Well I don't wanna spread only negativity asking people avout what they dislike. What words do you find funny.

Personally I like zesty, edging and the 'are they stupid?'

SK what internet lingo do you like?

In this context, it means praiseworthy. If a person describes something as based, they are commending that thing; however, it is also commonly used in an ironic way. People will praise something that shouldn't be praised in situations where it would be humorous.
