Stouff | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 07:56 pm  At least three times today I have heard HG's, I think mostly Josh, say "that is so Oct.99." I assume from the context it means something like weird. Does It? Where does it come from? Please be gentle in your answer..I am old so am no where near up to date on today's terms. Eg I just learned phat and props from the HG's or this board, too! and I remember how incensed one poster was because someone dared to ask what props meant!!! |
Voyeur | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 08:04 pm  I think it refers to the fact that Curtis broke up with his girlfriend then and hasn't had sex since then. |
Deeya | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 08:14 pm  Stouff...how dare you come to these boards to ask a question about a reference you don't know... !!! Just kidding... I saw the poster get bashed before too.. and thought I must be another idiot for not knowing what props was.. |
Wahoowa | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 08:27 pm  yes, voyeur is right. It has to do with when Curtis last had sex. |
Columbus | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 08:33 pm  What does 'props' mean?? |
Elisa | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 09:09 pm  LOL Thank you Columbus. I didn't want to get bashed for asking. |
Wahoowa | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 09:11 pm  Okay, now that there are 3 of us who are clueless about 'props' will anyone clue us in? |
Judy | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 09:12 pm  it is short for "proper credit" I think. Instead of saying - I just gotta thank so -and -so for helping me win this award. Now you just say "Props to so-and-so"!! |
Katnphx | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 09:14 pm  Short for propers, as in getting proper credit for or proper recognition. |
Elisa | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 09:37 pm  Thanks! |
Abitafan | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 09:41 pm  Now I need t know what "phat" means! |
Jacque | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 09:42 pm  Thanks to all of you and the education I am receiving today... WOW!!! I learned what Rosh Hashana was and what it was all about... and I learned what "props" means. Been an educational day... |
Room_101 | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 11:14 pm  sigh.. phat means "P retty H ot A nd T empting" like ... "uhhh dude, dat girrl be phat!".. heh heh these terms are gettin old though... |
Abitafan | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 11:17 pm  Thanks, Room! It's obvious that I'm getting old too! |
Fifi | Sunday, September 24, 2000 - 11:38 pm  Can someone direct me to the Oct. 99 reference in the live feeds? I can't find it. Thanks. |
Stouff | Monday, September 25, 2000 - 09:42 am  Fifi, I was watching the live feeds myself every time I heard it so I don't know if it ever got recorded in the transcripts. I do remember that it was Josh saying it to Curtis...something like "that is so Oct 99" or "another Oct 99" or something like that. I can't remember the exact references. Thanks to Voyeur and Wahoowa for the meaning! Room, thanks for the definition of phat. It helps to understand where these things come from.I figured out that it meant something good but I was really curious about the spelling. |
Stouff | Monday, September 25, 2000 - 09:43 am  P.S. Fifi I posted the note right after I heard it so, if it is in the transcripts, it would be right about that time. |
Casper | Monday, September 25, 2000 - 09:53 am  Hey what does W/C stand for? Really! I've asked around at work. We know what the LR is. The GBR,the BBR, the DR. But.... Eddie goes into the W/C??? Eddie now out of the W/C??? In goes george...now george out the W/C. What the heck is that. No laughing! |
Judy | Monday, September 25, 2000 - 09:55 am  Water Closet I think it is European in origin and used the way we would use toilet. Curtis went into toilet = Curtis went into w/c |
Drcatt | Monday, September 25, 2000 - 09:56 am  W/C is water closet or bathroom. Right? |
Kahlua | Monday, September 25, 2000 - 09:56 am  Hey Casper - W/C is bathroom! |
Judy | Monday, September 25, 2000 - 09:56 am  PS - I think we should retitle this thread: Everything you ever wanted to know about the BB Boards, but were afraid to ask! |
Stouff | Monday, September 25, 2000 - 09:58 am  I saw another thread about this elsewhere on the board and I knew the answer because many, many years ago I visited Europe. In parts of Europe the toilet/washroom was called a water closet...then this was shortened in many places, especially in France, to WC. |
Poco | Monday, September 25, 2000 - 10:04 am  While we are at it, what is RFLO........ You know which one I am talking about? I can't even spell. |
Judy | Monday, September 25, 2000 - 10:07 am  I feel like the AOL lady ;) ROFL=Rolling on the floor laughing ROFLMAO=Rolling on the floor laughing my ass off |
