Not those guys, but they've been saying pseud/o as an insult here for years. It's nothing new for /lit/, although the other boards clearly still dwell on gems like "cuck" and "faggot."

np. Though a fan of post-modern lit should likely know who DFW is. He is extremely popular outside of /lit/, especially in colleges. Much like "G R R M" would be understood.
