Why has it become popular with Bills fans?

 

Simply because a lot of us drink Bud Light?

i think it is popular everywhere now. I hear it all the time. I dont think Ive ever actually seen the commercial until today in this thread. :lol:

that still doesn't explain WTF it means.

It's a play off the whole Game of Thrones thing. "Dilly dilly!" means something similar to "hear, hear!" I thinks. A statement to indicate one's wholehearted agreement.

 

Gugny is the dark overlord of TSW! Dilly dilly!!

Comes from a bad commercial for bud where they take swipes at craft beer. Meanwhile AB-inbev has been busy acquiring many craft breweries recently. So the recent popularity of the annoying phrase comes from a ****ty, hypocritical TV ad.

Thery were careful not to insult craft beer, but rather, wine.

 

Bells Two Hearted Ale, FTMFW! Dilly dilly!

I didn't take it as a swipe against craft beers since a mead isn't a beer.

Right. It's a swipe against any beverage with flavor. (I'm not a mead fan, but I like craft beers.)

 

Bud Light is like sex in a boat. They're both ****ing close to water.

Yeah I took it more as a dig against that hipster friend that's always trying to turn someone on to their new trendy thing.

Normally I'm pretty jive with the buzz Bills terminology but this one I don't know. Even the team's IG page is saying it now.

 

Can anyone explain it?

 

It means "Huzzah!" (huh-ZAY!)

A bad beer commercial featuring a polyester frat-boy reenactment of an Elizabethan court had the King and his peers cheering "Dilly Dilly!" instead (over gifts of Bud Lite, no less)

How about this song from the 50" doo wop "Lavender Blue"

 

Lavender blue, dilly, dilly
Lavender green
If I were king, dilly, dilly
I'd need a queen
Who told me so, dilly, dilly
Who told me so
I told myself, dilly, dilly
I told me so
If your dilly, dilly heart
Feels a dilly, dilly way
And if you answer, yes
In a pretty little church
On a dilly, dilly day
You'll be wed in a dilly, dilly dress
Of lavender blue, dilly, dilly
Lavender green
Then I'll be king, dilly, dilly
And you'll be my queen
Great-grandfather met great grandmother
When she was a shy young miss
And great-grandfather won great-grandmother
With words more or less like this
Lavender blue, dilly, dilly
Lavender green
If you were king, dilly, dilly
You need a queen
Who told you so, dilly, dilly
Who told

That one actually dates from England in the 17th century (if not older)

 

The applicable verse would be:

If you should die, dilly dilly, as it may hap, You shall be buried, dilly dilly, under the tap; Who told you so, dilly dilly, pray tell me why? That you might drink, dilly dilly, when you are dry.[1 Edited by Hapless Bills Fan

I had to email my client about this TV spot when it dropped - if you create new vernacular that gets used by the masses, you win the marketing game!

 

 

Also, if there are people that have watched this spot and don't get what "dilly dilly" means, I might have to take you out of tonight's game for concussion protocol.

 

DILLY DILLY! :beer:
