Was SteveM the creator of "Teh?"

The last two came from talk on alt.music.alternative and may have older roots at that.

I invented the hip hip hooray magical birthing day thing, and the "hello we're X, and we'd just like to wish..." Bass player or drummer "yeah! have a great day!" thing.

Oh and I invented the wheel.

Did someone on ILM start using as in "teh hotness" - or is that generic haxor?

See the wiki article linked above, I believe its roots were in "teh win", gamer/hax0r speak in the mid/late 90s.

I first heard "cockfarmer" from The Ewing Posse (either Tom or Ptee).

Also, the 'do not read if you hate us' meme, in numerous variants since, was created by the lovely Rainy with this thread title:

Excelsior in the LOL thread context isn't Ned's doing, it was Stevem on this thread.

Also Trife of all people was the creator of the "This is the thread where..." meme, IIRC.

The "X in Y shocker" is a standard device used by tabloid newspapers that dates back at least 20 years, so I don't think any of us can claim that.

― Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 17 February 2005 18:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Someone can claim using it here though. It's not something most people say in regular conversation.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 17 February 2005 18:31 (twenty-one years ago)

I think I started the POX thing (as it looked prettier than PO10), or maybe I started the POO thing (as it looked better than OPO, and it's funny - poo, ha!) I also think I suggested the domain name (via mark s. & Pashimina & other haXor speakers), so hey.

And the first one to say "HI DERE"- who was that man?

― peepee (peepee), Thursday, 17 February 2005 19:34 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm fairly certain POX *was* started by Geir, in fact I think this

The Beatles OP10 (or, that would be, only pick ten)

was the first. Only, following on from OPO, he used OP10. so Dave might have changed it to POX, which works much nicer anyway.

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Thursday, 17 February 2005 19:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Nick, I think the fact that we're the only ones who remember that goes to show that maybe it's an IL(ni)X meme. The proverbial egg in the briefcase, if you will.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 17 February 2005 19:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Dave might have changed it to POX
It looks like OP10 lasted about two days and then somebody changed it to POX, which again looks like it was Geir
POX - Blur

but OleM
POX - Madness

may have beaten him by 40 minutes and 66 posts. In any case, it came from Norway.

― Ken L (Ken L), Thursday, 17 February 2005 20:00 (twenty-one years ago)

I started "come anticipate [x] with me", as well as the whole ILX culture of anticipation, if I'm being honest.

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Thursday, 17 February 2005 20:04 (twenty-one years ago)

My own claim: the way I remember it, I was the person who asked for "Turn Back You Poxy Fule" to become a genuine error message. I think it was Dan Perry who created the phrase.

There was, I'm told, a Victorian Scottish explorer called Joseph Thomson who made it his habit to shout "EXCELSIOR!" as he jumped out of bed every morning. My ex-bf was at one time working, in his spare time, on getting an out-of-copyright biography of him reprinted.

Also, Gomer Pyle's dad gave him a refridgerator emblem that said EXCELSIOR -as a good luck charm to give Gomer confidence in leading the troops. "Troops, prepare to mount. Mount."

The honour goes to Ned:

Phrases that should never be used to describe your band unless you're honestly attempting to commit career suicide

Wasn't "waterfalls of pussy" supposed to be whispered to someone's ear?

I'm kinda sad "breath of vulva" didn't really catch on.

I found out recently that Curt1s was responsible for "I obtain much hard one". hahahaha. And now he is going to kill me for outing him eeps *flees ILX*

i was in sunset park at a bar watching a yankees game when i stepped outside for a smoke, an african-american woman and her son walked by and i heard her go "chillax? i like that one, i'm gonna use it". the son laughed and said "no, i don't think so".

it really surprised me as i always thought chillax was an ILX meme. i guess not?
