It is time to update the Lexicon. We're looking for terms, "FReeperisms," lore, pictures, etc with LASTING value (ie we'll be seeing them for several months, preferably years) and that are not self-explanatory.

I've heard it suggested that Sarah (Barracuda) Palin be added to the Pic Rule. That may well occur, but be warned of the Helen Thomas part of that rule...MWHAHAHAHAHA...

FYI,

BTTT - "Back Bump To The Top" is used interchangeably with "Bump".

Here’s an acronym I used as a tagline.

(SURFRINAGWIASS : Shut Up RINOs. Free Republic is not a GOP Website. It’s a SOCON Site.)

[Oratam]

Argh! The mystery of YITBOS continues.

[Kevmo]

Here’s a post that never gets old. From the front page.

I’d like to see a shorthand acronym for this, because it gets used so often, especially when confronting RINOs. How about SbtFoFR? Or FPSbtFoFR for Front Page statement...

Statement by the founder of Free Republic

As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America. We oppose all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism, wacko environmentalism, judicial activism, etc.

I’d like to suggest another item, and this time you get to make it up. I refer a lot of freepers to the lexicon. So we need a “Read it in the Lexicon” shorthand. RiitL?

Also, the lexicon needs to have a link on the front page of this website. Maybe we could then say RiitFPL. or just RTFP.

[Mr. Silverback]

Sarahcuda—The callsign of the awesomest VP pick in generations!

[Kevmo]

We’re starting to see a lot of text messaging short hand.

For instance, “I <3 FR” = I Heart Free Republic

Here’s a link to an acronym list that might prove useful for the lexicon.

Another to add, from an article today:

"Buttociated Press"

The Clbuttic Mistake: When obscenity filters go wrong (The Telegraph (London, UK) 9-2-08 Matthew Moore)

I suppose that the same "excerpt only" policy we are using for Ass.Press goes for Buttociated Press.

I'd also like to offer up my term from 2004:

"Zogbyism"

I've used it frequently since the media's manipulation of election reporting.

We need to use Zogby's name as the left has used Senator McCarthy's.

Zogbyism will forever more be the term for a leftist media snowjob designed to sway public opinion.

example: "The Zogbyism in this campaign almost gave John Kerry an unearned victory."

"The media's rampant Zogbyism night after night with forged memos and DNC coordinated smears drove many conservative voters to the polls in a defiant statement of 'Hell, no! We want Bush!'"

[weegee]

And what about "Film Actors' Guild"?

The name of the organization (not the acronym) appears in the keyword of updates on the members as depicted onscreen in Team America.

I’ve always understood “Willard” to be Mitt Romney.

[Just A Nobody]

I am deeply saddened to see "ENEMEDIA" did not make the Lexicon. Huffington tried to steal the term a while back. Many FReepers now use the term and I have also seen it used on a number of other sites and blogs.

The term ENEMEDIA was born on FreeRepublic.com on October 31, 2005 during a late night brainstorming session.

You know what you forgot Islamic rage boy he is very popular among Freepers LOL!

I nominate the following pix:

The End is Nigh doggy is appropriate in many cases.

VP Cheney is self-explanatory.

And ANY post related to cBS deserves this posted to it! thanks, IncPen!

There is probably a newer one of these.
