OUR BOYCOTT WORKED, THE BBC CHAT IS CLOSING!!!I

It's not funny

No one did use it after, not really. And Wallfly's started his own Heroes specific forum, if you're interested

I know but it's kinda lame and gay

You've looked at it?

Yeah there's Non related heroes-Chat and heroes Chat and spoilers. No RP

Sounds like this one, really, but more limited. They just didn't want to come here

Does anyone actually know what the word boycott means? Or where it came from?

I don't know the origin, but it means to refuse to use something on a principle.

It's from the good aul Irish!

Explain

"Charles C. Boycott seems to have become a household word because of his strong sense of duty to his employer. An Englishman and former British soldier, Boycott was the estate agent of the Earl of Erne in County Mayo, Ireland. The earl was one of the absentee landowners who as a group held most of the land in Ireland. Boycott was chosen in the fall of 1880 to be the test case for a new policy advocated by Charles Parnell, an Irish politician who wanted land reform. Any landlord who would not charge lower rents or any tenant who took over the farm of an evicted tenant would be given the complete cold shoulder by Parnell's supporters. Boycott refused to charge lower rents and ejected his tenants. At this point members of Parnell's Irish Land League stepped in, and Boycott and his family found themselves isolated—without servants, farmhands, service in stores, or mail delivery. Boycott's name was quickly adopted as the term for this treatment, not just in English but in other languages such as French, Dutch, German, and Russian."

Woah

But so can English having big rents and chucking people out of their homes.
