Maybe I missed it somewhere, but what does aina stand for/mean?
Good question. I always figured, from context, that it means "don't you agree?", as in being short for "ain't that right?"
http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/lifestyle/31844574.html
It's basically an old German phrase for "right?" So when 4ever said: "Baby sitters make the best walk-ons, aina?"
Basically it means, "Baby sitters make the best walk-ons, right?"

Gotcha, thanks!
I thought it was Milwaukee-speak (as per CTWarrior's & the Sultan's explanation), so it gets thrown in on postings for pure comedic value.
It stands for Armenian International News Agency.
The internet says so, so it must be true. Aina?
An interesting part of Scoop history is that the moderators once set the site to automatically change aina to another word anytime that it was used in a post forcing 4ever and others to go to ain'a for a while. That practice was discontinued as mysteriously as it was begun...

It's just not a 4evers post without it.
Makes me cringe every time I see it.

So you agree with me.
I definitely agree. It's neither fun, nor funny

Not to mention the posts containing the word rarely, if ever, offer an insight.

.....and 98% of the posts have some form of a sexual reference to it.
When I was at MU there was a contest to give County Stadium a name. The winning entry was the Aina Hey Sports Palace. The County/Brewers declined to adopt the name in any formal capacity.
The longer version put together by my out of state brothers at MU was:
Aina hey, don'tcha know, sh*t fer sure, down der on da sout side.
TV Director can do it with a combo Albert the Alley Cat and New Jersey accent. He may be able to add to the line too.

On Schroeder 10N we had the Two Petes from somewhere 'Up Nort.' They punctuated virtually every sentence with "too, yet" (i.e. "You guys goin' down to eat der, too yet?")
And, doncha know, this odd colloquialism caught on with a passion and became standard speak on 10N for the balance of the semester, der, too yet. You betcha dupa!

A brilliant idea, actually,
Since 4Never's comments are usually too inane to inspire a reply, it will actually work.
Ya der. Ya der. Ya der, hey.
Ya der. Ya der, aina hey!

I personally think 4never's the best poster here behind teamdee. Gives crap but also takes crap, aina?
I like it. Goes me a little chuckle and reminds me of ol' Art Kumbalek.

Kinda like that cool names thread, aina.
"N'est-ce pas" sounds smarter.
I could be wrong but I believe aina is slang for ain't it... which of course is also slang.
I cringe more when people say I don't disagree with you.

Traditionally yes. The near south side was predominantly Polish, but there were plenty of Germans on the south side. Lots of Lutheran churches on that side of town.

Wait...is this a thread critiquing 4ever? Wtf? He's one of the best posters on this board.
Is Warriorchick really telling us about over used phrases or bad humor while she prepares another "Cool names" thread?

Wait...are you commenting in a nearly month-old thread to complain about something you've already brought up in another thread?
Just do what I have done to 4ever. Put me on "ignore". You know, like I suggested the last time.
The thread bumped because I saw TVDirector at the game Saturday and asked him to chime in.
yo, you talking to me?
