Use of internet terms

mountainyman · 2006-04-03 22:04:01

This is a serious question does the use of terms like 'sockpuppet' and 'meatspace' create the impression that one is conversant with the Internet or that one is a 'noob' and out of date. I find the term 'meatspace' hilarious. 'I got flamed' 'On the Internet' 'No in meatspace, I'm in the burns unit' MM
