Who is Binod
The word Binod has taken the internet by storm in the past few days. No longer is it a derogatory term originally used to make fun of a senseless but harmless troll who just repeated his own name everywhere. It has now become uber cool to know and use Binod! I thought I should help define it as many try to make sense of it.
What is Binod
ORIGINAL SIN
The craze about Binod started when a Youtube Channel by the name SlayyPoint brought attention to it via its video on the Garbage in Indian Comments section. A user named Binod Tharu had just a one word comment on all the videos he reviewed, his name — “Binod”. Since Binod loosely means Pleasure, Relaxation or Amusement (derived from the sanskrit word Vinod) this became an instant internet meme with thousands of people using it to have fun.
I still LOL when I think of the bewildered expressions on non-indian faces when they see this comment over and over!! :D
CURRENT DEFINITION
When someone comments with just “Binod” it could mean many unsaid things:
- Ignore me, I am just a cooler version of a troll.
- I love this beyond words.
- I hate this beyond words.
- This has my approval, says a prune.
- This is trash, says a piece of trash.
- I am in love with the internet & memes.
- I love messing with your head.
;)
FUTURE DEFINITION
When the hype dies down I feel Binod will just become synonymous with any kind of irrelevant but harmless trolling. Right now Trolls in the real sense are those who essentially morph into the triple J — Joyful and Judgemental Jerks (JJJ) who just want to say mean things and get a kick out of it.
If you are one such Troll, please don’t be one! Live and let live. Ever heard of that?? Also if you are knowingly harming someone via online bullying do digest this before you continue in your path: “Karma is a bitch, and she knows where to find you.”
Maybe Binod could become the medicine for compulsive Trolling. When you are itching to say mean stuff, maybe you could just say “Binod” to keep yourself in check!!?
Even if you are a self-appointed Positive Anonymous Troll (PAT) and think you are helping others via your words… quit wasting your time and go write that book you always wanted to. Sure way to know if your opinions are worth anything is from how successful your book turns out to be. Have no patience for the book, get into blogging, simple.
If you enjoy posting “BINOD” to stay with it but are not someone doing it anonymously, then enjoy your tiny contribution to spamming while it lasts. :D
Finally, I AM obviously looking forward to my comment section being filled with “Binod” comments of approval, if the storm comes my way (lol).
