I just called my boyfriend and almost said "This is the thread where I ask if you need anything from the store."

This place is getting to me.

Well, did he?

― mark p (Mark P), Monday, 27 January 2003 18:47 (twenty-three years ago)

LOL...I asked a guy in my band the other day "Classic or Dud?".

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 27 January 2003 18:53 (twenty-three years ago)

I got his voicemail...he has been impressed with my near-constant use of 'cockfarmer' lately, though. I'm so Zelig, I have no personality of my own...

― teeny (teeny), Monday, 27 January 2003 18:56 (twenty-three years ago)

HA, teeny. I often think about ILE when talking with other people and then remember that they won't have any clue what/who I'm talking about.

'Do not answer if you hate' would have clinched it.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Monday, 27 January 2003 19:14 (twenty-three years ago)

"Classic or Dud?", "Taking sides: _____ vs _____" and "best _____ EVER" have become part of my spoken vocabulary.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 27 January 2003 19:24 (twenty-three years ago)

Thanks to Dan Perry, my mind may actually be dirtier these days than pre-ILE. It's a whole new approach to life.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 27 January 2003 19:26 (twenty-three years ago)

yeah, everything takes on this slightly filthy edge.

― jel -- (jel), Monday, 27 January 2003 19:39 (twenty-three years ago)

i noticed something was wrong when i started saying 'suXoRs' and 'roXoRs' in normal conversation

― geeta (geeta), Monday, 27 January 2003 21:10 (twenty-three years ago)

Slut Em Go's new CD is going to be called "...Ever!"

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Monday, 27 January 2003 21:18 (twenty-three years ago)

There's an old thread called something like Oh No! ILE = IRL! Oh No! about this.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Monday, 27 January 2003 21:58 (twenty-three years ago)

"Urgent and key" is a regular visitor to my conversations.

On holiday last year I referred to the Egyptian themed hotel, in all seiousness, as the Hotel Suxor.

― Mark C (Mark C), Monday, 27 January 2003 22:29 (twenty-three years ago)

Perversely lovely.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 27 January 2003 22:46 (twenty-three years ago)

did you say afterwards, "Do not listen if you hate me?"

― di smith (lucylurex), Monday, 27 January 2003 23:26 (twenty-three years ago)

Suxor and r0x0r aren't strictly ILE tho, are they? I've been saying those *long* before I ever found out about this place. It's normal net-talk.

― Daniel_Rf (Daniel_Rf), Monday, 27 January 2003 23:47 (twenty-three years ago)

It depends on where you heard them.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 28 January 2003 00:31 (twenty-three years ago)

Urgent and key, FITE, Grebt, -XoR, Classic or Dud, Rub, K-Rub, and of course cockfarmer are all words/phrases I use a great deal.

― Tom (Groke), Tuesday, 28 January 2003 00:36 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh my catchphrase is "best thing ever" - it's starting to get on my mates' tits. Don't know if it's anything to do with ILx, nor Simpsons for that matter.

― dog latin (dog latin), Tuesday, 28 January 2003 00:41 (twenty-three years ago)

it'd be more ilx if you said "best thread evah!"

― di smith (lucylurex), Tuesday, 28 January 2003 00:42 (twenty-three years ago)

So it would be ilxier?

― Chris P (Chris P), Tuesday, 28 January 2003 02:25 (twenty-three years ago)

best thing EVAH!!! has made it into my everyday language...

― kate, Tuesday, 28 January 2003 02:27 (twenty-three years ago)

I catch myself trying to use 'obv' in speech

― Millar (Millar), Tuesday, 28 January 2003 02:32 (twenty-three years ago)

i been using that in speech since the late 70s (true!)

― forbidden or obsolete (24 hour troubleshooter), Tuesday, 28 January 2003 02:35 (twenty-three years ago)

Actually, I forgot I was talking to my girlfriend on AIM while reading ILX just now. When I realized she'd signed off and when I called her to apologize I said "I'm sorry I missed your thread..."

gah. That and discovering I'm in ILM's top 10 make me glad Thursday (my no internet day) is coming fast.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Tuesday, 28 January 2003 03:24 (twenty-three years ago)

"so do I change lanes here?... come on, changing lanes: classic or dud?"

Which lead to a long conversation about what we were talking about and missing the turnoff.

― isadora (isadora), Tuesday, 28 January 2003 05:19 (twenty-three years ago)

...which led to a long conversation and then led to missing the turnoff, or which led to a long conversation which included in its topics missing the turnoff?

I suppose you _could_ have done both.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 28 January 2003 11:05 (twenty-three years ago)

I've been saying "do you see???" and "tart!" with annoying regularity over the past few days.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 28 January 2003 11:57 (twenty-three years ago)

There are frantic wavy hand gestures combined with a dramatic pause to indicate the number of question marks in the former, obv.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 28 January 2003 11:58 (twenty-three years ago)

Matt, my sis larfed for about an hour at my "typing" gestures I make when I recount and internet related tale. I hadn't even noticed it, it's so sad!

― smee (smee), Tuesday, 28 January 2003 12:01 (twenty-three years ago)

'Classic or Dud?' + 'DO YOU SEE?' have both come close to being said out loud - but the one I really keep having to fight off is referring to annoying ppl as 'FuXors'....
