May cool down at any second. The scammers were scared off.

Discussion as to weather the proliferation of Amazon and Walmart deals is killing the forums, and chasing older members away.

When a popcorn thread first heats up, it should be placed under the "Fresh" heading. When it slows down but still sees action from time to time, it should be moved to "Still Popping." When it becomes an outright relic, it should be moved to "Classics." Obviously, if things get "lebedig" again, it can be upgraded again.

"Sizzling Popcorn" - these types of popcorn threads will probably be deleted with in minutes, so you better hurry and read them fast!

The real question is, just because something originated from a particular source, does that mean we still hold of it as we did when it originated? I'd say a large percentage of the people using the phrase know nothing of its origin.

I hear that point but I'd think that only applies to actually knocking on wood vs just saying a pop culture term.

How about something rooted in superstition? Is that permitted, if if not explicitly AZ?

It roots back to so many different supserstions and I don't think people refer to a specific superstition when mentioning it. It's just a pop culture term that translates into "I don't want this to happen".

I am not making a judgment call. Just raising awareness. Ask your LOR.

True, but that would make the expression to be in bad taste.

Possibly, but being detached from its roots for long enough, may make it a non issue halachicly, if it ever even was. I'm not saying that with a basis just speculation.
