Hi, I'm a newbie. Can anyone help explain to me what does "Pedes" mean? I couldn't find any good explanation on the internet.

Thanks.

It's a longstanding meme among the frequenters of r/The_Donald (while it was still on Reddit), and here, now. Pede refers to 'Centipede', a song by Knife Party. T_D frequenters picked up the lyrics, which describe the "two hollow fanged" toxicity of the small, carnivorous centipede, and its reputation as a "nimble navigator" (another phrase that you'll see in the comments). And, like the insect, we pedes have many legs and are more dangerous than we look. It's a term of endearment for our fellow Trump fans and .winners that we've retained for several years now.

I love the fact that so many of us were on Reddit, got kicked off and came to build this. It’s such an inspiring internet story. Truly!
