The only thing I don't get is "grebt," I guess.

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Saturday, 24 July 2004 20:24 (twenty-one years ago)

IIRC There's an interesting story behind that...

― Masked Gazza, Saturday, 24 July 2004 20:27 (twenty-one years ago)

oh it's not that grebt.

― teeny (teeny), Saturday, 24 July 2004 21:29 (twenty-one years ago)

That always confused me too. I wasn't sure what it meant, at first I thought it was a perversion of "grabbed" or "crept", i.e. "I grebt her arse" or "Roxymuzak grebt in through the window" or "Ned grebt up behind me and grebt my arse" and so on.

C-Man = example of cool, witty, funny ILXor. Most postees post on C-Man threads because they are invariably the most interesting.

Ned = example of uncool, unwitty, unfunny, ILXor. Ned has probably not had as much impact on ILX as C-Man.

"Ned grebt up behind me and grebt my arse"

CAD.

― AaronHz (AaronHz), Saturday, 24 July 2004 21:42 (twenty-one years ago)

grebt = sick perversion of great, you god damn freaks.

― stephen morris (stephen morris), Saturday, 24 July 2004 21:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes, but why and what's the origin?

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Saturday, 24 July 2004 23:09 (twenty-one years ago)

I mean, ok. I'm gonna start spelling people "popple" instead. Maybe that will catch on. WTF?

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Saturday, 24 July 2004 23:10 (twenty-one years ago)

SOME THINGS JUST ARE, OKAY?!?!?!

I'm sorry, I don't know why I did that.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 24 July 2004 23:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Hold the phone. That's actually an excellent idea.

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Saturday, 24 July 2004 23:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Shouting loudly?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 24 July 2004 23:12 (twenty-one years ago)

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Saturday, 24 July 2004 23:13 (twenty-one years ago)

You don't know how to spell, you Kentucky freak.

YOU FUX0R POPPLES IZ TEH KRAZY, BUT GREBT.

― AaronHz (AaronHz), Saturday, 24 July 2004 23:15 (twenty-one years ago)

haha I used to think she was English

― AaronHz (AaronHz), Saturday, 24 July 2004 23:15 (twenty-one years ago)

grebt is not quite as unbridled an enthusiastic response as grate.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Saturday, 24 July 2004 23:15 (twenty-one years ago)

haha I used to think she was English

SHE ONLY WISHES. The skank. (That is short for 'ska-crunk.')

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 24 July 2004 23:17 (twenty-one years ago)

fwiw?

― jed_ (jed), Saturday, 24 July 2004 23:17 (twenty-one years ago)

For what it's worth. Hum Buffalo Springfield to yourself whenever you see it.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 24 July 2004 23:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Neddy is a bit bellicose tonight, methinks.

― AaronHz (AaronHz), Saturday, 24 July 2004 23:19 (twenty-one years ago)

you grebt popples make me roffle sometimes

And what does ILX mean?
I know it's I Love X, but you know, what does it all mean, what does it signify?

― Bumfluff, Saturday, 24 July 2004 23:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Sorta double reference -- 'roxor' and similar hacker speak influenced the name of the board, but 'x' also acts as something of a general value signifier in math (and maybe logic as well?). Since there were two chief boards by the time a unique server was setup, the idea was that this encompassed both of them and all the other ones as well.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 24 July 2004 23:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Can ILG be I Love Gingerbread?

― weather1ngda1eson (Brian), Sunday, 25 July 2004 05:30 (twenty-one years ago)

roxy i believe the story behind "grebt" involves someone getting a txt message from a friend that described some sex act as "grebt" (typo).

― Ask For Samantha (thatgirl), Sunday, 25 July 2004 06:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Grebt = Filking
(that ought to put a stop to it)

― Rock Hardy (Rock Hardy), Sunday, 25 July 2004 12:44 (twenty-one years ago)

i've never liked grebt. 'rub' has finally won me over tho.

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Sunday, 25 July 2004 13:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Remember when "bingo!" still was just another innocent expression?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Sunday, 25 July 2004 13:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Etymology of "grebt"?

first actual appearance of grebt:

Sex toys

(yes, i'm avoiding work again.)

― m. (mitchlnw), Sunday, 25 July 2004 14:46 (twenty-one years ago)

And what does ILX mean?

It means that we love Christ. Every single last one of us.

― Pleasant Plains (Pleasant Plains), Sunday, 25 July 2004 16:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Chris was the original corny indie FuxXor

― CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Sunday, 25 July 2004 16:53 (twenty-one years ago)

You get used to it. ONE OF US ONE OF US etc.

And when that happens, you have been Neducated.

― j.lu (j.lu), Sunday, 25 July 2004 17:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Maybe I'm being too literal but Jesus, Pontius Pilate, etc. is New Testament, not Old Testament.

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Sunday, 25 July 2004 17:37 (twenty-one years ago)

does Pontius Pilate mean "builder of bridges"? Someone once told me that it did.

― MarkH (MarkH), Sunday, 25 July 2004 17:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Christ was all "I will suffer for you, it is my burden" and Pontius was like "HAHA SHOOT FIRE OUT OF YOUR ASS YOU EMO BABY!"
