Ok, I confess. Newbie here. What the heck does "Germans" mean when I see it referred to in these threads?

It is a joke that is completely overused and I have never found particularly funny.

All it means is that someone posted something that has been posted before.

Some people have found very clever ways to Germanise the board.

Occasionally, I'll admit it - but for the most part it is a shitty "joke".

and i have never gotten the tie in with belushi's line -- "was it over when the germans bombed pearl harbor?" .. i mean all that means is that he was wrong and no one wanted to stop him because he was on a roll .. so how does the term "germans" imply something is old news or has been posted before ?

From what I heard, before, whenever someone posted old news, people would write something like "And Man has walked on the Moon" or "The Japanese have bombed P.H." Eventually, someone used the A.H. line, instead, and said "The Germans have bombed P.H." And then it just evolved into "Germans".

Maybe...but doesn't it feel great when you're on the board so much that you can catch something posted twice and throw it in their face...what a rush!
