compoundnista 

Used to describe a gaggle (or "faggle" as it were) of single gay men, that live together in a common goose-shit strewn compound property, sometimes lacking the regular use of bathing facilities for personal hygiene, and more often than not found to be smug and naive of the realities of the outside world. They are generally liked, but yet mocked in the local gay community. More often than not can be used to describe a group in the City of Bellingham in Washington State, and a transient sometimes tenant whom is not a mere mortal man, but commonly referred to and called "The Joseph", but of course that is NOT his "real" name, just a locally understood moniker. Similar groups can be found throughout the continental United States & possibly abroad. Synonym: "Faggle Commmune". ( See term "faggle" here on Urban Dictionary for further definition.) The term "compoundnista" was coined in fun via a local "Chuck-ism".
Man, the compoundnistas are actually out gracing us with their faggle presence tonight! Someone pass the soap, quick!

Methane and sulfur compounds

Methane and sulfur compounds are stuff that comes out of your butt. It's basically a fart. The methane is the loud part of the fart, while the sulfur compounds are the stinky part. The more sulfur compounds it has, the stinkier the fart.
Ew! Who let out methane and sulfur compounds? It stinks! Stinky fart!

The Compound 

The original Compound is located in Chapelgate, Dublin, Ireland and is simply known as "The Compound".

Compounds are the abodes of young affluent "Compoundians".

Compounds usually resemble old, old fort like structures with *HIGH* walls & security gates. Security is key. Some Compounds are known to employ an advanced "shard of glass" protection system whereby pieces of glass are embedded into the summits of the above mentioned *HIGH* walls to act as a deterrence to any "have a go Compoundians" (sometimes referred to as "peasants" or just plain knackers).

Compoundians all over the world enjoy a strict regime of being better than "you" while suggesting that you "deal with it". All this is done from the secure confines that only a Compound can truly offer.

Over the course of time Compoundians have inevitably begun to construct their own speech patterns. Sometimes illegible, but always vaunting, common examples of Compoundian dribble is shown below.

Although no crime has ever been committed in any Compound since their founding (historians believe the year zero B.C i.e. Before Compound), punishment for other "Compound Offences" is still widely tolerated and indeed actively encouraged within its *High* walls. Punishable offences include 1) Illegal entry into a Compound and 2) Denying the occurrence of the Compound.

Punishment regularly includes, but is not limited to: Sullying, where the names of offenders are besmirched all over the Hamptons.
