The MoFo Glossary

[Yoda]

It's baaaaaack (http://www.movieforums.com/community/glossary.php).

[Sir Toose]

I forgot about T2.

I'll have to poke around on that thing... I bet we have some terms to add.

[Caitlyn]

Thanks Yoda... :D

Especially under D ... ;)

[Golgot]

Thanks Yoda... :D





Especially under D ... ;)

I was amazed there was nothing there :)

[Sexy Celebrity]

Oh my, I hope the MoFo Glossary gave you consent. :eek:

[Sedai]

Oh my, I hope the MoFo Glossary gave you consent. :eek:

How about for A:

AFK - away from keyboard


ciao

[Yoda]

How about for A:

AFK - away from keyboardGenerally, I would agree with you, but "AFK" isn't very applicable for a forum. Nobody posts just to let others know that they're stepping away for a moment. It'd make more sense in the context of a chat room or an IM, in my opinion.

Keep the suggestions coming, though. The more esoteric and MoFo-specific, the better.

[Caitlyn]

I love the 'Random Glossary Term' feature... but would love to see some new ones…

Any ideas?

I still think we need a new one in the D's… ;)

[r3port3r66]

How about (no indication to you Cait'--just a suggestion;)):

DOTM = Diarreah Of The Mouth. Yes I know the "O" & "T" shouldn't be included, but it looks better than just DM...

[blibblobblib]

How about "Holy Helmet" Its an exclamation of suprise or bewilderment i use on a daily basis, and i think more people shoulduse, it rolls off the tongue nicely i feel. My nan is very fond of it indeed.

EXAMPLES:

"What in the Holy Helmet are you doing in that cucumber field Sister Mary Joseph?"

or

"Holy Helmet i think i'm touching cloth."

[MovieMaker5087]

What about anywho, Chris? It has the same meaning as anyways, only a different prononciation and I often use it.

Just a suggestion.

[Yoda]

The glossary is more for listing inside jokes and phrases used often on MoFo; kind of a way to document the various gags and fads that have come and gone, as well as get newbies up to speed on just what the heck we're talking about. ;) Most of the entries, you'll notice, wouldn't work offline, or even on another site. That is -- albeit loosely -- the criteria that I try to use.

I do use anywho often on MoFo.

[OG-]

I'm pretty sure anywho isn't some word incapable of being decyphered by your average MoFo reader, but that's just me....

I require a section dedicated to me...

[blibblobblib]

I often use the word 'flagellum' and 'the'. If 'anywho' is going in they sure are.

[Nitzer]

"Nitzer, The" - Someone everyone should love, respect, and hail, for the world would be a dull place without him.

[MovieMaker5087]

How about:

TPM- An acronym for The Phantom Menace
ROTS- An acronym for Revenge of the Sith
SW- An acronym for Star Wars
OR
ANH- An acronym for A New Hope
ESB- An acronym for The Empire Strikes Back
ROTJ- An acronym for Return of the Jedi

Just a couple of suggestions.

[SamsoniteDelilah]

frogging - gerund form of "to frog" a form of free-associative posting which tends to leave people scratching their heads, but smiling. See also: A_L-ing, Gustavoing.

peppering the newbs - a form of warm welcome which doubles as prep for a Barbara Walters interview. Reigning Grand Champion of Newb Peppering: Aniko

blib - v. blibbed, blibbing; to laugh to the point of mild incontinence. Poor Caitlyn blibbed so hard at Sedai's joke, she had to go change her socks.

shizzification - n. the act of modifying one's speech in a ghetto-tastic manner.

nebbitize - v. a thread has been nebbitized when at least 5% of the posts are happy little pictures.


more as they occur...

[SamsoniteDelilah]

pike - v. piked, piking To post in a movie game in such a way that even Roger Ebert would be stumped for an answer. Ironically, the one person who is never piked: Holden Pike.

[Mose]

Not sure if anyone else uses it, but it seems to be needed as of late...

Reputation Whore - Members who beg for positive reputation points... See Uncle Rico :)

[Caitlyn]

I like that one... :p ... and I think a couple of Sammy's fit the bill too... :yup:

Yes. I like this one. There seems to be a lot of these on this forum of late, spesh in the User Feedback thread...

[undercoverlover]

i definately think we should have something along the lines of 'being piked'

being piked is recieving a neg rep, as many of us have, from the delectible holden.

Used in the context of 'oh dude i just got piked!'

[nebbit]

nebbitize - v. a thread has been nebbitized when at least 5% of the posts are happy little pictures. .

:yup: :love: :kiss:

[r3port3r66]

Problem: TPAM is not in the glossary! Why not...Chris?.

[r3port3r66]

Perhaps I should clear something up about my last post on this thread. Nebb's gave me a positive rep point because she thinks that I endorse her name being added to the glossary. I do endorse the word "nebbitize" being added, but my main point was that the word "TPAM" (The Person Above Me) is not in the glossary at this time. Acccording to Yoda "TPAM" meets all the criteria for a word that should be added--or should have been a long time ago.
