Have you noticed how many people in the media have started to use the word "peeps" when refering to people?

The quote was coined by one Xian (chalk another one up to yours truely for giving him that name, although this will never be admired by vince) from the WWE in regards to him when he was a proper face wrestler a good few years ago and has only just recently started to make it's way into "main stream" tv and radio, mainly on radio 1 during the entertainment news updates at around midday.

Or is it just me?

 

1st time i heard it Christian said it.

pretty cool i think.

 

I actually feel a lot stupider for reading that, thanks(!)

 

i somehow struggle to think that it was coined by a wrestler, i imagine people have been using that saying since the 70's!

 

Cant say that i've noticed that, but one thing i have noticed, and it really annoys me, is when people use "legend" to describe people.

Our local radio station (signal 1) said Taio Cruz was a legend the other day, no he isnt!!! lol

 

Oh, it's definitely just you.

Are you seriously saying that after searching through all records of the spoken and written word for say the last 25 years, you're going to give the credit for shortening a commonplace word to a wrestler?

How do you get out of bed in the morning without hurting yourself?

 

If you actually took the time to read the post you would have understood that the phrase I quoted was coined by Xian and it's not really been heard by me from any other source of note, and it's resurgance into the spotlight seems to have coincided with his drafting back to the WWE so I would imagine that's why it's been bought to the publics attention, yet why would the likes of the BBC champion it's useage in every day life?

But that's ok, I land on a wrestling mat and it's all pretend anyway so that's why I don't hurt myself in the morning

 

agreed, but christian coined the phrase and thats what he called his fans i believe, no dobut stone cold dojj austin will correct me if im wrong

 

I read it perfectly (for read, see "translated"!).

Are you also crediting yourself with naming this wrestler, and slating the owner of the WWE for not recognising this fact?

This is comedy genius!

 

I actually don't think its funny

I find it quite scary and sad

 

sums it up really

 

It's a never ending source of amazement to me that people who don't have a clue about something and deride it for being false, also become overnight experts on the subject matter and, rather than admit they know nothing, make statements that make them look like exactly the sort of person who thinks they k ow everything there is to know about a subject that they personally hate.

I'd you hate it then don't comment on it, WWE has a statement on it's website that says it does not read or enter into any corespondance or take notice of any of the ideas that are put forward, even though they use the ideas that are posted up on the various message boards, they will never admit to using those ideas.

It would take months to explain everything to you, if you were to ever be receptive enough to listen but the bottom line is that in the big leagues of wrestling (them being anything that will ever get you a contract in the wwe) you never ever day anything derogatory about vince, because he never forgets and will spend millions putting you down because of his ego.

I could go on but I think you are boring everyone

fiddy, correctamundo mate

 

I thought it was Harry Enfield's "Stavros" that started "peeps" as in "Hello everybody peeps"

So are you saying that
(a) A wrestler 'invented' the word 'Peeps'?

(b) Because of WWE the word has come back into common usage?

I very much doubt (a), but have no evidence to the contrary - but as for (b) I would bet my house and all my possessions that that it not the case.

 

You need help.

 

no dan, read what i've written

the first i heard of it was when Christian (who i shortened to xian way back in the day and then his screen name changed to xian a few weeks later, hence the reason i said "i called him that, my claim to fame, etc, especially after i'd already had 2 very well documented cases of doing a write up of how kurt angle was going to do a shakira "when ever where ever challenge" and after victoria's entrance theme was changed to "all the things she said" by them russian pop bints after she went a bit nutso (scripted) as a chracter) used it when it was the edge and xian tag team in relation to their "for those of you with flash photography, here is our 5 second pose"

you have to rememeber that this was going back some 10 or 12 years now when i first started posting on the wrestling boards and at the time there were lots of names and phrases coined by the peeps on the internet that went into general useage by the wwe, most famous of all was probably toothless aggression for chris benoit right at the start of the ruthless aggression phase of the wwe

now i think about it harry enfield may well have said it, but i didn't really watch and wasn't really a big fan

and 2, i've staretd to hear it again and, while it may not be as common as lots of other words, xian has recently rejoined the wwe and started using it again, so someone somewhere will have maybe heard it and it's started to be put into use more often than it was before

you know i could go on and on about wrestling for months and months, but the more i have to explain things, the more explaining i have to do to explain how those things came about, so it gets very long and complicated very quickly, i was mearly saying that i've noticed something, have you

and it seems that some have and some haven't

where's neil

 

get a grip.

 

it's wonderful how being famous makes you the envy of others

i feel like the stig

 

how would you know?

some proof, if you doubted me

 

I did read it, and that's what I understood by what I read. I'm even less sure about what you mean now though!

 

many of the other kids from 12 years ago still left?

or did they leave when they turned 13 and realised wrestling is for children, gays, cunts and stupid rednecks?

typically you discount anything you don't understand

why do you come on spouting about how great you and your boxing pals are when they only fight once every 6 months? is that because they are recovering from being twated silly in the ring by someone else? or because they're aren't enough of them with "skills" to go around? or because you haven't given them your seal of approval?

i posted the proof, you can't take it and so you've changed the subject all over again like you do in every other post you seem to post in

same with dave's post about him beating the lambo

at least put in some constructive criticism like dan has done rather than bullshit like you tend to turn some threads into

at least women can say they are on the blob, you go from one extreme to another in the blink of an eye, did someone beat you away from the lights this morning?

 

its either that or they left when their balls had dropped a little late and went and got a life..

 

did you not claim to have invented the "toothless aggression" thing as well?

i think you need to either lay off the crack, or stop posting about wrestling on here, as clearly its opening you up to ridicule.

 

what wrestling forums are you on? i have a mate who is well into it and he will know if you invented the stuff you claim to i reckon.

 

Thats when I first heard it, was it late 80's early 90's

 

stavros is what i think of when i hear it "ello peeps!"

 

i never claimed to have invented that, one of the guys who was posting at the time the ruthless aggression era was about posted that, and the wwe ran with it

plus i said that earlier in the post

 

 

You bastard!! You owe me 2% battery life for reading this thread on the train on the way home

 

sorry mate

 

Are you serious?

You need put to sleep.

I don't know whats worse. Watching wrestling or paying money to watch Beyonce mime her song

 

 

Fucking ROFL!

 

they've got their blinkers on mate so no matter what you say "they" are always right and if you don't like what "they" like then it doesn't matter because it's going to be shit

never mind that wrestlers wrestle 4 or 5 nights a week and boxers box perhaps 2 or 3 times a year, wrestling is "fake" and boxing ins't

 

Boxing is pants. Put a Boxer in with a MMA fighter and watch the boxer get a beating he'll never forget.

 

only under mma rule's. Different kettle of fish tbh
