So how come this poll is closed already after three days? (well , it is kind of a lame poll).

Does this indicate that people are stupid because they like bike lanes? I don't get it.

I can't remember who it was, but they tagged it on N_C one day and since it has gotten kind of popular all over. Kind of a cross between word it rhymes with that begins with a P and 'weenie'.

I kinda thought Weenus sounded like someone whose 'w' has been inserted into his own 'a'. It's a very good word. I'm going to use it sometime.

I am the first one who started repeating Chipcom's "weenus" as an insult. I still love the word and will use it every day.

"weenus" fan,

Heck, I thought the word was invented for those on this list who often use the Royal First Person Pronouns "We" and Us" instead of "I" and "Me" in order to falsely attach more credence to their personal opinions.

I though it stood for weekly net usage statistic (or something like that).

But I'm not the one who came up with it. I think the thread where it was introduced got locked, might have been the infamous 'smoker's challenge thread' where someone first applied it (or at least where I first saw it).
