    "Deserves its own thread" as a phrase did. IDIOT was coined on July 2nd, 2017, when the full phrase had matured or ripened (festered?) enough as a meme for a new silly ancronym to "blow @DreamShook's mind" the moment he saw it.

    Takes a lot of build up for something as stupid as IDIOT to achieve instant success.

    OK, now I'm embarrassed about my memory of how CFnet memes get started. Takes a lo of stupid IDIOTing around here to catch the birth of all the memes. :(:oops:o_O

    oops, I just verb-alized IDIOT.

    I love IDIOTs. As ironic as it sounds, I think it deserves its own thread to talk about how CF memes start. I'm serious. ;)

    I'd guess that it's the same guy who posted this poster on the wall.

    Those aren't close at all.

    The first big flurry was 2010, when we were trying to get him in trade from Denver.

    Just curious, has I.D.I.O.T. caught on in reddit/4 chan yet?

    Notice I say yet, seeing as how it's inevitable.


    According to abbreviations.com, IDIOT stands for 'Integrated Digital Input/Output Transmitter.'

    It Deserves Its Own Thread is not even on the list. Sad.
