Goat

Okay...what is the deal with the word "goat" as used on the site? I've always understood it to mean "greatest of all time", so I thought it was intended to be used sarcastically. However, recent posts have made me believe it has some other meaning. What am I missing?

It comes from Lou (drunkengoat) and refers in a broad sense to doing something foolish (like a trade for an A+/D hitter)

I guess some people use it that way. I've always used it as a placeholder for saying nothing ("there is no response worth making here"), which makes it puzzling that Sarah Silverman (and Tyson, apparently) thinks I insulted him. Whatever. How do you respond to someone who thinks the simulation is out to get them?

Plus since they ended thread you can't explain that to frankie as if you need to or should but at least he would know no offense was thrown at him with that word you were just responding to drunkengoat.

if you had half a brain, you would understand that, but because you just want to insult someone instead of offering some advice or criticism, that makes you a moron.

If it is supposed to be in reference to doing something foolish, then you were being insulting in the sense that you used the word.if you had half a brain, you would understand that, but because you just want to insult someone instead of offering some advice or criticism, that makes you a moron.

I never insulted you. I suggested your closer isn't what you think he is, and I wondered why you think the game is out to get you. And I said goat a few times, which as I've already explained is just a placeholder, like saying "..." Relax, man, it's not worth working up all the anger.

Funny story... When I started "winning" in the OGL, we tried replacing it temporarily with "Geoff."It didn't quite work out.

I always thought that "Geoff" was more of a reference to my battle with Diction and Grammer, than my lack of victories

Perhaps it should be used for only the very specific case of capitalizing words seemingly completely at random.

Goat + Drunken is just a smoke screen to put people off guard. When you least expect it, he pulls off some great deal propelling his team to victory. I am not sure when Goat has done that, but I am sure that he has many times! Oh, he did one time when I traded him Memory. Later he made the playoffs. They players I received helped me intot he playoffs the next year.Pages: 1
