    Yeah but the other guy could’ve pasted that word in the nearest search bar, gotten their answer, and not looked dumb.

    Also maybe it’s a newer thing but I don’t think I’ve heard people put that suffix on the end of words outside of trying to be funny by sounding dumb.

      Oh, I agree. I was just trying to add some context to the guy’s comment, because it seemed like the question (while avoidable with a quick search) was taken as malicious, whereas knowing the context makes me read it as jokey/curious at most.

      They could have but there shouldn’t be anything wrong with asking a question, even on social media in the world of Internet search. Because we still have to interact with each other to be human.
