The DU Freeper-English dictionary!

[EstimatedProphet]

Before this gets lost in the thread I posted it in, I think we should put together a freeper-english dictionary, perhaps to be attached to the Demopedia. There's just too many Freeperish words out there to keep them all straight, and a handy updatable reference guide, which can be added to as Freeperish evolves (even though they never do) would be handy to determine what exactly they mean when they post gibberish.

So, what Freeperish words do you know? I'll start compiling them, and we'll try to define exactly what tortured concepts they are getting at with their ravings.

[anarch]

1. all I know is that "spocksmen" is my new favorite word

:D

[EstimatedProphet]

2. Yeah, that's one of the best!

[johnnie]

4. Can you point me to where "spocksman" is introduced?

I need to see this. I missed it I guess.

[EstimatedProphet]

7. Here ya go buddy

Prepare to laugh your a$$ off!

[johnnie]

14. LOL... thanks EP

That poor dude has yet to learn to use "Check Spelling".

[Ladyhawk]

28. Oh. My. Fucking. God.

:wow:

I didn't realize anyone could really be that stupid. Not only did he misspell "spokesman" once, but twice, as "spocksman"...and, and, and it should have been "spokesperson"...and, and, and he abbreviated Venezuela because he knew he couldn't spell it. I suppose I should have some "sempithy" for him, but really...sweet Jesus! Is this why America is going down the toilet????

Oh. My. Fucking. God. :wow:

[Ladyhawk]

29. What is the "companion thread" of which they speak?

I wanna read more!!!! :D :D :D :D :D

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

59. OMFG. There is NO WAY IN HELL that was for real.

I say that poster was performing, much like pseudo-liberal RW trolls that post as liberal caricatures to make liberals look bad.

It's just TOO perfect.

[NoPasaran]

62. I hate it when a spocksman makes an unseemly jester

And throws away all that sempithy!

[eyepaddle]

66. Wow, I get busy for a few days and I miss THAT!?!?!?

That was hysterical....err histerickle. :rofl:

Is anybody here familiar with DougJ over at Balloon Juice? coldiggs is so over the top I'm afraid that is a parody. I hope he's for real though, spocksman fer cryin' out loud.

I actually just looked for his user profile this morning, I knew he was gonna get the chiclet sooner or later--I just wanted ot see it happen. Ah well....

[Laelth]

74. LOL

Thanks for the link. That was a blast.

But, having taught college English for a number of years, I can assure you that the OP is a non-native English speaker, probably Asian, and he/she/it just didn't grasp that he/she/it was being attacked (rather viciously, I might add).

-Laelth

[EstimatedProphet]

78. Perhaps, but...

1) there is a spellcheck function-which he knows about, and
2) that doesn't explain his freeperish views

[WritingIsMyReligion]

3. There's that, "In before zot!" business...

"Zot" referring to the deletion of a thread because it was posted by "DUmmies."

:eyes:

[EstimatedProphet]

8. OK, that's a good one.

[Redstone]

5. This is a hell of an interesting idea.

I don't have anything to add to the effort right now, but I'd really appreciate it (and I bet a bunch of other people would as well) if you'd post a list now and again as you build the compilation.

Redstone

[EstimatedProphet]

6. Will do!

That is a good idea!

[Redstone]

21. It will be appreciated by many. Damn, now I'm going to have to go over

there to collect examples of ridiculousness. Shouldn't take long, though.

Redstone

[ZombieNixon]

9. Well, there is of course...

MORAN (n.) - moron. pl. morans
HUGH (adj.) - huge. usg. "hugh moran"
MOREL (n.) - moral. pl. morels
BRIAN (n.) - brain. pl. brians
CAZY (adj.) - crazy. usg. "hugh cazy moran with no morels"
LIBRAL (n., adj.) - liberal. usg. often as LIBREL. pl. librals/librels, abbr. lib, libs
SIMPETHY (n.) - sympathy. pl. simpethies, simpethys, although this is archaic in Freeper as literary type usages have been phased out of the language

[EstimatedProphet]

11. GOOD LIST!

Thank you!

[philosophie_en_rose]

13. don't forget 'peice'

:)

[ZombieNixon]

18. PEICE (n.) - meaning unclear.

Could be "piece" or "peace." Lingiusts at the ZombieNixon Institute of Linguistic Study agree, however, that the former meaning is far likelier, given Freeper culture's predispoisition toward unnecessary war. pl. peices.

