    I keep getting asked about a few things, so use this thread to discuss slang we use here. Useful for newbies to figure out what some of our injokes are.

    =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

    Stained-future: To stained-future something is to make it so outlandish that it broaches retarded.

    Lightsabers being made from LED pointer keychains, Harry being a uber assasin at the age of 10 with a million different arts and wolverine claws, etc. Examples include "my future is stained by reading this fic" or "That story was stained-futured so bad it dropped my I.Q. by half"

    Additional by Gio:" Blatant plaigarism from other fanfics and Horrible Crossover ideas fall into this category.In other words turning what was once good writing into something so horrible that any person with one shred of intelligence realizes that the author is borderline retarded "

    Now with it's own icon! By DGD
    :stained
    =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

    Feartheturtle: To make threads flaming others or to throw an excessive temper tantrum.

    Often followed by a smack from myself or Raven. Examples include the "Guest flaming me, Vorlon, any author that comes here and throws a fit because someone didn't like their work" It may also be used to describe someone who spells with the keyboard like a blind retarded monkey who has had it's arms and legs sliced off. "You really feartheturtle'd with that post didn't you?" May also be called Vorlon'ed if the post contains massive negativity towards a whole group when only 10% or less loathed the thing in question.

    =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

    Kitchenware stuff: To be so hardcore you can murder someone with a common kitchen item. Some have guns, some have knives, and though you may walk through the shadow of the valley of death, you have your wok/pan/peeler and fear not, because you are the baddest mofo in the valley.

    :forkyou
    =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

    Whore: Generally used in reference to Ginny, as per her role as a stalker/whore in fanon. Example: "The whore is paired with him in this fic"

    =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

    Herman: Used in reference to a shemale Hermione. The women is so anal and annoying it's an easy way to lash out at her poorly written character. Example: "it's slash, the pairing is Harry and Herman"

    =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

    The Office: A fic that started as a sick joke, quickly spiraled out of control at the helm of two disgusting individuals. Now used to refer to anything that disgusts you to the point you wash your keyboard with disinfectant after reading it for even a second. Examples include anything older then a month in the Mature section, most of Adultfanfiction.net's material.

    :office
    =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

    Half Baked Plot: Our name for the pathetic excuse that was book 6. Very few of us here who have read it, have been able to tolerate it, to the point where it's foul being has ruined fanon for many of us. Examples include: "JKR ripped off so much of Half baked Plot from fanon it's scary" or "Teflon only got depussified due to fangirls loving him"
    :hbp
    =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
    Nazi Admins: Me... er n/m.. This term is used for the fine folks at FF.net who kindly feel it is their right to allow slash, pedophilia, rape, torture, and all other fun stuff, yet rip down good dark Harry stories if the pairing isn't H/Whore. Examples are numerous, including a large number of stories listed on this very site.
    :nazi
    =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
    =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
    I'm sure there are more, but I'm preoccupied atm, post yours and I may add them to the above list.

    [Edited by Lord Ravenclaw: Changed terms to bold, couldn't read the blue and it hurt my eyes.]

    Edited by Mid who reminds Raven that if he stopped looking at porn his eyes wouldn't hurt

    I've moved most of the discussion out, try to keep this related specifically to submissions please.

    You can also submit your own ideas for DLP slang, we could vote on some maybe, or ones we all like tossed up there as well.

    This thread will regularly be pruned to keep it clean

    Trident: To trident something is to steal the contents (ie, plagarize) of another FanFiction or idea, but in the process mangle the excerpt or idea to a far less superior form. This may be used as a noun, verb, or adjective.

    Noun: "Look at this fic, it's such a trident of that story."

    Verb: "Argh! Some newbie author tridented my Harry/Cho scene."

    Adjective: "Now that is a tridented story. Look at how they ruined the character interaction!"

    The story behind this DLPism is a user named tridentwatch who stole ideas from another author and claimed to have his permission. In the process of writing the story he managed to both mangle the original idea and invoke the ire of the entire forum.

    Cupped - to create another account and continue posting when one has been banned.

    Verb - Did you hear about SlytherinDamian? He cupped his way back in.

    Noun - He's a cupspeaker if I ever saw one.

    Story behind it is a guy (see above) named Tridentwatch (who was banned) who created another account and named himself Cupspeaker. He wandered into the irc and didn't realise that Raven could see his real details there and was banned again.

    -Edited by Mid to make it more easier to say.

    To fixate on an issue and refuse to let it go, WAY past the point of reason. :D

    Just a reminder that this isn't a thread for ramblings, useless drivel or discussion. Look carefully at the first post to see what the thread is about. And NO, a whole sentence isn't a DLP-ism...it's a sentence. Also, don't just repeat things that are already down. -MS

    The Office is art. Kinsfire's so-called 'writings' are the delusional rantings of a 40 year old furry pedophile.

    Speaking of which:

    Kinsfire

    Verb: To Kinsfire, defined as: To threaten legal action for online harrassment while molesting hundreds of underage "fans".

    How do you feel about this one?

    GOFFIK (adj.)

    A 'story' written with complete disregard for spelling, grammar, and plot. May contain large amounts of melodrama. On most boards, you can be banned for even being accused of writing a 'goffik' story.

    "Did you read that goffik story, Blood Magic by GatewayGirl? Ugh, that was worse than AntiSoul!"

    Entomology: XXXbloodywrists666XXX, who insists her story is 'totily goffik', and anyone with incompatible tastes is a 'stufid prep'.

    The story in question, My Immortal, is generally thought to add another category to the classic 'Kinsfire, Poor, Acceptable, Myth' scale.

    Being kind souls, DLP agreed to change the meaning of goffik to suit her needs.

    Ninja Edit: (N.) to quickly change a previous comment made on the forums to correct spelling, grammar, or erase entire sections that upon reflection you know you deserve to be mocked for.

    Necro: (Adj.) To post on a thread that has long since been put to rest. That is to say, pretty much any thread that hasn't been posted in for more than a month.

    --(just for clarification)--

    Newbie- (n.) New person to the forum whom we will most likely lightly mock when they inevitably slip up somewhere

    Noob- (n., Adj.,)Some moron who mouths off about things that a blind retarded monkey knows shouldn't be commented on/ Member old enough to know what's going on who brings up Idea's, comments, or suggestions that are almost completely opposed to the basic principles of this forum/ Twat who's about to be banned.

    And yes, if your wondering, this post probably count's as a necro.

    It's not a DLP-ism. It's a term common to the entire internet.

    A troll is someone who posts things with the intention of getting a negative reaction out of people.

    mknote corollary #1: To mknote one must also be completely unaware of the social norms in place in any location (including real life, the internet, craigslist and whichever Forum-Mod-Fantasy-Zombie-Rape-Site one browses).
