NY Post Absorbed by the Blog

Fri, Jan 7, 2005 at 1:34:24 pm PST

I think this may be the first appearance of the term “moonbat” in mainstream media: Hillary loses her way. (Hat tip: JammieWearingFool.)

January 7, 2005 — So much for the new, moderate — dare we say centrist — Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Yesterday she lined up with her party’s moonbat “They-Stole-Ohio” caucus to headline the first formal congressional challenge to a presidential election since 1877 — only to see the effort, in equal measures baseless and slanderous, fail spectacularly.

25 papijoe  Fri, Jan 7, 2005 12:02:05pm

In Ender's Game, Ender's brother and sister would write political articles with clever expressions and phrases and then monitor the media to see if they were repeated as a way of gauging their influence.

By that method, I'd say the blogosphere is doing pretty well.

26 mich-again  Fri, Jan 7, 2005 12:05:14pm

This reminds me of a thread a month or so ago about how the word Blog was the number 1 new word of the year. I politicked for Moonbat, but my pleas fell on deaf ears. "Do not seek greatness. It will seek you."

the first appearance of the term “moonbat” in mainstream media

Michael Savage has repeatedly claimed on air that he coined the term "Islamofascist" in his first book and that everyone was copying it from him. He even offered a big reward to anyone who could prove he was wrong. It only took me about 60 seconds with Charles' search function to find the first use of it on LGF, at least 9 months before Savage's book came out. I never bothered to inform Savage or claim my reward, because I didn't want to get into a public tiff with him. But it leads me to wonder: when is the first docuemnted use of "Islamofascist"? Could this be it:

#1 Robert Crawford  3/2/2002 01:43PM PST

My personal touchstone for identifying extremists of any type is urine-drinking.

However, spreading the idea that, in order to really live as Mohammed wanted you have to drink camel piss may be the best weapon we have against Islamofascism.

Can anybody claim priority over "Robert Crawford" on March 2, 2002? I presume so, but where is the evidence?

35 levi from queens  Fri, Jan 7, 2005 12:25:08pm

In the past, I have always carried with me an old copy of Hustler that I could wrap the Post in, so nobody would see me reading the Post on the subway. Perhaps I can now throw it away.

Is Rep Weiner/Whiner serious about running for mayor of New York?

37 christheprofessor  Fri, Jan 7, 2005 12:31:27pm

#34 zombie

regarding "islamofasicsm," i suppose it's possible that he used it on his radio show before the book came out (and before "robert crawford") -- but I have no way of know.

my guess, though, is that al gore invented term after inventing the internet... and moonbat... and...

Hillary is no dummy. She would rather people be talking about her role in the Democrat's fraudulent allegations of Ohio election fraud than to have them talking about this little matter:

40 zombie  Fri, Jan 7, 2005 12:41:03pm

The real question is: are there any terms that specifically originated on LGF, and not just the internet in general or blogs in general or non-moonbat blogs? Obviously things like "LOL" and "STFU" have been around as long as there have been BBSs, and presumably "anti-idiotarian" and "Islamofascism" came from elsewhere. But what is the slang specific to LGF? Here are some nominees (profferred out of ignorance). Feel free to shoot these down and/or offer up additional possibilities:

LLL
ROP
ROPMA
PIMF
Bwahahaha!
bigelate

52 Bostonian  Fri, Jan 7, 2005 12:47:46pm

This is the woman who coined the phrase "Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy" right?

I think the press downplayed that. It's a bit much to have the First Lady going on about conspiracy theories, and the press knew it would not make her look good.

But the truth will out.

For many of our "frequent" terms, it could be like the invention of the telephone (as an example, there are others in the history of patents, etc.) -- a bunch of people got the same basic idea at pretty much the same time and it comes down to marketing and publicity -- If LGF did coin MSM it was certianly picked up by dozens of other bloggers within days (hours?!) -- potentially the same with ROP & ROPMA ...

PIMF is probably from here since many (most?) blogs don't have preview functions like Charles' ...

Annnd, absolutely anything to do with bigel is ours alone (for better or worse!)

OK, trust ya on that one. Cross ROPMA off the list.

s&dm: I'm almost positive "minions" in the blogging sense comes from LGF, but it's not really a new coined word, nor is the blogging meaning of it particularly different from the normal meaning. But, yes, as related to followers of a fascistic uber-lord blogger lizard, "minions" is from here.

What about Kossack? Did we come up with that, or did they apply it originally to themselves?

