Tis a shit thread, this; and OP doth faggotry too much

>>5472074

tfw does mean "that feel when." for face its "mfw" and "yfw" (my face and your face)

The other guy is poorly trolling

>>5472074
that was my face when and it almost always ended up in some shit saying >mfw i have no face

>>5472084
"mfw" means "my feel when", I hope you're joking noobie

You post a reaction image with it that exemplifies that feeling

>epitohm for epitome

>>5472061
I really really really like this image.

Middle English spelling is pretty strange

my post was in late Middle English/very early modern English from the 1490s

in fact all those words appear in William Caxton's 1496 translation of the Aeneid

sadly he doesn't stick closely to the original so comparing it to the Latin and modern English for comedic effect isn't possible

but you can with Gavin Douglas's 1513 Middle Scots translation:

Latin:

Arma virumque cano, Troiae qui primus ab oris
Italiam, fato profugus, Laviniaque venit

Literal translation:

Arms and a man I sing of, Troy's first to the coast of Italy, a fate exile, to Latinium he came

Middle Scots:

The batalis and the man I wil discrive,
Fra Troys boundis first that fugitive
By fait to Ytail come and cost Lavyne

> being this retarded

'tis = it is, with the apostrophe replacing the i in it.
t'is = this is, with the apostrophe replacing the his in this.

Middle Scots was spoken from the 15th century until the early 18th

it was a bridging point between Northumbrian Middle English and Modern Scots
