Using 'cos as shorthand for because isn't terribly common, but whenever I see it I become grumpy. What's wrong with 'cause? Or if you must substitute in a nonindigenous letter, at least go with 'cuz.

Don't know if its been mentioned but "cool story bro" is code for I'm a d-bag.

 

[Apple Jack]

Don't know if its been mentioned but "cool story bro" is code for I'm a d-bag.

That one has a shelf-life of one use and only if the user has never heard it before. Hearing somebody else say it and then using it is lame. Continuing to use it? Yes, code for I'm a d-bag.

Stating your stupid opinion and finishing the post with "/thread"

 

[Insein]

Stating your stupid opinion and finishing the post with "/thread"

Only if it is a stupid post. If it is indeed salient and satisfies the OPs main argument or disproves it, then it is still appropriate.

This is also acceptable in seamstress forums.
