In his own inimitable fashion, John Turner edited all the polls to have an option called "carrots", which had nothing to do with anything, except it would usually win. It was his way of saying "Hey, polls are stupid, and to show it, I will introduce a vegetable option that will display how silly these wacky polls are."

Some people were annoyed that a mod edited their poll, but now many have started putting carrots in by themselves- I'm not sure if John does it anymore. People also seem to want to use it to say "That was stupid" or "This is a dumb topic and deserves a dumb answer." or "Everyone seems to be saying 'carrots' and I desperately want to be accepted in this odd, odd culture, so I, too, will say carrots."

The poster in your classified section did not use that vernacular correctly. The proper reply would have been "ST*U, noob".

Just kidding. Don't use ST*U.

Superducks quote is where carrots came from.

I thought 'carrots' was in reference to like a soup? Meaning ok here's a dumb post, let's just throw everything in with the meat, so here's some carrots.

Did you include a price with the item you are selling in your classified? If not, the poster was probably reminding you that TB rules require this and he was trying to be cute by saying it in a way that included the legendary "carrots" reference.

That's what I'm guessing. If you post a link to the classified, we can see it in context.
