Usage notes edit

As for the third sense, it is more commonly used in everyday conversations (spoken in a sarcastic tone, obviously), and not on the internet, due to people possibly not understanding in what expression you're saying "ne seri" in, as it's connotation has been mostly twisted to the second sense. More commonly, on the internet, people say "nemoj zajebavati", or add any other sarcastic prefix (such as "ma").
