Since this and other references seem to be directed at me or other sages here i suggest stop feeding the troll....

[Helpmeh]

Helpmeh, the rank Sage is not being presented as a verb, but a noun, an indicator of one's status.

Did I say that the RANK Sage was being used as a verb?

I don't think we have a drill long enough to get through your skull.

[Aegis]

The drill's not necessary.  It's just someone's attempt to be clever by superimposing the definition of a Japanese word for an English word.  Many such examples exist, I'm sure.

SAGE!!!! (Used as an insult, yelled at someone who recently failed)
 

This thread is making me think of that song "Scarborough Fair" by Simon and Garfunkel. Am I the only one?

[Aegis]

Yeah, but "parsley, sa-ge, rosemary, and thyme" just doesn't have the same ring...

2.    sage
   
A word originating from the popular Japanese forum website 2chan. Sage (pronounced "sah-geh") - from the Japanese word "sageru", refers to replying to a post using the word "sage" in the email field in order to increase the number of replies without age-ing (or bumping) the post. This can be used as a courtesy, allowing one to quietly add comments that may not be interesting enough to warrant pushing the thread to the top. It can also be used as a way to show displeasure with the post being replied to.
"Sage" is typed in the e-mail field!

I think the word "Sage" and its meanings were around long before the internet was ever created.
