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 - ??

That was her last post, so that will probably be an inactive account forever or until it gets deleted.

I've included the word as it appears to be catching on. However, I expanded the definition. Here's how it will appear:
Clinquant - Used as another term for the Clintons, those of similar character, or expressing such characteristics. Among the meanings of the word were: fake, cheat, sham, fraud, phony, impostor. Originally proposed and posted by beyond the sea.

I think I'm going to call this a done deal. I will post the '2006 FR Lexicon' in about an hour.

Close your tags ! ! !

IIRC, that was eschode's old trick to trash threads... the open font color = white tag. Nobody could see responses from that point forward, unless some HTML-conversant member (cough cough) came in to close it. It's not a problem with the new tag filters that were implemented in... '01 or '02?

Nope, that's a cat --the one I am referring to is a Pekingese puppy that looks very mean and the caption is "He makes me very angry". I think it is hilarious that a little puppy looks so angry. But, thanks.
