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

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.

― 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)

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)

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

― 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!"
