  • mrbad101, on 04/16/2009, -8/+284I enjoyed how Vimeo broke out of the Diggbar.

    Figured it would only be a matter of time before sites started doing this. Who wants all their search engine urls indexed as Digg's?

    Good job Vimeo!

  • soogy, on 04/16/2009, -0/+143Good, kind sir, thank you for your inquiry. It has come to my attention that you are fond of discussion, thusly I have appended a statement of opinion at the conclusion of your inquiry, therefore you are now capable of appending further statement of opinions to those which have responded to you, hence continuing this discussion within the previous discussion, so that you may discuss the previously discussed matters while you discuss further matters which may or may not have relevance to the previous discussion at hand.

  • Shazbuckle, on 04/16/2009, -26/+80PROTIP: The original and correct format is "SUP DAWG". Don't be a ***** by putting "YO DAWG".

  • danj321, on 04/16/2009, -0/+19what's ad... WAIT A MINUTE.
  • purplesun2, on 04/16/2009, -0/+19It's pronounced like it is in the video. It's actually a word created by... Richard Dawkins?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meme

    Yeah, Richard Dawkins back in the 70's.

    "Richard Dawkins, who invented the word, first introduced it in The Selfish Gene (1976) to theorize evolutionary principles in explaining the spread of ideas and cultural phenomena. He claimed as examples melodies, catch-phrases, and beliefs (notably religious belief), clothing/fashion, and the technology of building arches."
  • geoboy, on 04/16/2009, -0/+18***** you and the tinypic you rode in on.
  • PPCG4, on 04/16/2009, -0/+17This should be a lesson to all of you that you sound like a douche when you use internet slang in real life.
  • Hazardc, on 04/16/2009, -1/+17This meme was created on /b/, and nobody on /b/ uses "sup dawg"

    Even look on the article you posted, most of the pics say YO DAWG

    PROTIP: L2READ
  • cosmicr, on 04/16/2009, -1/+17thats a good website.
  • fuzzymuzzy, on 04/16/2009, -0/+16Wrong, Milhouse is not a meme is a meme
  • AndrewWiggin, on 04/16/2009, -1/+16Digg fixed that search engine redirects yesterday (well, they announced it then, should be fixed within a week they said).

    The only thing I find annoying about the Diggbar is that I want to be able to glance at the location bar and see what site I am at. They should make the URL more prominent in the Diggbar.
  • dan0964, on 04/16/2009, -1/+16You got it so wrong I dugg you up

  • Biscuitz, on 04/16/2009, -1/+14Sup dawg, I heard you like comments that say exactly what was in the video, so I....

    God damn it.
  • john2kx, on 04/16/2009, -2/+15http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=meme

    It's "meem", so now you don't have to look like an idiot anymore.
  • burden555, on 04/16/2009, -0/+12down
  • zarcu, on 04/16/2009, -0/+12...wow
  • mtcobb2, on 04/16/2009, -0/+12I look at it like this: It should be 'yo dawg' because in the context of the show, it wouldn't make sense for Xhibit to be saying 'sup dawg', since he's already been speaking to the owner of the ride he's pimping for some time. So even if it was originally 'sup dawg', 'yo dawg' makes a lot more sense. Mabe I'm just being a *****, though.
  • Advenger, on 04/16/2009, -2/+14This has to be appended into an image now!

    And give Xzibit a monocle.
  • Harbinger67, on 04/16/2009, -1/+12Keep your x out of my y, no means no.
