Shagging -- the physical expression of the act of... um... love. Does not require penetration to qualify as "shagging" Booty Run -- any trip taken outside one's Barony (or camp) to visit
an (ahem) "loved" one, regardless of whether or not shagging
actually occurs. Spunking the Woobie -- See "Shagging", with additional context
of using someone ELSE's woobie for the act. Not to be confused with
Rocco's wife, Spunky, although the nickname was earned via the same
act. Woobie -- Futon. Can be extended to include any sleeping place. KHAAAAAAAAN! -- Common curse word lifted from "Star Trek II:
The Wrath of...". Often misinterpreted as "COOOOOONNN!"
Requires "inverted claw" hand COOOOOONNN! -- Nearly as common curse word referring to that guy who
used to be Prince. Sometimes misinterpreted as "KHAAAAAAAAN!"
Enhanced by, but does Thunder Keep -- Floating locational reference designated as wherever
the largest concentration of Lost Boys currently exists. Could be Pennsic
camp, could be Minnnesota. Either way, the King said it's ours! Wheee! "We're not going to fall for the banana up the tailpipe."
-- Movie quote ("Beverly Hills Cop") used commonly to diss
anyone claiming sufficient mental capacity to resist a Jedi Mind Trick.
Usually spoken in company expecting response, "You're not going
to fall for the banana up the tailpipe?" See 'Jedi Mind Trick'. Jedi Mind Trick -- Any practical joke, verbal banter, or other act
intended to cause mental confusion in the target. Extremely funny when
succesful. Almost as funny when failed. Approximately 7.42 times as
funny when someone does it to themselves. Were-Idiot -- Someone, normally tolerably competent, who transforms into an idiot at irregular intervals. Not actually dependent upon lunar cycle. Were-Genius -- Opposite of Were-Idiot, someone who, while normally
incompetent, suddely develops fits of intellegence. Usually doesn't
last long. Ditty -- Far too complex to truly do justice here. If you don't know, ask someone. Dit-Jit-Su -- Martial arts study developed entirely of looking at pictures in a martial arts book or magazine, and then trying to reproduce them in real life. Physical contact is completely shunned, thus avoiding injury while learning to kick someones ass. HARD on the fishmarket -- initially designed to express backhanded
sympathy for someone suffering a hard blow to the mouth or face. Has
over time been extended to cover any devastating impact. Tanks -- Tracked vehicles used in modern mundane warfare or large
vessels used for storage. Any mention thereof requires response, "You're
welcome". The Ghetto -- Traditionally, anywhere Rusty or Halvdan sleeps in camp.
Recently extended to include Bastien and the Incredible Folding Airplane
Hangar. Should probably include Oscad. Smigus Dyngus (pronounced "Shmingles Dingles")-- Polish holiday celebrated the Monday immediately following Easter in which people are expected, nay, ENCOURAGED, to splash each other with water. Must be a purification or bathing thing, which explains why so many Polish people felt the need to explain it to Trev. "And he's Gay" -- extra tagline useful in a variety of situational
dissings. Drop one on the end of a standard diss or tack on to someone
else's. Pic! Junk-Jiggler -- Male stripp-- I mean, "exotic dancer". Ask
Bucket about this sometime. "I'm Cool" -- Expression used in backhanded self-deprecating
attempt to regain dignity after a particulary egregious fuckup. Originally
used by Prancer after a delightful tumble down a stairwell that by all
rights should have killed his drunk ass. Happy Birthday, Alasdair :) Caravan of Love -- Spike's old Dodge Caravan. Inexplicably functional
far beyond any rational person's expectations, this vehicle served many
Lost Boy needs for years before its final collapse. UberVan -- Conversion Van -- Originally referring to Tristan's big
gray monster, it has since been extended to include any ridiculously
luxurious vehicle capable of hauling multiple Lost Boys wherever, whenever,
and arriving in style. It is reported, by the way, that Tristan does
not have any ice cream in his UberVan. Chick -- regardless of biological gender, anyone displaying stereotypically
effeminate specific qualities, primarily gather-based shopping (as opposed
to hunt-based shopping), but also inclusive of basket-carrying, high
fashion sense, and taking stupid long to get ready for a trip anywhere.
