An near-overused catchphrase made by Sage when he posted in the "what do you find annoying" thread as a direct reply to the question. He repeated it several times, and it caught on. "Threads like this" was said (including when people quoted it) 25 times in that thread.
It became a meme shortly after, basically meaning "This thread is useless/stupid/ low quality".
Often used as a standalone post.
More recently has been shortened to "TLT" (the "T L T" spelling also has been spotted on the forums, along with variations), and can now be considered a verb. ("You got TLT'd, haha!")
A few members also noted that "TLT" looks somewhat like an emoticon for a face that surprisingly fits the theme of TLT very well.
