Hopefully the above will help answer your questions.
NOTE: This is the final draft that I will post on the forum this year (further updates will be placed on my profile page). This, however, does NOT mean you still can't make suggestions for inclusion. Keep in mind, suggestions should be fairly unique to FreeRepublic and have lasting value.
Thanks to all who have contributed and, of course, to Jim Robinson for the venue to post all these witty (and not so witty) remarks and images.
I'm stuned!
Unngh?
Love the long list..quite a dictionary. I always refer to James CarVILE as “swamprat”

Hey, this is really cool.
I bookmarked it, because I have to go take a shower now.
Great list!!
I might have tried to correct this before, but Fudd Fan is a HERself.
Tanks.
I just realized that there’s a binary/hex converter available on the web. There have been some binary postings on Free Republic. I usually don’t bother with them, at first I thought they were a mistake (they certainly were a long time ago when FR first started), but now it appears to be a fun way to encode messages.
So, give it a try. Here’s a sample to check out:
01000100 00101101 01010010 00101101 01001001 00101101 01001110 00101101 01001011 00100000 01011001 00101101 01001111 00101101 01010101 00101101 01010010 00100000 01001111 00101101 01010110 00101101 01000001 00101101 01001100 00101101 01010100 00101101 01001001 00101101 01001110 00101101 01000101 00100000 00100000

I am very sorry to say I know every one of these entries... except perhaps the Michael Moore one.
(((sigh)))
I really waste too much time here.

Jean S said in another thread:
And to reiterate, this is not an attempt to collect a list of “Alpha Freepers” what ever the hell that means.
***The term was once the first thing defined in the lexicon, but batter removed it from the 2008 lexicon... I wonder why?

Fifth Edition of The Lexicon of FreeRepublic, culled from the original thread and subsequent editions. Thanks to the many Freepers who contributed!
FreeRepublic Glossary
Alpha Freeper - Top tier Freeper who can post most anything and draw dozens of replies from other alpha Freepers.
I will add this to my help for newbies page thanks for the hard work.
Don’t forget “’98ers”. That’s a term being used frequently on FR these days!
Keep up the good work!
The FReeper in question recently pointed out the origin of this one:

She now goes by another handle, but I'll let her follow-up with her new one, if she chooses.
The saga of ‘Jim Thompson’ needs to be added to this list ASAP!
Big time - see Clymer
Bitter Clinger - Anyone who cares about the Second Amendment, religion, and immigration law and doesn't turn to big government to solve personal problems. References a closed-door fundraiser speech he gave to elites in San Fransisco where he stated (regarding small town Pennsylvanians and economic hardship): "...So it’s not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations..."
We've been signing the same song for a while now...
