Note: this vocabulary is mostly used in the [[IRC]] channel as this is the place where brainerz talk most laxly. Additionally to the terms described here it is common to make a lot of references to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hitchhiker%27s_Guide_to_the_Galaxy HHTTG] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_your_base_are_belong_to_us AYBABTU]. And: to use the words "bush", "SCO", "windoze", "microsoft" and "gracenote" often to make MBChatLogger automatically reply to that. |
