Blogosaurus

Edited by ShooterB - Last updated January 2007 

Below is a collection of terms which are unique to our great blogosphere.  Some are made-up words, while others are words that have been maliciously stripped of all meaning.  In any event, bloggers take great pride in their savage lingo.  Credits are listed for some of them.  However, origins of a few remain a mystery.  Feel free to add any terms, phrases, or general #### that I may have missed.  Hope you enjoy:

This was very funny and entertaining. Know any good doctors for a case of #### trickle? It's for my friend-he wants to know.

Holy dead otter that was funny!!!

This should be posted by Fox Sports as a guide for all new bloggers.

I must give credit to Hogfan for the Nyquilla Sunrise.

I came up with the less popular “Chunky Godzilla Nyquilla” an adaptation or your “Chunky Snakebite” only with 4 oz of Nyquil.

You owe me a keyboard, this one is full of coffee and cracker crumbs (big Sally was sitting on my lap while I was reading it)

Here's another one for you:

Doogie (origin The_Dan/NeoAC)

1. The nickname of child M.D. Douglas Howser.
2. The name of the technique used by NeoAC to get hot underaged Canadian strippers to come to FlyingPig's roasts.

Thanks, Ricko. Tell "your friend" to see:

Dr. Rob Urdignity

Neo, thanks man. And I wasn't necessarily talking about you...lol. There is that Dan guy, too.

ShooterB

Miracle, sorry about that keyboard...but glad to entertain you. I hope your chair is sturdy enough to handle Big B.

So it was Hogfan on the Nyquila Sunrise. I actually decided to hear from everyone, and then revise this. Can keep adding too. Not sure how I missed the other Nyquil drinks. But I'll add some more later.

We could give a freshman orientation for any new bloggers. Maybe a little hazing, too.

Neo, like I said...I'll probably keep adding to this. Maybe revising every month or so. I think adding "Doogie" is a necessity.

ShooterB - Simply stated, thsi is one of the best blog posts I have ever read. Hysterically funny and poignant.

Seriously well done mate. 6 comments, now 7 is a mockery... but then again, more people have read the latest Danielle Steele than The Catcher in Rye.

Can't teach brains, class or taste. Sadly, stupid is the only inherent trait that stands the test of time... cockroaching itself from generation to generation.

ShooterB

NSF, long time no see. I sincerely appreciate the kind words. Means a lot coming from a respected blogger like yourself.

Catcher in the Rye? Is that about the Pirates power-hitting catcher prospect playing AAA ball?

OK, maybe not...

Thanks again, glad to see you're still around.

I had to order a special chair from Herman Miller. It has the hydraulic lift from an auto garage with a base made from a boat anchor.

I continually have to adjust the width of the arm rests, Sally keeps winning “Frozen Twinkie” contest.

Also the NyqaPipple (Nyquil and Ripple)

NyqaChampipple (Nyquil Modified version of Fred Sanford’s favorite drink, mixture of Champaign and Ripple)

Apple flavored Nyquil (Hogfans garage cured version of the popular cold remedy)

Miracle, can I order one of those chairs? Bertha's broken so many that we just have a bunch of bean bags for living room furniture. Unfortunately, everytime she sits on one...it pops. If 3 #### beauties sit down at once, it simulates an indoor blizzard with all the bean bag stuffing flying around.

Almost forgot about the NyqaPipple. Any drink with Ripple in it is OK in my book.

Socal...that's one of my faves too. Smoke invented that a long time ago, but it's still engrained in the memory.

Shooter, I'm down for hazing all new members. Smoke can do "Crossing The Desert", FlyingPig can enact "The Unblinking Eye", Miracle's in charge of "The Wreck of the Hesperus" and since you are the Grand Master, you can issue the final test, "The Paddling of the Swollen #### with Paddles."

Great post, shooter.

Here's another one:

Anal-glaucoma - A term to be used when you can't see your #### in a certain circumstance or situation.

ShooterB
Oct 23, 2006
12:27 PM
Thanks Phoenix. And I can't wait to get that card in the mail. They do accept it at all major retail establishments, right?

And thanks to you for such inspiring & unique terminology.

Neo, that sounds good. How about the one they do on "Old School" off of the balcony, to build trust?

ShooterB
Oct 23, 2006
12:32 PM
Thanks, MeanD. And I think that term will work. Could also be used when one can't see out of their ####...because their head has been up there for so long. Mostly applies to referees, and a lot of delusional franchise owners (see Matt Millen).

