Here's what I have so far. Incorrigible, please fill in any blanks on the "Fusion" story (it will go in the lore section).

Under The Bus - Reference to Obama's propensity to toss anyone politically inconvenient, no matter if family or relation ("throw grandma under the bus"), under public transport for political gain and to further his populist credo. Typically, after an ethically, or politically problematic ally was tossed under said vehicle, Obama would follow up with an obligatory "this is not the [insert name] I knew" (such as "this is not the Tony Rezko I knew". Variants included: "Throw [insert name] under the bus" and "It's getting crowded under the bus".

Not the [insert name] I knew - see "Under The Bus" in the Glossary

Holy Carp! - misspelling of Holy Crap! by Fudd Fan (who turned himself in), typically seen on the Mark Levin threads (thanks Fudd Fan)

Operation Chaos - Political operation managed by Rush Limbaugh via his radio show. During the 2008 Presidential Election primaries, conservatives switched parties to vote for Hillary Clinton, thereby extending the race and infighting between the Clinton and Obama camps. There were two objectives to the operation: 1. Create chaos in the Democrat party via extending the emotional infighting and 2. Ensure criticism and scrutiny of Obama as John McCain, during the primaries, had made clear he would not engage in attacks on Obama; additionally, the media was in the tank for Obama and actively deflecting any criticism by non-Democrats (and some Democrats - Bill Clinton) as "racist". See also Chaos! in the Glossary.

Chaos! - Term coined due to Operation Chaos (see Glossary). Typically refers to particularly damaging liberal infighting and, less frequently, strategic acts by conservatives to stoke the infighting.

Bitter clinger - Anyone who cares about the Second Amendment, religion, and immigration law. References a closed-door fundraiser speech he gave to elites in San Fransisco where he stated (regarding small town Pennsylvanians and economic hardship): "...So it’s not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations..."

Snoq - misspelling of Tony Snow that stuck after it was posted on a daily thread headline. RIP Tony, thanks for everything.

Guilty/Not Guilty (Guilty. Not Guilty.) - dedicated juvenile FReepers require pictures of female criminals (especially the saucy school teachers) in order to determine their guilt or innocence. "Not guilty" started out as a term used to identify female statutory rapists with an attractive appearance. It has evolved into a term for any attractive female. (thanks, Huck).

PUMA - Party Unity My A**. Reference to Hillary Clinton supporters actively opposing the Democrat party and Barack Obama's nomination following the bitter 2008 Presidential Primary fight (see "Operation Chaos" and "Chaos!" in the Glossary). Many threatened to cross over and vote for McCain or another party. The group established a website entitled "People United Means Action" at pumapac.org.

PIC Rule. Rule number 6 (replace redundant rule) - If your post mentions Sarah "Barracuda" Palin, you must post a pic of her and/or her husband Todd (for the FReepettes).

Typical White Person - After stating his grandmother was racist, during the 2008 Presidential Primary, Barack Obama describer here as a "typical White Person". Now used as a tongue-in-cheek term by FReepers.

Fusion - FReeper who turned out to be a fraud. His dramatic prose and lofty predictions regarding the Balkans and Russia earned him scorn and derision. He was eventually banned but he had his fans! Fusion presented himself as one with key political connections and in the know but may be better described as "a senior spymaster for the Albanian desk back at the circus" (see Fusion's Fractured Fairy Tale. (thanks, Incorrigible)
