Shanking skimmers, we need a lexicon
Thursday, June 9th, 2005 - 9:52pm
I see a lot of terminology thrown about here. I knew shanking from before, but it seems to have fallen out of use since my return. Skimmers was new.
How about a lexicon of GWJ terms? Might make it easier for the newbies and even some of us who just missed some of the memos.

Sounds great. Look forward to reading it Bots.

Go for it, might be a good idea to make it a book page so we can all update it as new stuff comes along.

Er...I was hoping someone more knowledgable would want to do it. Though I'd do it if people wanted to help me out.
I am so not touching Goodgers though.

Goodgers - How some people pronounce GWJ, sounds naughty.
Skim (mer/ming) - Skimming over a threads posts and then posting something that someone 10 posts above you already mentioned but thanks anyway skimmer.

Don't be afraid to preface "skimmer" with "filthy"
A proper "cough" is linked to another thread with a redundant topic.
There are also some finger gunslingers aroundl. "tch tch"
light explosives now.....and..... ..now.
I think we should start using "Demosed" personally.
Anytime Demos mentions his ex or someone starts getting emotional the thread has beem "Demosed".*

It's amazing that someone is an Office Linebacker and doesn't know these things. No offense intended, I'm just saying Botswana must be approaching Lobster's 9 week to tag accomplishment! I mean, I didn't even know what leet speak was when I started lurking on this sight ...oh...guessing 8 months ago...it's been a very educational 8 months too

NINE weeks for Lobster? Holy gawd. I'm a year and thirty-three. Must... keep... padding.
Hey, padding. There's another term.

So Eezy are you saying SillyRabbit is a filthy skimmer?

You seem to have misspelled "paddling" there. Pervert!

So, if someone makes a post, which is indentical to another post in the same thread, that technically can't be a *cough*...they would just be a skimmer? Is a *cough* only legal for other-thread posts?
I'm guilty of skimming in this case...passed right over that bold red linkie. I blame it on the fact that the post started with the word "goodgers"

Actually, I was at Office Linebacker or better when I was posting as Jason O to.
Now I have had a sudden increase in participation because I am inbetween assignments at work and really have nothing better to do. This place has been something of a last bastion between myself and boredom.
Shanking I knew from before but it seems to have fallen out of disuse until someone mentioned stabbing in another thread. It was pointed out that nobody worthy of GWJ does something so demeaning as "stabbing".
But skimmer is new to me, or at least since I returned from a sabbatical of a few months. *cough* seems to have been around for awhile, and is a helluva lot more polite than what the they do at other sites.

He meant padding as in padding his post count. Paddling a post count?
Now now, after I replied to SillyRabbit I thought about adding a 'filthy skimmer' but what the hey, we've all done it and there are far worse abuses - my reposting of the Adam Sandler video thread could be considered one of them if your name is Spunior.
Update - Titles could get their own FAQ, with the order and number along with a description of how at 1000 you get a title but your peers on the site get input before you choose.

GWJ - A bunch of mindless jerks who'll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes.
Curiously enough a copy of the Encyclopedia Galactica which fell through a time hole from 4000 years in the future describes GWJ as 'a bunch of mindless jerks who were the first against the wall when the revolution came.'
loose/loosing - the alternative lifestyle spelling of lose/losing.
intensive purposes - the alternative lifestyle phraseology for all intents and purposes.
f'ing up my christmas - an exclamation of dismay at the sight of a beautiful woman, more commonly as 'she's f'ing up my christmas, biznitch!'
