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 - ??

FOR HISTORICAL REFERRENCE

You're close. The cowbell reference stems from a dance song featuring the voice of Christopher Walken, who breaks in intermittently and says, "I'm just not feeling this. It needs more cowbell" (with Walkenesque accent).

Later he says, "I've got an infection, and the only cure is . . . more cowbell." The music keeps beefing up the cowbell in the song with each interruption.

So, the Freeper joke is that, especially in Iraq, everyone thought they "knew" what we needed to do there. "What we need to do is . . . ."

That was satirized by some of us who think the military is, after all, competent by saying "What we need is more cowbell." Then someone posted a pic---although I don't know who it is in the pic.

I supect Thailand is the lastest term to go down in the lexicon of Freeperdom.

"SneakyPete outed DITHF"

Do you remember how? Didn't it have something to do with clusters or ribbons and what went with what?

[OB1kNOb]

Everybody, please stay clam.

[ReignOfError]

The word is "shibboleth." Every community has little markers that identify insdiers; I'd argue that's part of the definition of a community.

[mware]

Forgot to say why Thailand is in freeerdom. On a recent thread regarding the murder of Jon Bennet Ramsey, the heads up was someone was going to be arrested in Thailand for her death. The first three consecutive posts were all the same one word response, "Thailand?" (Just for posterity, I was the second Thailand with three ???.

Apologies, LEL. I misremembered the culprit. It was ClassyGreenEyedBlonde I was thinking of.

Is that 24 business hours comes from PJ Comics. regarding the forthcoming indictment of Carl Rove. First reports from DU were Rove would be indited in 24 hours after that time had elapsed, they changed it to 24 business hours.

We are still waiting.

[LexBaird]

We are still waiting.

Well, they never said consecutive business hours, did they?

I just got a chance to check out the video. That was a great skit!

[mware]

Actually I think there was that thing regarding Major Garrett in jeans too, but I dont want to have to go to confession with that sin again. Fr John is getting a little ticked off with my visuals.

Thanks, you've been very helpful. I've basically given up trying to keep track of all this. Rather, I've posted links to this thread and the Lexicon on my profile page for my future reference.

So, I guess I learned a lesson today, but it's been a very enjoyable one. You guys have had me cracking up all day. Thanks, I very much needed that.

[Tennessee_Bob]

So that's it? You're just going to give up?

What a looser!
