I'm far from internet-culture literate, but one theory (!!! I'm absolutely not sure) is appropriately geeky:

Neon Genesis Evangelion, a.k.a. Evangelion, a.k.a. Eva, is an infamous anime as equally despised as it is worshipped, and is well known throughout sections of the internet where the geeks reign, which is almost everywhere (except the porn) anyway.

That's what I use it for anyway.

Though I suspect it's just another 4chan relic, moar!

As of the topic: I believe he should be posthumously made general...

That really was a great powerpoint presentation!

Yeah, geeks and porn, that's crazy. No way would that ever happen!

I'm inclined to think that evar was a common typo that caught on. A bit like 'teh'.

I think 'a' and 'e' buttons are a little too far apart, though; 'teh' is just 'the' quickly and sloppily typed in the wrong order, while 'evar' requires one to press an extra 'a' instead of the 'e'.

Then again, I am analyzing keyboard patterns of a bunch of idiots who couldn't even type basic English, which is kind of idiotic in and of itself.

Your explanation is probably right.
