Note: this vocabulary is mostly used in the IRC channel as this is where brainerz talk most laxly. Naturally, references to popular memes both old and new, such as HHTTG or AYBABTU and similar, are mentioned. Additionally, using words that the MBChatLogger is programmed to respond to, such as "TRM", "Obama", "SCO", "microsoft" and "gracenote" etc.
