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 - ??

Don't forget "opus", where a mad freeper leaves Free Republic by making an ass out of himself by whining and bitching instead of just leaving quietly.

And we never, never would want to leave out *THUD*

Never seen Spork Weasel or ziggy in the 6 years I've been around.

But VIKING KITTIES better be on the list!!

[rlmorel]

Of Course...How can ANYONE forget the "Viking Kitties".

Surely that is a Free Republic origin that must be mysterious to outsiders...

[dinasour]

LOL!

Somehow I just knew the gang would find this thread.

DANG IT! YOU BEAT ME BY THREE SECONDS!!!!!

MAY YOUR BEEBER STUNE YOU WHILE YOU EAT CHEESE WITH MOOSES.

Scarmable!

Please give me the history etc. I'm guessing another misspelled word by an excited Freeper.

[dinasour]

Also "All your base are belong to us"

Not not really a FReeperism, either

[Big Red Clay]

Just some clarification. As a hugh fan of America's greatest rock band, I must state for the record that no cow bell has EVER been played on a Van Halen record.
With that said, I will return to my hole.

Thanks, I'll correct that one!

Funny thing about the Viking Kitties. I've actually had a couple of people ask me if I've seen some "cute little Viking Kittie video" that is floating around on the 'net. I said I haven't seen it but I've got a good idea where it came from!

[Pukin Dog]

How could this thread exist without the famous "STFU"?

I mean...come on!
