Would someone please explain to me the etymology of the term "dub" as used in this forum? I've searched here and elsewhere online (albeit not exhaustively) and cannot find anything enlightening.
(By the way, if it's something really obvious, I am infamous among those who know me for missing the obvious at times, so this is not a joke or anything other than a straightforward question.)
jehovah's (W)itness = W = double u = dub
"W"itness starts with a "Dubya"
"J-Dub" Voila.
I started using it extensively about 11 or 12 years ago as a term of derision, including variants like "little dubbies" and "dubettes."
Since I was always yakking, it sorta stuck. Kinda like a bad virus. Or cancer. Or an elder who's out to get you.

Now CH, when we type soooo much, and soooo often want to refer the the Jehovah's Witnesses, Dubs or XDubs is so much easier
it annoys me!

AWEEEEEEEEOOOOW! Best turn that old sensititivityttityvity down darling...
Make no mistake about it. I made "dubs" a popular name and NOT a proper noun.
That's about the only fun thing I ever did.
Farkel, dub CLASS
