1. The original meaning: When someone posts a subtle joke and someone else responds to that post not seeing the joke, while making the same exact joke in a not-so-subtle manner. This is a classic whiff.
2. The easy meaning: When someone responds to a joke post sincerely, completely missing the joke.
3. The Paigow/most popular (lately) meaning: A response to anyone who doesn't read your post in the way only you could understand it. Or, in the alternative, a cop-out when someone nails you for making no sense.
Whatever the meaning, it has been played out for roughly two years now.

OK, so in variations 1 and 2, you have someone posting a joke and the difference between the original (#1) and the paigow (#2) is that someone eithe rmakes a blatant joke that is just a louder NFHer version of the oirginal, while the paigow version is just missing the joke of the first post altogether.
I think I get this now. Same means, different ends.
