NEED HELP: The DU Slang Dictionary is back...

up again. I've decided to keep the SeattleActivist.org site going despite money probs.

(NOTE: Skinner gve me permission to post this in three separate forums - 30 minutes apart. See "Ask the Administrators" for verification)

Unfortunately (since taking a vacation from the DU back in AUG of 2003), I am so far behind in DU slang and Abbreviations it's not even funny. If anyone wants to help out, they could post their fave DU slang or abbrev or comments or whatever that isn't already in the Dictionary. If I use your quote specifically, I will credit it to you and link to any webpage you want.

Check out what I've done so far:

http://DUG.SeattleActivist.org/


To help, either reply directly to this thread, or PM me, or send me an e-mail:

Dave@SeattleActivist.org


Thanx to everyone who have helped me out in the past, and who will help me out in the future. ((((HUGz)))) to you all.

3. Thanks for updating.
Could DU host the slang page for you? It would actually save space by eliminating the "What does {LOL/DU/BBV/BFEE} stand for?" posts.

By the way, welcome back. :)

5. Rumsferatu
Sec. of War Donald "Good Golly, Miss Molly" Rumsfeld.

Sheeple. Those odd Americans who can't tell you who Kofi Annan is, but can regurgitate every episode of the Gush Pfleghmball Show AND give you the C.V. of every loser ever kicked "off the island"

TinMan. Vice Pretzeldent Dick Cheney. so named because, like the Tin Man from "The Wizard of Oz" he needed and finally got a heart. Too bad it races everytime the name "Gary Condit" is mentioned in his presence.

11. Gov Goodhair
Edited on Wed Mar-10-04 11:40 AM by supernova
= Tx Gov Rick Perry. Though that may be more of a Tx colloquialism.

Posted a couple in the Lounge thread too. :hi:

edit:

LCR = Log Cabin Republicans. Getting more play recently

12. last time I checked
TMHMOE (The Most Hated Man On Earth) had not been added. it was popular during the global anti-war protests a year back.

(it's also the title to one of the original numbers in my upcoming revue)

and, you could certainly add it to the DU links page. (if you haven't already)

great resource! I've sent many there...
