Not to make fun of GAIA or it's items, but an ORLY? Hat? What does ORLY? mean anyway?

Also, kOnFuZeD PiNk PaNtS? Why can't they just say Confused Pink Pants? It just makes no sense.

If you see an item on GAIA that has bad grammar like the two above, please post it here.

Again, I am not mocking GAIA or it's items and I am sorry if it offends any Gaians.

I've seen quite a few descriptions like this. I always saw it like they were making fun of it, but always found it completely unnecessary and not very funny at all. But then again, most of the descriptions on the items are supposed to be funny, yet they all fail miserably D:

The ORLY hat is based on a rather well-known video.

Erm. The ORLY owl is older than that I think. Wiki article on O RLY?

Basically, ORLY, or O RLY, means Oh, really. You can read more about it on the wiki article.

I dont like the names of Gaia items at all. They always think "Oh, this will be witty if we do this, and people will think we are even cooler". Then there are those Gaians who just dont get it. It annoys me.

There was only ONE item, that I have found, that makes me laugh everytime I look at it.

This is the Honorable Windows. Its more the description that makes me laugh. "Man I love it when in those movies they like lick the tip of their finger just to poke a hole in the screen window so they can spy! Haha! The owner musta been HECKA POed when he saw the hole in his window the next day! LOL"

Even though there are many errors.. I still find it funny.
Correction:
"Man, I love it when in those movies they lick the tip of their finger just to poke a hole through the screen so they can spy! Haha! The owner musta been pissed off when he saw the hole in his window the next day! LOL"
