OK Doods especially new guys (under 1000 poasts)..... here is volume one:

THE TIGERNET DICTIONARY
VOLUME ONE

I hope this will give some guidance concerning the things one needs to know in order to properly understand the humor and sarcasm of Tigernet an especially the “Lounge”. If you’re a Newbie read this thoroughly and if you’re an old timer it may help refresh your memory. Special thanks to all of you who helped provide information for this little project, especially the following, Coot4life, Sterling, Tiger Cobb, BigDaddy, Orangeblood, Cuda, Alphageek, and 3rdGeneration.

Art Linkletter -Lou Holtz told this joke twice in about 15 minutes one night, Art Linkletter was visiting a nursing home and speaking to all the residents. One little old lady did not appear to know who Art was. He asked her, "Do you know who I am?" The lady replied, "No, but you can go up to the desk and ask them, they know everybody in here."

A$$hat -Same as ### hole, but will get around the Crump’s Language Filter. Made famous by Catahoula. May be accompanied by a variety of photos of Erik Estrada.

Also evolved into “We don’t need no stinking Badgers” This one caused quite a stir in 2003.

Barley Lamp -Happycat creation. Used to observe a weekend of non-partisan bickering. Lit at 3pm on Fridays... extinguished 12:01 am Monday Morning.

Lose to Clemson every year, Brad’s Fault. Grass won’t grow at Williams Brice, Brad’s Fault. Skippy gets demoted, its Brad’s Fault. I would list them all but it could blow up Crumps bandwidth.

SNL Transcripts: Christopher Walken: 02/22/03: Colonel Angus - SNL Transcripts Tonight

Colonel Angus

Coot -1. A dark-gray water dwelling bird resembling a duck. 2. A foolish old man. (See definition of Lou) Seeing how the USC football sucks so consistently it seems rather offending to good poultry everywhere to call them Gamecocks, so a Coot is a much more realistic symbol for such an inept football program.

Coot of the year -Being the marketing genius that he is, COOT4LIFE® would end all his post with “vote COOT4LIFE® for Coot of the Year. So either by Subliminal effects, Genius, or Smart-ass remarks he was awarded the Tigger Award for Coot of the year for 2003, check out his profile to see for yourself.

Cootish -Having Coot tendencies, i.e. being unrealistically optimistic.

Cowbell -Also “more cowbell” From the Saturday Night live sketch of Blue Oyster Cult with Will Ferrell playing the cowbell, which aired on April 8, 2000. See link http://snltranscripts.jt.org/99/99pcowbell.phtml

also here is a video clip http://mknx.com/v/cowbell.wmv

Crack pipe -Meaning you have to be high if you believe that. Or that most was so stupid you must be on crack. Variations include, Pass the pipe, put down the pipe, turn down the pipe, pass the pipe to the left, the rotation is to the left or your messing up the rotation. If you see this, you might want to think before you post again. Or take some time to sober up first.

Dead Horse -The dead horse award is given once a topic has been beaten to death (e.g. gay day, Bush's military service, Kerry's military service). There is an actual award that you can see here:

Done deal -Typically heard whenever recruiting season or a Coaches contract negotiation. Some genius always has “inside” information and will declare the recruit’s commitment or the contract a “Done Deal”.

Double secret probation -This is what happens to people who correct statements about the Germans bombing Pearl Harbor, by saying wasn’t it the Japs or Japanese. By doing this you are immediately placed on Double Secret Probation. Originally from the movie Animal House To quote Dean Wormer “As of now they're on Double SECRET Probation!”

DSH I’ll let cuda® explain this one. It all started with a certain COOT poster 'ManningCat' who would go out his way to make outrageous and unfounded statements relating to TIGER stuff. I posted David St. Hubbins after one of his posts. About the same time 'practiceguy' (who I affectionately refer to as 'practicecybil' because he kept changing his handle in hopes of me not finding him and his idiotic diatribes) started making his moronic posts about Shyatt/Francoeur/Bowden/Academics anyway, we kind of hit it off and "David St. Hubbins" became "DSH" and it represented a quote made by Hubbins in the movie “This Is Spinal Tap” when talking about the obscenity of their album cover compared to another artist he says, "There's such a fine line between stupid and clever." I felt like that summed up practicecybil's constant ramblings. For awhile I was posting a DSH after every single post he made, it annoyed him to no end, he sent threatening Tmails, it was comical and that is my contribution to the Tigernet Dictionary.

