I wouldn’t quite call it a meme… more like a widespread internet phenomenon. It needs some place here though.

That’s a meme ¬_¬

is the dear relevant?

I’m in a meme!

I don’t think we need to get caught up on whether or not this is a meme. It’s a relevent entry for the forthcoming dictionary section.

Also, just a suggestion:
The images section should represent instances of the meme found elsewhere online. By including entries that occur on our own site, it kind of taints the quality of the entry. We want to be a great source of information about memes, self-referential materials conflict with that interest.

This might be worthwhile as an entry as there are many, many images for it — that’s been my current distinction b/w what should be a full entry vs. just a dictionary entry (although this can & should evolve)

and agreed on keeping self-referential documentation to a minimum… despite being quite funny ;)

It’s not a meme, it just a term for long things. >_>

added bunch o pics

Words ARE memes. The question is, did it arise on teh internets?

I think we’ve pretty much decided that most Internet Slang (even popular slang derived IRL) will be implemented in our site in the form of a dictionary/glossary. These will likely not be presented right next to other Internet Memes, but instead as supplemental materials.

i just realized why the teal deer was relevant

No one would say TL;DR out loud, and no one would send any text messages long enough for anyone to TL;DR.
So, most definitely internet-based.

my opinion on this entry: tl;dr

i use this all the time

tl;dr

Adding new picture from Nameless 3!

LOL @ Necronomicon pic.

Seahting you are wrong on the txting part. I get long msgs all the time.

See, this is ironic. Because, when reading the description to find the origin of tl;dr, i tl;dr’d it. lulz for irony?

hahahaaa Teal dear?

well, it is not exactly a meme.
i will define it as as a trolling phrase, it is somthing that trols usaly say on forums.
i am sceptic about this one, mybe it is not yet a meme. it’s like “what is this i don’t even”
-1 (right now, give it some time to get bogger)

I use this a lot on the FML comments sections for my long, irrational rantings, such as the time I was talking about burning down an orphanage in respect to our personal freedoms. These “orphans,” as I believe they are called, really have very little freedoms in today’s modernistic society and we need to kill this establishment with fire. Of course, shipping them to third-world countries could prove to be beneficial as a whole, as well. Think about it. We could sell the help to other countries in exchange for goods and services we (the United States) depend on, thus contributing to repaying our deficits and debts in a more timely fashion.

tl;dr – +1 confirm

I use teal deer. Of even more potential use is teal dove – as in any Youtube clips your friends send you that are more than 3 minutes in duration.

Too Long; Don’t View.

Maybe teal deer, but the slang term “pwnge” isn’t a meme, so why should this be?

-1

actually, usage of “pwnage” as internet slang has been confirmed: http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/owned-pwned

Also has anybody ever managed to read the entire bible? >_>

tl;dr

I’ve never seen ‘Teal Deer’ used before during my long adventures on the Information Superhighway. That needs verification of widespread usage.

That must be a big coincidence. I have seen it been used many times.

I never saw this before until this week when i saw SO MANY people comment’TL;DR’
that i am convinced its a meme.But i haven’t seen Teal Deer.

It’s a bit like “Cool Story. Bro!” But a bit more negative and rage-building.
