4chan Greeting Catchphrase

Name: VIPPER 2005-04-09 23:25

Continued from a thread in /b/ where we tried and failed to come up with a question/answer pair that would serve to identify people as being possible Yotsubites.

Instead of saying "Hey man do you read 4chan?", which can potentially backfire, it would be wiser to have a catchphrase similar to SA's to greet each other outside of the forums.

This is top secret squirrel stuff :ssh:

General guidelines:

a) Do not post something fucking retarded like Q: "lol pedobear furry gaysex balls touching?" A: "ZOMG REI DONATE TO FUCK 4CHAN!". We need something that is an actual QUESTION AND ANSWER PAIR.
b) It's a Good Idea to only use the decided-upon catphrase to identify people as being Yotsubites, and not to use it all the time. We wouldn't want it entering popular lingo or spreading to groups of people who do not read the boards, as that would completely defeat the point of it.
c) Q: a question about the person you are asking to A: Affirmation, plus a subtle bit of information that identifies

A pretty good example is

Q: Did you see the news on Channel 4?
A: Yes, Richard C. Mongler died

Let's try to come up with something that doesn't suck ass, okay?

I don't think people get the concept of these catchphrases. It's not meant to be a question and answer pair about 4chan; it's meant to be a question and answer pair about THE PERSON YOU ARE TALKING TO. You are trying to find out if the person is a 4channer, so you are basically asking them "Do you read 4chan.org?" But instead of asking them if they read, you're asking them a bit of information about themself that normally would make sense, and people who are not Yotsubites will be able to answer, yet only Yotsubites will be able to give the correct answer.

It could work similar to the Stairs question because most people do have houses with stairs in them -- yet relatively few people have stairs in their house. Similarly, most people know where Nevada is -- but relatively few know where Nevada is.

The nevada one is probably the most workable of the bunch. If somebody is like 'wtf? you don't know where Nevada is?' then you can play it off as 'soandso asked me the other day, and for some dumbass reason I totally forgot lol' and avoid REVEALING THE BIG SECRET.

We have yet to see a truly awesome question that could be said in conversation at almost any time, not stand out from other sentences, yet be instantly recognizable. If I think of one I'll let you know, but for the moment Nevada is the best candidate.

Or something.

The Nevada question is a really dumb question because who DOESN'T know where Nevada is? News on channel 4 is workable, but kind of a weird question. I'd say favorite subject because it's a personal question that anyone can answer, and one that you might actually ask someone else.

SA's stairs handshake is based on a really old prank by Lowtax. 4chan's handshake needs to be based on something as old as this incarnation, at least.
Additionally, it has to be clean. It has to be able to be heard by children and repeated to their parents with no dire consequences.
But, sorry, I'm all out of clever right now, so no ideas from me.

Name: VIPPER 2005-04-10 0:34

The problem I see with the Nevada question is that Nevada is not *unique* to 4chan; Nevada is also popular on 2chan.  The best would be one involving Richard C. Mongler, IMHO.

Name: VIPPER 2005-04-10 0:39

see, the problem with a lot of these, what happens if a regular person is asking a 4channer the question... and the 4 channer responds with something odd...

I'M LAIN FROM YOUR WEBSITE 4CHAN -> might as well just ask "are you from 4chan", if we're going to be that blatant about it

How about:

Q: Who is your favorite anchor on the Channel 4 news?
A: Richard C. Mongler.

This solves the problem of being asked the "secret question" by a non-4channer, because it isn't too common of a question.  Also, if a 4channer asks this question to a non-4channer, further explaination can be averted.  A fellow 4channer will able easily recognize/answer the question, too.

Name: VIPPER 2005-04-10 1:15

I think it could be a normal question/answer pair, just asked and answered in a specific way. Examples:

Q: Are you a train enthusiast?
A: Yes, especially multi-track drifting.

Q: Do you partake in video gaming?
A: I quite enjoy battletoads.

Name: VIPPER 2005-04-10 1:16

>>72 I like the idea, but I'd tweek it
Q: did they change the anchor on Channel 4 news?
A: No, It's still Richard C. Mongler

I personally don't have huge objections to it but it still seems slightly clunky for some reason. Anyone else feel the same way?

Name: VIPPER 2005-04-10 1:24

>>78
Object! That question sucks. Why the hell would you ask someone that? Is should be a question that you might conceivably ask somebody you don't know, to find out more about them personally.

Name: VIPPER 2005-04-10 1:26

>>79 Yes, but onlyl because IMHO "Richard C Mongler" is too awkward of a psuedonym for Cockmongler; so anything with RCM is going to sound clunky.