ESPN 3 -Broadcast network for the 2003 Georgia Tech game. If you cannot find the Tigers on TV, Check ESPN 3 before you give up.

Gayday -A comment by Dashibbit concerning homosexuality sent the Lounge into full scale debate, this came to known as Gayday.

Germans -A term now meaning "A post that has been thoroughly discussed way to many times already, you jerk". A corruption of the John Belushi quote "Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? #### no!" from the classic college movie Animal House; first used on the Tigerboard by 3rdgeneration® in the fall of 1999 after a particularly galling Clemson loss. This quote was used over and over to trip up newbies to the Tigerboard who hadn't seen (how, I'm not quite sure) Animal House into correcting our "Germans" to "Japs", placing them immediately on "double-secret probation"; much to the delight of old-timers. See also, "Pearl Harbor".

Grass growing -Another ineptitude of the Coots, came very close installing Artificial turf at Williams Brice recently because no one can figure out how to get grass to grow. I’ll help you Coots out on this one, Fertilize, Over-seed and Water frequently, and repeat, so simple even a Carolina graduate should be able to handle it.

Greenvegas – everyone knows who Greenvegas is… and yet no one knows.
And that is all you need to know.

Haiku or mighty haiku -I don’t know who started it but examples of haiku’s include,

Monday Night Football
Melissa Stark, please be mine.
Oops, my wife’s coming!!

OR

Crescendo. Kickoff.
Power, Speed, Agility.
One loser. Gamecocks.

Happycat -Suggested by many to be in the dictionary, but no one could describe, so your on your own on this one.

Hill watch -Almost daily post by O.J.® in the offseason to help us count down the days till football season. Thank you O.J.®

Katie - A word that at one time would get your post deleted faster than you can say “coot”. Became famous for gallery #89 on her website titled “Clemson Porche” see link for pg-13 example

Visit katies-world.com for further information.

KatWoman – one of the Women of Tigernet. Frequently hit on by newbies in futile overtures of love and lust. Known for her knowledge of football and Clemson. She knows more about it than you’ll ever forget.

LBOD - Stands for Lounge Babe of the Day, if you see this in a post it usually means hot chicks or a lot of silicone are inside. Usually, but not always the chicks are hot. We have a few with an ugly chick fetish. See link for a proper example.

LDOD -Same as LBOD except the “D” is for dude. Don’t see many of these but on occasion we will get a Brad Pitt or George Strait usually followed by a lot of Mmmmmmmmmmmmm’s from Mrsclemsontigs.

Lip quiver -This is what started the media bashing session that caused Crumps server to start smoking last fall. All started when an a$$hat reporter asked Coach Bowden about his job status, thus bringing out the now famous lip quiver. Nearly brought Tigernetters to Lynch mob status.

Liquor bottle/beer bottle -This is what will get thrown at you if you go to a football game in Athens Georgia.

LJOD -Lounge Joke of the Day.

LOI - Double meaning. #1 Letter of Intent, this is what an athletic recruit signs when he/she are going attend a College to play a sport.
#2 Letter of Inquiry, meaning the NCAA has got the goods on you and your about to go down for violations (Unless your Tennessee). Example, the never-ending investigation into the University of South Carolina. Also these 3 letters will get you kicked off Gamecock Central faster than anything else. Try it out, go register and post L O I, with nothing else on any of the message boards. The post and your handle will be deleted in less than 5 minutes . A great way to stir up a Coot.

Lop -The 2nd cousin of lol (laugh out loud), means laugh out pee, i.e. That’s so funny I pissed in my pants. Also short for “fat lop of sh*t’ or any other similar insult. Ex. Trooper Del is a worthless lop.

