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 - ??
Remember the song, Legend of Mike Moran???
hey how are you? hope you are well
new album by Poisonblack supposed to come out tomorrow (in Europe anyway). surprised me because supposedly Ville Laihiala was only going to sing with Charon.
lol, there's a FReeper for every thing
"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
Theyre the bravest men Ive known and Ill miss them every day,
I will keep them in my heart, so theyre never far away,
In remembrance of my brothers, who from earthly bonds did pass,
Osama, step right up and kiss my royal Irish ass,
Youll pay the price, but first youll 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,
Theyre the bravest men Ive known and Ill miss them every day,
I will keep them in my heart, so theyre never far away,
In remembrance of my brothers, who from earthly bonds did pass,
Osama, step right up and kiss my royal Irish ass,
Youll pay the price, but first youll kiss my royal Irish ass
Try to take our freedom and youve made a big mistake,
The Spirit of America, youre 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
Theyre the bravest men Ive known and Ill miss them every day
I will keep them in my heart, so theyre never far away,
In remembrance of my brothers, who from earthly bonds did pass,
Osama, step right up and kiss my royal Irish ass,
Youll pay the price, but first youll kiss my royal Irish ass
You're right. Dang.... I missed his exit.

Doing okay for the most part.

Is it possible to find all Quidam's old posts?
I want to start an annual "Quidam Day"
True, but when he wasn't pissed he had some great comments!!!
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=by%3A+Quidam+site%3Afreerepublic.com
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.

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.
