Perfectly acceptable.
Holy crap, did your mom paint your toenails too? 
People do that all the time. We recruit them to do this - - kind of a counterpoint, if you will, to the teenage groms who come on every few years and barrage us with a blizzard of threads and posts about anything and everything.

"Perfectly" sounds kinda ghetto, maybe even ghey!
"Holy Crap" you ain't smelling what I'm smelt!

I'd like to add:
"Stop being mean, junkyard."
Or anything similar to that.

Time to update the list:
Crew - - as in "Me an' my crew rode . . ."
This should only be used if you happen to be on a collegiate rowing team . . . or if you are a bona fide rock star and other people set up your lights and sound.
Or if you actually have to pay others to ride with you and maybe portage your bike at river crossings. Then I suppose that would make them your crew.

Webster's defines "crew" as :
2
a : a group of people associated together in a common activity or by common traits or interests
Nothing about "people serving" or "being paid" or rowing. Get some esteem, and a dictionary!

From the "Reflections of 2011" thread:
I don't necessarily mind it, they just need to know what the hell they are talking about.

What about homies, can we substitute HOMIES for crew. Or is it spelled HOMEES? Of course as a chubby 57 year old white (think typing paper) guy, saying homee is kinda like putting Horse Radish on Pecan Pie. Saying homie is fun though!
As in "me and ma homees be kickin it at Sam Boyd to watch our homies dem Sun Devils kick the blue off dat Boise Smurfs crew!"

Moron, as in double-butted tubing, as in 'more on the ends'.
I was thinking about 'awesome', but then decided against because it's so awesome.

Has anyone nominated "Forum phrases and terms that should just stop being used" yet? Who the hell are you to tell me what I can say on a forum?

Ed- It would be interesting to look at all 20,000 combined posts (you and Doohickie) to see what terms and phrases turned up the most.

How do you think I got to 10,000 posts? Quantity, not quality, my good man.
