The Dictionary of Seanan.

Requesting an anvil strike - Somebody has done something so stupid that Acme should be dropping an anvil on them any time now. Generally reserved for a bad driver who either did not see the pedestrian, or expects to get points for hitting same.

Mrglfrbltz - a minor curse, for events which do not rate buying a vowel.

Vrmfrgltz - see mrglfrbltz.

Arglebargle, glop-glyf? - "You make no sense at all." Standard response from one version of MUD software.

nibbled to death by ducks

Londo: It's like I'm being nibbled to death by... what are those Earth creatures, webbed feet, go quack?
Vir: Cats.
Londo: Like I'm being nibbled to death by cats!

My oldest boy will say, "Oh potatoes!" LOL

I so need to make a dictionary like that. What a hoot!!

We have four seasons. I've heard the fifth sucked - never watched it when it was originally airing, although I watched the other four. I'd like to get my hands on the movies too. Totally addicted to B5. :)

Remembered another one - 'On the bus?', which is short for "Do you want to be on the bus, or under the bus?". My ex (who has the real life version of LJ Drama for a life, poor thing) coined that one during a particularly bad month, when he decided what he really wanted to do was get a big bus and just start running over the problem people. He'd use that phrase to point out to people when they were going over the line :)

"Can't sleep, clowns'll eat me": either means I'm anxious about something (or about nothing), or that I'm awake waay too late for no good reason. Or both.

"Dude": term of endearment, made popular by my now-18-yo daughter.

"You": also a term of endearment. As in "g'night, you".

"Get the ketchup, I think it's gonna rain": This dates back to high school days. It originally meant nothing. Or maybe it meant "I'm trying to confuse you". Or maybe it was "look, I'm an artsy hippy poet type chick, somebody give me an open mic now". Then, through an accidental happenstance involving a 4 year old, a packet of actual ketchup, the remaining contents of my purse, and said 4 year old's mother, "ketchup" came to mean condoms, and hence, "rain" came to mean... well, other things that can make you wet, and "get the ketchup, I think it's gonna rain" came to be code speak, with certain friends, for either "yay, I'm about to get laid" or "wow, look at that hottie, I *wish* I was about to get laid". Still later, it got shortened to just "rain", sometimes in response to the query "ketchup?"

I also have several that are related to types of symptom flares and health issues. Here are just a couple:

Gut Monkeys: Somewhat of a cross between one friend's "gut snakes" and one daughter's eternal "butt monkeys". The meaning is, um, probably all too obvious from this.

Sledgehammer Day (or Sledgehammer Flare): days on which I wake up feeling as if someone has come while I was asleep and beaten the spots just above and below every one of my joints with a sledgehammer. Sometimes, I have lighter versions of these, termed Rubber Mallet Days.

Mrfl: The dissatisfied kitty sound. Usually used when I'm peevish and Kyla INSISTS on bothering me about things. Eventually, I will look up at her and "Mrfl" and then she knows to back off.

Mmmhmm: The "I'm really not interested in what you're talking about, please catch on soon so I can go about my business" sound.

For the LOVE: Actually short for "For the love of everything holy and unholy in the entire universe". Started as an RPG moment, has quickly evolved and now can mean anything from "Wow that's amusing" to "You are two seconds from getting stabbed".

PotP: The Power of the Pussy. Girl power.

FTMFW: For the motherfucking win. Usually used sarcastically.

Om NOM: Short for Om Nom Nom, it's usually giggled over.

MONKIES: Gleeful exclamation used whenever the mood strikes. Caz and Nessa shriek it on a really frequent basis.

Yush: yes. Emphatically. See also: yis

Honess: Said Hon-ehs. Kyla's word for me. It's like "Honey", only Kyla-ized.

-es: Used at the end of a ton of stuff. Yeses, NOES, bebes... another Kyla-izm. She's cute.

