About

Poasting refers to a misspelling of the word "posting" as seen in other chanspeak words like moar. The slang term refers to the act of posting something on the internet and was prevalently used on 4chan before becoming common on other sites like iFunny and Twitter. The term poasting also carries connotations of posting for the sake of posting, not unlike shitposting.

Origin

The earliest known use of the word "poasting" appears in a November 12th, 2006, Urban Dictionary[1] definition for the term "/b/tard," in reference to 4chan's /b/ board (seen below, left). A November 4th, 2007, entry on Urban Dictionary[2] defines "poasting" as "The act of posting on a message board in an obnoxious and pointless manner" (seen below, right).
