I think it was Drew who first used the term 'boothling.'

Thanks, Peggy! However, I cannot claim authorship of this
word. Some other clever poster coined the noun and posted it
on the board; I just adopted it. > > ~Babe~ > ====================================================== > --- In vpFREE@yahoogroups.com, peggy3cats@... wrote:

No doubt, this post is gonna classify me as a "geek", but I enjoy
trying to "find things out".

Using the 'advanced' feature, I did a search of the archives for the
word "boothling" in the text portion of messages. There are 365
messages in which the word is used. The first time, apparently, that
it appeared in a message on vpFREE was in Bill Coleman's message #8696
on October 27, 2002.

Okay, I'll stop after this one - I found the word first used in a
message on acvpp as far back as February, 10, 2002. I suspect it's
origins go back much further. Anyone out there have a copy (or access
to the on-line edition) of the O.E.D. (Oxford English Dictionary)?

If you're a "geek", so am I! I'm sorry I was not as resourceful as
you were when you looked it up in the archives.

Here's a cheer for Bill C. for coining an expressive word that many
of us have used on occasion.
