600.0. "Please invent a word for me." by AITG::DERAMO (Daniel V. {AITG,ZFC}:: D'Eramo) Tue Dec 20 1988 02:23

     Hi.  Can someone put together a good word for a noter who
     goes around various notes conferences entering topics and
     replies solely because their topic numbers or reply numbers
     are multiples of one hundred?
     
     Thanks.

     By the way, the title
     
               Please invent a word for me.
     
     meant to invent a word at my request as described in .0, not
     to invent a word that describes me.

    I rather like "centaur."
    
    Then if, in his attempt to enter the 500th reply, he found
    someone else's note entered ahead of him, leaving him as .501,
    we could say he was slightly off centaur.

re:  DECadent.  Doesn't that suggest relative toothlessness?

I'm a repentant hecto-compulsive.  Or, more accurately, pentehecto-compulsive.
A few kiloreplies ago in note 396, I "got" replies 500, 1000 and maybe 1500 or
2000 (I forget) - once only because I happened upon it, but once or twice
because I was waiting to get something in at the desired reply number.

I'm sorry.

    Recently the verb "to snarf" has been commonly used
    to describe this practice.

    Re: .-1
    
    "Snarf" has been around MIT for 30 years that I know of. It means to
    acquire on sight.  As applied to food, it has overtones of the German
    fressen when used to describe the eating habits of humans.
600.39JIT081::DIAMONDIt's been a lovely recession.Mon Nov 02 1992 01:592
    Yeah, but it doesn't refer to eating any more.  It's been
    snarfed by noters.
600.40MAST::FITZPATRICKMe upon my pony on my boat.Mon Nov 16 1992 16:115
    Actually, when I was at MIT (not too long ago), "snarf" meant "to pass
    a not-yet-swallowed portion of food or drink back through one's nose."

600.42SMURF::BINDERUltimus MohicanorumMon Nov 23 1992 11:214
    "To pass back" implies in the return direction, methinks.  The rules
    under which my son plays role-playing games provide for 20,000
    experience points to anyone who can induce anyone else to do this with
    a soft drink.
