What’s a “stuned beeber”?

Two threads that will help explain:

1. The thread that started "stuned beeber":   Would like freeper help

2. A thread that explains FR language and lore:   The 2008 FreeRepublic Lexicon (Lingo, Dictionary, Lore Handbook

Welcome to Free Republic, FRiend.

Thanks, Nam Vet! I support anything YOU do here and I stand better enlightened. Now I think we should start a thread on most over used words in the radio/tv media like “look”, “at the end of the day”, and misuse of the word “literally”. :-)

Maybe something more subtle?

[shibumi]

Just funnin' with you, Miss Machine. (And I do remember you. And I don't think you're "Mestup" at all - at least not so far.....)

[MestaMachine]

I know, shibumi. That’s why I posted back to ya! if I’da thot u were series, I wood have stayed silenter.

[shibumi]

Very few things are more silent than wood.

[MestaMachine]

None other. What I don’t get is why. I mean, like, what didididideye do to deserve that?
No matter. It really IS one of the things that bothers me sometimes. Why do people do that?

[MestaMachine]

Tell that to algore.

[FDNYRHEROES]

I’m with you.
If ever these terms were banned from FR, it would be hugh, and extremely series. In fact, I’d be stuned, despite being unaffected by most beebers.
Now, if someone would please hold muh beer, I have gun to clean.

Oh, the Hugh Manatee...All your base are belong to us...Someone set us up the bomb...

My pleasure.

Pit bull posts.

But, but, the people must be alerted to the dangers of this horrible breed! They're a threat to the children!

That’s screen saver material! My dog would love it.

[Nam Vet]

How about another couple of fingernail on the blackboard expressions?

Sooner, rather than later.

and

"Reaching out " to somebody. Hell, I just talk to people, if I have to reach out it's to give'em a poke in the nose! ;^)

Geez, I was so proud of that one the first dozen times.

Cheers!

I can’t resist this one!

Posts I skip with the first few words...

1. Anything that starts with “But.. but.. but”. (Nothing more annoying or OLD, and TRITE.) It shows a decided lack of intelligence or creativity.

2. “Bush’s Fault.” So tired. Even more so when Bush was still POTUS. Not “quite” so bad now.

3. “No more RINO’s!” FFS, get a grip! It’s morons like you that got Obama elected. Point in case: Our “unprecedented” victory tonight no thanks to you eejits!

4. “Sarah!” I dearly love Sarah Palin, but you Sarah eejits are as bad as the Obama eejits. You do her a great disservice. As much as I want to see her elected, you are making her look stupid by giving her credit for anything and everything good that happens. With that said, “Go Sarah!”

5. “Rudy is a cross-dressing RINO”. When no one else had the guts to stand up for GW and the war, distancing themselves, Rudy was there doing our dirty work, yet we show him zero respect.

6. Anything quoting scripture. I skip these because they become a scripture quoting battle to see who knows the most scripture. I find this to be incredibly silly, but I’m a Presbyterian not a Baptist. Forgive me. I’m secure enough in my beliefs that I don’t feel that I have to impress others with my knowledge of scripture.

7. “Baby killers!” I hate abortionists as much as the next person, but when interjected upon another issue that I personally feel to be more important such as Obama’s quest to destroy the entire country... it annoys me. Why don’t you mention African genocide caused by abortion? Make some valid points FFS! Or better yet, stay on topic.

8. “IBTZ” A few years ago, this was fun and meant something. These days, we go after those that could and would help our cause. We are our own worst enemy.

9. The rules. The rules that we must show pics when a woman is mentioned. How about the same chant for the guys when they are mentioned? Scott’s pic is a good start!

10. This should have been listed much higher. When Jim Robinson makes a post, all the butt-kissing posts that follow. Sometimes I agree with him. Most times, in fact. But I’ll be damned if I’ll make a post for the simple reason of kissing fanny. I suspect even Jim finds these posts to be annoying.

I realize I have the numbers backwards in keeping with the traditional Letterman top ten, but I am a backwards kinda gal! I think for myself and not one to follow the conventions.

Besides... I’m drunk on the win tonight! Our hard wark paid off. We have demoralized the dhimmicrats and Obama. Isn’t that what this fabulous site is all about?
