Where does the word 'freeper' come from...
...and what exactly does it mean? I'm new here, and want to make sure I'm using it properly.

5. Free Republic not Freer E-Public as in "a more free electronic public"
Ironically, I learned about DU via Free Republic... I was an active subversive there (a troll) and when they kept accusing me of being from DU I realized it must be a place I should be. So one time I innocently asked what "is DU?" and they told me "democraticunderground.com" and I haven't looked back since... well, :evilgrin: once and a while for old times sake.... just to mess with the nut jobs heads... but shhhhhhh.....
