I know how a lot of us like to condemn "political correctness" or whatnot, but saying something crass (and , honestly, I've never seen someone use GTFO in a non-crass situation), where half of the shock value is just the language, is pretty pointless.
There's a lot of stuff out there by comedians about how saying "fuck" is probably the cheapest way to get laughs. It's pretty much cheating. At least saying your server is a teapot is slightly unexpected.
considering what the output is supposed to be, I would think something like PLZSTOP would be slightly better than GOAWAY, but in any case GTFO is not even really funny, kinda wears away at our already limited supply of swear words, and isn't worthy of the high-grade humor that is internet specification humor.
- humanrebar 13y agoI don't think GTFO is as crass as the actual word 'fuck'. FUBAR, WTF, PITA, and SOL are certainly colloquial and arcane, but I don't believe they're considered swear words per se (maybe WTF).
