# It's now a standard reply
to anything that doesn't make a lot of sense.

It's derived from an image of Morrisons with the words RIS missing from the neon logo - to spell out MOR--ONS

# Oh right.
A bit like hatstand but different. Thank you.

# Yes like 'hatstand'
but more a meaning of WTF? rather than Strangely Amusing.

# People use it if they don't understand something usually.

# Good question
I've always just accepted 'hatstand', the meaning sort of seems obvious. But now that you mention it...

4ther isn't very helpful. Does anyone know where this came from? Is it only a b3ta thing?

# As above
it comes from a 'Viz' cartoon of the 90's. 'Terry Fuckwit, he's completely hatstand'.