Lou -Tommy Bowdens bee-otch and hopelessly optimistic old Coot that doesn’t realize he is has lost touch with today’s youth, with the exception of giving out Escalades. Hoped by many that he stays at UsuC forever.

Lounge lizard -Someone that stays on Tigernet and in the Lounge way more than the recommended dosage.

Nazi -Also known as, “The Nazi” or “The Point Nazi” An A$$hat that gives thumbs down to post over and over and over and over and over.

Nekkid -As opposed to naked meaning you don’t have any clothes on, Nekkid is you don’t have any clothes on and you’re up to something.

New board -Tigernet as we know it today with the dawn of a new age that was born in mid April 2004. With it the birth of the point system and the Nazi. Also it verified the fact that CRUMP® actually did re-invest some of that ®®®® cash back into Tigernet. I’m not going to touch what some of you said he had been doing with it, shame on you.

Old board -Tigernet prior to mid April 2004, with FordPrefect® starting the final Lounge thread of Last post on the old board posted by FordPrefect® -- 4/22/04 2:04 PM. Snnnnnnfffffff, I get kind a choked up thinking about the old girl.

Owned -As in you’re my beeotch, see link for example.

Patty (from the peach bowl office) -Poor Patty was bombarded by Tiger fans once the announcement for the Peach bowl came in 2003. Almost daily threads started with “Patty said”, “According to Patty”, “Patty just told me”, last I heard she had to be put into psychiatric care.

Pearl harbor -From Animal House, This is what the Germans Bombed follow the link and have a listen. http://www.thetigernet.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=205447

Penguins The Penguin Game, follow the link and have at it.
http://obelix.jol.hu/pingu/gore.swf

Pergola -When the University of Virgina redesigned their football stadium they intalled a pergola in the complex. A spokesman for the UVA Athletic Dept. mentioned in some article that the Pergola was placed there to intimidate the opposing teams, or something similar. TigerTC® found this to be greatly amusing, and would respond to all posts the week of the Virginia game with references to the intimidation factor of the mighty Pergola. This was found to be greatly amusing to all on Tigernet.

Point ##### Whether by partnership or having multiple Tigernet I.D.’s when you vote for your post over and over and over and over in order to get you points up you’re a Point #####. He’s just one of many examples.
http://www.thetigernet.com/forums/thread.jspa?forumID=10&threadID=1017&messageID=5999#5999

PWNED -PWNED is from most online games, most famously Counter-Strike, basically whenever you completely and utterly defeat another player you "owned" them. Much like Tigers do to the Coots each year. Pretty soon people began miss-spelling it because of the letter "P" being close to "O" on the keyboard, it happened so often that it became normal to type PWNED instead. In message boards it tends to be whenever you shut-up a user in an argument, basically crushing any point they used or brought up. Thanks to AlphaGeek® for this one.

Ring tones -Does anyone know where I can get a Tiger rag ring tone for a Nokia Cellphone?

sarcasm meter -A fictional, but useful device, invoked when one or more Tigenetters fail to catch or appreciate the sarcastic nature of many posts.

scu -South Carolina University. This started when a highly educated Coot graduate (Arturo Freeman) introduced himself on Monday night football and said he attended South Carolina University.

Shenanigans -First declared by Kyle Broflovski on the Cow Days episode of South Park which aired September 30, 1998 because the balls of the Carnival game were bigger than Jennifer Love Hewitts mouth. Most recently declared by PaulywannaCracka® and the Hickory Mafia on clemsonjeff® for being a Point #####.

Snaaaaaaaaaaaakkkkke -See Badgers.

STERLING® Tigernet’s most prolific and most sarcastic poster (not necessarilty a postive thing) If you take him seriously, you’re in real trouble. Often accused of being a flaming liberal or a closed minded conservative in the same thread . Known to play Devil’s Advocate. Claims to have a job, most think Posting is his job.

#### - Shut the F*** up. Normally when you see this, you’re an idiot.

Steak knives -This is what Crump® sends you once you have accumulated 1000 points. Rumor is that you get a nice set of China if you reach 10,000 points. But beware, the Nazi gets really upset when people reach such plateaus and if you get bombed below 1000, you have send back the Steak Knives.

