simonjedi Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 I've noticed some posts here have things like hunt for 2008 sets on and things like that what does (whatever) on! mean? who started using it e.c.t Quote
Starwars4J Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 It means what it says, the hunt is on :-P Basically it means "it has begun". It originated from lego's slogan "Play on!", but became popularized here on EB, I believe, when our admin *yoda* used ON! regularly in his posts in that manner. From Lego.com: From "Just Imagine ..." to "Play on ..."With effect from January 2003 the LEGO Company's new slogan will be "Play on ...". The new slogan has its roots in several years' efforts to approach the core of the Company's personality. A core which has now been crystallised into five values Quote
Asuka Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 The source of all evil.... X-D (beside *yoda* that is....) Quote

DoubleT Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 He he i remember very clearly when it all started, it was at an event, where *yoda* , copmike and i was jokeing around, someone metioned "play on", and then the rest was history... Quote
Norro Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 It's about time Yoda gets the credit he deserves for this innovation! I've even stooped to "Castle On" lately in his honour... God Bless, Nathan Quote
DoubleT Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 :-P yes, but the credit goes to Copmike and me also :-P Quote
SirNadroj Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 I always wondered where that came from! But it makes sense! ;-) ON ON! :-D Quote

Play On Stauder! :-P Wayne's World, Wayne's World, party time, excellent! Heheh, great movie. Anyway, when I saw it, (the ON thing, not Wayne's World), I just rolled with it, and said <something relevant to what I just said or the topic> ON! :-P Wayne's World ON!

Mr Spielbrick Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 For some reason I want to shout 'more on!' but that might not sound friendly... ;-) Quote
Capn Frank Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 I too was wondering where this "on" thing came from. :-) I figured *yoda* , TT, and/or Copmike started it all with those guys on-ing everything and all X-D P Quote
SlyOwl Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 Hmm...I was under the impression "on" was just a typical nerdy expression - I've used it before, in actual speech, not *yoda* "Away put your weapon, I mean you no ham!" Pirate King Skelly Killer SlyOwl Quote
