[Origin: bef. 900; ME behoven, OE behōfian to need (behōf behoof + -ian inf. suffix)]


—Synonyms 2. benefit, advantage, serve, better, advance; suit, befit, beseem.

A while back, while bored in algebra class (I am since graduated), I started drawing a cartoon called "Behoove the Mountain Ninja", about this ninja that had odd ways of helping people (I.E, helping an old lady cross the street by drop kicking her through on-coming cars windows).

Now, for the longest time, I alwasy thought Behoove was just some random word I made up.

Untill I came to the CS forums. I now see in many posts from Blizzard guys, Behooving people, say to contact X for help with X. Only here, in relation to WoW, can ones vocabulary be expanded!

Thanks Blizzard guys, I behoove you to have a good day! :D

When I was young I was behooved now I am simply behooven. Although it behooves me to state that while some hooves are are hoofed not all are hooven and after awhile they may have beenhooven instead of behooven although it may be or have been strangely behoofed to begin with.

Since this is an off-topic thread, Vrak, may I have Green, please?


Of course, I shall even give him a bag of fantasticalness to deliver to you.

It's something of an intermittent tradition around here; I present an interesting or unusual word, and everyone else marvels at it. :D

Behoove is as good a word as any -- and not used nearly enough for my tastes -- so I put my stamp of approval on it:

Er, ladies... while I appreciate the... vigor with which you've taken to this topic, I think perhaps moving on would be for the best? ^^;

Morning, Bierzun. I believe I saw that you are visiting us from another Forum, is that correct?

Either way, welcome.