The man -This guy gets around a lot, and he is always trying to keep a brother down.

Thread Jack -COOT4LIFE® decide to declare a Friday back in 2003 as Thread Jack day. In a nutshell, it is when you respond to thread “A” in thread “B” and so on and so on. It was fun but created utter chaos and left many novice Loungers dazed and confused for weeks.

Thumbs down -This is what you do if you think a post really sucks, but if you do it just because you think its funny, you’re a Nazi, and nazi’s suck.

Thumbs up -This is what you do if you like someone’s post.

Tiger Cobb -Former CU football player and resident expert on the inner workings of Danny Ford’s time at Clemson. Also one of The Lounge’s resident movie critics and novelists.

Tiger tides wife -Tigertide had bragged about how good looking his wife was so he sent a picture of her to someone to post on the web. The web site was not secure and someone else got a hold of the pic. That person "modified" the picture and the rest is history. Thanks to GeeVille Tiger for the explanation. Feel free to post the picture if you have it, I never got to see it.

Tiki hut -This young lady became very famous throughout Tigernet and the entire Internet with this picture from a NC State game few years ago. Follow link to see the picture She also has her own webpage. http://hometown.aol.com/ncstateglrl/ See what all those growth hormones in Chicken is doing.

UCS From the College World Series Flag, see link for the picture.

USUC Variation of USC, you suck, get it.

Vote for Kris -All started innocent enough when someone posted this the very first time. Tiger Cheerleader Kris Carraway was entered into the Athlon Sports Sideline Spirit Contest, so the power of Tigernet propelled her all the way to the finals. It got to where people were posting this every single day and it dragged on for what felt like an eternity. Sparking constant debates about which chick was the hottest. After all the daily pestering the Nebraska chick won. By the way the N.C. State chick was the hottest. See Link http://www.athlonsports.com/spirit/round5.php

War of 04 -Also known as The Great War of aught4, or The Great Points War. Many a good point was lost during the battles. Started about 2 weeks after the birth of the “New Board” when some a$$hat decided I’ll just spend 7 or 8 hours a day giving thumbs down to the people that I don’t like. Thus the point nazi, and later the point angel was born. Subject of the most violent non-political threads the lounge has ever seen. Moral of this is; some folks don’t like to be messed with and watch out for the Hickory Mafia. The war is still happening as of the printing of this dictionary. To be updated in volume 2

We’re Doomed Frequently heard after a Clemson loss, heard a lot after the Wake game in 2003. If you have children you know that this came from Chucky Finster of Rugrats.

Woo hoo/woo hoo-ers -Rumored to have been started by a student from New Jersey in the late 90’s. Woo-hoo-ers = Homosexuals. See link

Zimmerman -Tymere Zimmerman. High school wide receiver that that committed to the Tigers but never qualified or did he? I heard he is enrolling this fall.

John Titor predicted that I would not put him in the dictionary.

While most folks complained about the unfairness, I suggested it was a sign, a divination from the Almighty that we were being given a chance to make amends for the miserable game the year before. It was our quest to destroy Wake Forest in their own home and end once and for all the blasphemous ability the Deacs had to beat Clemson. The rallying cry was "Gee-Haw'd!" an combination of the word "jihad" and the old country exclamation "Gee-Haw!" The Tiger faithful were to mount their tractors and take pat in a holy cause to restore righteous order in football. Was it ordained? Well, I point to the play by Gaines Adams as a sign that the Almighty favored our cause.

Future Gee-Haw'ds may well be called, perhaps to Chapel Hill in basketball some day."

Geno's mom - Geno Hayes was a highly recruited linebacker from Florida in 2005. He was to announce his decision to attend either Clemson or Florida State via a live press conference.

GGOD - Golden Girl of the Day. Daily post made by The Bad Andino®, who seems to have some Freudian issues

Greenvegas - everyone knows who Greenvegas is, and yet no one knows. And that is all you need to know.

