Dude, almost all of your threads are either pointless, or can be answered with a single answer.

Try to use this thread, next time:

"Sub" is a Latin suffix meaning "above". It was originally started in the cubing community by Feliks Zemdegs. He started saying it as a joke, and as the cubing community evolved, so did the meaning of this suffix. It became a joke throughout the forums, and eventually, it was unanimously decided by the community that it would mean "above". There is tons more history on this suffix in the cubing community, including how Zemdegs changed it forever.

uh... what.
Faz definitely didn't start sub. Ever heard of sub 0 degrees (celcius). This wasn't the first usage either. I hope you're joking...

Of course he's not serious. and "sub" is a prefix, not a suffix

sub is below
sup is above

(for example, I'm sub25 and sup18, meaning on average my times are somewhere between 18 and 25)
