Or..... he tends to over use it. Least on the IRC.
The bricks thing is very popular on the Housepets! IRC, though I am not a fan of it, because it can and has been used to get away with saying things that you should not originally, in the bad way. Maybe I am just looking at one part of it, but it really does bug me when people go overly crazy and violent, then just say bricked after it as in "Ohh, don't worry, I did not mean it." It does not change or excuse the fact that you just said the things you did.
Thats my couple of thoughts on the subject.

The world would be kind of boring if everybody spent all their time worrying about not saying something humorous for fear of offending people.FlintTheSquirrel wrote:I am not a fan of it, because it can and has been used to get away with saying things that you should not originally
I still don't like "Bricked" for a lot of reasons. The main one being that if you just say what you want to say without adding "bricked," people are going to understand that you were kidding and it will look much cleaner and have a better delivery and we can all enjoy the comment. also, it's wordy and odd. Just the idea that you get hit with a brick for joking. And even if you really just HAVE to put a verbal irony indicator, there are much better substitutes, such as "*giggles*," ":P," "⊥," or even "lol."

Which is usually another fine way to do it. Personally I find overly complex smilies to be a bit grating. There's a lot of things that I don't even know what it's supposed to represent. I could just look it up, but usually I can tell from context, because they're often unnecessary.TensaZangetsu wrote:(⌒-⌒; )

Yeah, I can imagine someone using it as an excuse to smooth over a poorly delivered joke that sounded to extreme.

Re: Chat Thread 33
What Kai said.
I personally just use it as if I'm using 'Just kidding~'. I used to use that back then until I met friends that used *bricked* and I thought it was entertaining and more of a comedy-sense then 'just kidding'. Ever since then, it's been a habit and it's hard to remove. I: Though, I would understand that it's been overused lately and stuff but forcing people to stop using it doesn't feel right just 'cause you find it annoying or weird.

It starts out as some some very personal habit/quirk in the first place. And here,Rook wrote:EDIT: Uh, I hate to switch subjects, but what is this "*bricked*" thing? Maybe I'm internet dumb, but does anyone know what it is?
Almost correct. It's the same thing when you always see someone get smacked up in the head or getting kick in the foot because they said something either a, bad joke, obscure joke, might-be-offensive statement, or just up right stated something in an inappropriate situation. For that, together with the "personal habit/quirk" statement, it works almost the same, except this leans towards more like obscure humour rather than crude joke, that your statement "might not get through, but don't mind it much", of course with its little side effect, for it's something personal and I'm not surprised if people keep questioning it.RandomGeekNamedBrent wrote:it is a way to denote that you have purposefully said something stupid. as if someone had thrown a brick at your head for saying it.
And for here, that's very unfortunate, and I'll not state who they are here.Sleet wrote:Though some people have a tendency to overuse it.
That is why we frown upon it when it's overused, and worse, mis-used. You see it everywhere, most of the place, people would want to be a jerk, but don't wanna risk to get into trouble, they took this alternative method, be it using "bricked" or "shot" or "smacked" or "stoned to death" or not, they would assume this is a free pass to get away with their crude jokes. Unintended side effect it may be, we would be off better by taking the effort to identify whether the joke is a good one, or a bad one.FlintTheSquirrel wrote:... but it really does bug me when people go overly crazy and violent, then just say bricked after it as in "Ohh, don't worry, I did not mean it." It does not change or excuse the fact that you just said the things you did.
Can't be too sure about that, we have all our fair share of encountering over sensitive people on the internet, or just out right having a poor sense of humour. If they don't get it and get offended, *We* are the one getting all the blame and trouble. Keep that in mind, it's more like playing safe, rather than keep the joke hanging there while the others overthink, excessively.Psykeout wrote: The main one being that if you just say what you want to say without adding "bricked," people are going to understand that you were kidding and it will look much cleaner and have a better delivery and we can all enjoy the comment.
Now that you said it, I could say the same thing as well, and to be honest, I don't really like "giggles" and the emote ":P" too much as well, however, that's just what I feel, and even for "lol", now I use almost all of them myself, and I can't stop myself to not admit that even those are overused, a bit of irony there. It's simply a matter of taste, surely there are people who get tired of the streams of ":P" and "lol" in a conversation. And I have to admit, in reference to what you said, those emotes also gives me the same feeling that "bricked" gave you.Psykeout wrote: there are much better substitutes, such as "*giggles*," ":P," "⊥," or even "lol."
I myself have seen it a few times, and I'll say it again, that's a case where it's entirely mis-used, and like I mentioned, it would be easy to identify whether the usage is acceptable or not.FlintTheSquirrel wrote:Actually, I kinda mean what I said in the way of swearing or extremely gory violence which I have seen it used for, more than a few times actually.
The usage of "bricked" goes way long back, and you'll notice how it's not used that often, and most importantly, where it's used for, and how.
I took the effort to keep the usage of them all at a balance, I have my fair share of using "just kidding" in some situations, again I said, when compared, "bricked" is mostly a personal alternative for that, in the end, it's the same thing.Dubiousity wrote:What ever happened to "just kidding"?
Yeap, probably as you said, "in your case". But doesn't matter, I'll take that neutrally, first.FlintTheSquirrel wrote:I so badly want to say "^ That". It just sounds better to me in any case.
Now I should probably now ask, is there a particular reason people are targetting this behaviour? Nevermind, I'll answer it myself first, I would understand if it's annoying, but like I said, it doesn't make it any less suggestive for other similar alternative like "lol just kidding, I don't mean it :P" (there I squeezed them all in one).Psykeout wrote: which has all the same problems as Bricked except it's even more stupid to say, as you'll probably kill yourself doing that so much.

