Have you ever accidentally said something like "FF" or "HP" in conversation outside of the forum?

I don't think I have, at least not that I'm aware of.

Yeah I call people FFs sometimes, both purposely and accidentally.

I've started using "RIP" or "#RIP" to react to negative situations in a way that almost begs me to follow up with "FF"--I'm afraid one day I'll crack. I intentionally use terms like "poors", "olds", etc., however. I believe I once self-consciously used the term "moderate hero".

Now that I thought about this, never, actually.

Weird.

If I, after +40000 posts and seven years, haven't used Atlas lingo in RL, then you can avoid this as well.

Only while with other Atlas posters...

I have said "el oh el" a few times in person when I was a teenager though. It was pretty embarrassing.

I've had to stop myself a couple of times from saying "FF" but I don't think it ever happened.

No one even noticed either. I don't think most people realize it's not an actual word. I know I didn't at first, lol.

As far as I'm concerned, "moderate hero" is a kick-ass, wry neologism that needs to catch fire everywhere.

To the OP question:  No, though I've started to say "MASSIVE FF!" to myself inside my head all the time, 50% of the time sarcastically.

Accidentally? No. Purposefully? Yes. I'm a good forum member and try to propagate our culture whenever possible. Some of my hits include:

RIP
FF/HP
ODF
Glorious news!
Moderate hero

Same, LOL. Tongue But thankfully I never used it IRL.
