Default Abreviations - What do they mean?

Many times I have seen some one make a statement and then at the end of the statement the type e5.

What does e5 mean?

Here's a hint (without going to the actual site)

Quote:

Brian Burke at the NHL Entry-Draft (from Down goes Brown)
http://www.downgoesbrown.com/2009/06...nhl-draft.html

(Back hallway. Burke is talking to Dave Shoalts of the Globe and Mail, as well as a second reporter wearing a floppy hat, backwards press pass, and lucha libre-style wrestling mask.)

Shoalts: Wait, just so I'm clear, are these real conversations? Or is this some sort of parody joke thing? I'm still having a lot of trouble with this internet stuff.

Burke: You're both idiots.

Mystery reporter: Is that an e5?

Burke: (Shakes head, storms off.)

Mystery reporter: Burkie?

Locked? Why? What is an e3? To me, in my profession, e3 means thousand...


as in e3m3/d (thousand cubic meters per day)

It's like the defcon scale. e stands for ejaculatory, and the number denotes how excited you are.

e3 Stands for Eklund 3 which is a 3/5 on Eklund's possibility scale. A 5 being that the trade is for certain (never happens) and a 1 is the least probably. Technically there is no difference between a 1 and a 5 because Eklund is... well for lack of a better word, is a ######.

It's the Eklund rumour ranking scale!!!

E1 - This is a rumor that comes from a single reliable source not in any way directly connected to the players or teams involved.

E2 - This rumor is simply more than one reliable sources not in any way directly connected to the players or teams involved and not connected to each other. It does not have to equate to two E1’s. It could be several E1’s.

E3 - This rumor comes from a single source with ties somehow to the players or teams involved.

E4 - This rumor comes from more than one source with ties to the players or teams involved.

E5 - This rumor comes from source telling Eklund the deal is 100% done and just has not been announced yet. There has never been an E5 that has not indeed transpired.

Aw man, you were so innocent before asking. Now you are tarnished with Eklund info.

You ejaculated 7 times while writing your post? Wow. Doesn't take much to get you off does it?
