SAGE this piece of shit

A word originating from the popular Japanese forum website 2chan. Sage (pronounced "sah-geh") - from the Japanese word "sageru", refers to replying to a post using the word "sage" in the email field in order to increase the number of replies without age-ing (or bumping) the post. This can be used as a courtesy, allowing one to quietly add comments that may not be interesting enough to warrant pushing the thread to the top. It can also be used as a way to show displeasure with the post being replied to.

Within the context of text and image forums, "sage" or "saging" is the act of adding commentary that will not renew a thread's position within the forum. This is done for one of two reasons: -As a generosity to other posters - a long living but moot thread is not of aid to anyone, and this acts as a discrete manner to add complementary information. -Exclusively as a harsh statement of reprisal - feeling that the content is inappropriate or that the manner of the poster is unsuitable. Within the context of herbs, sage is a spice that most agree goes well with fish, chicken, and other white meats. Within the context of titles, a sage is a person of great wisdom and mental clarity. It is also a latin name, female in gender, meaning wisdom.

internet posting: I am saging this thread on principle. "sage" (yes, it is a statment that can stand alone.) "SAGE" "You fail! SAGE!" Herb: I feel that sage would be a good flavor to add to fish. Title: If you seek answers, go to the village sage. "That person is very wise." "Truly a sage."

An antiquated word meaning a man of deep mind or wisdom, carrying the capacity to give advisement within more typically the management of life or spiritual and self-realizing matters.
