There came a knock at the door and when Benny opened the creaking device for entry a booming voice said "Rosebud", filling Benny with hysterical verbophobia and a need to run as fast as his porcine legs would carry him to the nearest bedroom, wherein he dove headfirst under the bed and lay there like Jim Bowie waiting for Santa Ana to jangle in and roust his fearful ass, saying, "Pie alamo?"

A now-anachronistic term referring to the full spectrum of being human (loving and lovable, for example) in the pre-AI anthropogenic period before the merge with machines was complete.
Billy Bob from Atlanta still believed in all the huffoo about human promacy and the evolution of the family of man, when we pushed his tied up body over the canoe's edge. He was still blub-blubbing his fluffernuttery about Love as he sank and got taken by a giant rainbow trout that lit the rapid water with koolaid acid dreams. We envied Billy Bob's fate to go down loving. He was a real humey. And we sang a banjo song in his honor around the campfire that very night. Drew!? Anybody see Drew!?

A kinder, gentler putdown of someone on line for comedic rather than vile or destructive purposes. Opposite of snarking.
Davey Crockett was almost as a bad as my snarkin' girlfriend with online comments, but he was light-hearted and meant well, you know, larkin', unlike my girlfriend, who I've stopped seeing after a comment she made about my muff breath the other day -- online! There goes that barrier reef.

From the Native Americans, bedoodleboop (trad.), to blow smoke signals to no communicative avail.
To put another person in a state of confusion and uncertainty that is akin to a groovy but unfocussed state that a reefer smoker is in just before the buzz latches on and new insights occur. Often interchangeable with prebuzzle, the more archaic form, but with fewer black eyes following.

Early internet notion involving cloud computing that a forbear of Al Gore, seeing such smoke during his time as a Union soldier during the Indian wars as a futuristic idea for global communication, wrote down and passed on to the guy who couldn't win his own home state during a crucial presidential election in 2000 -- Buffalo Soldiers everywhere were bebuzzled by this passing of events.
