"moar boosters"

[SpacedCowboy]

Ok, I've been around this forum for a while but, what is the origination of that phrase? I always think I'll stumble over the explanation eventually somewhere but it hasn't happened. And what's up with the obvious misspelling? Is the MOAR an acronym for something?

It's an internet thing, moar instead of more. It happens across all sorts of memes.

It started off as simple advice on how to achieve orbit.

It became a way of life.

Think of it like this: people who think more (moar) boosters are the answer probably have difficulty with spelling.

... and not because English isn't their first language.

Think of it like this: people who use it in these forums (usually) know that.

... so it's irony - they could spell it properly but use the incorrect form to indicate that it's incorrect advice.

But fun.

Origin of the phrase? No idea. You could conceivable trawl through the oldest posts on the forum, looking for the first usage of it, but... well, it'd take a while, that's for sure xD

First use of "moar" on the forums, also the first use of "moar boosters".

It could be as simple as the innate connotation the spelling difference has. Academically, "more" and "moar" sound the same, but with emphasis on the A, it makes the sound slightly primal. "More boosters" is a request; "Moar boosters!" is a battlecry.

Thanks for the enlightenment, have not been around the net much, now I feel like a real MOARON

I get the more and moar part of it, I just thought there was something moar to it!

[SpacedCowboy]

Wow really,? We're going way back with the time machine, Sherman. So the phrase was originated by a guy called "Lawn Dart"?! Lawn Dart Please report now!

[SpacedCowboy]

Ok, I get it, I just thought there was something deeper going on there. Now I feel like a real moaron.
