Turbob?

[MottZilla]

Where did this Turbob term come from and what is it supposed to mean? Just curious.

[Vecanti]

I don't know.  I think we should add another o and start saying Turboob.

I think its short for turbo obey. some of the old timers can clarify this.

It's short for Turbobobobo

When I was new to the forum (really not very long ago) and I first came across the term "turbob" I thought to myself "What strange vernacular, I wonder what it means." and proceeded to read through old threads until it was grokked.  I'm honestly flabbergasted at the number of new members that post "What does turbob mean" or "What does obey mean" or any of the other myriad questions that new folks ask without doing seemingly ANY research into this community.

Always fun when a "tatsism" confuses people.....may I offer you a 500grz hangburger, and a magic pepplered ice cream?

Actually I'm not a new member. It wasn't until last night that I actually paid much attention to "Turbob", so I googled it and found nothing so I figured I'd just ask. My favorite response was that was the name of the Kid on the TurboGrafx 16 box.

Personally I think the term's a bit gay, so I never use it.  Also I think that the turbo looks like ass, and is an insult to the superior design aesthetics of the PC Engine.

Gay as in happy then yes!  Everyone is happy when playing turbob!  So f*cking obey and enjoy it! O:)

I never use it, myself, because it is goofy.

Yes, it's true I do a lot of things that may be considered, by others, to be "goofy" (or worse).

But the term in question is too goofy for me.

That said, I'm not going to prevent others from enjoying the blessed thing.
