I was looking through the archives and just came upon this old thread of mine:

http://forums.anandtech.com/me...ab=arc&highlight_key=y

How many of these do you recognize? What associations do you have with each phrase?

[EDIT NOTE] I know these are not all truly AT-specific; I copied and pasted the results from the original thread and did not discriminate between accurate and inaccurate answers.

I think a lot of that stuff is not AT specific. Of the things that are, a good portion of them are just AT member names?

I just copied the contents of the original thread, so I agree. Although I do think that YAGT originated here. And I would venture to say that some of those member names did become memes of their own, to some extent. If I say Fausto to a few IRL friends I originally met here, they go straight to the assless-chaps association.

These ones are basically property of the whole internet.

I would add "maintain a stance of dominance." You can't not include that one.

How is it specific to pac nw members? It was contributed to by a bunch of various posters originally.

Let's not forget:

"My neighbor put glue on my windshield. What should I do?"

Waggy and his redneck neighbors

ANYTHING dealing with zanejohnson and his lies

"I'm going to visit (insert name of place) What is there to do there?"

"I just bought a new (insert gun model). Isn't it sweet?--OMFG! WHY do you need a GUN?!?"-key endless gun debate"

The original DUG777 t-shirt thing had been trying to get off the ground for a while. Crono expanded it to other submissions, so I made a bunch of other ones (along with some other members)

maybe my memory is failing in my old age, but i don't think it was anywhere near as widespread as, say, tpad.
