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 - ??
Clam - As in, "Everybody remain clam!"
Also remember Deep in the heart of the Hurtgen Forest guy. Smokes cigars, as I remember. Who remembers how he tripped himself up and who outed him? And who bought the cigars?
FReeper lore lives on. Should be a thread just on lore.
Florida lawyer guy who wants to sue everyone. Jack Thompson?
I know. A FReeper lore quiz. One hundred questions. The winner gets a new screen name for one year. King or Queen Lore and can't get banned for a year.
That'll keep the search engine whizzin'.
Or LongElegantLegs (iirc). Who turned out to be a guy troll.
bump for later enjoyment! :^)
Bookmark & BTTT !!!
I think a few of them there moonbats might live in in Dingleberry or Belrung, Florida.
You haven't even covered the old stuff like ASH ALERTS, Eagles Up, Rivero/TinFoil Beanie, White House Basement Posters and Eschoir................not to mention CGEB
Bump for later.
Anyone know the origin of "moonbat"?
Not that there's anything wrong with that...
FOTFLMAO!! BURN!
Bull Squeeze..
Sneakypete... outed DITHF.... CAL was so upset which caused Sneakypete to get banned prior to his completion of bring down DITHF. SP called in a friend of his who signed up and finalized the event.
Quidam.. or whatever the spelling was sure was an interesting character also.
I think you mean CGEB (Classy Green Eyed Blonde).
DEMS is a freeper term used in most MSM now.
I think Confetti Man bought the cigars.
SneakyPete outed DITHF
Jack Thompson was the lawyer
Quidam was the "insider" who some thought was Drudge
