> [@Gyrate](#): > > I disagree. It’s a useful shorthand to recognise where someone has made a clever joke or reference which may not be immediately obvious to readers. I sometimes use “Nicely done” instead but the convention is still worth keeping. I agree it’s funny. I confess, I saw this in reference to me, and “kinda played” was the least negative way I could describe it. (i.e. excuse to bump) ---

> [@Mangetout](#): > > Not exclusively a Doper thing, but > > “Two Words: [blah blah]” I was just thinking of you when I read upstream post about fried ice cream. Now that’s a shared reference that few people get, and undoubtedly pisses off others. Ball’s in your court, fryman. ---

monster in the garage is a reference to a Shrodinger box purple dragon? Geez, I have been thinking it was a reference to the thread about the cooler in the garage from a long time ago. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/doper-memes-that-i-wish-would-just-go-away/579877.md?page=7)