Herpxors: Herp-zors. Used very specifically about Kyla's ex husband. Long story. *laughs*

NO, KITTEN!: Ahem. It can mean anything from "That's bad, don't start" to "CAREFUL"

I'm sure there's about a billion more, but I'm drawing a blank.

Big Fucking Rocks With Lines On: It only applies to Steve, and means "we've been together since the Stone Age, I ain'tn't giving up on you."

Indeed: generic response without value judgment.

Anyway: as I am always wandering off-topic.

(Did the mandibles of love come from Chumley? As the token spider of the group, I feel like I was probably involved in that phrase's genesis, but... )

No Ponie - this means, generally, that what you are asking for is not possible given current constraints such as technical possibility, system constraints, the laws of physics, current policy, and/or other requirements that you have specified. Details of why it is not possible are generally not necessary after a no-ponie response.

By the time I wound up in LJ Support Volunteer land, the following exchange was reasonably common: "This user wants [to make the system do something that it was not designed to do, and is not likely to be implemented by devs any time this century]." "No ponie." This comes through the Styles support category, and is related to the term "blinkie ponie", which is a reference to some of the crazy styles that get put on journals.

Disregard the virtual gifts. This is the one, the only, the real Blinkie the Ponie:

Oh, heh, and there's one inspired by your Coyote Commandments: "hitting", in relation to fiction, usually seen in "Will there be hitting?" with hands-clasped glee -- shorthand for "Will there be messy interpersonal issues that cannot be resolved sweetly or quietly?" for I love those so.

Everybody out of the fish which goes with Quick! Back in the fish!. These are shorthand for 'get in and out of the object with lots of people'. The object is usually an elevator or car. I think I got this from akawil who I think got it from syringavulgaris who actually had a car called 'The Fish'. Originally I think it's from The Adventures of Baron Munchhausen.

Why do we even have that lever? Also a movie quote, this time vectored via batyatoon from The Emporer's New Groove meaning 'what on earth does what I just had to do have anything to do with a logical universe?'.

Candles and Pretense from Buffy, meaning 'we're going to pretend that we didn't see that.

There are loads more, but those are some of the common ones.

These days I sprinkle in a load of LOLCat. Older ones:

'Fish' or 'pig' as terms of endearment. A family thing (we think pigs are cute and cuddly, please don't disillusion us).

'Denmark!' As in Hamlet, Act 1, Scene 4, "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark", ergo Denmark is an abbreviation for any state in which things are rotten. "How is that job going?" "Denmark!" Apologies to any Danes...

'Belgium!' This is a well-known expletive, so well-known that I have forgotten from whence it came.

"No 'boom' today!" From Susan Ivanova on Babylon 5. Often said sadly, I tend to think that more things which go boom would be good.

'Arriven' (rhyming with 'driven') instead of 'arrived'. This isn't even an archaism, it's just the way I think the word should have evolved (as in 'drive' / 'driven'). Plus I dislike the hard 'ed' ending to the word. There are a number of other words I modify similarly, but that's the most common.

"If thine arm/leg/head/whatever offend thee, cut it off and cast it from thee unto everlasting dalmations!" Used when someone (including myself) is complaining about something hurting. Cutting off the offending part would probably stop it hurting, indeed, and soon stop everything else hurting as well. Derived from the Bible (Matthew 18:8) plus the Prayer Book (originally "cast unto everlasting damnation", but when a certain Disney film came out (the original one) it mutated into dalmations). A family saying, but I seem to use it more than the others in my family.

I leave this comment here, because it's relevant.

About ten minutes ago, my roommate mentioned there were apparently rumors of Jurassic Park 4. My response was to perk up and gleefully ask "Are there dinosaurs? Do they eat people?" and squee delightedly when she said she was sure there would be people-eating dinosaurs.

About five minutes ago, I realised that I'd gotten that from your blog.

DAMN YOU SENAN!!!! *shakes fist*

I'm stealing all your words.

Well, I'll understand YOU. You may still be very confused.
