For fun:

Answered a question first with at least one upvote, but Jon Skeet eventually receives the accepted answer.

EDIT:

I changed the title so as not to have Jon's name tainted with such a horrible double meaning. I had no idea such a term existed...

    I swear this is a dupe oddly enough.

  • The dupe is the opposite, beating the skeet

    This is the worst possible naming. I am not sure you understand the alternate meaning, but I encourage you to look it up before recommending this kind of stuff.

    Looked it up... very bad indeed. [I apologize Mr. Skeet] @Rich B: Look it up! How in heck am I supposed to know about something like that?!?

    If you're serious, rather than single out Jon Skeet perhaps any person with the greater of your rep + 10K or your rep x 2?

  • @Josh, watch Chris Rock ... its a window into an alternate reality

    Hmmm, the only badge that Jon Skeet wouldn't have.

    I sympathize with Josh ... I had no idea what that meant either. ... wish I still didn't.

I was recently thinking that a Skeeting / being Skeeted would be where you see a question, think "I know the answer", go to reply and promptly scream "DAMN YOU JON SKEET, DO YOU EVER SLEEP?"

  • Seriously though, how did such a term come into existence?!? Who was the person to think "It shall be called skeeting" WHY???

Similar version for SF, replacing Jon Skeet with Evan Anderson

I suggested something similar but think I may have deleted it. I didn't want the "Skeeted" reference to take away from the positive of what Jon does... It happens frequently when a higher rep person answers a question later and ends up getting more up votes and the answer...

I think these "fun" badges are best left for data-dump analysis, we can determine most of this from the data dump anyway, and even though Jon has a phenomenal hit rate some other users have higher ones.
