Latest comment: 9 years ago by Shanen in topic Joke genre should get more coverage

Why is this page at NO CARRIER (modem) rather than just NO CARRIER? There doesn't seem to be any other article to disambiguate... 01:29, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Slang

[edit]

It's also used, particularly on Fark, to signify that someone is suddenly being censored. I.E. their connection is suddenly severed by the powers that be. Superm401 - Talk 09:09, 11 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Joke genre should get more coverage

Yip, yip, yip, yip, yip *BANG*

NO TERRIER
