this is the gayest of many gay words/phrases that came to pass in the gay year of 1999. now it is primarily used by gay consultants who think it is still(?) cool.

You guys really got confused by this? Come on, guys.

I must say I was/am flummoxed.

Q2#3 seems redundant. Or it's some kind of question-answering skill-tester.

Perhaps just a little slaphappy today.

It's because a large number of people will answer both polls . If the 3rd option wasn't there I bet a large number of people would have voted for the second.

Apparently 2/3rds of the voters thought that way.

What about Q2#1-2 having 23 replies while Q1#1 has 20.

Thankfully American Idol is on in less than two hours. That should distract me from this confusion.

BVT,

"What about Q2#1-2 having 23 replies while Q1#1 has 20."

Yes, that is indeed an indicator of some dumb-assness.

The third answer was put in the poll for two reasons:

1) Give "no" answerers a way to see results of that poll.

2) Make it less likely that "no" answerers end up accidentally answering and thus screwing up results of second poll.

In my opinion, this usage is incredibly retarded.

It always irritates me when people use the word ping in this context. If you are one of those people, I have lost whatever remaining shred of respect I may have had for you.

I've used it online, never in conversation.

In newsgroups, it was used to get someone's attenion.
A header might read,
Ping: El D

Now people use,
