A NaNoWriMo term that means that you 'fly by the seat of your pants' when you are writing your novel. You have nothing but the absolute basics planned out for your novel.

This outlook towards writing is often opposed by the 'planner', who knows exactly what is going to happen, when it will happen, and where it will happen. There is often enmity between the two types of writers.
Another pantser?! Seriously, GTFO.

Lollery pantser 

An expression, most commonly used by someone named Ja'Crispy, often used in serious situations to provide comic relief or just to indicate that something is funny. Can be used interchangeably with the more traditional "lol".

The literal meaning is unclear but it is thought to have something to do with a person who pantses another person, that is pulls down their pants. The lollery indicates that the pantsing takes place while the pantser is laughing.

Noah: "Lollery pantser!"

pantster 

A person who writes by 'the seat of her pants' as opposed to a plotter, one who plans or outlines her writing. Term used, and popularized, by writers, and is familiar with the writing community of the American-based writing contest NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) that started in 1999, and other such contests. A general term for a writer of this approach. Antonyms: plotter, outliner, planner.
Are you a plotter or a pantster? I'm definitely a pantster! I can't wait to see what shows up next!

Pantswer 

The act of accidentally answering a phone call while the phone is still in your pocket. Opposite of a butt dial.
I didn't realize Barnabus was trying to call me because I kept pantswering my phone.

Martha's phone butt dialed me, so my phone decided to pantswer the call. Their love is wasting my minutes!

A pantser is someone who writes without an outline. They wing it. A conscientious writer -- a planner -- prefers to have an outline before writing something of non-trivial length or complexity, but not the panster. He, she, or they will write as if wearing pants on fire: they literally have no time to write an outline and just make it up as they go.
Seven years ago I was full pantser and then I started doing NaNoWriMo. -- Pat Marin
