Origin of 2+2 phrase?
When did people start using 'Do you see why', in their posts?
Everytime I see it I want to kick someone in the balls. It's just so f***ing annoying when someone puts that in their post.

Re: Origin of 2+2 phrase?
No idea why it started but it is somewhat condescending in my mind. Seems to me like you just explained something obvious then you ask them do you see why to belittle them idk just my opinion Guess it depends on the wording or the response DYSW?

Hehe, it's suppose to piss you off a little.
This is an old Sklansky/Malmuth phrase. You'll find it in their writing and it's been picked up by people on these forums. It's means to convey something like "don't be an idiot, figure it out" but often it's used by mere mortals here as a parody.
