Freeper Lingo Reference Thread

Every once in a while I see Freeper lingo I don't understand and have to research to figure out the meaning/background.

Today, I thought it would be helpful for newbies (and 'seasoned' Freepers) to have a 'reference' for the lingo specifically related to FR (ie not stuff like LOL etc you can get everywhere else).

My intention is for this thread (and my profile page) to be that reference, in as much as it can be kept reasonably up to date.

I've just started to compile the terms today, so I'm sure there are massive gaps and omissions in the definitions/histories. Please fill them in!

Here's what I have right now:

IBTZ - In Before The Zot - term posted before the troll/disrupter gets booted
Zot - verb, to get kicked off FR in an undignified manner
Mod comment: See Coop's post #52 for correct definition of "Zot"
beeber (beeber like object) - see the thread that started it all: Would like freeper help (apologies to al baby)
stuned - misspelling of stunned - see beeber
hugh - misspelling of huge posted on a thread by an excited freeper.
series - misspelling of serious posted on a thread by an excited freeper.
BIOYAC - Texan freepism - Blow It Out Your A**, Cowboy
shower pictures - from an excited freeper saying they just got out of the shower on a breaking news thread about a possible terror event (it was determined the event was not terror related).
DUmmie (anything DU---) - Democratic Underground troll/disruptor
cowbell pictures - ??
ziggy - ??
spork weasel - ??

Then there were those we lost on 9-11 Barbara Olsen and Mike Moran.

Remember the song, Legend of Mike Moran???

I can add so many new names to the list of Fav Freepers no longer posting. Starting with Mad Ivan

Ivan was OK but every time he got PO'd he'd threaten to quit or announce that he's done with FR and get as many FReeper as possible to kiss his arse.

I have run into my share of opposition on this board but I never threatened to take my ball and go home.

He was a boy among men IMO.

"The Ballad of Mike Moran"
(Christopher Storc and Doug from Upland)


I am Irish and was proud to serve with other firemen,
Who gave their lives for us that day, each one of them a friend,
In remembrance of my brothers who from earthly bonds did pass,
Osama, step right up and kiss my royal Irish ass


They’re the bravest men I’ve known and I’ll miss them every day,
I will keep them in my heart, so they’re never far away,
In remembrance of my brothers, who from earthly bonds did pass,
Osama, step right up and kiss my royal Irish ass,
You’ll pay the price, but first you’ll kiss my royal Irish ass


Never thinking of their safety, only saving other lives,
They never made it home to see their daughters, sons, or wives,
In remembrance of my brothers who from earthly bonds did pass,
Osama, step right up and kiss my royal Irish ass,


They’re the bravest men I’ve known and I’ll miss them every day,
I will keep them in my heart, so they’re never far away,
In remembrance of my brothers, who from earthly bonds did pass,
Osama, step right up and kiss my royal Irish ass,
You’ll pay the price, but first you’ll kiss my royal Irish ass


Try to take our freedom and you’ve made a big mistake,
The Spirit of America, you’re never going to break,
In remembrance of my brothers who from earthly bonds did pass,
Osama, step right up and kiss my royal Irish ass


They’re the bravest men I’ve known and I’ll miss them every day
I will keep them in my heart, so they’re never far away,
In remembrance of my brothers, who from earthly bonds did pass,
Osama, step right up and kiss my royal Irish ass,
You’ll pay the price, but first you’ll kiss my royal Irish ass

You're right. Dang.... I missed his exit.


Ivan was alright, had his quirks, but we all do.

Yeap, I do remember that - and I'll never forget Sept 11 watching everything unfold on television while reading on FR. It's a day I wish I didn't remember so vividly.

A lot of his post would be in the old White Water threads which are no longer available online. A shame as they contained some interesting stuff.

Lesson plan for new Kitties.
Should it be required reading for noobs before enlisting in the VK?

Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my Viking Kitty/ZOT ping list!. . . don't be shy.

Good ol' Meek never had any conditions other than "Don't be shy."

(I seem to recall one of those VKs got the zot once and Meek got ribbed over it. Ha!)

I miss Meek. He's a good 'un.
