Okay, can anyone explain this one? I’ve been running into comments saying (usually in all caps) “You ate!” Whaaaat? Anyone know what this means???

I guess it means "nailed it". Like nailing smn with pneumatic nailer is also not a good thing but in the context it is used like an affirmative word. Almost like sharks clapping each other for eating that seal. From google:
“She ate", “he ate”, or “they ate” is a slang phrase used to express admiration and praise for someone who has done a great job at something.

What does Ate mean?​

She/he/they ate is a slang term often used in the context of fashion, music, or performance, but can be used in a variety of other contexts as well. The phrase "she ate" means doing it with style. When someone “eats” it means they’ve done something impressively.

Oh. you mean, "finally going to finish that job?" So what's wrong with simply spelling out or saying "finally"???

No, that's not what I said. It comes from "fixing to". "Finally" means something different. Like you had to wait a long time. The Fi is not pronounced like Finally. It's like shark fin. Finna.
 
"like"

Every time I hear someone pepper about 5 "likes" per sentence I want to slap them. I want to show them the clip from Finding Nemo with the seagulls who constantly say, "Mine!" and tell them to replace "mine" with "like" and then hopelessly try to get them to understand that's exactly how they sound.
 
Ok, the Australian Word of the Year, according to the Macquarie Dictionary, is "******tification".

Basically it means that the world is going to hell in a hand basket, which we all know, and really don't need another word for it.

I have never seen or heard this word, until the announcement in my news stream.
I hate it already. I hope to never see or hear it again.
OK thanks for this enlightening news. :confused: /s

That's just excremental. 😆
