>I hear 'triple-dub' or 'dub-dub-dub' a lot over here. Do you hear either of those where you live? An exclamation point is sometimes pronounced 'bang', and a slash is 'whack' (which leads to back-whack, I suppose).

Yeah I like them. I wish they'd say it over here (I'll wager it's only the computer literate who say it though - news readers won't?). Trouble is, 'dub-dub-dub' sounds a bit like what the cub-scouts used to say over here (I don't know about in the US): "DYB - DYB - DYB!" went the Senior-Sixer (acro. for "Do your best") = "We'll DOB - DOB - DOB - DOB" came the response from the pack (acro. for "Do Our Best").

Maybe that's why it hasn't been adopted - for fear of ridicule. Also, as a reggae fan, I like listening to Dub! :-)
