simonjedi Posted November 14, 2007 I've noticed some posts here have things like hunt for 2008 sets on and things like that what does (whatever) on! mean? who started using it e.c.t Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Starwars4J Posted November 14, 2007 It means what it says, the hunt is on :-P Basically it means "it has begun". It originated from lego's slogan "Play on!", but became popularized here on EB, I believe, when our admin *yoda* used ON! regularly in his posts in that manner. From Lego.com: From "Just Imagine ..." to "Play on ..."With effect from January 2003 the LEGO Company's new slogan will be "Play on ...". The new slogan has its roots in several years' efforts to approach the core of the Company's personality. A core which has now been crystallised into five values Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SlyOwl Posted December 6, 2007 Hmm...I was under the impression "on" was just a typical nerdy expression - I've used it before, in actual speech, not *yoda* "Away put your weapon, I mean you no ham!" Pirate King Skelly Killer SlyOwl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
