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 - ??
LOL
I just tossed out 300 to 500 pages of old prodigy whitwater board print outs
Oh yeah. I love that graphic!
Yes, it was and then we got davenport, who was then quickly ZOTTED.
My boss gave me a red swingline stapler in our last business meeting. LOL
heh heh hehheh ...cool
thanks!
(funny tagline!)
Uh oh.
Please tell me none have been framed and hung somewhere..
All I got was a roll of duct tape.
I dunno whether to laugh, or put it to demented office uses.

IIRC there was a shotgun tag closer of some kind
This was before the new scripts that fixed the Maryln Manson multipost pics
Just remain clam, no matter what happens. :-)
That is quite correct.
Heck, Im just getting over my "Newbie" status. Im glad you old timers keep me in line.
I cant even remember what "IIRC" stands for.
IIRC-- If I Recall Correctly....
As I understand it, Bush has a habit of creating knicknames for all the people he has to deal with on a regular basis. After the Clymer incident, Bush started calling his VP "Big Time". Hence, the baseball jersey.
An acronym with a built in disclamer!
Okers, I guess as long as I am unaware which one is being kept for posterity I will be fine.
