F in the chat
Streamer-era condolence: type F to pay respects for any small or large loss.
Definitions
A semi-ironic show of sympathy. You say it (or just type 'F') when someone takes an L, big or small, a missed shot, a dumped player, a deleted tweet. The tone is mock-solemn; nobody is actually mourning, but they're acknowledging the loss.
