Okay, I'm gonna set up that PLEBA glossary (see the "Mass Edge COnversion" thread if you don't know what I'm talking about).

But what I need from you guys is a list of every inside joke and double entendre that gets used around here. I havent been here too long, so it'll be helpful to include, for instance, who used it first, or where, things like that.

I'll also want the names of all the clubs and what their acronyms stand for.

If you would also love to have all of you in the glossary personally. For the record, state your name, PLEBA occupations (i.e., what clubs you run or whose loo you clean), favorite member, when you joined, your website, and any other juicy tidbits you want the world to know.

I'll get started the moment I start getting entries!

Here's what I've gleaned...but I know there is OH, so much more!! Come on Plebacites!!! Add your entries here!!
biggrin.gif


  • PLEBA - Paul (McGuinness), Larry, Edge, Bono and Adam of U2
    Better than Midol - one of the Pleba slogans put on tags to hang around necks at U2 concerts
    Too much is not enough - see description above
    Makes your Ass Wide - see description above
    Bonoclone - the name for Bono's gorgeous doppleganger, Tony, who is in a U2 cover band
    Willie - Adam's member/appendage?or any male appendage for that matter
    Orgasmatron - an invention for women mentioned by Edge at the Grammy awards
    Elevated - Bono's version of a hard-on; also the feeling a U2 fan experiences from seeing a U2 show live...typically lasts several days, or even weeks, after the concert
    Anything 'licious' - usually describing one of the members of U2, i.e., Larrylicious
    Larryland - 'the happiest place in the world!' Where Larry Mullen RULES.
    Moaner - Disco's name for Mona/WildHonee for her hormonally charged and hilarious posts about U2...but mostly about Bono
    Pez - i.e., Bono being who he is, his wife, Ali tends to pop out kids like a Pez dispenser, since Bono's bottom half is the Catholic half.
    Bedazzle - Pleba's description of what has been done to Edge's clothing, circa Achtung Baby thru ATYCLB...and what Pleba girls want to do to their own clothes using the infamous "Bedazzler"!
    Eeedddgge!!! Bedazzle meeeeeee!!!!! - a tipsy Bono screaming at Edge to bedazzle his shirt - from Bluey's story about U2 on Elevation Air
    Lemon - a whole genre of Bono-related things surrounding the song 'Lemon', Bono's fascination with the fruit, and his mother's yellow dress.
    Man Cleavage - that which is created by male pecs buffed by exercise...or 25 years of drumming!!
    Popwhore - not sure...April?????
    wink.gif

    Seven pound package - the assumed weight of Bono's member in the "elevated Bono" thread
    Plebacite - a member of Pleba (typically female)
    Thud - typically, *THUD*, the virtual sound of a Plebacite hitting the desk/table/floor in swooning shock over a picture of a U2 member
    Smooth Criminal - the name given to Larry Mullen Jr. by Mona/WildHonee for being buff and hairless and snarly
    Sicy - A favorite Pleba moderator and Smiley Queen, short for SicilianGoddess

Okay, version 1.0 of the glossary is up...but it's not nearly complete! Many PLEBAcites are underrepresented. If you are not happy with your entry (or your club's entry) in the glossary, or if you're miffed to find out that you're not in it at all, just let me know and I'll fix it right up. I'm still looking for more terms and in-jokes as well.

Go here to check it out: http://www.vodkatea.com/g/glossary.asp?gid=165

And thanks for your help, Disco!

April earned her POP_Whore name back around the time when she started out here at PLEBA - thanks to her wonderful Mrs.Edge Story and her obsession at the time with the POP look with Adam and LArry- I started calling her the popwhore. That's all there is too it - the rest is history...lol

One thing I?d like to mention regarding your entry on Cardboard Adam: when U2 introduced the Elevation tour, Adam wasn?t there. Instead they had a cardboad figure of him standing right next to them.

THANK you! I thought I was the only one. I read it and I was like "What? Where? WHO'S CROTCH?!?" Now, of course, I will have to run home and scan my copy of Rattle & Hum for this *very* classy piece of U2 nostalgia

Well, I'll be damned. Okay, I'll go edit that entry. But you gotta admit, the original wasn't too farfetched.

OMG! I never knew that cardboard adam story! I just made up that he was cardboard bc I rarely see him talk, and it's just like he's THERE all the time!

I'm psychic!

lol thanks to disco, from henceforth I am Moaner.

don't forget
*Phona: Mona's evil twin who is obsessed with posting the rugby picture. I don't know who she is...I'VE never met her *ahem*

*snooker: really some kind of game like billiards, but doesn't it sound like some kind of *innuendo* You'd like to do to Larry?

*Innuendo: the ONLY word I use, it seems like. (besides *is scandalized*)

*Hot Slice o' Piety: when Bono is holy or nice or helping the world. He is pious and YUMMY.
