Nothing and Nthing January 13, 2008 10:16 PM Subscribe
Whence Nthing? Isn't the word "seconding" meant to include multiple votes of support? Is this something peculiar to Ask Metafilter?
That may be true in a formal context, such as in the parliamentary system, but colloquially most people use "seconding", "thirding", "fourthing", etc. to voice support. It's nonstandard, but harmless.
Since keeping track of who has supporting what and when in an ongoing BBS-style discussion (as opposed to IM or face-to-face) is a bit tough, most fall back on the generic "nthing" to avoid messing up the order. Probably more so online since it has a bit of a computer wonk vibe to it, and better suits the type of person who'd be likely to participate in internet debates.
As for it's prevalence on MeFi, I'd guess it's because the level of discussion is a bit higher than elsewhere. Can you imagine a conversation on YouTube or MySpace necessitating phrases like "Seconding X"? It's a bit too formal. I've seen it on other sites, though, so it's not like it's Metafilter's own or anything.

I've always thought of "seconding" as stemming primarily from parliamentary rules of order, in which a motion needs to be seconded before acted upon or put up for a vote. So it's not merely to say "I agree with this" but "I am, in speaking, doing the thing one does to allow this proposal to move forward."
So in that original context, there wouldn't be multiple people "seconding" (or, if there are, all but the first are completely superfluous).
And when the concept gets extended to a general sense of "I agree with this" and someone else wants to chime in with additional support, you get "thirding," "fourthing," and, eventually, to stop the silly counting already, "nth-ing." I'd be shocked if this originated on AskMe.

I don't think it's peculiar to AskMe, no. I've heard things thirded, fourthed, and nthed in a lot of different contexts. But I've spent most of my life hanging out with nerds, so, hey, it might be an observation bias.
Interesting to look at the progression of google results:
Seconded - 3,960,000
Thirded - 78,700
Fourthed - 12,900
Fifthed - 4,390
Sixthed - 1,850
Seventhed - 881
Eighthed - 987
Ninthed - 221
Tenthed - 371
Twentiethed - 8
Hundredthed - 16
Thousandthed - 5
Millionthed - 69
...
nthed - 656
Seconding - 243,000
Thirding - 13,200
Fourthing - 2,930
Fifthing - 851
Sixthing - 184
Seventhing - 271
Eighthing - 97
Ninething - 26
Tenthing - 619
Twentiething - 3
Hundredthing - 8
Thousandthing - 5
Millionthing - 34
...
nthing - 55,100
So it gets generalized out a bit; "nthed" is a lot more rare than "nthing", but even at that only 9 of ~600 hits for "nthed" are on askme.

Cortex to the rescue.
In addition to "nthing" searches obviously picking up a whole bunch of "nothing" misspellings, there are probably alternate spellings of "nthing." What does google do with punctuation within words? I'm surprised the results for nth-ing seconding are different from those for nthing seconding.

"N" as an indeterminate number larger than two has snuck out the maths lesson and into everyday colloquial Chinese, with younger people at least. E.g. - 他怎么还不明白？已经给他解释N多次了 ("How come he still doesn't get it? It's been explained to him umpteen [more-than-N] times"). Fairly recent loan word I think.

Seconding is a way of supporting someone.
Thirding, fourthing, and so on, are a way of supporting someone while acknowledging and imposing an order to the support. If twelve people say "I second that" you think nothing of it. But the moment people in the middle start getting into thirding and fourthing, the ones after are now out of the correct order. Maddening, isn't it?
Nthing conveniently circumvents that and is a way of supporting someone while reasserting that order does not matter.
It shows up frequently on MeFi because most people here have a thing about rules, logic, and order (else why so many callouts?), but they're also too lazy to read the whole thread and count.

You can keep hitting preview and editing your comment appropriately to ensure ordinal propriety, and hit preview again when done in case nobody else has incremented in the meanwhile, and again and again and again. Alternately you can enter a numeric placeholder and avoid all that.

Nth and nth degree are used fairly commonly in the UK, derived from the mathematical term I assume, and its not that unusual to say nthing in informal language in the way highlighted here. The OED has this to say:
2. Used in more general contexts. Freq. in phrases to the nth (degree, power) and variants: to any extent, to the utmost degree, without limit; for the nth time: for the umpteenth time. Also occas. as n.: the utmost part, the highest level or degree.

FROUDE Remains (1838) I. 219 My notions about it have been..very fuddled and bewildered; and, I suppose, if I were to attempt to analyse and explain them, I might raise my fuddle to the nth power. 1852 F. E. SMEDLEY Lewis Arundel xxiii, Minerva was great upon the occasion; starched to the nth. 1873 Let. 13 Sept. in Lett. William Stubbs (1904) 166, I have just killed Henry II for the nth time. 1897 Edinb. Rev. July 4 The Neapolitan..is an Italian to the nth degree. 1924 J. GALSWORTHY White Monkey ix. 193 For the nth time it inspired in him a certain liking and confidence. 1948 C. PORTER Lyrics (1983) 271/3 You're as right as the nightingale's song. You're the nth of perfection. 1986 B.

Advertising 19 16 Benetton takes this principle of ‘shock value’ to its nth degree.

'Nth' is one of those words that comes up all the time in crosswords, Scrabble, etc., and when I was playing around with the wordlist I use to make puzzles, I noticed 'nthing' wasn't in there. I was about to put it in, but then thought I'd better google it to see how common it is.

Let's say that our wildest dreams came true, and it turned out that the word "nthing" is was coined on Metafilter. We should not be so proud. It's simply a reworking of a certain phrase associated with AOL that was actually coined (if you can call it that) more than 20 years ago. I think it's a mistake to grab onto an empty and meaningless (re)construction like "nthing $name" and hold it up into the air as something that MeFi created and should be proud of.

I think "nth'ing" is a horrible construction. "nthing" is a little better. Both of them sound bad, though.

I'm pretty sure I'd seen (and possibly used) "nthing" before AskMe was created. (And possibly before AOL, Plutor.) It is, as everyone else has said, an obvious generalization of thirding, fourthing, etc., to anyone who's studied any math or CS. (Thirding and fourthing are jokes as well, but making jokes-within-jokes is another staple of geek culture.)

i smashed myself to pieces
i am gonna fuck myself up
i'm sifting through the ashes
oh what i have become
i gave myself away now i'm nthing
i let it slip away now i'm nthing
all that i can do is break myself in two
i fucked it all away now i'm nthing

Whence did nthing come and whither will it go?
Did we come to a conclusion? Or was this thread all about the road and not about the destination?
