+Renegade Knight Posted June 29, 2005 Author Share Posted June 29, 2005 Don't worry, You nailed the first use of "Forum Angst" Quote Link to comment
+sept1c_tank Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 So it took nearly three years for the forum masses to learn the application of forum angst. Now we just need to find the origin and history of lame. Quote Link to comment
+sept1c_tank Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Apparently, this is the first use of the term lame cache. Now, who can find the earliest post with both angst and lame used simultaneously? Quote Link to comment
+Yamahammer Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Now, who can find the earliest post with both angst and lame used simultaneously? This would be it! Quote Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted June 29, 2005 Author Share Posted June 29, 2005 Apparently, this is the first use of the term lame cache. Now, who can find the earliest post with both angst and lame used simultaneously? Hmmm... I would never have thought about 'Lame' being a geocache descritpion that early in the game. Looks like todays micro's don't have a lock on it. Back then, they also used "Cache Gangsters" for people who steal caches. Quote Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted June 29, 2005 Author Share Posted June 29, 2005 (edited) OK..... Ok is too short for a normal search for it's first use. The First use of Plundered in the forums goes back to Plundered Edited June 29, 2005 by Renegade Knight Quote Link to comment
+treasure_hunter Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Try the words HATE and MICRO, that outta bring back some results! Quote Link to comment
+carleenp Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Try the words HATE and MICRO, that outta bring back some results! Yes, it will reveal angst. Quote Link to comment
+sept1c_tank Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Speaking of angst, Godwin's law was first mentioned in these forums here (of course the dreaded N... and H..... words occured earlier than that). Quote Link to comment
+sept1c_tank Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 This is possibly the first post ever made in these forums; note the total lack of angst. The post dates back to Oct 7, 2000, @ 04:25 AM. The poster, some guy calling himself iryshe, was obviously an early riser. Quote Link to comment
+Isonzo Karst Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Jeremy can have angst. I've got schaudenfraude. Admit it, you get just a tinge of pleasure when someone DNFs a tough cache that YOU found (especiallly if you found it easily). Schaudenfraude schaudenfraude schaudenfraude - Hey!

+mtn-man Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Merged the schaudenfraude topic into this one. No need for two. Quote Link to comment
+Spencersb Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Ich werde nie böse in den Foren! "I become never bad in the forums"? I searched for "lampost micro" but didn't find anything older than 2003. Quote Link to comment
+carleenp Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 I believe it is time to abandon angst and begin using anguish. Quote Link to comment
+VegasCacheHounds Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 I believe it is time to abandon angst and begin using anguish. I can't believe it....you're abandoning "angst"? Whats the world coming too? Quote Link to comment
+treasure_hunter Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Ich werde nie böse in den Foren! "I become never bad in the forums"? I searched for "lampost micro" but didn't find anything older than 2003. If you translate correctly it translates to "I never get angry in the forums!" You need to brush up on your German! Verstehen Sie die Wörter, die von meinem Mund herauskommen? Böse means both angry and bad, so I can see where you misunderstood me! Quote Link to comment
+carleenp Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 I believe it is time to abandon angst and begin using anguish. I can't believe it....you're abandoning "angst"? Whats the world coming too? I know that causes anguish, but all will survive.... Quote Link to comment
+hikergps Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Saw a catchy word the other day. Snarky. It has become the buzzword in our house. Did a search but it is less than a month old. Quote Link to comment

+Joypa Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Anguish is as anguish does. (Doesn't have the same ring to it.) Quote Link to comment
+sept1c_tank Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Carleen, being a word smith, you understand that angst is defined as feeling anguish. So, semantically speaking, if you abandon angst for anguish, you accomplish nothing. Personally, I think we should add anguish to angst everytime we use it (for emphasis). Then, of course, redundancy becomes the issue. But redundancy is a cuddly puppy next to the pit bull of angst. Quote Link to comment

Oops, double posting violation. Snarky is a GREAT WORD! My parents used to use it a lot. Definitely a good forum posting word! Quote Link to comment
+sept1c_tank Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 (edited) So I was looking for the first forum reference to dead horse and I found this very refreshing and enlightening thread. Dated in March 2001 in the West/southwest regional forums, the topic meanders through a variety of subjects including increasing stash activity, urban stashes, maps, stickers, get togethers (events), Jeeps, intra-state competition, Degree Confluence, the weather, environmental impact of caching, land manager relations, cache density, adopt-a-highway, geocaching public image, and the press. There is one use of the phrase dead horse, but not in reference to a forum topic. As is true with most forum topics outside of the general forums, there is remarkably no angst.

+TresOkies Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Looks Like Jeremy had the distinction.. Only three days before my first find. The only angst I was experiencing was hunting tupperware in central texas heat with no water and my wife wearing heels. Quote Link to comment
+cachew nut Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 This may be the first use in a travel bug log. I also recall seeing posts by someone named AngstMonger, but I don't think they predate the OP's reference. Quote Link to comment
+EleriandBlade Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 I love snarky. To snark, he, she or it snarks, we are snarking.... I note that one of my favorite words has been used here in 4 threads...which were probably moderated soon afterwards Quote Link to comment
