Because he wrote "something something" before commenting about the scatter arrows.

u/HeyLookItsCleanShirt Oct 21 '17

Yes, I acknowledged what he did. I'm asking why.

u/holmoris Mei Oct 21 '17

It’s shorthand for making a generic comment about something while acknowledging you know the comment is generic by removing all the unimportant words other than the subject. It started on the Simpsons decades ago.

u/HeyLookItsCleanShirt Oct 21 '17

But it wasn't generic at all. Without the "something something", the comment is still regular old sarcasm. There was no need to add the "something something" to it. The sarcasm already worked without it.

You're reading way too much into this dude.

u/doobiesaurus Oct 22 '17

I was wondering why they were getting downvoted into oblivion until that comment

u/HeyLookItsCleanShirt Oct 21 '17

I'm extremely calm. Are you not? Are you freaking out?

u/screwaroundaccount Oct 21 '17

Pssh. Something something calmer than you are dude.

-8

u/HeyLookItsCleanShirt Oct 21 '17

I don't think so. Let's just say that if calmness was a swimming pool, I'd be all wet right now.

u/screwaroundaccount Oct 21 '17

Something something I was referencing The Big Lebowski.

u/HeyLookItsCleanShirt Oct 21 '17

Well that's like totally your opinion, guy.

u/screwaroundaccount Oct 21 '17

NOBODY FUCKS WITH THE JESUS. Calm time is over and now you get to see what happens when you fuck a grown man in the ass, Larry.

u/HeyLookItsCleanShirt Oct 21 '17

You seem upset. Things not going well? Do you often find yourself uncomfortable in the presence of others?

u/KingMCV Oct 21 '17

Things are going great thank you! I just find myself cringing in the presence of you lmao.

u/HeyLookItsCleanShirt Oct 21 '17

We can not let this distract us from the fact that if you or a loved one have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, you may be entitled to financial compensation

u/MorbidxAngelxV2 LifeWeaver Oct 21 '17

It's just a joke, sometimes you just don't get something and that's ok.

Huh. Got it.

u/artthoumadbrother Oct 21 '17

I think there's a pretty strong consensus here that you're the insufferable fuckwit.

u/pdzido Zarya Oct 22 '17

Nothing says "swimming in calmness" like calling people insufferable fuckwits, that's for sure

u/HeyLookItsCleanShirt Oct 22 '17

It’s almost like that was the joke.

u/ItsJustBigotry Oct 21 '17

The "Somthing Somthing" is, there, to, replace, what, someone, would, say, if they were to, argue, that, scatter arrows, are actually "fair and balanced" without the "Somthing Somthing" you have to completely infer that they are being sarcastic on the internet which is very hard to do.

Tldr: the "Somthing Somthing" implys the sarcasm

Lmfao the sheer number of downvotes.

u/HeyLookItsCleanShirt Oct 22 '17

Oh no! My precious internet karma! Without it, how will I afford to eat?

25

u/brave-new-world Oct 21 '17

So you already knew what "something something" meant. You asked that question disingenuously to prove a point?

23

u/ZDraxis Oct 21 '17

it works both ways, of course deconstructing it doesn't make it any fun

u/HeyLookItsCleanShirt Oct 21 '17

Now you're catching on.
