I found it, apparently it was part of a comment in a Caps Lock Day thread, as part of a Base64-encoded gzip-compressed ALL CAPS version of the Treaty of Münster, part of the Peace of Westphalia.I'm pretty sure to a lot of people in the world that 'explanation' makes about as much sense as the comment you were trying to explain.

I got curious about that too (IvanF also asked about it as well). So I restricted your word list to those that were in the top 10% most frequently used on the site as a whole, then sorted those by relative frequency of use. Taking the top and bottom 20 for you yielded this:True story: I am a professional Canadian.

RareIn both cases, some of the rarely used words are more an artifact of the fact that the MetaFilter corpus spans its entire history but, because of increases in membership and posting, must be biased toward the present; while, in contrast, as EB my activity is limited to 2004-2007 and as IF to the last year. That, I think, explains most (but not all) of why afghanistan appears in the rare IF list and obama appears in the rare EB list. Possibly also glenn and facebook in the latter list, as well.glenn, elected, monster, bp, 3d, competition, plant, cameras, clothes, dig, robot, budget, awesome, apple, bike, funding, tea, iphone, facebook, and obama.
Words iamkimiam uses heavily that (practically) no one else does:I clearly like to talk about languages and relationships. I might be skewing my own research data here.
