Information on reg ;) (3 entries)

| A long-lasting, relatively meaningless catchphrase spawned back in 2002. It is probably #jj2's single longest-surviving catchphrase now, and over time the single most used, arguably. The catchphrase spawned from AutoVoice's autotalk function repeating the line "reg ;)" over and over, causing it to catch on. "reg" is Afrikaans for "right" and was originally said by Disguise. The exact context is unknown today, and is largely irrelevant. |

| Note that the pronounciation for "reg" is up for debate, regardless of how it is pronounced in the original Afrikkans. Some believe it should be pronounced with a soft g, while others advocate a hard g being used instead. It should also be noted that autovoice, who popularized reg ;) supported using a soft g. Therefore it is the correct pronounciation. |

| The first instance of "reg ;)" in #jj2 was at 2003-01-15 10:40:07. Wisety was talking to Ri in Afrikaans. <Wisety_TILESET> of = or in english <Ri> O.o <Ri> ....................:B <Ri> of = or ja <Wisety_TILESET> reg ;) This context is rarely remembered nowadays. reg ;) has come to be kind of a simplified philosophy. People often ask... <Newspaz> By the way, it would be great if someone could tell me what reg means. I've been wondering about that for like a year now <Mono[bot-lith]> reg is reg ;) <Mono[bot-lith]> I don't think it can be explained any more than that other than seeing how it's used So here's some examples of it's usage. It's commonly used as an expression. <SlaYo> Wisety, my pokemon has evolved, beat that ;) <Janneman_Beute> reg ;) It can be used in bad times. <Janneman_Beute> but i;m pissed off <VeggieMan> your reg ;)ed off It's used to augment good things. <VeggieMan> ut2k4 reg ;) It can cheer people up. <Stratn> ;( <VeggieMan> reg ;) <Stratn> reg ;) It can be used in a parting. <Spaztic[dead]> Night <Spaztic[dead]> reg ;) It can also be used as a greeting. <DarkShadow_> iCeD reg ;) <iCeD> DS reg ;) And, umm, agreement in groups. <Tickbot> Jesus Christ looked upon the damaged masses and said unto his hard drain people, "WITH NATALIE PORTMAN AROUND, NOT A SINGLE GUY IN THE WORLD WOULD NEED VIAGRA.!" <VeggieMan> reg ;) <Monolith> reg ;) <Stratn> reg ;) |