Examples: Therica, Rusty, Prancer, Ragnvaldr..... Pimp -- see "Chick", but specifically refers to high fashion
sense. Often associated with chickhood, but no causal relationship has
officially been established. Example: Tristan Wrong Side of the Tracks -- Anywhere the bulk of the Spawn are in
relation to Thunder Keep. For example, right now, Ealdormere could be
considered The Wrong Side of the Tracks. Hosehold -- Despite Dook's predilections toward typing, it was actually
Bucket's initial typo that led to this term for Household. Lunch Money -- Insanely cruel but brilliant device used to deny Padruig
his ability to breathe. "Look at me when I'm hitting you!" Verbal Aikido -- The attempt to change the subject of a disscusion
from something you don't want to talk about to anything else. Walk of Shame -- The return trip home from anywhere you made a 'Noctournal Visit'. See also 'Booty Run'. Fiasco (fe-as'ko) n. 1. A complete failure or blunder, can be of exremely humorous nature - usually after the incident itself. collective n. 2. Two and half Lost Boys, with two being present and a third being involved or in contact (by phone, thought, or other means). For this formula, Dook qualifies as two Lost Boys himself. Fiascon Particles (or Fiascomones) sci. n. Particles that are invisible to the naked eye and can cause problematic situations or incidents when in abundance. It has been observed that the more Lost Boys that are assembled, generally the higher concentration of Fiascon particles. Luckily, to date there has not been a critical mass reached. Experts theorize that a critical mass of Fiascon Particles could lead to a full reversal of the laws of the universe. Dookese (Dook-eez') n. 1. Written languange of an extremely whimsical
and cryptic nature, usually seen in electronic communication, which Rhomboid Muscle -- Hard to explain. Lift you right arm over your head. Blooded Tuna: A person who has a follower of the opposite sex (or if not opposite sex, is gay) that is being hunted like a shark homing in on an injured fish. The clear intention of this follower is quite clearly illicit. Schneegazelle -- A creature that a target of a 'Blooded Tuna' turns into when pursued. Term originally coined by Seigfried. Van Buddies -- A classic jedi mind trick preying the helplessly gullible. It indicates that since you, at one time or another, rode in the same car somewhere with a person that you are entitled to know every detail of what that person knows or is thinking. Fake Steak -- Any food item made entirely of other material. Usually a T-bone filled with pudding and wadded buns covered in gravy. ''I could eat'' --I am really freaking hungy.
Helping -- As in Am I helping? - A smart-ass comment to get a victim into more trouble than they already are. May also be used as, Youre not helping! to refer to the person who stated the smart-ass comment and got said victim in trouble in the first place.
Feel the love -- Dual definition. Usually used when a particularly clever, but cold statement is made about someone in the same room. Also used when Tristan or Alasdair leave a rattan-shaped bruise on your ass during practice. Ask Bastien.
Tone -- That little bloooooop sound you hear just before you get clocked in the head by a lost boys sword with your shield down around your ankles. Booty Wolf -- What one declares just as you are grabbing someone's ass when they are in a helpless or unaware situation. Booty Rhino -- A Booty Wolf gone bad wherein instead of grabbing the targeted backside, you poke your thumb. Booty Goat -- The act of headbutting the target's backside. Ham Biting -- Similar to the Booty Wolf/Rhino/Goat, but where the target
backside gets bitten instead of grabbed, poked or headbutted. SCIENCE! -- exclamation. Used in reply to someone who has been impressed with the workings/ function of something that you have created. Scepter -- noun. A back scratcher in any medium. Frolicking -- Something horrible which will make you scratch out your
eyes. Usually involves Trev. Hamma-Lammas -- Buckets twin daughters. Cutest things in the world, right up until they land knees first on your chest. Only slightly less cute then. Pic! Shit-a-lanche -- An avalanche of stuff usually created by either attempting to remove something from the bottom of the pile, or moving furiture in an especially unkempt house. |
