Why is DOR used when talking about people in the BB house quitting? Everytime I've heard people talking about it in the house, for at least the last three seasons, people call it a VE or voluntary exit. I guess DOR looks cooler than VE and most everyone seems to understand the meaning but was it ever actually used by anyone on the show?

didn't Howie scream for April's DOR or something?
I remember a few hamsters using it in the past

Hamsters other than Howie? Because now that you mention it, I definitely remember that. But no one else. And in this exit interview he says he was just quoting An Officer and a Gentleman. I guess it really doesn't matter now, since I know Howie is the reason everyone online calls it a DOR, but I never actually remembered any on the show saying it and I remember a conversation Dustin/Amber were having about VEing and alternating between the initials and the actual words, which jogged my memory about hearing references to it during All Stars but not picking up on it because I didn't know what they meant since DOR was what everyone online called it and I just assumed thats what it was called in the house but ever since I heard that convo, I understood what it meant and thats all I ever hear when they reference quitting.

So, yeah, basically, since last summer, I've been wondering why it was refered to that online but it was definitely due to Howie. I try to forget as much about previous seasons as I can and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't but the times that it does is usually the information I want to remember.
