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 - ??
Who is that guy?

Try this thread in the morning.
"I've got a fever, and the cure is MORE COWBELL!"
It's from a SNL sketch, a take-off on a "VH1 Behind the Music" of Blue Oyster Cult. It's a real scream! Do a google search for the video. "More Cowbell" should be enough!
Mark
Wow, I missed that one the first time around. Great, great, great funny stuff.
Watch the opening credits of "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." It's a hoot! Except I don't think that llamas "hoot!"
Mark
BWAAHAAA...that was a funny thread. Just had to comment on it. Now back to the show.........
To this day, I still break out in hysterical laughter every time I hear "The Immigrant Song" on the radio.

Those were the days, when we could watch the press "behind the scenes". My favorite was when the reporters would be milling around on the balcony in street clothes and then put on a flak jacket and helmet just for the time they were on air.
No llama's "mroof"

You're heart was in the right place, that's for sure. Kudos anyway, regardless of how it turned out.
Hope this somehow gets put in the FR Lore Book. I hope some creative FReeper will think about getting something started along that line.

Well, that IS HUGH!!
Whew. That picture makes my eyeballs sweat.
You can't forget this classic:

How could we have made it this far without "wear our the cats???"
Hard to believe huh?
Seriesly!
