Meme: Getting Eliah'd
Originator: FEichinger (??)
Background: Eliah Kagan is known (and loved) for posting long and well researched answers on both main and meta. His answers are so long and well researched that you don't bother disagreeing with Eliah, you just admit he has you beat. If you are writing an answer when Eliah posts one, there's no point. He will have covered everything you were going to say. (all of this in the best way possible)
Examples:
Variants:
- I almost don't bother to answer a meta question because I know Eliah's answer will come and it's gonna be way better than mine. I feel people accept my answer out of sympathy XD
- I like to think we could all just abandon meta and have Eliah answer everything. Would have the same effect.
- That was the point at which I started telling myself "Eliah posted. Just stop. You can't win this one."
- Yay, an Eliah answer.
- With all due respect, you have not applied this line of thought elsewhere. You've answered non-Ubuntu-specific questions here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here, just for starters. - Eliah Kagan
- Thanks. I channeled my inner Eliah there a bit.
