I have no idea where it originated... my guess is Reddit. (Do you know, @sunny:? I am curious now!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-1-mean-exactly#post-1683338 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 20:38:29 +0000 wonderstruck 1683338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People used +1 on Weddingbee all the time to indicate they agreed with someone. Basically just like 'ditto' or 'this exactly' or whatever. I just assumed people on HB knew what it meant since it was so common on WB. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-1-mean-exactly#post-1683327 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 20:36:20 +0000 Synchronicity 1683327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There are about a thousand abbreviations used around here, what's one more? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-1-mean-exactly#post-1683320 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 20:34:14 +0000 sunny 1683320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: +1 predates google by a million years! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-1-mean-exactly#post-1683316 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 20:33:45 +0000 BSB 1683316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Nskillet: I don't mind abbrevations and when others use it. </p> <p>Come on, we have abbrevations like DH, BFP, DTD, etc. [Insert HB abbrevations link here]</p> <p>If you are TTC for a long time, it a pain in the ass to write out 'trying to conceive.' </p> <p>I don't mind abbrevations. I don't, personally, use +1 or This. (I lied, I think I used 'this' at least once in my life but haven't used it since last year.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-1-mean-exactly#post-1683296 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 20:28:21 +0000 BSB 1683296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. </p> <p>Related... I've seen people respond with 'This'. </p> <p>I think I actually had to google what 'This' meant a long time ago. </p> <p><a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=This" rel="nofollow">http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=This</a></p> <p>One-word response placed after a quote on a message board as an affirmation of the author's agreement with the quoted person's view or opinion.

I don't actually remember seeing it here as much as I have other places, but maybe I'm just desensitized to it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-1-mean-exactly#post-1682927 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 19:18:51 +0000 Radish 1682927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My assumption is the origins came from 2nd-ing or 3rd-ing something when a lot of people comment or whatever at the same time, so yes it means agreeing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-1-mean-exactly#post-1682926 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 19:18:46 +0000 mediagirl 1682926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: hahaha!

I don't understand it. Are you agreeing with someone on what they said? Is this the new way of saying I agree with you? </p>
