Alpinfox Posted June 16, 2003 Posted June 16, 2003 So I don't know what "plab" means. I searched for "plab" on google, and here and some of my hits. Fun stuff: Pole Lorrain De L'Ameublement Bois (P.L.A.B.) center of advice and service for the Lorraine furniture industry Professional & Linguistic Assessments Board Test (PLAB) PLab - short for Parallel Matlab Hello, I am plab. My real name is Patrick Labelle. I have a PhD from Cornell University which was followed by a two years postdoc at McGill University. Since 96 I have been teaching physics in a small college. I really want to learn superstring theory and hopefully get to a point where I could do research related to string theory/M theory. In a few years I will take a two years leave of absence and go do research somewhere. Quote
Kiwi Posted June 16, 2003 Posted June 16, 2003 I dunno. These climbers speak a different language. Beta? Spray? TR? Quote
catbirdseat Posted June 16, 2003 Posted June 16, 2003 I think it means "good" more or less. I think it is from an obscure Oregon climbers dialect, spoken primarily by gapertimmy and a few others. Quote
Fejas Posted June 16, 2003 Posted June 16, 2003 iain said: what is this, revenge of the nerds? Iain is definately plab... Quote
Dwayner Posted June 16, 2003 Posted June 16, 2003 You people are so UN-HIP!!! I learned the concept of PLAB from one of its greatest proponents: Gaper Timmy. PLAB = Playboy and the suave lifestyle that accompanies such a grand notion. - His Plabness, Dwayner Quote
EWolfe Posted June 17, 2003 Posted June 17, 2003 I can't resist, although I plabably won't say what you thought I would... Quote
JoshK Posted June 17, 2003 Posted June 17, 2003 plab was some shit the seattle prep tools around here said during high school. I have no fucking clue how it ended up on cc.com or in the climbing community at all. Quote
