Ah, but you are using alternate definitions.
Sure, "execute" can refer to killing it, but it is also the root word of "executive" which is I think like a CEO or a president.
And "rep" is short, obviously, for "reptile".
Therefore you have to become a reptilian overlord in order to increase your rep on Steemit.
Btw, you are at 56.958. Only 42 more Shapeshifts to go!
Alternate you say! Urban, trendy, cool and current definitions actually, and dare I say it...'hip' ... as opposed to elbow I suppose. Re: reptilian overlord... I did apply to become a child of the Roths, but apparently they don't adopt anyone over 18. Think they actually said over 8 or a teen, but i possibly misheard. Applied to BBC instead for Dr.Who part, reckon timelord/overlord run pretty close. Perhaps?
Yeah, better go with the timelord gig. Overlords are overrated.
