OK I'm just wondering because I'm kinda new here, but what is a neckbeard? Is it literally someone who has beards on their necks, or is it some kind of derogatory term against programmers?
Thanks,

Also is SEPPLES C++, if it is, that's kinda funny.
I've also noticed that you talk about XARN and have apparently linked to his blog. What is so special about him, is he a really good programmer or something like that?

Also how you become a BB-code expert like some of you obviously are? If anyone would so kind as to post the BB-source code to the "get back to X please" I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,

PS. I'm sorry I'm spamming up this thread, I hope you don't mind, but I can't find an edit button. Guess I'll give future posts more thought, so many questions!
Neckbeard - nerdy basement dwelling and/or home stranded males. They refuse to shave beard or facial hair, leave house or get social and be a productive member of society(in terms of non-digital production).
SEPPLES - fan nickname for C++ deriving from its phonetic corruption of CeePlusPlus
BB-Code expert - they (mostly) use programs to automatically generate intricate geometric patterns and elaborate text hacks to emphasize their "secret knowledge" of text modification. Its a digital art like people drawing ASCII birds(which also have programs to generate and aid generation of said art).

No that's not me, I'm not a huge attention hug and won't bump uninteresting threads intentionally. (I also don't say "bro".)
Of course as we both understand you only have my word for it, so you can give it whatever you weight you want.
I found lurking was ineffective considering there are nice people like >>19 on this board, but I don't take it for granted. I have lurked some, but perhaps I'm just slower than your average person.
Also at >>28 , if the definitions are wrong in at least some way, can I bother you with making corrections?

Also it would be nice if any of you could share what is up with that HAX MY ANUS stuff, I guess there is some story behind it?
And that "get back to X please", is that just a play on board elitism?
Is SICP any good, or are you all just making fun of it?
Thanks,

(PS. I actually do appreciate it when you bother to help me, thank you, whoever you are.)
