    Anyone else feel that the use of "RIP" on messageboards and the like is a lazy and insincere way of passing on one's condolences? I see a lot of folks use "Rip" - what does that mean?:confused:

    Why can't the internet people take the time to write a proper message of condolence? It doesn't have to be an obituary but something a little more than just RIP.

    Rip

    D'ya know what I always think when I see it, well it's not like the deceased is going to see it now is it. :rolleyes:
    On the other hand, it's just a way of acknowledging a death, so no harm is being done really.

    RIP in peace as I take out money from the ATM machine, but first I need to put in my PIN number.

    RIP for the night folks.

    I expect answers for your collective lack of tact and moral dysfunction upon awakening from my slumber.

    Have to agree. Not very dark and less than pagan.

    Any form of condolence is fine by me as long as it's meant well.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 24,465 ✭✭✭✭darkpagandeath


    I also want a spring loaded coffin.

    Not Your Ornery Onager


    Rip you a new one?

    Only the curia can speak Latin these days. A 'dead' language, apart from the law.

    Cave canem. Caveat emptor. De mortuis nil nisi bonum.

    Nemo illegitemi carborundum est.

    Is this one about what makes a legitimate carbonara sauce? 'Cause I know you're not meant to put cream in it...


    ...wait, are you meant to put Nemo in it instead? :eek:

    Because most times we dont really care.

    Someone died
    Someone always dies
    Life goes on
    Thank you for playing

    RIP
