The Poly Dictionary Suffering from ads?

I don't know if there is another one of these, but it's good for a laugh.

Time to post and define Poly words. Mild digs only please - no flames.

Fez verb. - 1. to reduce a thread to a shambles of insults, flames and misunderstandings while simultaneously increasing its amusment quotient tenfold. e.g. "this thread is Fezzed". 2. To eject a politically left leaning person from a high-flying helicopter. e.g. If Che doesn't watch out Fez will F. him. Origin, unknown.

Boshkoed adjective - to be in a state of such drunkeness as to lose one's normal typing facility. e.g. "I was so Boshkoed last night that when I tried to type the word "count", Ming banned me." Origin. Shi's sig.

Nedaverse noun - a private world in which the norms of reality are inverted. Origin. GePap claims to have invented it, but he's a notorious, self aggrandizing liar - so believe what you will.

MichaeltheGreat. proper noun. A benevolent and omniscient deity.

Ming proper noun. An equal and opposite MichaeltheGreat.

Solver Hall. proper noun. A place no one has ever been and no one ever wants to go to.

BAM noun - 1. a bald assertion, a statement made without justification, in blatant contradiction to generally accepted facts. e.g. "'Nope the [US Libertarian Party] is not for free market' is a BAM." 2. one who makes a bald assertion. 3. Fez. Origin. Boshko's nickname for Fez as Bald Assertion Man, or BAM.

DanS: To edit a post while others are replying. I had a brilliant rebuttal until you DanS'ed your post, you sorry lump.

Berzerker noun - a heavily armed and fearless warrior who is invulnerable to criticism.

Skanky Burns noun, coll. - slang for gonorrhea. e.g. "I never expected Skanky Burns."

Park Avenue noun - 1. notorious Poly gay pick up point. e.g. "Been down on Park Avenue have you, son?" 2. A void which preceded matter, and endured after matter came to exist; an absence of common sense, wit or respect for human melanin content or culture. A cultural wasteland full of out of town shopping centres, reality television shows and warm beer, hemmed in by shell suits and lottery tickets. Deriv. Park Avenue v.i. To attach inferiority to people's geographical origins, nationalities or skin colour, usually through complete ignorance.

Asher: To state authoritatively the superiority of one system over another by overbearing the reader with acronyms and numbers that only 13 other people in the world comprehend. Tell me, does this product sheet seem Ashered to you? "The new R2D2 product line has a 5.5349 GhZ system bus that is capable of 4,459 ThD/sec, a 1999X4535 MpZ holographic display, and a C3PO annoyance factor of below 2.54, far lower than our competitors."

Slowwhand noun: 1. A substance that explodes when in contact with Sava

MrFun (adj.) Not funny. Deriv. - Mr Funism, noun. A post consisting entirely of you quoting yourself in the hopes that somebody will respond to you the second (or third, or fourth, etc.) time. Also called "Pulling a Mr Fun."

Sava: To interject a bizarre array of smilies into semi-lucid comments punctuated by oversized words in ALL-CAPS, especially to such a degree as to make the reader determine that the author is a tract writer for Chick Publications.

kenobi v.i. 1. To argue relentlessly the same disproven point until all available oxygen has been used up and all human lifeforms extinguished; to ignore points of logic raised by others; to bring up irrelevancies in the hope of shaking off pursuit; to live in vain hope. 2. To imagine that 'all men are created equal' means only persons of the male gender, and certainly not homosexualists, and not the daughters of Eve neither; for as St. Jerome wrote: 'Nothing is so unclean as a woman in her periods; what she touches she causes to become unclean'. Yea, verily, as it was written, so mote it be.

Religionista n. Adherent of one of many strange mystery cults (poss. dating back to Orphic and Egyptian cults) which ascribes wonderful powers to supernatural beings with names such as Great Walrus of Love, the Flaming Carrot, Bonzo Dog Doodah Band, and seeks to deny civil rights to others based on non-belief in these creatures. Also: n. One who refuses to recognise the non-belief in supernatural beings as a 'belief', classifying same as merely an 'opinion', or a 'whimsical notion'

Libertarianize verb - To endlessly parse a thread until it degenerates into something illegible to everyone but libertarians and anarchists. Shortly afterwards the thread generally dies, not because the argument is resolved and one side wins, rather one or more of the participants tire and lose interest.

The correct term is BAMed not Fezzed and was coined well before Giancarlo changed his login to Fez.

Nice one, I was just this minute thinking that something like this would be quite handy (it's a slow day, alright?)

Could someone here explain what it means to DanS someone? I've seen it used a few times but can't work out what it means.

DanS = To post, then quickly edit your post while someone is replynig to you, thus changing your post with getting an editted statement in the post and making your quoter looks like a fool.

Boshko, Fezzing is spamming a thread, Fez style. BAMing is different, and is to make a statement with no source.
