viking funeral

An overblown, overpriced funeral for a public figure -- such as a musician, politician, actor, or athlete -- that is vastly disproportionate to how much attention s/he needed to receive.

Peter: "Hey, did you see Paris speaking at the Michael Jackson funeral?"

Stewart: "How could I not? That viking funeral was on every blasted channel!"

bopsa

Bunch Of People Standing Around -- usually a good descriptor for still shots of political rallies, protest marches, and concert audiences.

Someone sent me a bunch of pics for the website, but most were BOPSA and I couldn't use them.

poop friend

A friend you're close enough to that you can talk about poop -- having to poop, the smell of it, that you just fired off a big one, that sort of thing. Very valuable.

"Ugh, I still feel like crap. I fired one off 10 minutes ago and it didn't help."
'What, a poop?'
"Yeah... we're poop friends, right? I can tell you that, right?"
'Uhh... yes?'

facebook singing

The practice of, when you see a song lyric on Facebook or another social networking website, singing the next lyric. Usually someone will add a third, then a fourth, and so on.

(originally coined by Sethual Chocolate)

Jeff Smith says I believe I can fly

John Jones says I believe I can touch the sky

Kim German says I think about it every night and day

Phyllis Seymour wants to spread my wings and fly away

Andrew Rickenbacker just doesn't understand all this facebook singing.

mrha

"Message received, humor acknowledged." On the internet, everyone types lol when they really aren't laughing out loud. This is a way to say "I am making you aware that I have received your link/message/quotation and discovered that it was indeed humorous. I did not, however, laugh out loud."

You: "Hey, check out this picture on the FailBlog!"

Me: *click click click* "mrha"

genre twist

The "twist ending" that pervades science fiction, horror, mystery, and fantasy writing, television, or film -- basically, anything that might get the label "genre". The classic example is that Bruce Willis was dead the entire time.

Marlene: Hey, did you watch Criminal Minds last week?

Jill: Yeah, but I figured out the genre twist just before they revealed the kid was the killer.

Marlene: I got it before the end of the second commercial break.
