Who started "spanky"?

That's so far back in the annals of RHP lore that I don't remember who first said it, but it has been around as long as I can remember. It did take off quickly and was copied by many right off the bat, though. It was already RHP history when I got here.
You go back a long way Suzie Q, the site didn't start that long before you got here.

So the word couldn't have been around that long before you arrived.

You would have known most of the posters back then, so if you don't know perhaps someone who started at the very beginning would know. We must have someone who was here from the very beginning.

Of course we do Russ!!! πŸ˜‰

It would be nice to know who actually started it rather than start a guessing game.

Why would you want to guess when you weren't around or were you were you here before Suzie Q?

Why not ask someone who was here from the very beginning, there was more than Russ there was a small group of people here from the very start. I don't want to play along as you put it.

There were people here neither you or I would even know, unless of course you were here at the beginning and if you were then you should already know.

Are you saying sir that I am lying about starting 'Spanky' in 1863?

On what basis?

The absurdity of that statement doesn't deserve an answer goad.

Everyone started using the term around the same time. I'm telling you that the phrase took off like wildfire. Pinpointing the exact inventor of the term is nigh on impossible.

The impossible happens from time to time. Perhaps someone who hasn't read this yet and was around will know the Poster who started it. I know by the time I got here in 2006 it was used by a lot of people as you said, and didn't sound like it was meant in a nice way at least to me.

About the only two people I know who might know are @Phlabibit or @Darvlay

We ran in slightly different circles in those days

Two people I also had in mind but isn't Phlabs from the U.S., and I thought Darvlay had said he was from Canada? I think Darvlay still comes on from time to time doesn't he?