I coined a great one on a thread the other day, but no one's re-used it yet (and who knows if they ever will): Seeing as how the LLL MSM has reversed the natural color-coding of the Dem/Repub states, and assigned "blue" to the lib areas at the very moment in history when mainstream libs adopted Marxist philosophy en masse, I quipped:

The kids coming of age in the twentyteens will have to call themselves "blue-diaper babies."

Give that one about ten years to gestate. Then it will become popular.

Etymological Sidenote: Some high school kids have begun referring to dim-witted peers as "Matt Damons" as a reference to Team America: World Police. Also, when a peer says something stupid, an appropriate response is to say, "Matt Damon," in a low, flat, TAWP monotones.

Well, there's "Sampson Option," but I don't think he or anyone on LGF coined that.

Once the dust is settled, someone (any interns around here?) can search for the first usage of each term listed here. Sorta like the Oxford English Dictionary -- the official reference source for LGF word derivations.

Monty Python and Buckaroo Banzai are far too frequent elsewhere to be LGF-specific. As for Mr. Holland's Opus, does that count as something that was "coined" on LGF? It's not a new word or phrase, just a strange repetition of a movie title. Should it go on the list in some way?

Haven't real all the priors, so sorry if these are repeat:

Cupid Stund
Shrillary

Usually employed in tandem...

The ultimate goal will be:

For those entries that definitely originated on LGF, we need to search and find the earliest reference, and post the link to it. Then include a succinct definition.

For those entries that definitely originated outside LGF, we should say and provide a link to place/s they did originate, with an approximate date.

Eventually, it will become a proper dictionary. Then, as usual, some lazy grad student will steal our research and use it as the basis for his master's thesis in folklore or linguistics, while we whither away in our pajamas unacknowledged and unpaid. Then he'll get a job as an Assistant Professor and bonk his female grad students and indoctrinate the rest in Chomskyite linguistics and Marxist theory.

And the cycle begins again.

BTW, the picture of the Hildebeast on the cover of Drudge is scary, as in "crazybotch-wants-to-rule-the-world" scary. Did Jack Nicholson teach her how to contort her face that way?

The only one I think you guys have missed is definitely an "LGF-only" term:

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, COLT!"

Colt was 17 when he started posting here. By my reckoning, based on the number of birthdays he's had, he is 987 at this point.:-)

Nah. Billary is probably Rush's. I found a reference from 2000 in The Register.

What about gamy buttocks?

My #204

that should be Cupid Stunt, not Cupid Stund...

Billary: way too common to be from LGF

gin soaked raisin: since this is from Teresa, I'm sure it's all over the Net

troll cookie: I'm not familiar with this one!

Cupid Stund: not common on LGF at all

Shrillary: I'm sure anything Hillary-related is from one of the many many Right-wing pundits.

zombietime: I made that up, but it doesn't refer to anything but my Web site, so I don't think it counts for anything.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, COLT!: not really a neologism.

Crap...sorry. I had a crazed non-english speaking Mexican at the door.

"No, I did not order that pizza!"

"you...pizza, si?"

"No, no, no..."

Too temporary -- in a few months everyone will have forgotten all the "Fish is Dead" jokes. We're trying to find stuff that has entered the language.

219 Perry  Fri, Jan 7, 2005 4:04:30pm

OH! We can't leave off Nekama's Troll Hammer. And one of my personal favorites, globular clusters.

Wow, in a little over three hours my LGF Dictionary has grown from a measly 6 entries (in my original post) to 75 entries now! Not bad. A real growth industry.

222 zombie  Fri, Jan 7, 2005 4:12:15pm
Nekama's Troll Hammer. And one of my personal favorites, globular clusters.

What is the origin meaning and usage of the following phrases:

Nekama's Troll Hammer
globular clusters
Mr. Holland's Opus

Are they definitively LGF-specific? Worth including on the list?

223 christheprofessor  Fri, Jan 7, 2005 4:16:44pm

#221 Zombie

75 words/phrases is a bunch -- now, you have to write the definitions (why else would some grad student steal dictionary if you don't do all the work?)...

"Nekama's Troll Hammer" is in response to a perfectly masterful post Nekema made once regarding trolls. Bravos rang out for days, it was wonderful. Problem is I would'nt know how to find the post. I had it bookmarked for the longest time and would along with direct trolls to the link. (then promullah hacks busted up my system and i lost the link)

Suggestion KKB= Kosher Killer Bubbehs. They are here and will kill!

Globular clusters is common astronomical term.

231 gyrene, armed gator of the north  Fri, Jan 7, 2005 4:42:33pm

Um, shouldn't that be, "NY Post Assimilated by the Blog"?

232 zombie  Fri, Jan 7, 2005 4:46:18pm

Everybody: there's now a thread specifically devoted to this topic. Go there to continue the discussion.