What about "OUI"( French word casually used by North American Folks expressing their validation to positive endeavors...synonym of "YES"..It was also used as an orgasmic expression.
What about "Barbancourt RUM"( an unique SPIRIT brewed in West Indies specially Haiti, Martinique and Guadeloupe...made of a sugar cane and gazoline( I am kidding!!)
What about "GRILLOTS"( a seasoned ####y dish made of dried pork skin made in Haiti)...perhaps similar to grill tofu..\
What about the all concept of posting FRENCH COMMENTS on a 99.9%Blogland English-speaking bloggers.

Socal, I think that I already messed that up simply by posting it here...according to terms and conditions.

But if they make money off of it, I better get one hell of a Christmas card.

Papi...french words are allowed. "OUI" sounds more like Australian to me, but what do I know. How about the Irish "AYE"?

See, bengals...that's why you're here. Can't believe I forgot that one.

I'll revise this at some point, already have several in mind to add. I will highlight any new additions, and post a link to them.

Thanks for catching that.

Hey will Nyquil freeze?

I have some NyqaPipple pops in the deep freeze, just hope their ready for the game tonight.

They only sell the lift attached to the chair, you have to provide your own boat anchor.

And you know how big girls like to play with hydraulics so don’t skimp and get the deluxe model, go for the one rated “Rosie O Barr Jones” (wait she lost weight and just looks freaky now) “Rosie O Barr Alley”

By the way, Shooter, I think you may have jumped the gun on the Cardinals bye week prediction. I just saw an early line for the Nov. 5th games. The Cards are only favored by 4 1/2 over bye. Not exactly a sure thing.

ShooterB
Oct 23, 2006
2:14 PM
Chux, if & when I revise...it will contain the contents. Although, I'm not even sure if I know. I'm confused by it all.

Miracle, yes Nyquil will freeze. Just don't ask me how I know that.

I also have a boat anchor. Have never owned a boat, just thought I should have an anchor.

Rosie O Barr Alley? Wow! Isn't that the same rating that they use for construction site elevators?

Ricko, you could argue that any week in which Dennis Green is their coach...that they are really losing. So I may take those Vegas odds against them.

Miracle
Oct 23, 2006

And we’re talking “Carnival Cruise Line” anchors, not those small personal watercraft anchors.

Could the boat anchor and a bottle of Nyquil be some of the contents of “Shooters Lunchbox”?

Oh yea....don't forget the Bloody NyZima (cause pig starts the "Pig Roasts" so early)

2 parts Bloody Mary mix

ShooterB: you da man! You do win the comedic genius award again. Of course you know the old one from the dictionary: "anal retentive" as in he is so full of #### that his eyes are brown now, or his hair has turned from gray to dark brown. OR how about "tweener", once know as tain't as in.....

Miracle, I once visited that Queen Mary ship in Long Beach...and just took a spare anchor they had for that ship. Guy sold it to me for $2. At the time, I didn't really need it...but I figured it was a smart investment. However, pulling it all the way home in my little red wagon was tough.

Chux...we might be able to do a spinoff of this, and call it the "Pig Roaster's Bartender Bible". Where is that splendid swine today anyway?

Shooter, Extremely helpful and funny post here- adds much depth to the regular talent filled blogs here for a newb to the blognation for certain!

Never have to wonder what a "####" is again...

This should qualify for an hour or two towards some community service to get you out of your sentence as a life long Philly fan...

Peace,

Ricko...Cardinal fans deserve a good team. Or they should at least allow them to live inside that new stadium. Pitch a tent on the 50 yard line, and catch some sun when they wheel the grass outside. Just feel sorry for the guy that falls and gets stuck underneath it when they roll it back in.

That's where Dr K went! I'll be damned!

Fuzz, wow...a comedic genius award, and my membership card all in the same day. Who could ask for more?

LJ...see, that makes it all worth it. I no longer wanted anyone to be baffled when they heard us idiots babbling about a ####, or Big Bertha.

Glad this counts towards my community service. Now if they would just let me take off this ankle bracelet that shocks me every time I try to leave my house.

Trouser trump--- what the? No...you know what? I don't want to know...

Clearly I'm out of touch...which isn't always a bad thing.

I need to coin one though...my friend used to say, "Pray to Olerud that we win!" But Olerud doesn't do it for me...how about..."Thank Reyes we've got Shooter and his blogosaurus!"

Thank Wright? Thank Piazza?

Good list, shooter. I'll think of one....if it kills me!

hogfan, the fat signal is a must...

Apple #### tarts...well, maybe I forgot that on purpose...but consider it added.

Carolyn, some things are better left unsaid.

And the Blogosaur wouldn't be complete without an addition by CarolynT. I was going to include "verbose", but then realized that you didn't necessarily invent that word. So think, Carolyn...think really hard.

I've got one for you.

"Special delivery" - when CarolynT fantasizes about Mike Piazza delivering pizza to her doorstep

Will that work?
