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 (nineteen years ago) link

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.

Can ILG be I Love Gingerbread?

― weather1ngda1eson (Brian), Sunday, 25 July 2004 05:30 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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

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

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

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Sunday, 25 July 2004 13:59 (nineteen years ago) link

Etymology of "grebt"?

first actual appearance of grebt:

Sex toys

(yes, i'm avoiding work again.)

― m. (mitchlnw), Sunday, 25 July 2004 14:46 (nineteen years ago) link

And what does ILX mean?

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

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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!"
