Definitions

1

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.

“His mic cut out mid-pitch. F in the chat.”
