[history]
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 - ??

Hello,
I told him that, but he insisted to know what it was, and did it live here in MO. (He said, "e-mail that lady, ask her!) I will let him know that he is safe, thanks!!! (LOL!)
Glad to be here, MOgirl

Cowbells are a reference to a truly classic Saturday Night Live skit with Christopher Walken as the 'legendary record' producer of the Blue Oyster Cult...they play the actual track of 'Don't Fear the Reaper,' with Will Farrell on cowbell, and Walken keeps coming out of the booth saying...'I'm not feeling it, I need more cowbell.' The tract starts (again and again) Farrell goes wild (with the cowbell) and the other cast members (portraying the rest of BOC) are in various forms of pain trying to hold in the laughter. Its truly the best of SNL...and I acually turn up 'Don't Fear the Reaper' if it comes on the car radio just to hear the cowbell.

Hey, don't forget moran...as in "Get a life you moran",
may be plural, also.
Comes from a pic of a guy with a sign misspelling "moron".

Don't forget "opus", where a mad freeper leaves Free RepublicMy favorites.
A close second is the complaints about someone's formatting.
(Although it's not as good since the Robinson boys sharpened the auto-close-tag.)
