade

"Throwing shade" came first from drag-queen culture. You don't have to be in someone's presence to throw shade at them; celebrities frequently do it in interviews, in which they make veiled slurs about a rival.

1. An Eminem song
   A portmanteau word of "stalker" and "fan"
2. The Stan Uris character in "It"
   Both #1 and #2

Eminem's annoying song "Stan," from 2000, is about a disturbed fan with that name, who sends letters to Eminem, which the rapper doesn't answer in time, leading to a murder-suicide. The simpler explanation is that it's just a combination of "stalker" and "fan," for someone whose fan-hood goes a little too far.

1. Yes
   No
2. Ummm ...

"Thick" can mean "overweight," generally not thought of as a good thing. But it also tends to mean curvaceous and "bootylicious," so it might well be a compliment.

1. Of course not!
2. Heck yeah!

"GOAT" is an acronym for "Greatest of All Time." You might have seen it on a TV commercial for Twitter, in which famous people debated who was "the GOAT."

1. Greek
   Hapless
2. Turnt
   Vexed

"Turnt" has long been a vernacular pronunciation of "turned." Its recent use, to specifically mean "drunk or high," probably alludes to the way personality and moods change under the influence.

1. stand up
   think right now
2. feel my face
   Actually, the phrase is finished

"I can't even" is a standalone way of saying "I'm overwhelmed!" Of course, if you want, you can add explanatory material at the end: "I can't even right now!" or "I can't even with you!"

1. frame-jumping
   photobombing
2. photosquatting
   live-action photoshopping

Although "live-action photoshopping" would be very cool, the actual term is "photobombing." Lots of photobombs are accidental -- little kids or animals wander into the frame.

1. A noob's Facebook account
   A noob's Instagram account
2. A noob's Twitter account
   An online account for cryptocurrency

Twitter is represented by a bird. So it makes sense that new users would have an unhatched egg as their profile pic, but some users never replace them. We're looking at you, Boomers!

1. A bounceback
   A clapback
2. A smashmouth
   "All T"

According to Merriam-Webster, this term has its roots in a Ja Rule song, "Clap Back," which was part of the back-and-forth rivalries of the rap world. It's rare for slang to be so easily traced to a source, but this is one case where it is.

1. Creeper
   Groob
2. Shader
   Tiff

We've been needing this one lately, am I right? 2017 really turned out to be the Year of the Creeper.

1. On a dating site
   On the Dark Web
2. On Facebook
   On Twitter

"Left-swiping" is what you do to profiles that don't fit what you're looking for. We're not sure what happens if you left-swipe someone on the Dark Web, but we'd recommend against it - you might just have put out a hit on them!

1. Charlie Sheen
   Lindsay Lohan
2. Perez Hilton
   Tom Sizemore

You didn't have to be online to use this. Lots of people, back around 2011 and 2012, were saying "Winning!" in a bright and ironic voice, imitating Charlie Sheen.

1. A period
   A comma
2. A colon
   A semicolon

The internet is not a place that rewards good punctuation. Which is why it's all the more ironic that someone took the trouble to correctly punctuate "TL;DR" -- a semicolon is the rare but correct mark you'd use if you wrote those words out. And they correctly punctuated an expression meant to say they didn't really care about writing. #winning

1. TBH
   IRL
2. Mwahaha!
   NFSW

This stands for "Not Safe For Work." In other words, you shouldn't open it there, at least while anyone else is within peeping distance of your screen.

1. With a hard g ("giff")
   With a soft g ("jiff")
2. Oh God, do we have to debate this again?

It seems this one will never be settled. We think there's a little more basis for the hard g, since the word it represents, "graphic," starts with a hard g sound.
