reo speedwagoning

verb. to share a poorly sourced rumor as fact on social media. The information is unreliable, because, as the song "Take It on the Run" says, you "heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend" etc etc.

"Look at this GIF meme! Don't go to the mall today, there will be pee served instead of lemonade at the Orange Julius!"
"Wtf, this is just two people texting each other nonsense. Stop REO Speedwagoning".

REO Speedwagon

The Speedwagon was a fast station wagon of the 1940's made by Ransom E. Olds (I don't know what the E stands for). Mr. Olds started two car companies, Oldsmobile and REO. Oldsmobile was later purchased by GM. REO became extinct a long time ago. Obviously, Oldsmobile is now just a part of automotive history as well.

Think of the REO Speedwagon as the Dodge Magnum SRT8 of the 1940's. I seriously believe the band was named after the car (also with Pantera).

reo speedwagon

Rock band known for a string of hit songs in the '80s, such as "Can't Fight This Feeling" and "Take it on the Run"

synonomous with "overrated"

REO Speedwagon is the most overrated band ever; they just played the same song over and over again and changed the lyrics a little bit

"Goddammit...REO Speedwagon wrote another shitty love song."
"Yeah...they're just a crappy rip-off of Styx."
