I never realized how many slang and short-hand terms I really used on the site until I actually sat down and thought about it one day. If you read my articles and news posts on a regular basis, you're probably already hip to what the following terms mean, but if you're a new reader (welcome aboard, by the way!), picking up on my vernacular might take awhile, which is why I've compiled this glossary.
Some of these I coined myself, infact, the I made up the vast majority of these unless noted in the definition. These are in no particular order.
Terms Used Around PL:
1. Floops - Abbreviation for the music making program, FL Studio, which was previously called Fruityloops. My main tool in making original music on the site.
2. Word Fellatio - When ever somebody brags about themselves or what they've done in an unjustified manner. Also known as "riding your own dick".
3. The Will Smith Effect - When somebody has the ability to rap, sing, dance or do whatever kind of talent but don't use it often. However, when they do, you're amazed at how good they are. Sort of like a hidden talent.
4. Batman And Robin Syndrome - Whenever a tv show, cartoon, comic book, or movie throws in way too many characters for it's own good, which usually creates a clusterfuck with plot holes and undeveloped twists. Term derived from the 1997 failure of a film of the same name.
5. Take The Dick - A phrase used when someone needs to face reality and do something they wouldn't normally like to do, like going to a job they loathe. (Coined by my friend, Roderick Williams, circa 2004)
6. Otaku - In the insulting meaning, this is a breed of geek who is heavily obsessed with anime. Generally, they are males who are unshowered, unattractive, and overweight. Otakus seem to lack an overall sense of fashion and settle with anime shirts or apparel that has a stupid phrase written in Kanji, which in most cases they can't even read. They also might have a strange fetish for hentai (naked anime girls who, nine of out ten times, get raped by alien tentacles).
7. Freshly Raped Ass - Usually said with "you look like" or "you smell like" preceeding it. A descriptor for something being a hot ass mess. Also see "H.A.M."
8. H.A.M. - Stands for "Hot Ass Mess," or somebody looking completely tore up from the floor up, when in public. Also see "Freshly Raped Ass". Widely used internet blog term.
9. Dorkasaurus Rex - A non-insulting way to describe somebody who has dorky tendicies.
10. Slut basket - The highest degree of being a slut. A slut basket is a skank biscuit, a hoe-hoe, and a skeezer sandwich all rolled up into one for a big whore-fest of a picnic.
11. Fuckery - General nonsense
12. Bitch-bitch - A non-insulting word replacement for "girl" in a sentence.
13. "Fivehead" - Nickname for R&B/Pop singer Rihanna, for obvious reasons...
14. "Balrog" - Nickname for R&B/Pop singer Chris Brown due to his violent outburst on Rihanna in 2009. Named after the Street Fighter character with a boxing fighting style.
15. "Wheels" - Nickname for hip-hop artist, Aubrey "Drake" Graham, who got his start playing a paralyzed basketball player named Jimmy on the popular teen drama, Degrassi.
16. Fucking Nintendo - How the company "Nintendo" is referred to on PL since 2009, due to them being held to a higher standard of quality since they've been around the longest. Example: "You got Sony and Microsoft, then you got Fucking Nintendo".
17. Audio Butter - A way to describe a song or album that is nearly perfect. Everytime you hear it, it just makes you feel good lol.
18. Lil' S.H.I.T. - "She-Hustla in Training". This was my nickname for Beyoncé before she got married to Jay-Z, but it can apply to any grown ass woman gettin' her money right while in a relationship.
Pretty Ricky member Spectacular challenging male artists to a grind off. My full rants here.
19. "What the strawberry-kiwi/blueberry/banana-nut bread fuck?" - Usually said, in no particular combination, when I am completely confused at something or appauled by the idiocy before me. See above.
20. Jawn - A word popularized in Phillidelphia, that can describe anything in a sentence. Examples: "I didn't like the trailer to that movie. That jawn was shitty" or "I'd like to be all up in Kim Kardashian's jawn"
21. Wank Bait - My term for any highly desirable woman I should have an interest in sexually, but don't due to how many other guys want to hit it. Examples, G4's Olivia Munn and Transformers co-star, Megan Fox.
22. "Yip Yip" - Nickname for the rapper Bow Wow, who I respect more than half of the folks I poke fun at, but I'm still not a complete fan LOL.
23. Highly Sexable - A woman who I find to be incredibly desirable and lust inducing. Example, Rosario Dawson.
24. SMH - Widely used abbreviation for "Shakes My Head"
25. George Bush - A verb I coined in early 2010 used to describe leaving someone else at your job to take care of a mess/problem/task you were assigned to do yourself, but don't feel like doing because you're about to clock out or go eat lunch.
Derived from the common belief that on his way out of office, the 43rd president of the United States of America, George W. Bush, left Barack Obama with a broken ecomony and a war to fix the minute he assumed his presidentcy.
Example, "Man, I totally George Bushed so and so 'cause I was supposed to do inventory but I didn't feel like doing it because I was 10 minutes from clocking the fuck out. They don't pay me enough for this shit!"
26. Bish - A safe way to call a girl a "bitch" and not get totally slapped. Also can be used with "haz" to form "bish-haz" (bitch-ass)
