Language Issues

[Gepetto]

Here's my story: I'm an Amercian citizen but only because I was born in the US. Alphabetized in English but lived my entire life in Brazil.Never been a part of a forum in English. Thus, there are some words I don't understand here (took me 2 weeks to figure out "LOL" when I first used ICQ) and I would appreciate some help.


What does "flaming" mean? And "necropost"? And what in God's toilet (i love saying that) is a "flame template"?
Thank you for your assistance (if any).

You are so fucking stupid! Get a clue or get the fuck out!

That's an example of someone flaming you.


Necroposting is replying to a thread that's been inactive for a long time.

And what in God's toilet (i love saying that) is a "flame template"?

God's toilet? WTF is that? Anyway, a flame template is a form letter used to flame someone.
