Sage
From Bibliotheca Anonoma
Definition[edit]
Sage (pronounced "sah‑geh") is an imageboard command that prevents an individual reply from bumping a thread to the top of the catalog. It is entered in the e‑mail field (or "options" field, depending on the software) when posting.
Usage[edit]
- Express disagreement or disinterest while still replying.
- Add supplementary information without promoting the thread.
- Participate in a thread that has reached the Bump limit.
Etymology[edit]
Derived from the Japanese word 下げる (sageru), meaning "to lower." The term was adopted from Japanese boards such as 2channel and Futaba Channel.
Variations[edit]
- noko sage – Combines noko (return to thread after posting) with sage.
- sage sage – Redundant usage, often humorous.
