As one who’s on an extended vacation over here, I’ve found that there are too many confusing acronyms and buzzwords over here. May I offer these terms to add to your vocabulary so that we can understand what the $%^& you’re talking about:
Nolestorming
A group of “twisted single guys” and “repressed married old guys” hanging around a virtual message board all day long discussing the moral corruption of FSU, who was responsible and, on occasion, other more worthy topics such as Elle MacPherson.
Seagull Poster
A Poster who flies in, makes a lot of noise, poops over everything and then leaves.
Salmon Day
The experience of spending an entire day swimming upstream on the VS by posting logical thoughts only to get screwed by a seething Lava Lizard Post and die in the end.
CLP
Career Limiting Post - Used among microserfs to describe ill-advised activity. Trashing “The VS In Crowd” is a serious CLP. (Also known as CLB - Career Limiting Behavior)
Adminisphere
The rarefied organizational layers of the VS beginning just above the rank and file. Decisions that fall from the
adminisphere are often profoundly inappropriate or irrelevant to the problems they were designed to solve.
Dilberted
To be exploited and oppressed by your Webmaster. Derived from the experiences of Dilbert, the geek-in-hell comic
strip character. "I've been dilberted again. The old man revised the specs for the fourth time this week."
Flight Risk
Used to describe Posters who are suspected of planning to leave the VS soon and turn into morally corrupt cretins with nothing better to do. (See Must be over 18 to enter)
404
Someone who's clueless or chooses to be clueless when it suits them. (RE: any post from Banker Nole Or Lava Lizard). From the World Wide Web error message "404 Not Found," meaning that the requested document could not be located. "Don't bother asking him . . . he's 404, man."
Ohnosecond
That minuscule fraction of time in which you realize that you've just made a BIG mistake.
Percussive Maintenance
The fine art of whacking the crap out of the key board, in UPPER CASE LETTERS (See KILLER GATOR ATTACK), to make a point about how worthless the Noles are.
Assmosis
The process by which some Posters seem to absorb success and advancement by kissing up to Mud and the rest of the Inner Circle.