[jonnyblitz]

16. jester is gesture ( I think) nt

[ZombieNixon]

19. JESTER (n.) - gesture,

although NOBLE JESTER seems to be occasional usage as a nickname for George W. Bush.

[johnnie]

Series

Isn't that one?

[ZombieNixon]

20. SERIES (adj.) - serious.

usg. "OMG! this is HUGH!!!! Im SERIES!!!1!1!!1!!1!!"

[Seabiscuit]

67. BRAZILIAN

[asthmaticeog]

10. Paul Pot!

[EstimatedProphet]

12. Oh, yeah! Brother of Joe Pot, right?

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

53. No. Brother of Desmond "Des" Pot. -nt

[EstimatedProphet]

54. LOL-took me a minute, but it's a good one

[philosophie_en_rose]

15. Is he a dick tater?

:P

[Richardo]

57. That was my first thought. Funniest Freeperism Of All Time.

[Rabrrrrrr]

17. truth = lies; facts = "my opinion"; facts = "shit I made up

facts = whatever I say
peace = war
winning a war = losing a war
things under control = nothing under control
good economy = tanking economy with debt owned by China and millions unemployed
patriot = someone who will destroy the Constitution to keep someone else from destroying it

family values = white racist misogyny, based on a fictional and specious reading of the words of Jesus Christ, especially misinterpretating those parts of the Bible that he doesn't appear in

common sense meaning = I don't feel like looking up a fact or a theory, or footnoting or referencing something that I'm saying that someone else said, because I know it's a lie and that that reference doesn't exist but I sure as hell ain't gonna admit to that because I'm a racist, hatefilled asswipe.

[EstimatedProphet]

46. I'm going to include these in a seperate section

made up of words that have opposite meanings when used by freepers. Maybe I'll call it "anti-concepts".

[TK421]

22. New-cooler= nuclear

[jonnyblitz]

23. Flordia

:rofl:

[EstimatedProphet]

24. Here's a very rough draft

Feel free to comment at will. I also intend to put in an introductory paragraph about the differences in Freeperish from English.

BRIAN (n.) - pl. brains: Brain. As in "Freepers have brian damage."

CAZY (adj.) - usg. "hugh cazy moran with no morels": Crazy. Apparently a simple typo. Either that, or they are cazy.

DICK TATER (n.) – pl. dick taters: Dictator. Named for one Dick Tater, a poster at Free Republic who liked to order people around.

FLORDIA (n.): Florida. The Freepers favorite state, next to Teaxs. The state that Gawd used to bring Dubya the Bush to power in 2000.

HUGH (adj.) - usg. "hugh moran": Huge, giant, really damn big. This comes from a poster at Free Republic with a small penis, who went by the name Hugh.

LIBRAL (n., adj.) - usg. often as LIBREL. pl. librals/librels, abbr. lib, libs: Liberal. This is the ultimate curse in the Freeper vocabulary. Freepers see liberals as monsters who are put on earth to unfairly make them tolerant of anyone with an IQ over 50.

MORAN (n.) - pl. morans: Moron. This is the great-grandaddy of all Freeper terminology. Invented by a moran.

MOREL (n.) - pl. morels: Moral. Freepers regard morals with the same kind of disgust as they do mold, which is why they confuse them with mushrooms that grow on tree roots.

PEICE (n.) – pl. peices: Piece. Freepers commonly talk about giving librals a peice of their brian. Liberals commonly talk about not needing fertilizer. May also mean peace, but this is unlikely-Freepers just don't use that kind of language.

SERIES (adj.) – Serious. Freepers are absolutely no-nonsense about baseball.

SIMPETHY (n.) - pl. simpethies, simpethys: Sympathy. Although this is archaic in Freeper as literary type usages have been phased out of the language. Actually a shortening of the common Freeper ideals of being simpering and pathetic.

SPOCKSMEN (n.) – pl. spocksmens: Spokesman. Apparently a particular type of spokesman, specifically one from Vulcan or one specializing in child behavior.

