Archaism
| All fun out of the pool for oldfag swim! "I CAN HAZ CHEEZBURGER?"

In Soyspeak, an archaism is an outdated or obsolete word that was once the dominant term, but has since fallen completely out of use in favor of a newer term. Due to variants in the language of both /qa/ and /soy/, some terms may have multiple archaisms, and other archaisms may be preserved in the etymologies of other terms.
People who use archaisms are either oldtroons trying to brag about being an oldtroon, or more likely a newGOD with oldfag dysphoria attempting to LARP as an oldtroon after reading this very wiki. This advice also applies to all internet terminology outside of 'jakspeak.
Examples[edit | edit source]
Soyak -> Soyjak (Still sees limited use for Booru naming.)
Eat The Bugs Soyjak/ETBjak -> Feraljak[1]
Trannyjak -> Troonjak (I say this THOUGH) (Even doe "troonjak" refers specifically to the Bernd one and "trannyjak" to the crazed soyak version)
Poggers Soyjak -> Deformed Soyjak[2] (Preserved in etymology of
Grinlook Poggers)
Happy Soyjak -> Wholesome Soyjak[3]
Yurijak -> Kuzjak
Onions -> soy (emulating the 4cuck wordfilter)
Soyjak -> basedjak (ditto)
Examples Outside of Jakspeak[edit | edit source]
Desu -> SUDE
Kek -> GEG/gloink

An hero -> -ACK!

Thou -> (You)
