Ah, that's a thread I rarely visit so I shall have to take you at your word that there is humor there.  There sure isn't much around the other parts of the forum--part of that is because many people around here don't know how to write, and part of it is that this forum is a huge melting pot of cultures from all over the world, and standards of humor can vary widely.

Thank you for being on my side as far as that word goes.  And you know, I always use it in my everyday life to be polite and show respect to people.  But here?  It's invariably used to smooch up to DT members, campaign managers, and anyone else these suck-asses think has some sort of authority, usually when the smoocher has done something wrong or wants something for themselves.

Yep.  But that requires a person to put some thought and effort into writing their post, and we all know most members of bitcointalk put as little thinking into what they write as humanly possible.  It's hard to write something funny or thoughtful when you've got 60 alt accounts that need to crank out their maximum number of posts for their bounties.  Ya know?
