saying 'war someone'

[VAfan]

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.

Pretty sure it's a sexual term meaning "wet and ready".

WAR Meisha Tate!

I think its a japanese custom that got translated to english during the pride golden era

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

When you root for war machine and say war war machine, it makes you sound like a stuttering idiot

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.

 

[reveler]

it came from pride, engrish stuff.

Auburn's "WAR Eagle." Appropriated by MMA fans.

I don't know but I can remember someone posting 'WAR TITO ORTIZ' here in the mid 2000s and everyone was like 'wtf do you mean war that sounds dumb'
(it was more common on the UG than Sherdog at that time)

Then a few years later it became a normal way for everyone to express support. Many such cases!

it's kind of like telling you to get into a helicopter.

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 loved using warlovski cause two thirds of the word was already in his name.

Unfortunately Arlovski's washed up
