@suzianne saidYou go back a long way Suzie Q, the site didn't start that long before you got here.
That's so far back in the annals of RHP lore that I don't remember who first said it, but it has been around as long as I can remember. It did take off quickly and was copied by many right off the bat, though. It was already RHP history when I got here.
So the word couldn't have been around that long before you arrived.
You would have known most of the posters back then, so if you don't know perhaps someone who started at the very beginning would know. We must have someone who was here from the very beginning.
Of course we do Russ!!! 😉

@they removed their quoted postWhy would you want to guess when you weren't around or were you were you here before Suzie Q?
Why not ask someone who was here from the very beginning, there was more than Russ there was a small group of people here from the very start. I don't want to play along as you put it.
There were people here neither you or I would even know, unless of course you were here at the beginning and if you were then you should already know.

@very-rusty saidI started it in 1863.
It would be nice to know who actually started it rather than start a guessing game.

@very-rusty saidAre you saying sir that I am lying about starting 'Spanky' in 1863?
I can say Liar be correct! 😛 😉

On what basis?

@ghost-of-a-duke saidThe absurdity of that statement doesn't deserve an answer goad.

@very-rusty saidEveryone started using the term around the same time. I'm telling you that the phrase took off like wildfire. Pinpointing the exact inventor of the term is nigh on impossible.

@suzianne saidThe impossible happens from time to time. Perhaps someone who hasn't read this yet and was around will know the Poster who started it. I know by the time I got here in 2006 it was used by a lot of people as you said, and didn't sound like it was meant in a nice way at least to me.

@very-rusty saidAbout the only two people I know who might know are @Phlabibit or @Darvlay

@suzianne saidTwo people I also had in mind but isn't Phlabs from the U.S., and I thought Darvlay had said he was from Canada? I think Darvlay still comes on from time to time doesn't he?
