the post has been on /links before, usually many, many times.
I could explain the true origins, but you would quickly lose interest.

'GC' is still one of the most cliquey, oblique and confusing memes on b3ta. I reckon it's worth an explanation every now and then.

I had deduced that it was in relation to re-post etc. But 'Glasscock' (?) Just another reason to love it here...
B3TA rocks! - GC, ;-)

can somebody explain RIS? My phone at work has a bright red RIS button and I half expected to dial though to b3ta towers when I pressed it. Sadly nothing happened :(

With the letters RIS not illuminated, and everyone who didn't get it went RIS?

I understand, but am very bored and irritated by, "teh", "fluffeh", and things of that ilk. I would like that to die off.

Glass Cock. Basicly there's this none photoshopped image floating around the internet of a femal golfer kissing a glass trophy she has just won, due to the trophy's shape and angle of the picture it looks like a giant glass dildo.
This became a highly spammed image o nthe links board and soon Glass COck (or GC) became a quick way of saying "that;s already been posted ya noob" but it doesn;t end there...
Links do get repeated on here no matter how hard you try to avoid it. From different urls to different descirptions. Yes we have a search ability that helps us avoid alot of GC's but they still happen.
People have been known to sit on the links board and spam GC the second someone posts one which has given peopel that notice GC's a bit of a bad name.
I say there's nothing wrong with a good old GC that hasn;t been on for a while but posting a link that;s on the popular page or just a little further down the page isn't the most appreciated thing in the world.
Just check before you post and feel free to repost if it's old enough.
(God I'm bored to make a big post like this)
