A little while ago, Statisikhengst called me a sock. He was apparently too busy insulting me to do me the courtesy of defining it.

Will somebody please tell me what the heck it means to be called a "sock" here?
 
Sock means you actually have another account on here.

I have no idea why people accuse new people of this all the time. Who cares?
 
what bonzi said is accurate but really it's essentially a meaningless term used to derail a thread when the one who calls you that is losing the argument.
sort of how they use "racist" when they are losing a debate and need a handy distraction..

Thanks. I just wanted to know what it meant. I was able to figure out what some other nomenclature means through repetition, but sock was a new one on me.

Stats is a Jake Starkey sock account, or maybe it's the other way around
..and whatever happened to that david guy?..the "college student"?
I think he was one of their sock accounts, too..

That was indeed the context it was used in.

I'm not saying that bodecea is a mal sock, but I'm not denying it either

Like Rota said above, they are trying to "ruin" your credibility... make people wonder about you..........

not a bit surprised...they're predictable..they all use the same playbook...
 
So are all those clowns a single sock gang?!

They use a lot of them...

Apparently they're afraid they might look lonely if people figure out there aren't large numbers of people with single-digit
IQs on the message board.

I had never heard the term either when I got here. Maybe it's a USMB thing. :dunno:

It's kinda weird how they give you the rules against socks but don't essplain what they're talking about.
 
I guess if you really ARE a sock, you will know what they are talking about and, thus, tell on yourself... maybe it's a trap....

Not necessarily. They're a Cult of mindless zombies.

Their Leader, we believe it's Stats, assigned them each a clown avatar and they're not allowed to change it until the next Republican drops from the race and then Stats hands one lucky winner a new upside down red X clown avatar. By the time we have a candidate, the Clowns will all be upside down red x also-rans.

Some fun, eh kids?

Ask Bodecca, or Hazlnut, or Paperview, or Zona, or Candycorn or Howie
