Or Too dark with lots of reeb 
Reeb? Please explain
Some people playfully refer to b-e-e-r as “reeb”.
(It’s pretty amazing to me that the forum’s new censoring algorithm apparently thinks that b-e-e-r is… obscene.)

I used Google and when it showed reeb as a slang for b e e r all I could think of was that makes no sense at all.
Similarly, I could never figure out why some people use the term “za” for pizza.
Wait, the word pizza works. Did Cartalk not censor it?
I don’t know about the others with advanced degrees and all that, but my calculator thingy says that 74mph in a 65mph zone = 9mph over, not 4mph over…
I can also add 9 to 65 using my fingers and it surprisingly still comes out to the same answer…

I think it is a joke for being so dru.nk that you can’t spell be.er correctly and get it backwards by spelling it reeb…

No, he was just saying he doesn’t understand the reeb thingy anymore than understanding the za for pizza thingy… I assume anyway…
BTW, never heard the za thingy before, but it doesn’t surprise me in the least with texting these days… Sometimes I have to ask my 36yo son WTH is he talking about, they have their own language…
Kind of strange that the person using reeb for b ee r is also against using acronyms.

It was a joke lighten up, gezzz… lol
Yeah, I really don’t think some on this forum would even get that joke… 
That abbreviation predates the days of texting. It appears to have originated with “frat bros” in the '80s. I first heard it from some graduates who came back to visit with me.

I cheat. At highway speeds, 9 over is less egregious. 12% at 75 mph posted.
State trooper said they may not stop a vehicle until 10 or more over. (Dash cam video shows photo redight camera did not flash when I was 10 over.)
When they see the unlit light bar they are more lenient with my speed because they know I am likely transporting blood or specimen, etc.
But when I remove the light bar to save fuel and reduce pollution, I cannot push the speedimit.
Funny. When I was redights at 20 mph in active 20 mph school zone, a pickup passed me.
But but but - you said in other posts you were allowed by LAW (and did) travel well over 100mph when delivering blood.

Only when hospitals request redightsiren transports.
Otherwise drive themergencyehicle following all traffic laws.
When returning from deliveries, I call hospitals on the route home offering to takempty boxes out of their way.
One hospital had twenty. Moving the driver seat forward I was abe to fit 18 for an uncomfortable 249-mile trip home.
Two other occasions on the way home hospitals had OB specimens transported emergently to the blood center.
They remarked about their luck.
Total bullcrap
