Alegre (adj): This is simply the Spanish word for "happy." Our NERO characters say "alegre" and "dolor" instead of "happy" and "sad."
Ass (adj): Really, really cool.
Ass, Five (adj): The quality of a thing's coolness can be measured in the number of asses, or monkey asses, it has. This comes from "South Park." The base is 1-3. Nothing has ever been known to have more than 10 asses, however.
Bat Country: (n) A precarious state of being, and one to be avoided. As in, "My god man! Don't stop here! Don't you know this is bat country?!"
Butt Dimples (n): People who feel compelled to include IRC-type descriptions of actions in Internet posts are said to have "butt dimples," indicating that they're flashing them or something. Really, it's an outcry against the mention of any body part in Internet communication.
Dolor (adj): This is simply the Spanish word for "sad." See "alegre."
Donut (n): A NERO expression referring to a lame person. Newbies aren't donuts; it usually refers to somebody who should have known better. Mike Ventrella used to advertise that the expression comes from somebody saying, "I eat donuts like you for breakfast." Untrue. Todd Rautenberg (remember Lord Mejar?) came up with it. It means the person is a big fat zero. Also, donutty, donuttitude.
Floon (n): The measure of your gaming karma. When you're all psyched to play or run a game, your floon is high. When you can't figure out why, for the life of you, you keep participating in such an inane hobby, your floon is low. For people who run games in various ways, the quality of what you run usually stems directly from the measure of your floon.Note: As of late, "floon" has a tendency to get over-used and misused. Please bear in mind that the people who commonly use this word are professionals. Do not attempt to use "floon" in your own backyard without parental supervision.)
Geigh (adj): Lame. Yeah, it's a rude expression. Its origin, naturally, is "gay," that good old 1st grade stand-by of a charming expression. We don't mean to offend anyone, however, so we change the spelling to be more politically correct in our geigh little way. No one really knows who started using this expression. It was probably Trace, Scotty (who is gay) or Kara. But each of us claim we picked it up from the other one, so who knows?
Happy (adj): Used as an exclamation, "Happy" stands all by itself as a response to good news.
...in accordance with prophecy (other): All things that are cool are surely in accordance with some prophecy or another. This description is most appropriately used when it introduces a new idea. "In accordance with prophecy, I'm going to go get a Coke."
Rolling O (n): A major donut. Someone who is so hopelessly lame and irritating, that they have slipped the bounds of the wedge that kept them in place and now they just roll away in their donuttitude.
Sad (adj): Used as an exclamation, "Sad" stands all by itself as a response to bad news.
Scented Oils (n): This is our little code phrase when referring to the amazing pomposity of men sometimes. It refers to obnoxious men expected women to bow down before them and bless them with scented oils -- you know, down there.
Shee-it, that... still owes you money!: (other) Invoke this phrase to share sympathy when you hear something bad happened to someone. Whether or not money is involved or the subject is capable of owing anyone money is irrelevant. See a friend with toothpaste dribbled on her blouse? "Shee-it, that toothpaste still owes you money" sums it all up nicely.
Snu (?): Used as an exclamation, "Snu" stands all by itself when you simply have no response to something. It can also be used as an adjective, "I was completely "snu" when he told me the news."
TRISTAN! (n): The name of Nicole's cat. Used as an exclamation, "TRISTAN!" stands all by itself to indicate, "You little fat rat bastard! I'm gonna knock your block off if you don't stop clawing up my couch!"
Whatever (adj, n): The catch-all response to just about anything. It can be used as a dismissal, as an exclamation (particularly when the front part of the word is emphasized, as in "WHATever!"), or as an adjective. In its adjective form, whatever is synonymous with snu.
