Ditto means "right back at ya!!" :D

[Green Ranger]

I was told Ditto means I agree with you kinda thing. I think Greenwood will beat Merkel. Ditto, they look strong. Example but that is what I have been told

[Bandera YaYa]

Ranger Mom:
Ditto means "right back at ya!!" :D Or..."I agree with you".

[Bandera YaYa]

That's funny...I'm always saying things, old phrases and quotes, things I grew up hearing and saying....and my girls look at me like I'm crazy or they haven't a clue about what I mean....This reminded me of that! :rolleyes:

[slpybear the bullfan]

"I agree with you."

[Pudlugger]

It's a cognate with dictus Latin for said

[Italian dialectal, past participle of Italian dire, to say, from Latin dcere. See deik- in Indo-European Roots.]
Word History: Ditto, which at first glance seems a handy and insignificant sort of word, actually has a Roman past, for it comes from dictus, “having been said,” the past participle of the verb dcere, “to say.” In Italian dcere became dire and dictus became detto, or in the Tuscan dialect ditto. Italian detto or ditto meant what said does in English, as in the locution “the said story.” Thus the word could be used in certain constructions to mean “the same as what has been said” for example, having given the date December 22, one could use 26 detto or ditto for 26 December. The first recorded use of ditto in English occurs in such a construction in 1625. The sense “copy” is an English development, first recorded in 1818. Ditto has even become a trademark for a duplicating machine.

Okay, I'll play dumber. What actually do the letters ROM stand for on this board? (Since I don't know, this won't happen to me, will it?!?!)

[Brahma73]

Just a guess... is it "Relieved Of Membership????"

[JasperDog94]

ROM = Read Only Member

Basically, it's up the the administrators (input from members) but as far as I can determine, the rules include: 1) no cursing (unless it's damn - 'coz it was allowed in someone's grandma's house :) ); 2) no extreme badmouthing of a player by name; 3) no referring to someone's "lifestyle". Not sure what all of them are, but I don't think I've ever seen anything you've posted that would get you ROM'd.
