How well do you know your texting slang?
In Twitch chat, viewers most often spam F when a stream has accidentally disconnected. This practice began in 2014, after the game Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare included a funeral scene that prompted players to press F to pay their respects to a dead NPC.
Now, online forum and Twitch users often spam F to "pay their respects" to actual deceased people as well as those who have "died" of embarrassment. On Twitch specifically, users also spam F when a streamer's stream accidentally goes dead, in order to pay respect to the "fallen" streamer.