Name: VIPPER 2005-04-10 1:27

>>79

But if its towards a non-4channer, you can easily shake it off by saying something like "Oh, wait, thats something else". It is an odd question, but its like that for a reason.
The only thing I feel wrong with it is that it seems like a common question, though its really not.
Maybe you could ask
"Did you see that new guy on channel 4 news?"
Thats a more relaxed way of asking.

That seems a little more like something you would ask someone that you don't know.  I like the 'channel 4' part, but I agree that asking 'did you see the news on channel 4' or whatever makes it seem like you know the person already.  Not like someone that you are randomly meeting.

I don't think that "normal questions" could work. After all, this is supposed to be a Secret Code Phrase. SA's Stairs question is somewhat random to an outsider. After all, how many times do you think you have to ask someone if their house has stairs in it?

That's why I think that we should have a similar pair. The Channel Four thing is okay, since it has a dual meaning; however since the frontpage of SA is what gave birth to the Stairs question, it would make sense to adopt a similar question for our own use, from the frontpage.

The only real problem I see with this is that it was actually Lowtax who came up with the Stairs question in the Space Robots prank, not knowing in advance that it would later be used by goons. The phrase "Do you have stairs in your house?" was actually in the article.

The only thing I can think of that would seem to work would be either a variation of the News question, or something involving the frontpage and its running joke of Moot in Mexico.

You guys don't get it. At ALL.

We are NOT trying to come up with a standard greeting between two 4channers. We are trying to come up with a secret question that you, person A, would ask the other guy, person B, to find out if he is a 4channer.

I guess I'll just go ahead and tell you. The stairs question goes:

Q: Do you have stairs in your house?
A: Yes, I am protected.

See? Now, it's a question that you can ask anyone, and if they ARE a goon, then they will answer with the correct answer. It's also a rare enough question (seriously, how many times in a person's life are they ever asked if someone's house has stairs in it?) that anyone who knows of the question/answer pair would immediately recognize "Hey, this person I just met in the elevator just asked me if I read SA..."

On the other hand, if the person you are asking the Stairs question is NOT a goon, he will probably say "...huh? Stairs in my house? What?" to which you can sit there and smile and say "Oh, never mind..." and fuck with them a bit with that, knowing that they are not protected and taking satisfaction in the fact that you just messed with their head a little.

This is the type of effect we are trying to come up with. We are asking this question to people we JUST MET, and it is NOT something that you ask someone when you see them in the morning on the way to work if you know someone reads 4chan.

After all, if you KNOW that Bob reads SA, and you have talked with him before about shit that goes on in the forums, do you really need to ask him if he is a goon every time you see him? No, of course not. Because you already know.

This is a one-time use question, that you as the 4channer are asking someone if you have a suspicion that they might also read 4chan. Think of it as a final test. If they respond correctly to the question, then you can say "Oh, awesome. This guy's a 4channer, too." But if they respond incorrectly, then you know that they don't read 4chan.

Thus we need to come up with a question that meets all the above guidelines in >>1,9 and it also has to be a rare enough question that it has nearly no practical value at all in conversation, and it must be simply and easily remembered.

ha, so that's what the stairs thing was about. I thought that was just a random question.

Name: VIPPER 2005-04-11 21:45

Q. Affirmative?

A. Negative.

Name: VIPPER 2005-04-11 23:31

It has to be something which is, first of all, an uncommon question that could be asked to all people without sounding weird. Thus, "Where is Nevada?" works, and "What was your favorite subject in middle school?" works. The latter more than the former, because it is a much less common question. Asking about high school is common, but nobody asks about middle school, since almost everyone hated it. Or maybe that's just me and my entire psychology class from high school, I'm not sure.

The response has to be very distinctive, yet sound normal enough that a passerby wouldn't have to say to themselves, "Wait, what did that person say? Nah, I'm just imagining things..." However, the distinctiveness is key. A response like "Mexican Studies. Everything else was moot." If people worry about someone possibly asking about their favorite subject in middle school, there could be another verification from the original asker. It wouldn't have to be so distinctive, but it would have to be something that's not common. Perhaps something like "Yeah, that was my 4th class of the day."

So, I think:
P1: "What was your favorite subject in middle school?"
P2: "Mexican studies. It's a moot subject, but I loved it anyway."
P1: "Yeah, that was my 4th class of the day."

Of course, variation could be introduced, too. The important parts are:

P1: "...........subject/class in middle school?"
P2: "Mexican studies. .....moot..."
P1: ".........4th........."

