This is a copy of the 2006 Lexicon (linked at the top) for Freepers to review and add their suggestions for things that should be added or removed. It would also be nice to know who to credit with the addition (if you know who the originating FReeper was for a phrase etc).

I've suggested removing WAYR as it was really only used shortly after the South Park episode aired and didn't ever gain the traction or significant use here. If I am wrong, please correct me and I'll keep it in for the final version.

Before I let everyone 'have at it', let me quickly lament my stupidity for not learning my lesson in 2006 and taking this on again: oh why did I do it?! why did I not shut up and leave things alone?!...

Alright, let's hear your suggestions (be gentle).

Appreciated.

How about more of the acronyms that freepers use? Sometimes it is difficult to fathom what words they represent.

A bookmarking must!

A couple of suggestions:
HSW: Hillary’s Secret Warriors- DNC infiltrators who try to split the base, spread false stories, and cause normal discord to influence votes.

WAYR: What Are You Retarded? - Reference to the 25% of the country that believes 9/11 was an inside job and/or our fault. Common response to Paulites.

How about Necro-trolls? The individuals that sign up and ressurect threads about somebody dying (usually in a manner that promotes sarcastic FReeper comments) and claims to know the deceased and scolds us for our "heartlessness". For a while hellinahandcart had a "Fraud" ping list to summon those who delighted in tormenting these souls.

We’re on the list of ping lists.

Remember, we must practice humility in all our dealings with the procreating masses. ;)

Any suggestions of acronyms you would like to see included?

Last year I removed the common web acronyms (LOL etc) as they are readily available and as an effort to keep the length of the lexicon somewhat manageable (see the link to the 2006 Lexicon and read the statement under the lexicon title for the changes I made to the pre-2006 lexicons).
