Bennyboy Self-Made User	posted April 23, 2001 02:24 PM We all know the work "pork" As both a noun, and as a verb, but I think we should also use it as an adjective, as in: Damn that beeotch is PORK! Any takers? ------------------ Hey Alanis, define irony. Ok ok, now define bad luck! IP: Logged
Kailet Cereal Subunit	posted April 23, 2001 02:28 PM Nyergh: this is what I used to type when getting connected on irc many years ago. Or, y'know back in 1999 when I used the java applet on TalkCity that was pitifully unreliable. It was my catchphrase. A because everyone knew who I was no matter what nick I used, simply because of the word. Blargh: the noise used to symbolise boredom in another of the irc channels I frequent. Useful, but I don't like it so much. Nope. B Gesnerx: this actually came from the comic Elf Life and it's the noise between a snort and a snore. Used if a conversation is boring and sending you to sleep. B+ because it has an x in it. Indeed. I should be doing maths homework. Nyergh, blargh, gesnerx. IP: Logged
I_like_cheese Cereal Subunit	posted April 23, 2001 03:07 PM OK, OK, I'll jump in. Fnord - Those "In the know" will automatically approve of your cleverness. Those not "in the know" will pretend they didn't hear you. A great test to see who's With it. A Foo - On the endagered list. Used to be the favorite word of Computer Geeks, now just a good test to sort out Old Timers, even better than "XYZZY" since it's not as obvious. A- IP: Logged
cheezdanish Self-Made User	posted April 23, 2001 03:11 PM I've seen the Fnords! Panic attack! Good reference... I'd like to nominate "yoink" for this list, being as it's usable as a verb, and implies theft in any and all situations. As in: I yoinked the oreos. It's good fun! IP: Logged

RedTwo Self-Made User	posted April 23, 2001 04:15 PM I've just decided... I'm going to find a way to manufacture sporks with "fnord" printed on them. That way... There is no spork.

Bennyboy Self-Made User	posted April 23, 2001 06:34 PM Oh DUH!!!!!!! how could I ever forget: Munty! It's a combination of meaty and minty flavors. The U is used because the letter U is in every way superior, and stronger than either I, or EA. Also, as used by bellybutton afficinados (did I spell that right?) "Foof" which happens when a bellybutton is just barely out of view (d'oh) ------------------ Hey Alanis, define irony. Ok ok, now define bad luck! IP: Logged

Maimy Self-Made User	posted April 24, 2001 07:10 AM Eep: A good interjection for mild exclamatory usage. It's cute, too - and my beloved friend, TEO (), uses it frequently. And she's the smartest person ever born. So it has* to be good! It gets an A from me. Erm: Again, a fairly mild syllable used for delaying actual thought, and again it is used by my dear old friend TEO (who is, as you may have become aware, the smartest person ever born). It's a good bridge between perplexion () and responsive thought. And it's also cute. It gets a solid B. Weerie, for heavenssakes, kids! I can't believe this has not been included so far in this thread, and am so flummoxed by its omission that I can't even rate it. (But really. Y'all know what it gets!) ()Perplexion: A made-up term meaning "dilemma", but carrying with it a sense of immediacy and even intimacy. While a dilemma might be a fairly big deal, your perplexion is going to be a very specific situation/problem/question. It's generally resolved within five minutes. And, just for being so blessed simple, it gets another B. Porculent: My Beloved Ex made this up, for the feeling he got after eating several pounds of dinner at his mother's house. It's both a reference to the short-lived state of bloatedness after a large meal, and the longterm effects of same when taken on a repeated basis. Yep, it means "stuffed" and it also means "fat". Neither of which he was, of course ... but it's still a good word. I give this one an A-, partially because I still like the guy who created it. (*The Elfin One) IP: Logged
aslum Self-Made User	posted April 24, 2001 11:43 AM First off, are you talking about The Goblins of Flargh? As in the Tragic: The Addiction card? Second, Maimy, Perplexion IS a word... it's no more a made up word then Octopus or Blender. It means to be perplexed, or to be uncertain/confused.

