Whenever there's a repost people say Germans, what's the story behind that? I'm assuming something local to TD because I haven't seen it on other forums.

First jokes were "We landed on the moon!"

Then came: "Japan bombs Pearl Harbor!"

Then out of respect to Animal House....

"The Germans bomb Pearl Harbor!"

Then settled on "Germans."

It means when something has been already discussed or it's so old it most likely was already discussed on the board.

AKA: Old news

the admins have these training sessions
in reality they're just big gay orgies. I mean dicks and arse EVERYWHERE.
at first TD only had so many admins so they had to keep fricking and sucking each other.
As time passed and the hired more and more admins.
One of the admins, cant say his name but it rhymes with dummy.Wanted to try someone new and came up with a signal to let the faceless nameless person attached to the dick that ,he wanted someone else.

So he came up with the phrase, "move it along Nancy"
but with a dick in his mouth it sounded like something in German

so Germana became the catch-all phrase for

"we've done this before"

You're an idiot if you thing TD invented Germans. TD is a regional forum.

It's super old and equally annoying. People have yet to find a better way to tell people their topic is old.

I've never seen it referenced when talking about reposts anywhere else but here.

chronologically incorrect.

Personally, I always thought it was the Germans lost WWI, then tried again and lost WWII.
So, "Germans" was out of respect for trying something twice.
