Lurker

Someone who "lurks" around an Internet forum, only reading and never posting. "Lurking" is often the result of being too scared or lazy to register, and the term mostly applies to those who do not; however you do get the occasional member who doesn't post.

There are ALWAYS more lurkers than registered members.

Everyone: Huzzah!

in before the lock

Phrase used to imply that a forum thread is either stupid or pointless and is going to be locked by a forum mod/admin. It's a much cooler way of saying "I bet this thread is gonna be locked soon".

OP: Hey everyone, I thought I'd just bring up something that's been posted several times before...

OP+1: In before the lock! ;

Forum Admin: I'm locking this thread because its stupid and pointless and has been brought up several times before.

peanut

To grab the length of a person's tie, yank it down, and push the knot up as far as you can. This results in the victim struggling to breathe, and also makes it very difficult to undo the knot as it has become so small (hence the word "peanut"). Done mostly by school kids as a prank on each other.

...and then he peanutted me, so I kicked him in the balls.

i

1) A letter that hoards of businesses and websites put in front of their names and products to make them sound cool. The trend was started by Apple Inc. and since then countless companies have jumped on the bandwagon and done the same thing.

2) A letter which, when placed in front of any word, indicates the online version of that thing; regardless of whether the online version actually exists or not.

1) I just went to iGoogle on my iMac and searched for BBC iPlayer but then someone texted my iPhone to tell to me that iMesh have been taken down off the web.

2) I was getting iBullied by this iThug and I kept hoping the iPolice would show up and kick him into iJail.
