# What does
RIS actually mean?
Urban Dictionary defenition:
"I don't get it. Just type RIS whenever you don't get something, and no-one else will get it too.

RIS? I don't get it."

Really?

They need an abbreviation section in the FAQ

# Ages ago...

# MORRISONS
Without the RIS is MORONS. One reply did not get it and said "RIS?" hence from whence it comes

# not quite..
I was RISing at RIS until someone showed me the original post, then I de-RISed. I just thought it might provide a moment's mirth if I did a make-like for a moment. Hence the Phoebe thing - after about 250,000 episodes of Friends she finally gets the Central Park/Central Perk gag.

God I'm sad.

From Wikipedia:

"RIS?" – 'I do not understand' – this phrase originates from an image of a Morrisons sign posted by ThatFineLine, where the letters RIS had been extinguished, leaving the word MORONS. [4] See also: LWORTHS (Curis) and DAE (Lord Manley).