So, yeah. I like the Nevada one, but that's a question that I would honestly ask, without referring to 4chan at all. (Yeah, I'm a bit of an airhead.) Nobody asks about middle school, and the secondary verification from the first person would just make both people that much more sure, since asking about middle school isn't as uncommon as mentioning mexican studies, and then saying something using the word "moot". I mean, come on. Who even uses that word any more?

So, yeah. That's what my brainmeats came up with.

Name: VIPPER 2005-04-12 1:33

One thing to note, though, is that SA's hshake does not reference SA at all. So mentioning moot or the lucky number 4 sort of gives it away. Also, it should be a quick little back-and-forth, not some drawn-out shit that's obviously a forced in-joke.
I kinda like the mexican studies/middle school one. What sort of crazy Mensa middle school offers Mexican Studies?

The other thing about the SA handshake is that nobody uses it. Unless you've been reading GBS far too much, "I'm from the Internet" is the least direct thing you'd want to say to someone.

"Buttsecs?"
"buttsechs==yes!"

The only reason to do something like this is to feel like you're part of some secret, special group. If you base the password on /b/tard shit, the only kind of special you'll be is the short bus kind.

Thus: "Do you read 4chan?" "Yes." should do in all cases.

This secret 4chan question is a good idea and all,
but I don't really want to meet fellow 4channers,
I want to meet sexy women looking for one night stands!

We should make up a "secret" question and answer thing for women looking one night stands

Something like...

Man: "I have a condom, you wanna?"
Women: [ ] Yes
       [ ] No
       [ ] Call Police
       [ ] Ok, but do you even have a dick?
       [ ] Buttsechs!!
       [ ] Kouyama Mitsuki-chan!

Q: I really hate Bush don't you? (Or any variant of this)
Republican foot soldier: (negative response, threats to kill_
Smarter or more indifferent righty: *shrug* yeah me too but what're you gonna do.
Democrat/Commie bastard: *leg humping*
Libby: *useless, long-winded blather*
4channer: WAHA!!!! (which can be played off in the middle of a crowd as "Wa-haat?"
Alternate: You could replace him with aids-ridden snack cakes and not tell the difference.
Alternate Alternate: If you knew the scriptures of Jesus as well as he did, you would not fear the Raptor so. (played off as rapture, said in holistic tone of voice)
Alty Al Alternate (risky): No kidding, I would rather live in a frozen harbor in Soviet Russia than here. (May cause you to blacklisted from businesses if heard by the wrong people)
See, those responses work, because if someone asked you that, but was not from 4chan, you could pretend to be making fun of the president's gay stance, mocking the religious right, or complaining about cost of living, lack of personal local freedoms.

Seriously? I'd like for a secret question/answer set to exist, 'cause I like things like that. But anyone who cares about stuff like this will now suspect anyone who mentions Mexico to be secretly referring to 4chan. And everybody who doesn't like the Mexico thing or the Nevada thing or whatever will say, "But no, the SA thing is so good. Why can't we make something like that?" because they have it in their heads that a set referring to stairs and protection is perfect, when some originality or at least self-referentiality on the part of 4channers would make for a good set. Because if someone didn't read 4chan, they wouldn't get a reference, and so it wouldn't matter that it was a reference. It's unlikely (not impossible, but unlikely, so don't cite the three and a half instances in the entire internet that exist) that a website would talk about what goes on in 4chan, and it's unlikely as well that anybody would remember what they read about what goes on in a website they don't read. But hey, who am I to try to resolve things? I'm just a random VIPPER.

The only good one so far is the rules one and two one. It can't backfire because if they don't know then you just say it's from fight club.
Most of the others, if someone didn't know about 4chan they would think you were talking absolute random bullshit.
Even the ones that sound innocent could backfire as the answer is random crap, and if someone asked that innocent question who wasn't a channer you would look like a dick for saying the reply.

I on the other hand have been using it successfully in my city, and only get responses from /tards.
/b/etter would be a small card we could keep in our wallets on the off chance a LEO /b/rother pulls us over, think of it as a get out of jail free card. They see it as you show them your id, don't question what it is if they're not /b/ro's and if they are and you're not being a serious public threat, you get away with small public nusciences.. maybe some breaks on parking tickets even put them on your dash, could curtail speeding tickets, parking tickets, and just generally any LEO over reaction.
  "help a /b/rother out?" was our inital Q and the A was up to the LEO. I and many DQN escaped with our lives because a fellow /tard indeed helped a /b/rother out, seeing the /b/ in the top corner of my business card.

It was also extended to resumes in my city and has worked great,
using a 6pt /b/ in the bottom corner of a resume was amazingly effective, and lead to a great job with a telecom company.
Maybe someone should make an FAQ like the couponers did..
This will never reach its full potential without LEO and /b/.. the home of kawpypastuh.
