Talk:BU

This just might be the single dumbest acronym I've ever seen. Ever, in any context. Quizzical 20:49, September 3, 2009 (UTC)

 * It stands for "backup" as in, a backup celerity in case your speed run takes too long and the first one runs out. I had to ask someone else what it meant when I first saw it, too :P --Macros 22:22, September 3, 2009 (UTC)


 * It would make a lot more sense if BU actually stood for something in another language. It would make a lot more sense if BU were the acronym for something vaguely related to Essences of Celerity; if you had asked me what item was commonly referred to as a "backup" six months ago, my best guess would probably have been the down arrow (or equivalently, the S key).  It would even make more sense if Essence of Celerity actually had either a B or a U in the name.  But it doesn't.  My guess is that the name started as a joke or a prank.  Either that or whoever started this abomination of an acronym is completely illiterate and can't read the name "Essence of Celerity" so he started calling it a "backup" (on Vent, since he can't type if he's illiterate).

 * Supposedly, it's widely used among the speed farming community. Since it is a strange and counter-intuitive term, a lot of people will probably be looking it up. I say either leave the redirect, or move the note that's already on the Essence of Celerity page to a glossary article. --Macros 05:17, September 4, 2009 (UTC)
