We don't pay any attention too Limpy either, Wurm. ;)



HERF - CHRONOLOGY:

As for the origin of Herf, here's the History of Herf (it's a matter of record on DejaNews)... The word "herf" first appeared on ASC... -------- [post quoted below] ---------------------------------- It was November 21, 1996... the elections were over, and "herf" unceremoniously beams into our lexicon... And, you were there (here's the exact post)... ****************************************************** Subject: worst cigars IMHO From: aloysius@gte.net (Prince of Skeeves) 1996/11/21 Message-ID: <571i9b$ht4@news3.gte.net> Newsgroups: alt.smokers.cigars

I bought a Canaria d'Oro(sic?)Robusto out of curiousity and it was really a horrible, stale,grassy smoke with a peed-on taste. I gave it about 2 inches before I put it out. Also, anything Macanudo...I tried several when I first began smoking cigars and found them all to be very bland and almost impossible to herf, they were so tightly wrapped. I think the list of `Mediocre Smokes' for most folks would be huge.

******************************************************

And, the voices of ASCers cry out immediately... saying, "what is this _herf_ thing?" In answer... on November 23, Prince of Skeeves elucidates,

Message-ID: <5770op$cqu@news1.gte.net>: To `herf' is to draw on a cigar.

The voices of ASC follow in chorus: "this herf thing... it is good" And, in a grand gesture, full grace is shared...

Subject: an early definition of the word... From: aloysius@gte.net (Prince of Skeeves) 1997/07/11 Message-ID: <5q5f19$dfa$1@news12.gte.net> Newsgroups: alt.smokers.cigars

EVERYONE MUST HERF

The first time I heard the word `herf' and recognized it's potential for the enrichment of my vocabulary was in junior college in Clyde, Texas in 1982 from a blueblood derelict friend of my named Stu. In the context of the time it was used to describe the ungainly and humorous facial contortion required to deeply draw on a large, hand-rolled cigarette of unknown filling while driving a motor vehicle and keeping an eye peeled for the Callahan County sheriff. Later I found the term `herf' described nicely the method for getting a good mouthful of tasty smoke from my favorite cigars.(Padron and HDM Rothschilds)

S. delaVega Prince of Skeeves

-------- [end quoted post] ----------------------------------

So, that's the herf story... on 11/21/96 "Prince of Skeeves" (whoever he/she/it is/was) introduced our newsgroup to its very own beloved word... And, as a bonus...

HERF LEVITY:

Herf... a word which is now spreading to virtually all corners of the cigar world... thanks to the likes of the many and varied distinguished herfing enthusiasts (herfnicks)... such as:

the good Dr. Miguelit (used on his many national radio interviews), Mr. Lew Rothman (used proudly and prominently on JR's Winter catalog issue's front cover), ASC elder Mr. Bob Curtis (used liberally all over the ICG website), the Hon. Steven Saka (used strategically at least four times in the course of the 1997 New Hampshire state senatorial debate and once as an invective following the debate's broadcast, which, btw, was televised on CSPAN-3 to over a half-billion viewers worldwide, including the space shuttle mission crew), Connie Whittager, perky weatherwoman on Montgomery, Alabama's WKKG-TV (used to describe the fog which paralyzed suburban roadways for two straight days in April 1997... in an interview on the Weather Channel, she explained, "...motorists were advised to avoid the western beltway and all lakeside arteries due to a stationary fog bank thicker than a hundred hounddogs herfin' Hondurans in a hayloft", and by Jorge Jesus Delgado, Jr., now departed, (who ardently pleaded to "herf a cigar" before his execution in the Texas death-house in October 1997)... ...just to mention a few of the notables! PS: Remember... November 21 is World Herfing Day!!! Sorry you asked, huh? Regards, ...JC

So there you have it, and now you know the meaning of 'herf'!

don't ya just hate when smart ARSED answers come from the ones who are least likely to be able to respond. Although I am a firm beliver of " teach a man to fish" you could have suggested it in a not so misleading way.:p
 
Herf As my research shows:

I saw this while on the hunt-

HERF - EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The un-official word of ASC is Herf. Herf is a unique part of speech. It can be correctly used as a noun, a verb, an adjective, an adverb, an infinitive, a prefix, a suffix and an explicative.

con't on link :Hope this helps :)
 
More and more people see what an a$$hat limpy really is....

The funny thing about limpy though....is he comes off to the new guys like he's a world class guy, when in reality...he's just another squirrel looking for a nut! :laugh:

Keep trying tiny, you'll never "get it" ;)
 
ROFLMAO...... I just looked up dingleberry on dictionary.com. :D

I only knew the 2nd definition but after reading that I now change my vote to ....yes, appropriate! ;) :)

That was a pretty lame response Lumpy. That's not in CP tradition on how to make a newbie feel welcome.

I'm sorry you feel that way.

It's true, you really don't "get it". You make a low class post, followed up by even a lower class response.

I'm sorry you don't "get it".
 
No need to lynch Lumberg on my account, he was right I should have used search, and he was one of the first people here to PM me with the answer to one of my other questions.

Yep...dingleberry...that's a good description of him...considering all the grief my run in with him caused me...if you're gonna take the time to answer someone, Lumpy, especially someone new, then point them at something useful, rather than just the search page, or don't bother at all...instead of showing me what I did wrong you just hassled me about it, when you could have provided a lesson I could have learned from and saved a lot of trouble...at least if I know an answer to something and I take the time to answer, the person gets a straight answer from me or a link to the answer, and not nonsense...you seem to have an over-inflated sense of your own importance here, and I can tell you, it is in error...quite frankly, I hold in higher regard, all the guys that chewed up my butt when I did some things wrong as I hope and trust I learned from it...if you're gonna answer someone then give them a decent answer, dammit, and not the smart-assed answer you gave Wurm...
