As you may have noticed, I have changed my name to Shwoo, a name with a lot of history behind it... Kind of.
First some backstory to skip over. Around the 02/03 period, I was a KND Fan of a forum, whose site had died in October 2001. This had caused a schism between the forum goers and the chatroomers. The chatroomers considered the forum goers to be pathetic morons who couldn't let go of the past, and the forum goers, in retaliation, considered the chatroomers to be a bunch of elitest hypocritical jerks. As I said, I was a forum goer. For some reason, I was the most respected and mature KND Fan, which probably says something about the maturity of the others.
Anyway, one day, a couple of KND Fans started say "coo" a lot, to my annoyance. Soon after, a newbie showed up, who said "shweet" a lot. And... You can see where this is going, can't you? Anyway, the one person who went to both the forum and the chatroom declared a war between shweet and coo. This consisted of:
Coo guy: Coo.
Shweet guy: Shweet
Coo guy: COO!!
Shweet guy: SHWEET!!
Coo guy: [glow=red,2,300]COO!!!![/glow]
Shweet guy: [glow=red,2,300]SHWEET!!!![/glow]
Ad nausuem. Then they called a truce and combined the two words to create one uber-word: Shwoo. It was our word for "cool" or "awesome" for a while, but it fell out of use when the forum died.
Sorry about the long post, but I really wanted to tell that story. I miss that forum.
