About

[Clenches Fist] is an action cue used in online conversations to convey a sudden rush of intense and typically undesirable feelings, such as anger, resentment or frustration, in a manner similar to the use of the expression [Rustling Intensifies].

Origin

The exact origin of the action cue is unknown. On May 21st, 2005, RPG.net[5] Forums member StephenO submitted a thread titled "Clenches Fist 'Nooooooooooooo!'", mocking a scene from the film Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith in which the villain Darth Vader clenches his fist and yells "No!" after discovering his wife Padme has died.

"Nooooooo000oo0000oo000ooooo0oo0000ooo000ooooo0oooo00!" Yeah, it's still rubbish. ROTS is a great film, but the cinema I was in burst out laughing at that bit, which I suspect wasn't Lucas' intention. It couldn't be more cheesily hackneyed if it was "And I would have gotten away with it, too, if it wasn't for those pesky Jedi!" Last edited by Stepheno; 05-21-2005 at 06:54 AM

On November 18th, 2011, Steam Forums[2] member chaotic replied to a thread to complain about Valve's new social features with the action cue "clinches [sic] fist."


11-18-2011, 02:54 AM #10 dont OMG the new add a friends function is a horrible idea. Now I can't see who I last played with and add them? W-- i don't remember peoples name with all their wacky symbols and www. *Clinches this is the most frustrating thing ever. Valve you should really reconsider changing it back to the old way because the new add a friend system limits the user from adding people they like to play with quick and easy. Even xbox and ps3 have a recent players list function for Valve this purpose. This is just bogus and out right stupid. I feel like kick someone in the face right now over this.
