Hold up, putting three dots at the end of a sentence (an ellipsis) like this... That's now interpreted as a 'fark you' buy the these crazy kids on the intertubes?

Gaius Marius posted:What the gently caress are you talking about Today, I was told by someone who I have a lot of confidence in that people her daughter's age (16) use an ellipsis as short hand for gently caress you. Basically a form of hyper-snark. Yeah, it's a little hard to see how three dots at the end of a sentence evolved into gently caress you but that's the claim. It came up in the context of the sort'a hilarious misunderstands that turn up in texts between this person's daughter and this person's mom. Poor old Herb Cain. This would have killed him if weren't for the fact that he's already dead.

It's context based. Used in dialogue, it can mean a trailing voice, or an intentional pause; i.e. if someone interrupts their own sentence. quote:Well, when you put it that way... quote:I got a bad feeling about this... In quotations and citations, it means that parts were intentionally omitted, usually for succinctness. In other literary context and in math texts, it pretty much means, "and so on."

The idea of trying to indicate omissions and pauses and having some poor child assume I’m just being insanely aggro out of nowhere is very funny, to me.

It's not really a far leap to go from the exasperated email ellipsis to literal gently caress you. The trailing off use has basically stood in for an exasperated sigh in boomer and gen x (and a lot of millennial tbh) email parlance for as long as I remember. You can read a literal gently caress you with a small mental hop in something like "Bill, I thought we agreed on cleaning leftovers out of the fridge in Fridays..."

Like you say, it can be used for expressing frustration or exasperation. For a reader who may not be familiar with other usages it's not a giant leap from there to being pissed off at Bill.