LDOD - Same as LBOD except the "D" is for dude. Don't see many of these but on occasion we will get a Brad Pitt or George Strait usually followed by a lot of Mmmmmmmmmmmmm's from Mrsclemsontigs or Tillman Girl.

Lip quiver - This is what started the media bashing session that caused Crump's server to start smoking in 2004. All started when an a$$hat reporter asked Coach Bowden about his job status, thus bringing out the now famous lip quiver. Nearly brought Tigernetters to Lynch mob status.

Liquor bottle/beer bottle - This is what will get thrown at you if you go to a football game in Athens, Georgia.

LJOD - Lounge Joke of the Day.

LOI - Double meaning. #1 Letter of Intent, this is what an athletic recruit signs when he/she are going attend a College to play a sport.
#2 Letter of Inquiry, meaning the NCAA has got the goods on you and you?re about to go down for violations (Unless your Tennessee). Example, the never-ending investigation into the University of South Carolina. In addition, these 3 letters will get you kicked off Gamecock Central faster than anything else. Try it out, go register and post L O I, with nothing else on any of the message boards. The post and your handle will be deleted in less than 5 minutes . A great way to stir up a Coot.

Lounge Foul - Declared when a poster references a HAWT female but fails to include pictorial proof.

Lounge lizard - Someone that stays on Tigernet and in the Lounge much more than the recommended dosage. Also referred to as "Lungers"

Lounge Suicide - A post announcing one's immediate, self-imposed banishment. Typical Lounge Suicides include rosy accounts of how the Lounge used to be and dismal accounts of how it is now. See also, "Cobb's Law."

May 4th ! - On May 4th, 2005 someone posted that they saw a lot of cars with their headlights on that day, and wondered what the occasion was. COOT4LIFE responded that it was "May 4th !LIGHTS ON and to always remember" and ever since then May 4th has always been a day to remember....May 4th....LIGHT'S ON !!!!

Mintaka® - Tigernet's unofficial Clemson historian. He posts historical photos of Clemson in the Donor's Den.

New board - Tigernet as we know it today with the dawn of a new age that was born in mid April 2004. With it the birth of the point system and the Nazi. In addition, it verified the fact that CRUMP® actually did re-invest some of that ®®®® cash back into Tigernet. I'm not going to touch what some of you said he had been doing with it, shame on you.

NTTAWWT - Not that there's anything wrong with that. Coined by Seinfeld,a response in reference to questionable activity or topic by a previous poster

Ocho - Spanish for eight. Sarcastically used to refer to the fictional ESPN 8, see: http://www.espn8.com/

Old board - Tigernet prior to mid April 2004, with FordPrefect® starting the final Lounge thread of Last post on the old board posted by FordPrefect® -- 4/22/04 2:04 PM. Snnnnnnfffffff, I get kind a choked up thinking about the old girl.

Owned - As in you're my beeotch, see link for example.

Patty (from the peach bowl office) - Poor Patty was bombarded by Tiger fans once the announcement for the Peach bowl came in 2003. Almost daily threads started with "Patty said", "According to Patty", "Patty just told me", last I heard she had to be put into psychiatric care.

Pearl harbor - From Animal House, This is what the Germans Bombed follow the link and have a listen. http://youtube.com/watch?v=K92OVFeGgIE

Penguins - The Penguin Game, follow the link and have at it. http://obelix.jol.hu/pingu/gore.swf

Pergola - When the University of Virginia redesigned their football stadium they installed a pergola in the complex. A spokesman for the UVA Athletic Dept. mentioned in some article that the Pergola was placed there to intimidate the opposing teams, or something similar. TigerTC® found this to be greatly amusing, and would respond to all posts the week of the Virginia game with references to the intimidation factor of the mighty Pergola. This was found to be greatly amusing to all on Tigernet.

Point ##### - Whether by partnership or having multiple Tigernet I.D.'s when you vote for your post over and over and over and over in order to get you points up you're a Point #####. He?s just one of many examples.

