and to think the thread hadn't taken any serious wrong turns yet.

 

[humdizzle]

but does the 'war' actually mean anything? besides the usual meaning (of the word)? still a bit confused, like is it 'we're going to war' or 'we want a war' or 'this guy's a one-man war' or what exactly? we need an auburn fan in the thread.

I like using it. It probably was just something random someone said on the Underground. It’s like calling someone based.

You are on their war wagon

It came from Pride

"War (Insert fighter name here)" I've always taken to mean something along the lines of "Let's go (Insert fighter name here)"

Just a different way to show support for your favorite fighter/team/contest/person/ect.

I heard it on Jim Rome in the early 2000s. The original was War Eagle.

It started at Auburn University. They use it tor their sports teams.

That's right.

so here's a question i've been meaning to ask here, and here i am asking it:

when you say 'war (fighter name)', where did that originally come from? is 'war' an acronym for something? where was it first used?

i've been living in ignorance for too long, please relieve me of it.

I thought it was an Acronym for Will Always Respect
