thirded
Backed a motion
Thirded signals agreement with two previous statements or votes, following the pattern of seconded.
It appears in casual discussion, especially online, when someone wants to add their voice to an emerging consensus: A: We should get pizza. B: Seconded. C: Thirded.
The formation is playful—standard parliamentary procedure has no "third."
