In response to "Cow orker isn't an ST-ism, it dates back to at least the mid-90s. -- nm" by loosilu

I consider it an ST-ism because I heard it here first (well TT) so that's where it was introduced to me.

And I've never seen or heard it used anywhere else, so it remains associated with us.

I consider it so because I had never seen it before here. TT is the first place it annoyed the crap out of me. TTism. - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 16, 08:45 10
- I remember seeing it the first time, drawing attention to it and getting jumped on by someone for not knowing the term and it's usage. - Cuzzin Todd Jul 16, 08:55 1

  - I was *just* going to say this. somehow I think that rap music has kept word at least a little relevant. "word" is also spelled correctly and doesn't - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 16, 08:52 4

Yeah, we are the only place that is lame enough to continue it. -- nm - Spawn Jul 16, 08:44 4

I first saw it on Usenet in the mid-90s. Dilbert popularized it in the late 90s I think. -- nm - loosilu Jul 16, 08:39 4
- That doesn't really matter to me. And doesn't change the validity of the B2 posts you're referring to and trying to prove wrong. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 16, 08:43 1
  - you're welcome to hate it. I hate lots of words people say here. -- nm - loosilu Jul 16, 08:43
- I love this. The tradition must be carried on. -- nm - con_carne Jul 16, 08:41 1
  - here we go, it has been traced to 1989. This makes sense to me since I probably first saw it in 1992. -- (link) - loosilu Jul 16, 08:41
