I made up a term for something and it was posted at Urban Dictionary. Not the most difficult thing to do but I'm slightly proud of myself.
A long time ago I noticed that on sites like Breitbart, TheDC and Gateway Pundit there would be times where every single comment agreeing with the author would have exactly 1 negative vote. It was as if someone had sat and deliberately gone through every one of the hundreds of comments with the sole intention of disagreeing with each one. So, after a awhile I made up a term for the kind of person who would bother to make such a futile attempt at trolling: a downvote fairy.
I decided to check Urban Dictionary today and it wasn't there nor could I find anything like it. So, I submitted it to the editors and it was just published. It's interesting to see it online where so many people might end up finding it. I'm a kinda pleased with my creativity.
(Just thought I'd be the first to bust on ya' ... )

That’s sexist!
considering zero ... it’s racist, too !
LOL! Interesting.
There was a lot of Downvote Fairies at the local Denver news site, but the site decided to remove their commentary section today.
I had an UD word published there a few months ago.
It’s, ahh... not really appropriate for FR, though.
PPE?
Very clever, congrats!
Glue Di*k
Hah! My word has been visited by a downvote fairy! See what I mean?
ROTFLMAO!!!
Wasn’t me. I swear!
Are we now allowed to call someone a fairy?
Thought that was outlawed.
Was it Al Bundy or Archie Bunker that had advised a certain person to not stand by the open window, lest he ‘fly out it’?
Actually, I wasn’t even thinking ‘homosexual’ when I made it up. But if the shoe fits....
Congratulations, you have just rendered your only contribution to society.
I’m kidding! You contribute daily here on FR!
If you’re the same servo1969 that I follow on Disqus whose posts I enjoy reading on Breitbart, etc. can I ask why you set your profile to private? I miss being able to find your posts.