Bombadil Self-Made User	posted April 24, 2001 11:49 AM How can anyone forget Toon's beloved... Shreck - A very clear and precise expletive. No matter that expletives are, by their very nature, clear and precise. Shreck has the heady bouquet of a portmanteau aged in oak barrels, but what words are its base? Shit? Heck? Shred? What? It ranks up there with a gallivanting razzinfrazzinrabbit mumble, which is all the more appropriate for Toon. I just hope it's a good movie.A ------------------ If at first you don't fricasee, fry, fry a hen. (Another edit? Shreck!)

Maimy Self-Made User	posted April 24, 2001 12:07 PM But Aslum, I've never found it in a dictionary! I've seen "perplexity" as the noun form, but never "perplexion". At that, I've never even encountered anyone who said it wasn't a sham term! Is sort of pleased, though her usage has always referred to the problem as the perplexion, not to the state of perplexedness Pant, pant Lordy, but that many Ps and Xs do start to look strange upon multiple typings!

Trench Self-Made User	posted April 24, 2001 09:58 PM You forgot 'feh.' Few words express disinterest slash disapproval more eloquently. Too much spittle, RedTwo? I just said 'flargh' for like a minute straight with nary a fleck upon my monitor. This proves that one, I have too much time on my hands, and two, flargh gets at least an A-. ------------------ Look! Elephant! IP: Logged

RedTwo Self-Made User	posted April 25, 2001 04:16 PM There are no fnords. You cannot see the fnord. If you don't see the fnord it can't hurt you.

Medieval Cow Self-Made User	posted April 25, 2001 04:31 PM Hrm: I like this word. It indicates deep, all-consuming thought about a topic that will only last for a few seconds. It gets extra points cause it has no vowels in it. A ------------------ "One of us is ignorant..... and it ain't me." -Brad Rules IP: Logged
ISNorden Scrappy Doo	posted June 13, 2001 10:06 AM As long as foreign words are acceptable for the ratings game, here's my own nomination: *Mys:* Swedish for "coziness", this word does evoke a soft, comfortable feeling when you say it out loud. At least one of my language students used to joke about it ("You are getting cozy...you are getting very, very cozy...mmmyyyyyysss, mmmyyyyyyssss...") A+ IP: Logged
tv's Spatch Shuttlecock	posted June 13, 2001 10:13 AM buh: someone told me "buh" is too too cute. I can't promise to say it more, but I do find myself using it in times of trial, consternation, or just plain befuddlement. Plus, 10 out of 10 Australians agree; it's too too cute. A IP: Logged
Acsumama Self-Made User	posted June 13, 2001 11:03 AM eh I picked this up from Dave Wheaty over IM. I like it a lot, but nobody ever seems to understand it. I have to explain, which seems somehow wrong to do when the meaning of the word is ambivalence and/or disinterest. C+ mm I'm convinced I picked this one up from Sandry when we first started talking over IM, but I never see her using it anymore. But it's handy to have another expression of agreement to go along with "I see" "ok" and "ah." B+ he he I refer here not to a "he he" of genuine laughter, but rather to the "he he" from the expression "he he, stupid kitty!" In my house, this is the all-purpose filler for any lull in the conversation. The drawback is that it must be said in the proper ludicrous babytalk voice that I would be embarrassed to utter around those who are not blood relatives.

Clickie Cereal Subunit	posted June 13, 2001 02:29 PM I think "Enh" expresses disinterest better than "eh" and also does not have the misreading potential of sounding like someone with a fake Canadian accent or something. IP: Logged
Treasure Self-Made User	posted June 14, 2001 08:37 AM Ra (as in Bloody Ra Bloody Ra Ra Ra), just because. B+ ------------------ "a plethora of cock is being blown." - Ogre IP: Logged

Algeh Self-Made User	posted June 15, 2001 01:58 AM Yuppers I went through a phase of saying this word a lot last year. Then I stopped. Then a week or two ago, it seemed like it was popping up at me from the strangest places. Everyone was using it. I'm not sure quite what to think of that. B-, since that's the kind of grade I tend to get when I'm not thinking... IP: Logged

youatemytoes Scrappy Doo	posted June 19, 2001 10:39 AM I find it very sad indeed that no one has heard of the most glorious word "narg". I thought everyone in the world knew of the glory of narg. I suppose I was wrong. IP: Logged
