we just learned about ancient Rome in my history class. Everytime the professor would talk about the plebians and patricians, I would think about this place

Pleb my dad says that all the time

yeah my mum says it too. She used to call me a pleb if I burped or something. I went through a phase of using it as an insult a few years back.

when I first joined here I thought that the whole PLEBA thing was called that because of plebs. I wondered why people would choose to call themselves it....

but then I realised the true meaning, and it all made sense
