Aliasing gentlemen. -> cigarette.
Reason: As far as I can tell, it was originally a tag where anyone (anon or yukkuri) was smoking a cigarette or cigar. Problem is, no one uses the damned tag properly and people started using the "cigarette" tag instead (wtf? where the hell did "gentlemen." come from anyway?)

Ehem *clears voice* Gentlemen.
Lemme rephrase, why did people adopt it as a tag in the first place? Some pictures tagged with it don't even involve the cigarette/cigar being in someone's mouth.
I think we should remove the tag gentlemen. from the posts that are not referencing that meme (that is, all of them except post #18702).
We can use smoking and/or cigarette to be more precise.
Seconded.
It's a silly meme anyway, and will be forgotten in a year or so.

Tell me you didn't mean that seriously, or i'll be loling at you for at least a week.
Considering the fact TF2 is still popular after years of being released, any meme related to it will NOT die out until the very popularity of TF2 dies with it. Besides i think Gentlemen already have 2 years so i think it's definitely staying.
Still, it's dumb as hell to tag anything with a cigarrette as "Gentlemen" since, well that's not the meme, the Meme is someone with his or her mouth full of cigarette like stuff imitating the original "Spy filled with cigarrettes" pic, so i second the notion of, for pics with only cigarrettes to be "smoking" or something like that.
Either way it shouldn't be tagged as as a meme anyway. Changes made, if you want to add both then go ahead.

Go ahead. I still think it's a silly meme that's only memorable because of TF2, not the other way around.
And this coming from a TF2 player. Yes, I play Pyro.

That's why i said the meme won't die out until TF2 itself dies out, it's the whole point.
It's like saying that a Meme of Touhou will dissappear before Touhou's popularity dies.
In general, memes of popular stuff like TF2 or Touhou don't die until the very series do so.
Though considering everything, i hope TF2 and Touhou won't die, they realy spawn some kickass stuff, and i'm damn casual about Touhou games and i never played TF2, but i still love the stuff people make about those games.
