SGP Lexicon

There are many things said in the chatroom that you may not understand just yet, my young goslings. Here is a little guide to help you discern the meaning behind our befuddling utterances...

Pay It Forward - is not said nearly enough but often practiced - we're ALL learning new steps in the dance of life: be patient, be positive, don't be afraid to reach...

Read Back = scroll down in the chat (and each others webpages and in comments and SGP ancillary sites) and see what other people are talking about and WHO is in chat before jumping into the convo or asking "what's up?"

Wombo = word combination (as referenced by HB here)

Hellick = Hilarie+Kelly+Nick

Vlog = Video Blog... which you will find many of on the SGP Blog

The Quilt = the SGP fans from all over the world

Cake = gets handed out frequently. It's a virtual cake, but you'll take it anyway. Accept It. Appreciate It. Enjoy It.(any thoughts of Marie Antoinette may be coincidental)

"Am I bovvered?" = This is a Catherine Tate (as Lauren Cooper) reference. Watch videos of her on YouTube to fully understand and appreciate this comment, as well as....

"Are you disrespecting me?" and

Beheading = When anyone refers to beheading you or someone else - it's probably not a good thing. But it's all in good fun. Few actually hold the power to behead. It is similar to banning but also includes a side-order of public humiliation within the chatroom. (oooh, all in good fun. you will enjoy it)

"How very dare you" = yet another Catherine Tate (as Derek) reference. It means what it says.

Phase 1 (2, 3, 4, etc.) = See Tutorial blog entitled "7 Stages of Leaving Chat"

You'll soon have them memorized.

Flood/Flooding = See Tutorial blog entitled "Chatroom Tips and Guidelines." Please don't flood, because then we will have to....

Get out the mop = Clean up the chat so it's easier to read back. Or just behead you.

dum dum dum didi dum dum = This is a Queen reference. UNDER PRESSURE! It is often just randomly spurted out or used when talk of "the suits" comes up in chat.

The Suits= the men/women in suits who deal with things like legal matters, money, etc. who sometimes also forget to look both ways when crossing the street. metaphorically speaking, of course....

*poof* = "I am leaving now, don't talk to me"
*foop* = un-poof ('cause you just can't stay away)

cue *insert song here= we like to make song references for various situations. don't let this frighten you. we're just musically in tune. join us. embrace it. and if you don't know the song - Google it, last.fm it, YouTube it, etc., etc. - you might hear some pretty swell tunes.

"Who's on first?" = An Abbott and Costello skit from the 1940's. It's our way of saying "what the hellick are we talking about?" in the chat. (click here to read the skit)

typonese - the language of excited (or tired) SGP chatters - when computer keyboards start rebelling. (Urban Dictionary Definition)

y'all - a perfectly logical and elegant second-person plural contraction

vox pop - impromptu opinions recorded - often on the street...
(see also vox populi)

Sidebar = If someone asks you to "sidebar please" - it means: take your conversation to another chat source like msn, AIM, Skype, facebook, etc.

OT = Off-Topic

Do YOU speak english?
