I am _sure_ that I did not invent the above acronym for "Something Else Which I Will Explain In Comments". I am 100% convinced that I first encountered it on someone else's journal, in a poll.

And yet, Google insists that I created it.

[Poll #1774607]

SEWIWEIC: because I wanted an option for "something else but I have no bloody idea what" which was not present.

-- Steve could make uneducated maunderings about page ranking and cache rates, but isn't enough of a Google-wonk to really understand (let alone explain in comments) what's going on there.

I can't find SEWIWEIC or variants anywhere except your LJ, but then most people robots.txt their LJs even if they don't make them friends-only.

Yes, this, which I said even before Andy made this post :-)

I use OWIWEIC if that helps?

Yes, I was just going to suggest that you got it from [livejournal.com profile] star_tourmaline, having failed to notice your version was different.

Although of course my journal is locked so perhaps wouldn't show up on google? This might be another explanation for your acronym also?

The one I think of is 'OWIWEIC', which I think I got from [livejournal.com profile] star_tourmaline.

Ditto this. She is a trendsetter.

I've only ever seen it in your LJ, but then at least 95% of the polls I see are from you

Happily I understood it on first seeing.

[X] Andy has done something crazy because human beings are crazy by and large, and often remember things that aren't so.

Yeah, probably this, and I too knew what it meant without thinking first I saw it - it didn't even take a second to parse.

When you used it the other day, I had to google it because I had no idea what you meant.

Google only offered the poll I was already looking at, so I'd have to say you must have made it up.

My SEWIWEIC is a simple "Fucked if I know"

The rpg.net forums last option is usually "special snowflake".

hahah

I was reading Marrogs Journal and I encountered SEWIWEIC

Google sent me here...
