I'm guilty "first mention" this time and I'm unrepentant. I said I was not going to be at SHARE and asked someone to snub people for me. Translation: "I wish I were attending but I'm not. Greet people for me." Being a very strong SHARE advocate / bigot, I (and many others) happily took the term "snub" as a name for typical interactions at SHARE (which are very far removed from a snub). An in-joke that is not very "in" and not much of a joke but pretty innocuous as far as I'm concerned, and significant enough to be added to the Devil's IT Dictionary as mentioned in this thread.
