262

What does 262 mean online?

Old

262 is an Internet slang term that describes someone or something old. It is an obscure term that people used more commonly in the 1990s when Internet chatrooms gained popularity, and has since decreased in usage.

The origins of the term are unclear. However, some sources claim that 262 derives from the number of bones in a dinosaur's body (although some had many more than 262), which humorously implies being ancient. Friends typically use it with each other since it is more of an inside joke than a widely recognized term.
