Enjoy. After I first began using the term on the old IMDb, Arlon10 asked if it would be all right if he used it too. And I said to him please do use it. I want it to be used. I meant for it to be used. Even Cash used it recently, and perhaps now he is realizing just how badly it backfired on him. This blind faith in what passes for science now isn't just limited to climate change. It can be about abortion, evolution, and any number of issues. Maybe it will take off like "Priming the pump". Trump coined that term and it became so popular that people started using it before he was born. Oh, so that's why I'm hearing "priming the pump" lately. Well, at the least, Trump popularized it, like George Bush popularized "Not on my watch."

I forgive you. And the video too, since the idea of 'Planet X' has long been debunked. Have a nice day yourself, my friend.
Any luck in showing that purported god you believe in yet?
Really??? I thought (and to be fair I have not looked at it for a while) that the existence of a planet orbiting outside pluto's orbit was a pretty much foregone conclusion given the variance on pluto? Has something 'new' (like in the past decade) come up? By my comments I meant that 'Planet 'X', as originally defined, viz:
"Nancy Lieder (a Wisconsin woman who claimed that, as a girl she was contacted by gray extraterrestrials called Zetas, asserted that the Hale–Bopp comet was manufactured to distract people from the imminent arrival of a large planetary object, "Planet X", which would soon pass by Earth and destroy civilization) drew the name Planet X from the hypothetical planet once searched for by astronomers to account for discrepancies in the orbits of Uranus and Neptune. In 1894, Bostonian astronomer Percival Lowell became convinced that the planets Uranus and Neptune had slight discrepancies in their orbits. He concluded that they were being tugged by the gravity of another, more distant planet, which he called "Planet X". However, nearly a century of searching failed to turn up any evidence for such an object (Pluto was initially believed to be Planet X, but was later determined to be too small). In 1992, astronomer Myles Standish showed that the supposed discrepancies in the planets' orbits were illusory, the product of overestimating the mass of Neptune." [Wiki]
Of course it is still possible to call any new body discovered, or proposed, 'Planet X'. But I think Erjen has something more specific in mind, related to past speculations and conspiracies rather than new discoveries.

Thanks for that, guessing I never looked at it again after I finished school

Sorry to disappoint you, but if it aggravates the ungodly, I'm going to do it. On your second point I am more in agreement. People who accept elementary school science are "ungodly"? Concepts third graders can actually demonstrate in their back yards are dangerous gangster science, indeed. WHO'S TO SAY WHAT IS RIGHT, LOWTACK!?

Wow! You just coined the phrase "check it out"! ^Just invented the word Wow followed by an exclamation point. That's fucking brilliant.

I coined terms.
I thought up cutesy gremlin-like monsters called "Creesobacks".
I had thought of two different subspecies, Spotted Creesobacks, who are just covered in green spots, and Limpet Creesobacks who hug people, but annoyingly, would not let go.

I'd love to see it. I truly would love to know that someone coined it before I did. It would relieve me of the burden.

If that were so you'd have already researched the usage. Come on, dude, you've built an escapist kingdom on asking for "proof" over and over then speaking past it entirely when others do your homework. Look it up or not. Not my job. Edit: Like Puvo. He just did the work for you, and it won't make a lick of difference. A serial occurrence.

In any case he has done great works to make at least some dent on demonic agenda of many progressive swines.

Another phrase coined! You're on a roll! Sorry, man. It's not really polite to guffaw at it. It's just the combo of the "I'm Awakened!" thing, the "shaking people out of their stupor" label on posting Youtube videos, the "I've divested myself of ego!" along with "Hey, I coined this (decades old) term!"... the rich tapestry of humility and heroism you've created surrounding your time spent arguing on the internet is amazing. Reminds me of the fairy tale scenes in "Heavenly Creatures".