Proof of Global Warming Post originally made by Frogman72® (see http://tigernet.com/forums/thread.jspa?forumID=10&threadID=262217&messageID=3006051#3006051_ , now is used as sarcastic response to when something that disproves global warming

PWNED - PWNED is from most online games, most famously Counter-Strike, basically whenever you completely and utterly defeat another player you "owned" them. Much like Tigers do to the Coots each year. Pretty soon people began miss-spelling it because of the letter "P" being close to "O" on the keyboard, it happened so often that it became normal to type PWNED instead. In message boards it tends to be whenever you shut-up a user in an argument, basically crushing any point they used or brought up. Thanks to AlphaGeek® for this one.

Religion of Peace - One of two headlines Mike® applies to posts illustrating crazy Muslim behavior. See also "Straight out of the 7th Century"

Ring tones - "Does anyone know where I can get a Tiger rag ring tone for a Nokia Cellphone ?" http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=tiger+rag+ring+tones&btnG=Google+Search

Rhymer Day - Back in early 2006, Scott Rhymer posted a controversial article that had the Main Board up in arms calling for his head on a platter. The Lounge, in typical Lounge fashion, decided to poke fun of the Main Board by turning every post into something related to Rhymer. Examples would include a movie thread about 'A Rhymer Runs Through it', or someone wishing everyone to have a "Rhymer Little Christmas." Typical Lounge stuff.

RPMc____ - Created by F-section® in response to RPMcMurphy constants C&P's (See C&P). The initial reference was to term the posts as "RPMcCopyAndPastes", gradually morphed into responses to these posts. A typical response would be "I see you've been RPMcBusy lately." Taken to the next level by FrankHowardsGhost in his thread battles with RPMcMurphy.

sarcasm meter - A fictional, but useful device, invoked when one or more Tigenetters fail to catch or appreciate the sarcastic nature of many posts.

scok- F-section®'s unintentional misspelling of "sock", can refer to a sock puppet or a story from Crash referring to his Citadel roommate. See also, "sock puppet."

SCU - South Carolina University. This started when a highly educated Coot graduate (Arturo Freeman) introduced himself on Monday night football and said he attended South Carolina University.

Shenanigans - First declared by Kyle Broflovski on the Cow Days episode of South Park which aired September 30, 1998 because the balls of the Carnival game were bigger than Jennifer Love Hewitts mouth. Most recently declared by PaulywannaCracka® and the Hickory Mafia on clemsonjeff® for being a Point #####.

ShoelessCU - Commonly referred to as "Shoeless" he is the resident film maker for Tigernet. Most famous for creating Clemson highlight films that usually end with a Clemson player issuing the tag line: "Shoeless Films Rock !"

Sirius/serially - Intentional misspelling of "serious" and "seriously"

Snaaaaaaaaaaaakkkkke - See Badgers.

sock puppet - Alternate handles created for the purposes of self-pointage and/or to personify a straw man or merely to troll. Referred also as "sock" or "puppet." See also, "scok."

STERLING® - Tigernet's most prolific and most sarcastic poster (not necessarily a positive thing) If you take him seriously, you're in real trouble. Often accused of being a flaming liberal or a closed minded conservative in the same thread . Known to play Devil's Advocate. Claims to have a job, most think posting is his job.

Straight out of the 7th century - The running title of a series of Mike® posts in which he C&P's news stories about violence committed in the name of Islam. This recurring series makes appearances once or twice a week. It has lead to numerous derivations by other posters who mockingly respond to posts about any number of topics with the tag-line, "straight out of the ___ century".

Steak knives - This is what Crump® sends you once you have accumulated 1000 points. Rumor is that you get a nice set of China if you reach 10,000 points.

Swastika Flag - ClemsonPoker489® attached a distorted American flag in his signature. In the place of the 50 stars was, instead, a swastika. Poker maintained that the flag was meant to symbolize the increasingly fascist tendencies of the American public and government, particularly with respect to free speech. Tiger224, among others, took strong exception to the Poker's use of the Nazi symbol on the American flag, oftentimes resulting in epic-long threads. Poker was asked by Crump to remove it and he told Crump to (well it was not nice) and then Poker quit for a day and a half (see "Cobb's Law").

