New slang term: Going MeFi on someone - for when you reflexively reply to an argument on a tamer discussion board with the kind of sharp, bloody and devastating rhetoric you honed on the MeFi battleground.
→[More:]Makes me realize what an outlet MeFi flamefests are for really letting fly with no 'we're all supposed to get along and be buds' pretences.

That's just the kind of thing a MeFi apologist would say. I expected nothing more from you.

j/k.

Did you actually see that somewhere, Space, or are you just proposing it?

IMO MeFi is a pretty gentle place. I've been on other boards that are a lot meaner...

So what would that make "going MeCha on someone"? I suspect it involves the use of the tongue.
