"Skeet" became popular because the right people said, "'Skeet?' Really? Ugh." at the right times.

...yeah, necro'ing the thread. It's the shitposter thing to do.

I hate “skeeting.” I hate “skooting,” or shooting and being shot. Over there, I hated tweeting, and I guess now I would hate xitting (pronounced properly with a -sh-).

But I comment, though. What a perfectly usable word: “comment.” There’s also “remark.” Or even “mark,” as in the old phrases, “mark my words,” and “mark this.”
