Title: Please explain this idiosyncratic phrase to me
Post by: Valrus on 15 Jan 2008, 13:40
"Hey, [user name]."

It seems innocuous enough but clearly conceals a wealth of connotations, which seem mildly pejorative but otherwise completely elude me. Also I recently witnessed ruyi using it to address a thread, rather than a specific user, which just further confused me. So what's the deal?

It is when the poster suffers a stroke after writing the salutation of their message.
