FOAD

1. Faggots of a down, a band that caught an 3xtreme case of teh ghey.

2. Fuck Off And Die

3. An e-dialect that is more Engrish than English. Usually involves avoiding capitalising letters and not using proper punctuation, coupled with atrocious spelling. Perpetrators of FOAD seem to think 'tehy r teh 1337', but sadly, they are nothing more than teh gh3y.

The real hardcore FOAD fellas use a lot of those annoying faggotted images called emoticons, and can hold a conversation using nothing but these pictures, much like chimpanzees - except without teh gr3y matter.
