RIPD
Have noticed
that nerds and geeks use RIPD instead of RIP when talking about
people dying. Even I have to watch using it when I talk about the
recently departed folks. I love that people use this term despite
the fact it comes from a shitty movie called R.I.P.D. We Hate Movies
uses this term to honor people that pass away instead of RIP. And, I
started using it too. I then heard another podcast use it.
The term is
based on a comic book and the movie stars Ryan Reynolds. (Reynolds
has tried for years getting a comic book franchise going.) I remember watching this movie and shaking my head on how bad it was. And, it seems to be a direct ripoff of MIB.
I guess this is
that shitty movie's only lasting legacy. Even
Jeff Bridges has distanced himself from the movie.
