I think you are missing the point. We on this site work to promote RTBA and particularly OC (open carry) and as such advertise and promote these rights by OCing - by the way we carry.
Therefore "carry on" is very much a double entendre though perhaps only recognizable as such to insiders - it is to them that this is directed.
Yata hey
Didn't miss the point, and I've been here long enough to have caught on, despite not posting often. Try a peek at a reg date once in a while. Not an old hand, but hardly a newbie. If it should be heard by a non "insider" the message they're going to get is people telling each other to go back to what they were doing. Seems an odd thing to me, but whatever.

Ymmv? Huh?
Only strictly speaking does "carry on" mean a terse "continue what you are doing." Even in the military the term is often used jokingly or in a very friendly way by superiors or by peers. Ina broad sense, "Continue what you're doing"
is the code meaning we seek to send - somthing that "hello" does not do
think up beat, like you know "Party on Dude!" You all remember that one right? See

Ymmv=Your Milage May Vary. TBH (to be honest), Imo (In my opinion), Irl (in real life) are all things I use fairly often online without even thinking about it...sorry for being unclear. Too many years of internet jabber I suppose.
Yeah, even with the upbeat tone and all, it still doesn't really seem too fabulous to me. Not that I have anything better to offer, lol. Either way, that just means I won't be using it, not that it's trash.
