I've been seeing the term "psot" popping up all over WP lately. Sometimes it's written normally, sometimes in all-uppercase. My question is: what does "psot" mean? Is it simply a typo when trying to type "post", is it an acronym of some sorts, or is it a term that means something? An answer will be appreciated.

I am baffled myself. Unknown, the great 'psotter', claims it is the complete opposite of post, which I took to mean (wrongly in Unknown's opinion, but probably right in all others) that it is a low-quality, high-volume post that is not spam, but merely something that's supposed to look cool, and actually looks tepid.

I pay no attention to this whole psot rubbish. It has no meaning to me, and I don't understand what function it fulfils.

Psot is nonsense spam. Unknown's psot isn't real psot. It's less inappropriate. But it still isn't good.

That still doesn't tell us what it is or what it means.
