Ping is the name of a Golf Club. You are either a member of the club or you are not.

It's shorthand for “By Jove, old bean, you should most certainly peruse this news item. Not only might you find it intriguing, but it could possibly be hugh and series.”
Plus if the sound reflects back at you, you can use it to calculate depth and distance.

Oh dude, sorry you posted that. Ping is just a word to let you look up an article later on your in forum list accessed by super secret coding which you must obtain from the great and powerful admin mods for if u do not you will be banned forever.

What does the ping mean. Im not a Freeper insider.In geek-speak, it's an acronym that means "packet internet groper."
Be careful how you use it.

It's a reference to Monty Python's "Machine that goes PING!" It alerts you that your baby is still alive.
We lease it back from the company we sold it to and that way it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account.

Don’t worry about it. I’ve been on here for years and don’t really know what half the stuff means. I still reply to threads and stuff like that. You’re okay. Ignore snarky replies; they’re probably ringers from over at DU anyway.

Ping is a call to another. If you want freeper 'glock rocks' to see your post, you'd type 'ping' in the reply area and put his name in the to: area. But that's not important.
Welcome to Free Republic. I see you have a sign-up date (obtained by hovering over the poster's name) of 9-1-2010.
You only get a year to figure these things out. A moose bit my sister while she was taking a shower once. His head hangs above the fireplace in the great room. Time's running out...

Good to see you're a TEA Party supporter. We went to the tea party express rally last night in Utah. We sprayed for Romney supporters, but some got through anyhow. Governor Gary Herbert of Utah is a treasure!

It’s just basically a bookmark you make, so you can make the thread easier to find by searching under your pings, because it is easier to search your pings, rather than try and search amongst a couple hundred threads that are created each day.
Now you know how mean we are, I should tell you that it is a prerequisite to hold a dagger between your teeth when you participate, so you have a useful offense weapon when you post.
