Please explain this idiosyncratic phrase to me
« 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.

There's this really handy "other thing" I'm going to write as a footnote to my abstract that I can probably explore these issues in. I think I'll call it my "dissertation."

..so long as the word "cookie" is in your country's vocabulary, it's an okay place to be.

Those who forget the past may be doomed to repeat it, but those who refuse to learn from the past and move on are fucking idiots.

          I hope we can still be friends.
