Duplicates posts
“Bush’s fault” gets old.
Someone asking for a website link for a thread of something someone just saw on live TV. Hello people, it’s live.
Anything that BobJ posted. I refer to his posts in the past tense he was zottified. (thankfully)
Vanity posts
Any picture of Helen Thomas, in any thread, any time, by anybody, for any reason.

Using 'loose' when meaning 'lose'
Giving the one-word answer 'Who?' when the subject of the article is known (eg. any thread referencing douchebag Keith Olbermann).
Posts making fun of the way Democrat women look (Hillary, Michelle) instead of their absolute idiocy.
It’s not their big butts and cankles. The thing is, they’re so stupid.
Of course, one of the reasons Michelle looks so bad is because she’s so stupid, so I have to grant that. A little.
Knee jerk reactions by Palin worshipers to any comment which is less than gushing praise for Sarah. Many people are taking a wait and see attitude and might well be Palin supporters next year if she declares. But everyone is not as blown away by her magnificence as some here are.
Troll (unless they really are a troll)
When someone posts an honest question about a particular discussion or event on O’Reilly - something that sounds interesting and could make for some good discussion here - and the first 20 posters say “I haven’t watched O’Reilly since___” and make the whole thread about O’Reilly bashing. We already know those annoying things about him, and we know lots of people no longer watch him, but to post that automatically without considering the question is not only annoying but a waste of bandwidth. How many of those posts must we wade through to finally find some discussion of the original question. (This isn’t a defense of O’Reilly, just hey, we already know you don’t watch him anymore, and you don’t have to tell us again)
“you must be an X-bot” X = fill in the blank. Romney, Paul, Palin, whoever. If you agree with the position of a candidate I don't like, you are “a bot”.
“How much do you get paid to post....” lunatic conspiracy theory on the one hand, an unintended compliment on the other: you think that this FReepers posts are good enough to be professional? Really?
“do not reply to me again” In other words, “you have corrected my idiotic posts in the past, and I do not appreciate you doing so again, so please let my ignorant and/or incorrect posts stay unchallenged in the future. KTHNXBYE!” Not going to happen.
Posters that have “agenda” posts that are longer than a bridal veil and they post them over and over again on every thread I want to read. It clutters up the latest posts page and cause excessive wear on my scrolling wheel.
Short ones.
(And ones that fail to include the original question being responded to.)

I like to make up words that sound foreign, but you really can't tell what language.
