I Attempt to Translate Facebook Status Updates. (Classic OOPS! Repost)

February 13, 2013

Hi gang. Due to technical difficulties with YouTube the amazing fantastic historic terrific superlative better than ever post I had up for a few brief minutes had to come down. It was based around a great video but you could not see the video. So until YouTube gets its act together, enjoy this classic repost.

from June 12, 2010

Hi. Do you hate Facebook like me? Sure, we all do.

Yes, FB gives us plenty of reasons to hate it, like sharing all of our personal information with telemarketers in India. Sure, it owns all of our personal vacation photos so we shouldn’t be too surprised when our Hawaiian beach shots turn up in condom ads. And of course, FB games download so much malicious content into your PC that your hard drive would be better off infected with maggots, but none of those are the reason I hate Facebook.

I hate Facebook because it gives every illiterate pre-lobotomy nose picker the chance to show the world how stupid they are.

What follows are actual status updates I’ve found by trolling my friends’ FB pages and seeing the updates of people who linked to them. For the record, I have less than 2 dozen “friends” there, all of whom can spell both their first and last names, unlike this bunch.

What I’ve tried to do, where possible, is to decipher whatever the hell their status updates are trying to say, and wherever possible, make some sense of it.

Here we go. (Take a deep breath and a strong drink. Most of these are recent NYC high school grads.)

watchin transformers, love this movie.

OK, not really hard. The poster is watching Transformers, a movie she loves. Fair enough. But wait, she loves the movie, so she had to tear herself away from the movie to tell people that she is watching the movie? So she paused the movie, told people she was watching the movie, and went back to the movie? Or she was on the computer anyway during her favorite movie and decided to tell people she was watching the movie, which she clearly wasn’t while she was on Facebook? And who cares anyway?

Goin out 2 the city wit ma wife and niece…6ut first gotta drop 6y to ma sis to quench ma thirst.

Hmm. Here is a man with nothing to drink in his house. I’m not sure I’d be too proud of that.

wants to major engineering.

Really? So do I. but first tell me how you “major” something. I suspect the poster means “wants to do some major engineering,” which in this case must mean “make a big sandwich” because I’m not sure he’ll major “in” engineering.

in dha house chillin w| my one and onli x3 ily so much 🙂 yu brighten up my day love yu.

“I’m having such a wonderful time with my you, my love, be back in ten minutes after I jump on Facebook and update my status.” I imagine two people, in separate rooms in the same house, instant messaging each other back and forth. Ah, modern love.

i spend da day gettin my hair done n more shit pops off but i noe how u doin shit now o man imma violate u so bad jus keep it up keep it up………..

Is she mad at her hair?

why do those go back in life and not go foward if they know they’ve been hurt before, rather than to live the life they have now and be happy and settle for what’s infront of them????

This is one of those Back to the Future things, where you go back in time and your picture starts to fade, right?

I have to admit, this is harder than I thought. Anyway, you know all the rules about internet security, about how you limit access to your personal information and never give out certain info at all? This next person was asleep the nine thousand times she heard that message:

Nosey bitch stop fuccin bein concerned about shit that I do or make accusations about my friends … but ill let u noe something this since u wanna go play informa … I attend Medgar Evers College I work full time at Victoria Secret and I’m putting myself through a CNA course at Mannhattan Institute … I dont have no kids my boyfriend is in VA educated and making his money … NOW GO RUN TELL THAT BITCH!

This one made me laugh:

Good morning FB, I’m working on a Saturday. Its a good thing that i’m getting paid overtime for these hrs.

I suspect this guy starts everyday with “good morning sun. Good morning toothbrush. Good morning toilet.” You get the idea. I bet he gets punched a lot.

why do ppl say God has never failed me yet? he will never fail u so dot say “yet.”

God may not have failed you, but I bet your English teacher did.

I FEEL SO GUD TODAY…HAD A TALK WIT MY BABYFATHER’S MOTHER ND SHE MADE ME FEEL A LOT BETTER…EVEN THO IT TOOK ME A MINTUE TO TELL HER SHE IS HAPPY TO WELCOME MY BABY N HER FAMILY….LMAO AT DONNELL UR ON MOMMYS SHYT LIST.

I had to make a flowchart for this one:

That’s it. Time for two Advils and back to bed. This gave me a raging headache.

    I will NEVER join facebook – I have too many internet websites that I’m part of & newsletters, etc., that take up my valuable free time ( hardy, har har ) already without it.

      I use it to post links to this site and keep up with other podcasts. That’s about it. I don’t take it seriously at all. My last staus update was me begging the Vatican to make me the next Pope.

        The next Pope ? The Vatican’s having a going – out – of – business sale / yard sale after Benedict steps down. 😉 Maybe I’m joking, maybe not. Personally, I think the Bernini Altar would look spiffy in the courtyard of this apartment. Glam it up a little.

                Interesting idea ! What about ” Make Room for il Papa ” ? ” My Mother the Pope ” ? I’m showing my age….. & there was a Marvel ( ? ) comic about John Paul II, IIRC.

                  Shoot, I forgot about that comic- The Life of Pope John Paul II, I think was the title.
                  Your Make Room for il Papa is a total winner. 🙂

                    They had one where the Pope was depicted as a ” Super – hero “.

                    They should do one about the Dalai Lama. I met a group of Tibetan monks back in 2001. Great fellows all. They came to E TN via a monastery / temple in Atlanta. REALLY.

                      The Buddhist monks came up here from N. India via ATL. Those guys constructed a sand mandala over a period of several weeks. How they managed to concentrate with all the noise – including a weekly jazz concert – & onlookers circulating around, I’ll ** never ** know. They didn’t speak much English, & there were very FEW people fluent in Tibetan around, but they were friendly enough guys.
                      One redneck thought there might be ” Anthrax in that there mandala – thang “. Dumb.
