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 - ??

Anyone else here remember DeepInTheHurtgurenForest?

The guy who made up this long, glorious war record, then got found out here on FR, and then kicked out?

Or how about that other mysterious guy during the impeachment trials, who claimed to be some big insider? He'd say all these cryptic things about, "The gray suits are about to walk up the hill (to ask for the Prez to resign)"?

Anybody remember that guy?

I remember FR when there'd be just like...25 threads per day. OR LESS...!

I think there is a correction on the Shower Pictures definition.

I was on that thread and here is my recollection. There was some sort of incident on a plane or something. Some woman posted that she was worried about her husband because he was flying that day. She then proceeded to say that she would check back later after she took a shower.

We all wondered how much she cared about her husband if she was off to take a shower in the middle of a "crisis" where her husband could be in danger - it was a question of priorities.

After that, any time some sort of breaking news takes place, especially if it looks like it could be terrorist related, someone will post that they are off to take a shower or just post a shower picture.

Bunny/pancake - your statement makes no sense. A reference to this picture:

And, of course, any mention of pancakes will lead inevitably to a discussion of Rachel Corrie (AKA St. Jemima)

Search for FReeRepublic Lexicon or go to my profile page and you'll find the updated (correct) shower definition.

Or LongElegantLegs (iirc). Who turned out to be a guy troll.

Oh, yeah. I remember that guy. He really had a lot of us going. He was pretty good at that sort of thing.

Oh, that's right... It was classygreeneyedblonde. I've kind of blotted out all memories of those times... (for the obvious reasons...)

Found the Spork Weasel Beer pic while looking through an old FReeper lexicon thread.

Consider it STOLEN, and thanks!

Cheers!
