Was SteveM the creator of "Teh?"

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Thursday, 17 February 2005 17:27 (twenty years ago)

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

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 17 February 2005 17:27 (twenty years ago)

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?

― dave225 (Dave225), Thursday, 17 February 2005 17:31 (twenty years ago)

n-n-n-no, jel - you discovered it :)

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

Ned is responsible for "Excelsior!" by way of Stan Lee.

fucktard and asshattery are from elsewhere.

i think i used 'excelsior' on my friendster testimonial to him without knowing this. i can't remember if the inaugural lol thread had excelsior in the title but if so i must've been channeling Raggett subconsciously

― Alienus Quam Reproba (blueski), Thursday, 17 February 2005 17:42 (twenty years ago)

who is responsible for cockfarmer again?

― Alienus Quam Reproba (blueski), Thursday, 17 February 2005 17:44 (twenty years ago)

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow got it from Sojourner Truth.

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

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 17 February 2005 17:44 (twenty years ago)

That Wikipedia article is a spoiler. What about "grebt"? That was not mentioned there? Is that ILX only?

I suppose I did introduce 'Excelsior!' somehow. Yay! :-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 17 February 2005 17:48 (twenty years ago)

I am very depressed because I think my grand contribution to the ILX lexicon is the word "bootyflakes" and it wasn't even my word.

You know that thing where somebody posts something and it just hangs there in lonely, silent space until the thread withers and dies? I originated that.

― briania (briania), Thursday, 17 February 2005 17:52 (twenty years ago)

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

we now live on High Street (do not read if you hate us)

i started the entire "defend the indefensible" thing!

'Don't try it' = Ronan via Marcello (still perhaps the funniest post i ever read, can't remember the thread tho)

― Alienus Quam Reproba (blueski), Thursday, 17 February 2005 17:57 (twenty years ago)

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.

Tad rocks for Defend The Indefensible. That's one of my favourites. Unlike 'Fuck Washing A Hat' and 'OMGWTFROFFLE' which make me want to drown kittens.

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 years ago)

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

'pwn' and other 'deliberate typos' don't really count either i suppose

― Alienus Quam Reproba (blueski), Thursday, 17 February 2005 18:11 (twenty years ago)

what about "[someone] be [somethin']!" eg "Old people be humpin!"

― dave225 (Dave225), Thursday, 17 February 2005 18:13 (twenty years ago)

I think Ally was the first person to use "get one life', it's something I associate with her anyway.

― Anna (Anna), Thursday, 17 February 2005 18:14 (twenty years ago)

i figured that was noise dude axis

― Alienus Quam Reproba (blueski), Thursday, 17 February 2005 18:15 (twenty years ago)

it was actually (the original) THE AMAZING RANDY.

Wasn't it Sinbad who popularized it?

― Trayce, Thursday, 12 April 2007 10:49 (eighteen years ago)

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?

sanskrit, i think i heard people say that out loud before written somewhere on the internet. it's definitely spread into the 'real world' and there's no way it originated here.

Who was is who said, "If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be wrong"?

that's a very old and common american phrase, tuomas.

neither tumoas nor i would've deserved that, rather.

That was aimed (but not fired) at Tuomas, if that wasn't clear enough.

i'm pretty much responsible for "jol out" on the football threads. this isn't much.

― darraghmac, Wednesday, 7 November 2007 10:57 (seventeen years ago)

Probably stands as the most effort anyone has gone to to establish a meme

― DJ Mencap, Wednesday, 7 November 2007 13:08 (seventeen years ago)

it wasn't an attempt to establish a meme, be fair. it was on the off chance that daniel levy was using ilx as a gauge for fan opinion.

I think hen fap got ridiculous amounts of toil and hype for something that hardly even got noticed or used.

I never even found out what it was supposed to mean.

1. hen fap
24 up, 9 down
Hen Fap is:
1) what kanye says in golddigger
2) easy on the tongue
3) whatever is necessary; i.e. shmoolike
4) a nonsequitur with longer legs than I thought.
5) a reference to a random onion article birthed over at the late aja/dante
6) apparently an excellent way to really make people upset which is very odd as Hen Fap is most decidedly:
7) pure, unadorned love

As far as I know, last year, I created the term "pop forward" (a la Tim Gunn/fashion forward). Some asshole used it in the Voice last month.

― Tape Store, Wednesday, 7 November 2007 23:48 (seventeen years ago)

Mantaray, Siouxsie's blazing solo debut, earns those accolades with no trace of fatigue, padding, or confusion, as on-it and of-the-moment as Justin Timberlake. Working with producers Steve Evans and Charlie Jones, it preserves her classic black-and-white sonic barrage—what her Banshees work always mounted, whatever the style—this time accomplished with pop-forward guitars, a term coined by I Love Music poster "Tape Store", occasional horns and strings, and extraordinarily subtle electronicism.

― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 7 November 2007 23:50 (seventeen years ago)

idk what you're bitching about, dude.

― Tape Store, Wednesday, 7 November 2007 23:57 (seventeen years ago)

it was a joke. you see what i did there by editing the passage with the phrase "forward-pop"... jjoooke.