Ever heard of cartoon humour? There you'll probably get a hint, I'll have to state that the visual element in "bricked" and "shot" are expressed easier, as in cartoon format, it's the same as what I mentioned just now, getting kick in the foot, or getting smacked on the head.
It's almost the same when you often hear "Hey Chill down man! I'm just kidding/joking/pulling your legs" when someone accidently offended a person because the person didn't get the joke. Now we convert it visually, it's the equivalent of "Oh I said something stupid and I should get smacked in the head", take it with a hint of cartoon humour and violence, and you'll get something a tad exaggerated like "bricked", or like in Tom and Jerry, where "Tom went stupid and trying to catch Jerry who's hiding in his hole, ended up getting caught in the the mouse trap, and "rewarded" with a blistering hand/paw."
Well I'll first apologize for I have no idea what *psych!/sike!* means, and it'll probably a good idea we leave it out, for we can't really compare something personal with something that's widely used.FlintTheSquirrel wrote:Well I must admit that is true, however, the word now-a-days is used probably 5 times as much as psych ever was.

If you want to hold a conversation, atleast, I'm glad to do so. You'll probably get a few ignorant people here and there occasionally, but I'm pretty sure most of us are understanding enough to do so, provided you actually offer it first. I myself have been refraining myself from overusing it too much. And there goes another point, I sometimes used it to lighten up the atmosphere, especially in a conversation, for several reasons.
Like I have mentioned just now as well, I have taken the liberty to force myself to stop using it, for the feedback we got aren't very.. pleasant. Furthermore, the way people overusing and misuse it have, more or less, irk'd me enough to try to keep the standard, though I can't do much myself as a normal member there.NickCole wrote:... Though, I would understand that it's been overused lately and stuff but forcing people to stop using it doesn't feel right just 'cause you find it annoying or weird. (Or even violent, in some cases.)
Smoking: Unhealthy, often ends up in addiction, claiming it's a habit would be a tad off, and it's a global phenomenon.Psykeout wrote:Smoking is a habit. Doesn't make it less annoying/bad/blah.
The common thing between them is, people do it, others get annoyed by it, *FOR* it's not something everyone does.
Personal stuff can ended up as a habit, which applies to the "bricked" or similar. I myself have observed quite a bit, the "bricked" is initially used as a small personal habit of saying "I'm just kidding", how it got picked up by others and become the phenomenon we know today is beyond me. Simply comparing it to smoking would be a gross overstatement, it's an addiction and it's gonna be hard to get rid off, and for the fact that it affects the health of the smoker *and* those who're close to, as well as the alarming rate of increase in smoking-inflicted disease, it's common that the "habit" is viewed as bad, and most importantly, this is not a personal opinion, as opposed to the "bricked" phenomenon.
It'll all ended up being annoying no matter what stuff is overused, like I said, how it's being picked up and spread that far, is both beyond me and out of my control, I personally would prefer if it's kept in a small circle. No matter what it is, people would get annoyed and perhaps even threatened when something is taking over what they're involved in.FlintTheSquirrel wrote:I am not sure I can call it to much of a bad trait, but it does get bad when it is over used true.
------------
Ok now, all in all, to be honest, this is a very old subject if anyone's curious, we have talked this through and it's been quite some times that we got enough feedback that we have been refraining from pushing it too much, but that only applies to some people, for now. For even we, have no control over what others want to do with it, and we can't do anything either if people misuse it. Perhaps a little private talk? I don't know, but I'm pretty sure it's very likely not everyone will be satisfied and that it'll most likely ended up in a vicious cycle.

Much of cartoon humor comes from unpredictability. Using the same physical gag every time you say something as a joke ends up falling flat.
