Of late, Tripod+1 has engaged in a dispute over the proper use of "deeee." This particular "phraseology" is believed to have originated in Hong Kong and was originally used to emphasize and poke fun at any topic or item of interest, and also typically only objects that contain the sound "eeee." (e.g., "deeeee briiiiiiiiiiiiidge")
There are some camps, however, that insist that the original conventions have room to evolve to include other non "eeeee"-sounding objects. Examples include "deeee funnelllll" or "deeee next bloooooock." The council appears split down the middle, with 2 in favor of the evolving convention, and 2 in favor of the status quo. (Statuuuuuuuuuuus quo.) Only time can tell which way this saga develops.
An oldie but goodie: "Deeeee gryyyyyyst to deeee meeeeeeeell!!!"

...muuuuuuuch.
Tripod+1 is...
...either an independent order of odd fellows, a veritable pantheon of beast-eating eggs, a breeding ground for innovative lingo, or an inner circle of chiefs and bosses, depending on how you look at it. No matter how you define them, one thing is clear...if you take out one leg of the tripod, the whole thing falls over.

Hey, "split down the middle" is just a bit in deeeee smack dab.
Evolution of "deeee" also includes expanding from monosyllabic to polysyllabic usages.
