It doesn’t count when you say it yourself!

Good one! This word should enter the general English vocabulary.
Who among us can see a product labeled **“0g Trans Fat” **with the same eyes as before? Not I, that’s for sure.
Wow - been seeing that username for years, never once realised from whence it originated - until now, thanks!
In terms of the OP, another good example not yet mentioned is “whoosh” - occasionally comes up IRL, and I always think of the SDMB.

“I can’t believe nobody’s mentioned…”
Side note: I think “hilarity ensues” originated at Fark before it made its way here.
Oh, “hilarity ensues” is part of the language and has presumably been so since the olden days. It’s just the penis variation that we claim as our own.
Gotcha ya (which, admittedly, I don’t hear often, but when someone says “gotcha” in a smug way, I mentally add the “ya”)
Did you force evolve opposable thumbs to post in this thread?
Just to have mentioned it, has anybody thought of going back to the oldest threads (that haven’t been aroused from their zombiedom) to look for the earliest utterance that has since become one of those unique-to-SDMB things?
Recently in the Made-Up, False and Flat-out Wrong Trivia Dominoes thread, someone used the phrase “chuck pumpkins.” I thought that was the funniest name I’ve ever heard, and the thread turned into a bunch of trivia of good old “Charles Sylvester Marigold “Chuck” Pumpkins.”
I’ll never hear the words “chuck” or “pumpkins” without laughing again.

Unca (anybody) makes me think of The Master.
Buckeye.

After yesterday, I realized “Cameroon” makes me think of SDMB.
Or Ice-blue jelly dongs either.
I just mentioned “cow-orker” in a post and got a reply that it is a funny typo. I clarified that it’s not a typo but one of them there “SDMB Meme thingies” I saw ages ago. It’s second nature to me now not to refer to that other archaic term even in “serious” correspondence. I even say it like that!
Cow-orker goes way back. I remember seeing it when I started reading the snopes board around 1998. I read somewhere once that it began several years before that.
