And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
That's frustrating. Didn't we ask them to stop?

I've seen links to that post in about 6 different large BTVS forums.

I think we need to add "Doblerize" to the FAQ.
My proposed version (hack at will):
In Say Anything, the hero, Lloyd Dobler, confronts a friend who is drunk and being difficult. Dobler gets in his face and shouts "You. Must. Chill!" So to Doblerize is to tell somebody (possibly yourself) to calm down and step away from the ugly bag.
Brain: sieve. What's a sieve again?
[edited to add movie title]

Nobody
Say Anything is the title.

The movie is Say Anything.
A sieve is one of those things that stuff falls through.

Failing to Doblerize makes Joe lie. And cry.
Sorry. Been looking at too many meta-fandom icons.
backs away slowly
ETA: I think it should go in the FAQ as well. See? Post not totally useless. :)

I think we need to add "Doblerize" to the FAQ.
I think so too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
FAQ! FAQ! FAQ!
