He had to be. It was actually 1981. :)

It's a reference to the place where most of the original users of the board met on Usenet. It means that someone is reporting news that is so old that everyone knows about it by now.

Its use in the subject line here was out of context and I don't think it was a "Whoosh!" (over your head) moment. Had it been used in context you would have been able to use context clues to schuss out the meaning.

C'mon, guys, not everyone knows the origins of the game show newspeak. If someone would like to write a primer, I'm sure it would make a welcome addition to our reference library.

Whoever compiled that list is a true asset to the board. ;-)

I'm afraid you and Strikerz both get the whoosh in this case. LastResort knows all about that. He was joking about the title of this thread, saying Woolery should have gotten his new radio show back in 1982.

Have we ever had someone show up, be on the receiving end of a GSF shorthand, and then get all uppity and irritated because he had not one clue why he was being mocked?

Post by: inturnaround on January 22, 2009, 11:40:56 PM: Fair enough. I think it was a bit of my sense of fair play felt like it was being stepped on. Good to know it was just a false alarm. :)

Sorry, all.

I have been laughing hysterically for minutes. "What does WHOOSH! mean?" should be the Line Of The Decade. Almost a pity he was banned, but, really, it isn't.

I think I've done my job, then.

Personally, I got a bigger laugh out of what I considered to be the biggest ironic thing. Or maybe not. But still. (http://\"http://gameshow.ipbhost.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=3808&view=findpost&p=37256\") (read the top one.)

Actually, Chuck's final WOF broadcast was December 25, 1981!
