Mysterious!notation?

[dvandom]

Okay, I keep seeing the "modifier!thing" construction in LJ posts. Since it's not part of any formal logical language I remember from Logic class in college, I'm guessing it's from a coding language. I asked razorsmile about it, but he didn't know either, just picked it up as a meme.

Can someone satisfy my curiosity on this?

The "modifier!thing" usage you mentioned may have originated in fanfiction.
