REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"He replied but saged it, a subtle way of saying the thread wasn't worth bumping."

LORE & ORIGIN

A foundational imageboard feature (originating on Japanese textboards, carried into 4chan and other Western imageboards) used both functionally and as a mild social signal of disapproval toward a thread.
