Below you will see a link and below that is a section from the link copy and pasted so you can get an idea of what's in the link without clicking on it. It's customary to add an article or portion of the content within the link etc. so folks who have problems downloading link contents can simply read it in text within the forum. Typically an article is not written by the poster in a forum but rather copy and pasted from an outside source, sometimes with or without the source included in the form of a link.
Below you will see an example of this in action.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peanut_gallery
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A peanut gallery was, in the days of vaudeville, a nickname for the cheapest (and ostensibly rowdiest) seats in the theater, the occupants of which were often known to heckle. [1]
The least expensive snack served at the theatre would often be peanuts, which the patrons would sometimes throw at the performers on stage to show their disapproval. The phrases "no comments from the peanut gallery" or "quiet in the peanut gallery" are extensions of the name, meaning the commoner should defer to their betters. [1]
In the late 1940s the Howdy Doody children's television show adopted the name to represent its audience of children. [2]
In culture [edit]
In recent times, the term has taken on new meanings with the advent of social networks and online chat rooms. "Peanut gallery" may also refer to a social network audience that passively observes a syndicated web feed or chat room [citation needed] . Alternatively, it may refer to the stream of open comments visible on certain types of blogs. [3]
A similar term was introduced to Brazilian football by coach Luis Felipe Scolari. He called Palmeiras' complaining audience that sat in the closest seats "Turma do Amendoim" ("peanut gang").
For those who cannot ascertain the meaning of the acronym "2A".
It stands for Second Amendment with the number 2 denoting second and the A for amendment - hence 2A or 2a.
Have a great day!