TAC - Tiger Active Chat. Tigernet's chat room. Frequenters are referred to as TACers and "the TAC Elite." TACers, in general, look disdainfully upon the Lounge and laugh at the Main Board.

The Man - This guy gets around a lot, and he is always trying to keep a brother down.

Thezxxxx® - Retired handle belonging to Murcielago®. Often used indiscriminately (i.e. "Thezxxxx® ain't gonna like this").

Thread Jack - COOT4LIFE® decide to declare a Friday back in 2003 as Thread Jack day. In a nutshell, it is when you respond to thread "A" in thread "B" and so on and so on. It was fun but created utter chaos and left many novice Loungers dazed and confused for weeks.

Thumbs down - This is what you do if you think a post really sucks, but if you do it just because you think its funny, you're a Nazi. ***UPDATE*** Thumbs down was removed in the Spring of '05, much to the Nazi's dismay

Thumbs up - This is what you do if you like someone's post. Thirty thumbs up for a specific post vault it into the Hall Of Fame

TIA - Thanks in advance

TigerCobb - Former CU football player and resident expert on the inner workings of Danny Ford's time at Clemson. Also one of The Lounge's resident movie critics and novelists. MIA since late '05

tigertide's wife - tigertide had bragged about how good looking his wife was so he sent a picture of her to someone to post on the web. The web site was not secure and someone else got a hold of the picture. That person "modified" the picture and the rest is history. Thanks to GeeVille Tiger for the explanation. Feel free to post the picture if you have it, I never got to see it.

TMML - This made me laugh. Alternate to "LOL"

toon - Editorial cartoons posted 2 or 3 times a day by democat. He usually prefaces it by the time of day (e.g. Noon Toon). Sometimes copied by Republican posters in the Lounge also. A democat toon posting is usually followed quickly by a geechietiger post exhorting him.

Uncle D1ck/D1ckie Poo - geechietiger's names for VP Cheney. The VP's first name is modified by the filter so alternate spellings are generated to get around it (i.e. Uncle D1ck, Uncle D.ick.)

UCS - From the College World Series Flag, see link for the picture.

USUC- Variation of USC, you suck, get it.

Vote for Kris - All started innocent enough when someone posted this the very first time. Tiger Cheerleader Kris Carraway was entered into the Athlon Sports Sideline Spirit Contest, so the power of Tigernet propelled her all the way to the finals. It got to where people were posting this every single day and it dragged on for what felt like an eternity. Sparking constant debates about which chick was the hottest. After all the daily pestering the Nebraska chick won. By the way the N.C. State chick was the hottest.

War of 04 - Also known as The Great War of aught4, or The Great Points War. Many a good point was lost during the battles. Started about 2 weeks after the birth of the ?New Board? when some a$$hat decided I'll just spend 7 or 8 hours a day giving thumbs down to the people that I don't like. Thus the point nazi, and later the point angel was born. Subject of the most violent non-political threads the lounge has ever seen. Moral of this is; some folks don't like to be messed with and watch out for the Hickory Mafia. The war is over now, due to the removal of the "Thumbs down." The only battle that rages now is TXTigerfan's war against soap

We're Doomed- Frequently heard after a Clemson loss. If you have children you know that this came from Chucky Finster of Rugrats.

Woo hoo/woo hoo-ers - Rumored to have been started by a student from New Jersey in the late 90's. Woo-hoo-ers = America Haters. See link http://www.banthewoohoo.com/trps/index.php

You must really hate - Derived from a phrase first uttered by firstdown® ("you must really hate America") used to suggest the previous poster's hatred of something he or she does not actually hate. Sometimes preceded by "wow", as in "wow, you must really hate the Constitution."

Zappage- Post deletion. High zappage periods occur after a Clemson loss and anytime CaptCrash posts in the Lounge.

Zimmerman - Tymere Zimmerman. High school wide receiver that that committed to the Tigers but never qualified. As of this update, Zimmerman has completed fours of eligibility at Newberry College and probably will not be eligible to play for Clemson in the fall of '07
