I've seen it a few times now. Is this one of the more annoying inside jokes? Is it related to the user wendell? Or is that just a coincidence? posted by poweredbybeard at 11:18 AM on December 19, 2006

Both are true. posted by euphorb at 11:22 AM on December 19, 2006
It's sarcasm. What the person really means is that it's a nerdy pool. Or maybe that everyone here is a loopy nerd. Or maybe we should drop lye on the thread? What we need here is a solution to an older pony. posted by Plutor at 11:46 AM on December 19, 2006
But it's not just an anagram. It's also some kind of delicious internal Spoonerism. That's what makes it so charming. posted by chrismear at 12:01 PM on December 19, 2006 [1 favorite]
This is why you have to read the entire site every day.
True, otherwise you don't fully appreciate how quickly one humorous comment gets driven into the motherlovin' ground and becomes more noise.

First attempt at summit of MeTa proved daunting. One-liners and cryptic references flying; visibility low. Sherpas insisted we return to basecamp, and I agreed. We may scuttle the expedition, return to MeFi or AskMe, try again when the weather is warmer. Spirits are low.

I am so jealous of wendell. I wish I could fit "The Deej" into some kind of inside joke. But the only anagram I can figure for "The Deej" is heed jet (or jet heed). Maybe this can be an AskMe question: Help me work "Heed jet" into threads to start a spontaneous inside joke! And what should I name my cat, who scratched me, resulting in a huge puss-oozing rash (which, by the way, should I see a doctor for this?) and then she ran out in front of a car (1998 Honda Civic; anyone know if this is a good car?), then I brought her back in the house to watch MythBusters with me (did you know asavage is Adam Savage from MB?) and she seemed really interested, so I was thinking maybe a geeky/techy name, but not "quonsar" cuz he is fucking idiot. posted by The Deej at 6:27 PM on December 19, 2006
