Man, I didn't even say anything and I'm being attacked...

That being said, I found this post to be interesting.

Yeah, this. And of course, this redefining/misinterpretation of the rating was inevitable. I mean, how could I possibly resist the temptation of doing the thing with the doing the thing rating?

I have also, always interpreted the "YDTTA" rating as as "You're doing your thing again (and it's annoying/exaggerated)" rating.
Well, that, or the rating to give a post in the Sex Thread when the poster's returning from an eventful Comic Con.

So many to choose from, too.
Swamp Thing, Man-Thing*, John Carpenter’s Thing, Addams’ Family, etc.
