Bob the Pro-Gender Equality Veela -- my Harry Potter original character. Best friends with Procent Hydronium-Vainmoien, Tanja's OC.
Boshiboshi -- the sound effect created by Godzilla destroying Tokyo. An old RML joke, originating with a Godzilla manga that used the characters "bo" and "shi" for this purpose.
Boy Meets Boy -- a hilarious online comic. Not for everyone, though.
Brian -- an evil Chili's employee that refused to seat us for no reason. We called in a reservation several hours earlier that day, but they claimed that no one wrote it down. I recount part of the story here

BTPOC -- coined by Renata and Co. "Behold The Power Of Cheese".
Buggrit, Millenium Hand and Shrimp -- nonsense phrase often uttered by Foul Ole Ron of the Discworld series.

Cheery -- Discworld character. One of my favourites, in fact. One of few openly female dwarfs.
Cult of Lincoln -- my weblog, you twit.
Curtis (Cregan) -- Renata's favourite actor, I suppose. He played Gordon, then Mark in the Benny Tour of Rent. Watch his head change color here.

Dave Barry -- the greatest humor columnist in history.
Davey Boy -- derogatory nickname for David Colbert.
David Colbert -- I like to claim that he plagiarized WIAN, but of course, he didn't. I recently went back through my weblog and edited out negative references. A combination of jealousy at his publication "Magical Worlds of Harry Potter" and his accidental use of my pseudonym (and outdated link) in the "Internet Resources of Interest" led me to see him as The Enemy. He's a good guy, though.
Discworld -- fabulous fantasy humor series by literary god Terry Pratchett.
doom -- a rather versatile word. According to Merriam Webster, 1 : a law or ordinance especially in Anglo-Saxon England. 2 a : JUDGMENT, DECISION; especially : a judicial condemnation or sentence b (1) : JUDGMENT 3a (2) : JUDGMENT DAY 1. 3 a : DESTINY; especially : unhappy destiny b : DEATH, RUIN. According to RML, this depends on context. "-- of doom" can be added to just about everything to make it niftier and more doomlike.
Douglas Adams -- recently departed literary genius. Author of the Hitchhiker "trilogy".
Dubsky -- my incredibly cool Calculus teacher.
Dumaine -- my English teacher. Vuagely reminds me of Lupin in his mild-mannered sense. Slightly evil in terms of assignments, though. Overall good guy.

Ellie Rosenthal -- my old alterego. She disappeared in March 2001. Good riddance!
Enfaldig apekatt -- a phrase I created while searching for insults in a Swedish/English online translator. It sort-of means "silly/stupid monkey". It's also the name of Tanja's blog.
Elfwood -- an occasionally dysfunctional sci-fi/fantasy/fan art archive. My galleries: 1, 2.
Espresso Ferrets -- a collaboration group including me, Rebecca, Sannali, Tanja, and Ann. We occasionally refer to ourselves as P STAR, taking the first letters of our names.

flail -- commonly overused reaction to adversity, joy, or somewhere in between. Brought into normal conversation by Renata, Megan, and the other RMLers. Frequently used in the Discworld series, to my amusement. Curiously enough, it's gradually entering pop culture lingo. Posers.
Fluffy Boy -- my nickname for Goku of "Dragonball Z". Mainly used to irritate Nancy. Stolen from Renata, who used it to describe the sidekick on The Magician.
Forbidden Broadway -- thespian group devoted to filking and performing songs from various Broadway shows. Hilarious, and much better in person, as there are a bunch of visual gags that are lost on the transition to CD.
Forty-Two -- the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything, according to Deep Thought and Douglas Adams.
frood -- from "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". Slang for "a really amazingly together guy".

How to Succeed (in Business Without Really Trying) -- Highly amusing musical. I played Smitty. The Jesuit Spring musical of 2000.
Huge tracts of land -- reference to Monty Python and the Holy Grail. This is something I do not have. Bluntly, it refers to chest size.

Invader Zim -- highly amusing cartoon mysteriously found on Nickelodeon. Features an alien bent on human conquest and a robot sidekick with a single-digit IQ.
ISAS -- I have no idea what it stands for. An arts festival for private schools in the Southwest.

Jason Fox -- nerdy kid on Foxtrot. My favourite character. I often compare people to him, for example, "Ponder Stibbons is the Jason Fox of Unseen University" or "I'm the Jason Fox of my family" or "The JETS are just a bunch of Jason Foxes with a budget and access to power tools".
Jesuit -- all-boy school. I am one of few Hockaday girls invited to audition for their theatre productions.
JETS -- the Junior Engineering Technical Society, though I prefer "Junior Engineering Technical Something-or-other". A bunch of geeks without social lives who worship ducttape and occasionally enter engineering competitions with the aim to beat St. Marks.

Kendall (Davis) -- the photography teacher last year. Supernifty.

Langly, Richard "Ringo" -- grooviest of the Lone Gunmen. Fools may say he resembles Garth of "Wayne's World".

Long, Mr. -- teacher of "History of Art and Music". One of the most loved teachers at Hockaday.

Mike -- two potential meanings. One is my rubber chicken, named for the legendary rooster who survived after having his head chopped off. The other is Mike Nelson, host of MST3K and writer for "Edward the Less", a LotR parody.
Minesweeper -- the most addictive game in history. Well, maybe "The Sims", but I've never played that.
Monty Python -- I pity anyone not familiar with this organization. British comedy at its finest.
MST3K -- greatest TV show, period. Mystery Science Theatre 3000.

nifty -- very cool. Rockin. Brought in to my speech patterns by Sluggy Freelance, the greatest comic in the universe.
Now there's a man who truly knows his cheeses -- my first serious sketchbook. Don't ask about the name.

OC -- "original character".

P STAR -- a nickname for the Espresso Ferrets. Priscilla, Sannali, Tanja, Ann, Rebecca.
Pajama Game, the -- one of the most nauseating musicals in history. The Hockaday musical for 2001-2. I'm playing Mae.
Paul (McCartney) -- my favourite Beatle.

RMU -- university founded by the RMLers.

Sagno's -- Unquestionably the best pizza place, ever.
Sailor Lincoln and the Spockmonkey of Doom -- my sketchblog. "Sailor Lincoln" comes from my associations with Renata. The theme of our meeting was "Land of Lincoln", so naturally we gave him the position of Sailor Scout. "Spockmonkey" is a term stolen from Kell. "of Doom" is an RML phrase that began with Renata and Megan.
Sluggy Freelance -- the greatest online comic, ever.
skanky -- I use the British definition, meaning "dirty". As in "not clean". No sexual connotations here, bub. Also annoying or generally displeasure-inducing.

Spockmonkey -- an inside joke absorbed from Kell. Multi-purpose word.
Sundowner -- Kell's super-nifty online comic.
