I've had it up to here with underage ASL-squatters, who message you out of the blue, be that in MIRC, AIM or any other given method the Internet has developed for communication. I've had it, and I'm not going to fall for their dirty tricks again. I have indeed seen the light. Read the transcript and see the light for yourself. WARNING: If you decide to AIM me just for the hell of it, I'm not going to take it laying down. As in this particular case. God have mercy on sk8airmat and his/hers stubborn propensity in persuing a disclosure of my true personae. Some people never learn, do they?

People have come to me and asked "was that dude for real", "was it a boy or a girl", "when did it happen" and "what the hell does SWAT" mean. Let me try to answer those questions....Yes, you see how that time stamp on the posting says 5:43. Well, that was one minute after I finished that last www.stopasl.com. The whole ordeal took about 7 - 8 minutes.Remarkable how the refusal of even the simplest things brings weak humans to their KNEES! MWHAHAHAHhahahahah. (Okay, I've been watching too much Invader Zim by Jhonen Vasquez lately, sue me). Anyways, I've come to refer to the person as.......it (strong cases can be made as to whether it was male or female. Honestly, I couldn't give a....SWAT!)
Which is a nice link-over to what the actual theme of this posting is. SWAT. You've heard it before, I've heard it before. Sounds cool. Nice little one syllabic, four-lettered words.
Sharp diphtongs. But Derogatory? Naaaaaaaaaaaaah. Let's look at our options to see what it might have been trying to convay, using this simple word.
1) A Transitive Verb
Inflected Form(s): swat·ted; swat·ting
Etymology: English dialect, to squat, alteration of English squat
Date: circa 1796
: to hit with a sharp slapping blow usually with an instrument (as a bat or swatter)
2) A noun
Date: circa 1800
1 : a powerful or crushing blow
2 : a long hit in baseball; especially : HOME RUN
3) A River
Usage: geographical name
river 400 miles (644 kilometers) Pakistan flowing into Kabul River
4) Police Force
Function: abbreviation
Special Weapons and Tactics
5) A Skate Brand

Allright, now we're entering the land of hypothese. It is possible that this brand is particularly disliked in certain skate-circles, and therefore has progressed into a der
ogatory term? From the colours used in these skates, I think that's a probable factor indeed.
5) A hyper-vocabulary
Thesis! Is it possible that in closed quarters, the english language have degenerated into a language more tufted on gestures and mimics than vocabulary of grammar? I am not bashing the splendors of the ebonic language here, I am merely drawing attention to this over-fixation of unnecessary abbreviation that is inconceivably popular everywhere on the net, specially of those either to synaptical challenged or plain lazy to write in coherent plain english. You're means "You ARE" and Your is a possessive noun. U will never mean YOU as long as I have any say in it, and R is a letter, not a verb. Now then, in this debauchery of language that actually exists, is it possible that they are in fact giving up on proper vocabulary, and attempt to replace nearly a million different words with a small number of hyper-vocabulary, whose meanings can be anything, depending on how they are used
? Let me give an example. "FUCK" is a hyper-vocabulary. It's a verb, a noun, an expression....It can replace any given word of a particular sentence, without that sentence losing it's inherent meaning.
"You are a nice man" becomes "You are a nice fuck" or "You fucking nice."
SWAT, therefore, could be a hyper-vocabulary aswell, I presume.
"You are a nice man" becomes "SWAT!"
"We come in peace, do not shoot us, great powerful master" becomes "SWAT! FUCK SWAT!"
"I want to have thorough carnal knowledge with you all the way through tonight until I have to get home to my husband tomorrow afternoon" naturally becomes "SWAT!"
The completion of this highly interesting mindgame is left as an excercise to the reader.
Oh, and remember.
SWAT!
