The correct way of using ''greentext''.

A guide on how to use ''greentext''.

 

What is it and what does it stand for?

Greentext is a form of quoting that's mainly used on 4chan-like imageboards, it can be used to quote someone, tell stories, express certain emotions and many other things. Here are a few examples:

A greentext story.

 

A quote.

 

You've probably noticed the use of the ''>'', this is the quote-mark.

 

What's the problem with it?

Lately, greentexting has been appearing more outside of the 4chan-like imageboards and it's often used in an improper and incorrect way. This is simply because most people do not know what the ''>'' means. This often results in unfunny greentexts and could make the user look like he/she is trying to be funny by using things he/she does not even know what it's meaning.

Greentexting ''that feel''.

The correct way of using ''that feel'':

That feel when you're taking a shit on a toilet and some shitwater comes back up.
