Do you now use the expression "RIP" outside of Atlas?

[Adam Griffin]

Inspired by a chat yesterday. Comparable to how some use adjectives as nouns thanks to this place. Personally, I can't get enough of it.



RIP Atlas
RIP opebo
RIP boundaries
RIP RL standards

I've always used the expression "RIP".

I've always used the expression "RIP".

Well yeah, I mean, it's an expression and all. Rather, I meant more along the lines of using it in a facetious fashion.

Oh, well no. I suppose I could start using it when people "lag out" of games

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Yes, and because of Atlas .

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

I've once or twice used it to describe people not present in a conversation, assuming them to be dead, seeing as they're not there.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Yep.

[Flake]

No

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Yes, I use it all day to describe most things. It's really becoming a common term in my social circles. I can't explain why.

[Redalgo]

I never really use RIP for anything, whether here or elsewhere. It is a well-intentioned but superstitious and silly remark, much like how people tend to reply to sneezes with "bless you." Its use on the Atlas is meanwhile melodramatic and tied in enough to the anti-mod culture around here that I want nothing to do with it.

Other than when someone dies, no (normal)

[Lief 🗽]

I was using it before Atlas.

[Napoleon]

I was using it before Atlas.

And same with using adjectives as nouns. You guys aren't as original as you think.

[Anti Democrat Democrat Club]

I used it before I even knew about it.
