It �s a French way of saying "you �re welcome".

That �s a good one, Stephanie Sophia P. S. here�s my definition (not as witty) abderian is an adjective used to describe a person who has a habit of dressing up for the derby, e.i he looks abnormally derbian. And a hat like this one is a must ... Had to remove the hat as it was distorting the forum

Abderian is the name of the male child of an Arab man married with an American woman. He wanted to name his child "Abdelkader" and she wanted to name him "Ryan".....after many days of heated arguments and 3900 $ on marriage counseling, they came up with this compromise.

Here �s me playing for the first time...
My guess -it is a mixture in three languages ab-from the "dead" Latin, der- from German (I think) and ian- from...Ian in English.
so the result would be "by the Ian" but due to the fact that somebody was angry with Ian, he came up without a capital letter!

Ab-deri-an: A person obssessed with their abdominal muscles "abs" and the derierre. An abderian frequently works out and is excessively self concious of these specific areas of the human body. Abderians are extremely narcissistic and are often found posing looking at these areas in the mirror.
To find specific examples of an abderian watch on MTV or google "Jersey Shore".
