Through a convoluted quasi conversation online I have happened upon a phrase. Well, it’s not so much a phrase as a word. Also the word and phrase are two very different interpretations of the same thing. It went something like this:

<begin paraphrase>
them – what’s up
me – uh hey
them – ur on my team want to do something ?
me – uh I need to go soon, sorry.
them – <broken words> oh ruinz <more broken words> (emphasis added by me)
<end paraphrase>

Right. So I’m not positive what went on, but I’m pretty sure ruinz is the equivalent of crap/shit/oh noes/constipation. I’m being liberal on that last one. It also sounded a bit familiar, like some slang I may have seen on The Internets. TimeSyphon is officially adopting it. From this day (Well, that day, really) forward, we has a word. I mean, phrase.

Ruins (roo-enz)
-expression
Used to indicate disappointment, resignation, or a loose grasp of the English language. Frequently, and most appropriately, expressed as “Oh, ruins.”
Usage (kindly provided by GunsTanksCannon in a serious email within 24 hours of learning the phrase)
“Not only is my intarwebs not working right but my car caught on fire this morning and I’m working on getting an alternative mode of transportation until I can get around to looking at it. Oh ruins.”
