Well I don't wanna spread only negativity asking people avout what they dislike. What words do you find funny.

Personally I like zesty, edging and the 'are they stupid?'

SK what internet lingo do you like?

I still don't understand what this means.

In this context, it means praiseworthy. If a person describes something as based, they are commending that thing; however, it is also commonly used in an ironic way. People will praise something that shouldn't be praised in situations where it would be humorous.

I thought it had more of a 'doing your own thing' vibe to it. As in, you could use it to describe someone spending a vast amount of time perfecting an unusual skill.
