Plz

From Encyclopedia Dramatica

Jump to navigation Jump to search

Plz can go at the beginning of a command or at the end of a sarcastic or condescending remark. Although it evolved from the word please, it has a very different meaning.

Fuck you

Please, on the other hand, is a stupid word invented by old people. It's basically a way to apply social pressure in order to get to get people to do what you want.

Please v. Plz (2009)

Definition of Please

"You have to do it now because I said please."

Reasons For Saying Please

To get people to do what you want
- Getting women to shut the fuck up
- Getting your teacher to leave you alone
- Telling people to stop sending you convenient adverts via mail
Making yourself sound classsy
Making you look better than others
To draw attention to yourself
Make others feel better about themselves
It's easier than saying I would really appreciate it if you do what I'm about to say because I feel like my opinion is more important than yours and even though I'm saying "if you want to", because I'm saying this you have to otherwise I'll call you an asshole and get everyone to hate you for denying me.
