imba-ness

while working yesterday, i kept hearing this word mentioned by my colleagues. it was odd at first. i never heard of such a slang being used in a conversation. for one, i am not a fan of this short form in my sentences. "fml", "yolo", "lmao" are not really my choice of words. the weird thing is when they mention such words, my friends' expressions on the face is totally blank. as if such word is meant to express everything including the face. hmmm.

have i come to an age where everything has to be shorten. and i am expected to pick up all this words. curiosity filled my head for the entire working time since i heard of this word. the thought of asking is sort of embarrassing because it somehow reveals one's age. i know la, i am oldest in the audit team. people in the audit field are so young. 

the imba feeling one has. i don't even know how to use it. help is very much appreciated


thus my effort being put in the G search engine. when i found out what it meanss. i was like. what kind of slang is this. according to the definition,

"Imba is used mostly in online games or games that have patches or different versions. Imba means that something is imbalanced and should be "nerfed" or made worse. When something is imba it means that is is too good and it makes the game unfair."

then i recalled that they use the word to describe how nice a song is. i am confused. i thought it is referring to the situation where once feels unbalanced due to unfairness. but they literally use it to describe the unbalanced feelings they have when listening to a song. what's right, what's wrong? i guess in the world of "yolo and fml", i should just keep my mouth shut. that's the politically correct thing to do.

  1. Never heard it being used before. But i guess that's not surprising since I'm far removed from gaming circles.
