What Words/Phrases have you learned since being on the Boards?

104 posts in this topic

The old NOD threads/debates/arguments/pressing cluster*spoon*. I actually referred to them as the NOD wars when talking to someone in a PM the other day. I immediately thought to myself, "Damn, I am a full fledged nerd."

Moral Compass

Seriously? You've never heard that term before the boards?

I never paid attention to the phrase until an old poster directed a rant filled pm my way saying he would never do any business with Bedrock City because my "moral compass" was pointed in the wrong direction.

Prior to that it would go in one ear and out the other.

So yeah, the first time I heard it was here. Apparently I've lost a ton of business because of posting here.

That's what you get for non conformism (tsk)

Those that aren't doing business with you never did business with you in the first place, so I figure you've gained more than you've lost where that's concerned.

Does this count ?... Not really a online thing though ... That "sick" has some how translated into cool/awesome & what not ... See I hear the word sick & I think flue or cold which I can only think bad things of ... I simply can't see sick as being either of those two things :D
