IM IN UR FAVRITS, WASTIN UR TIME

Although I’m definitely not a cat person, there is one cat-related website that I want to share: icanhascheezburger.com, a bust-a-gut funny collection of pictures of (mostly) cats with amusing captions written in a garbled, misspelled version of English known as lolspeak or kitty pidgin. Simply exploring the site is probably the best way to understand it, but the Wikipedia article might also be helpful. People have also translated Genesis 1 and most of the Bible into various forms of lolspeak for your amusement. At first the language takes some processing, but like any other languages, it gets easier over time. Lolspeak draws from textspeak (the language of cell phone texting), leet (an Internet language used by online gamers, chatters, and programmers), Ebonics, and other sources. On icanhascheezburger.com, users submit pictures and captions for consideration, and the webmasters post about a dozen of the best each day. Enjoy!