[ZombieNixon]

26. Freeperish and English

On the surface, Freeperish seems to be a derivative dialect of English. However, the grammar (grammer) and syntax (no attested Freeperish equivalent) often render Freeperish unintelligible to mainstream English speakers. Many have hypothesized that Freeperish is, in fact a language of it own. In this case, its genetic classification would place it as a member of the West Germanic group of the Germanic subfamily of the Indo-European family of terrestrial languages, placing it alongside such languages as Frisian and Dutch, with a more distant relationship with such wideranging tongues as Spanish, Russian, Hindi, Greek and many others. Recently, however, linguists and philologists have discovered a critical flaw in this argument: it rests upon the assumption that Freeperish is in fact a language at all. In much of Europe, languages are regulated by a national academy of some sort. However, since Freepers neither constitute a nation, nor do Freepers typically embrace such institutions as National Academies of Regulation, there can be no definitive answer on this topic at this time.

[EstimatedProphet]

30. That's a good intro. Thanks!

[Ladyhawk]

82. ROTFLMAO! GREAT LIST, EP. :D

:thumbsup:

Sometimes the humor around here is brutal, but damn, you guys are clever! :)

[uppityperson]

25. stocking, as in "Cindy is stocking the president"

[SeattleGirl]

27. This is great, EP!

Thanks for putting this together (and thanks to the folks who contributed terms).

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[XemaSab]

31. Cankles

Word exclusively used to describe a feature of Hillary Rodham Clinton. :shrug:

[EstimatedProphet]

47. Isn't 'cankles' a derogatory term for fat legs?

Or do they use it for something else?

[XemaSab]

69. It means "thick ankles"

Like, of all the things to say about the woman, "thick ankles" is the most barbed? :wtf:

[Nutmegger]

32. Dupe

Dupe

[Nutmegger]

33. Islamofascist

Still don't know what that means but I'll throw it out there just in case someone knows...:shrug:

[EstimatedProphet]

52. I'm going to put this in the "anti-concept" section.

[EstimatedProphet]

34. Kick for the daytime folks

Here's where I left off last night:

JESTER (n.) - pl. jesters: Gesture. Called so because Freeper symbolic acts are laughable.

LIABLITY (n.) – pl. liablites: Liability. Free Republic is a liablity.

LIBRAL (n., adj.) - usg. often as LIBREL. pl. librals/librels, abbr. lib, libs: Liberal. This is the ultimate curse in the Freeper vocabulary. Freepers see liberals as monsters who are put on earth to unfairly make them tolerant of anyone with an IQ over 50.

STICKILY (adv.): Strictly. Freepers are very tacky in their language, and words flow like molasses from their keyboards. Their set their statements like glue.

STOCK (v.): Stalk. Likely originated from the fact that Freepers like to annoy in large groups, and therefore keep a "stock" of disruptors handy.

[Hugin]

35. "SATIN WARSHIPPERS!!!111!!"

My all time favorite.

Next to "Moran", "Hugh", and "Series"... ;)

38. Porta-John=more imprortant at Freeper events than actual Freepers

[EstimatedProphet]

43. OK

PORTA-JOHN (n.) pl. potties: Portable bathrooms. More important at Freeper events than actual Freepers, they act as placeholders for Freepers not present. Each Freeper apparently requires at least 20.

[ScreamingMeemie]

41. Clinton=The essence of all that is evil in the Freeper mind.

His penis has caused more irreversible harm to the American way of life than all wars combined. Sometimes referred to as 'The Clenis', but this has been found to be a DUer imitating a Freeper -with well earned derision.

[EstimatedProphet]

44. OK, with a couple small changes-see below

CLINTOON (n.): The Clintons. The essence of all that is evil in the Freeper mind. They believe his penis has caused more irreversible harm to the American way of life than all wars combined. Sometimes referred to as 'The Clenis', but this has been found to be a DUer imitating a Freeper -with well earned derision.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

49. Isn't the correct spelling KKKLINTOON? -nt

[EstimatedProphet]

51. Forgot about that. Thanks

[ZombieNixon]

42. How do you create a Demopedia page?

In the instructions, it says to type the URL of the page you want to create in your browser and the software automatically creates the page for you, but I did this and got a "page not found" error. Any ideas? :shrug:

[EstimatedProphet]

45. Got me

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

LOOSER (n.) pl. loosers: Loser. Freepers are too tightly wound.

I'm sorry...I had to. :hi:

76. It may be best to put it up on a Demopedia page.

What we have is an excellent starting point, and doubtless, the Freepers will provide more entries in the near future, so we can put them up as they occur...

[EstimatedProphet]

80. I agree

I'll try and get this onto a page over the weekend.

[ZombieNixon]

81. Well, just be sure to let us know when you do...

might be useful.
