Slang used by the users in MusicBrainz
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 HHTTG and AYBABTU. And: to use the words "bush", "SCO", "windoze", "microsoft" and "gracenote" often to make MBChatLogger automatically reply to that.
