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!!!

I think it refers to the fact that Curtis broke up with his girlfriend then and hasn't had sex since then.

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..

yes, voyeur is right. It has to do with when Curtis last had sex.

Okay, now that there are 3 of us who are clueless about 'props' will anyone clue us in?

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"!!

Short for propers, as in getting proper credit for or proper recognition.

Can someone direct me to the Oct. 99 reference in the live feeds? I can't find it.

Thanks.

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.

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.

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

W/C is water closet or bathroom. Right?

PS - I think we should retitle this thread:

Everything you ever wanted to know about the BB Boards, but were afraid to ask!

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.
