Glossary update 2011

It came to the attention of some of us yesterday in one of the hilarious resurrected threads that revolved around poster reports, that the woody and highly descriptive term Triumvirate of Gash is remarkably not in the Glossary. So here's your chance. Perhaps it will motivate the Glossarians - Zog and Piefellow - to instigate an update - or not. Or Fromage will be motivated to include some suggestions. Whatever.

I hereby suggest:

Triumvirate of Gash (humourous meaning to be inserted by Danny - if you will please Mon-keh?)

Arsecloning - the act of creating threads with a very similar title to an existing one.

BELFOHL and YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.



These should also be added.

It's Belfohl™.

The ™ is essential.

Trademark, when I sober up, I'll remember that.

Soz.

From memory (and bear in mind there have been several hundred, even thousand alcohol units consumed since Glossary v1.0, so my memory may not be entirely reliable) there was an objection from someone about Triumvurate of Gash due to some sort of sexist overtone. Or maybe I imagined that. Or hallucianted it.

Anyway, given that qunt seems to have entered accepted usage, and also that my motivation towards regular glossary maintenance is about the same as Jay's motivation towards regular forum maintenance, it's not really my call...

and I move at the pace of a snail, too (and we're no longer able to do glossary moderation as and when, anyway)

update suggestions will happen, sometime in the next year or so (sooner if someone else does it) ... this seems as good a thread as any to post suggestions on

I have obviously missed discussions that have given rise to this term. What does the 'ohl' appendage to Belf mean?

I suggest that the current Glossary term...

Meh - Commonly used term to express indifference or apathy.

...be amended to included reference to the Forum's Glossarians i.e. "e.g. the attitude of posters Zat and lardbucket towards updating this Glossary."

Form of His Life™.

Fohl.

To do a "tac" - report the forum or individual forummers.

As he was the first I feel its right that he should be so honoured,

Meh, taccy did a lot of things. Singling out just one seems a bit random.

Of course "to be vilkranged, vilkified, vilked etc" must get a run.

True I had forgotten what a total qunt we was.

To do a "Henry" - name at least 100 first class cricketers who you predict will become test superstars in the next couple of years.

I tried this last week with Nick Stevens. Hopefully in ten years time no-one will mention that he was dropped from his club's first grade team after 4 games in the 2011/12 season & was never heard of again.

Oh Wally.

Isn't Mudgemeters already a unit of measurement in sooking?

Centimudges, I believe.

A hundred Centimudges would make a Mudgimetre.

No, just a Mudge.

Millimudge
Centimudge
Mudge
Kilomudge
Megamudge
Teramudge
etc.

hmmm ... kilomudge???

femtomudges are OK


(but it is not possible to have more than a mudge)

That would be too Mudge.

Kilomudge = 1000 x 100 Centimudges.

Indeed too Mudge. No-one could be that sooky.




































Except maybe qmy.

no, the Mudge is the standard unit ... the maximum sookiness possible.

all else is measured in millimudges and centimudges

Can't help but think this is Mudge ado about nothing.

I defer to your greater knowledge of the Mudgic system.
