Barbelites?

I call you Barbelites.
Ganesh calls you Barbeloids.
Sometimes we both say 'Lithers, allowing the apostrophe to palatalise that L in a liquidly Russian way.
We both say, "I'm off to barble for a while".

I've encountered, in various threads, barbebreak, barbemeet, Barborama, the adjectives barbelous and barbelicious (or maybe I made that one up). I'm sure there are other inventive, linguistic gems lurking in your collective centres of Broca.

What are the preferred terms of the Académie Barbelaise, if any?

Who came up with "somebarby?" Because that was a masterstroke.

I very commonly refer to Barbelith posters as being "Barbefolks", or "Barbefolk". I've used "Barbe-types" and "Barbe-kids" to similar effect.

hmmmm, Barbefolks has a troubling Bush-iness to it.....

I usually refer tp y'all as Barbi's. I dunno why I use the apostrophe, tho. I think the origin came from an admission by the Greenland posse that it was like playing with dolls.

My fiction suit has 23 points of articulation and all that.

I like 'lither's, capitalized or no.

And I think of Tom as Barbe-poppa.

Zoom.

Barbelithians? ...

Adjective: 'barbelithic,' meaning 'something like you'd read on Barbelith.' Or, slow like stoned Barbie.

Barbelithan.

by the way I am loving the term "barbelicious!"

Ive said to friends when they give me strange looks after I quote something from here: "Whoops, I forgot, you arnt one of the barbelized.."

A long time ago when Haus was new and Tannhauser, he (or perhaps it was Leisure Butcher, RIP) came up with 'Barbelitzers'.

I talk of the 'Lith, and 'Lithers. Once upon a time I used to call you all Nexites. (Wow.)

But there are so many words one can prefix 'Barbe' to. Barbeslash, Barbeconfessional, Barbevote, Barbequote, barbelicious, barbemagick, barbethong, Barbeadvice.

Also, sometimes I say, 'I'm going Lithing.' Or 'I haven't been Lithing quite so much of late.'

barbethong?

barbethong?

It next seasons fashion sensation! Politically active revolutionary underware with added magical protection where you need it most...

One that I believe I invented, in a long ago Torture Garden thread in the gathering, referred to the more experienced club-goers as barbe-guards for us TG newbies. Which I liked, if I do say so myself.

I call you all Barbelithers.

pointless and uncalled for

11:54 / 17.05.02

I occasionally think of everyone else as Barberians. I'm just the barbeejit

Showing a general distain for acronyms, I stick with 'Barbelith people' or 'Barbelith posters' or 'Barbelith type people'.

I like 'Lithers' though.

If you all spoke Portuguese, we'd call each other Barbeloucos. Then we'd realize how lame that would be and stop doing it.

13:07 / 17.05.02

oops, I mean, er, abbreviations I think. Acronyms are like NASA or FBI, right? I should have paid more attension in English..

Yay Paul

13:15 / 17.05.02

I was toying with Barbelhicks...

But then i came to my senses and went with Barbelites.

deja_vroom

13:20 / 17.05.02

Acronyms actually read like words. Like O.N.I.O.N = Over Night Immigrant Ovipares Nest.
Or C.R.E.E.P = Committee for rE-Electing the President

I always liked Nexusites.

*fuck off you smug cunt*

Kali, Queen of Kitteh

06:15 / 19.05.02

I still call most of you "Nexites." In fact, it's not uncommon for me to use the term, "Well, on the Nexus..."

Bless you, Tom.

Next meet should be a barbeque. We have a fully branded language, on our way to become like the fucking Smurfs.

Is that in ointment or pessary form? He asked, his face a picture of innocence.

Cherry Bomb, you are the quintessence of barbeliciousness.

Barbeloucos is great: the Barbelish tongue is truly universal (as it was before the Tower of Barbel fell).

Barbethongs sound uncomfortable but one must suffer for fashion, I guess. Do you think Persephone makes 'em, Mr D?

Barbelise would have to be spelt with an s over here though, Kegboy.

I like barbeejit - clearly an old Scots word, which describes my technological ineptitude and naïveté very well, and thus I am clearly the barbeejit and not you, Potus.

Barbepoppa is excellent, as is Barbelithic for a stoned Barbi(e).

But "somebarby" is a pronoun! Sweeps aside all comers in its versatility!

that

21:09 / 20.05.02

Is that, um, real Klingon, Zoom?

Traz

...suddenly, an intricate sigil appeared on the underside of the cloud, glowing with hot pink urgency!

"Barbeman, look!" The teenaged boy pointed. "It's the Barbesignal!"

Never taking his eyes off his sidekick's tight-green-briefs-clad rear end, the caped debater shouted, "Quickly! To the Barbecave!"

But would they be too late to save Commissioner Gordon? Tune it next time...same Barbetime, same Barbechannel!

is there such a thing as "real klingon"???

Werl, they had a big schism a few years back over the correct translation of the bible into Klingoni... and about ten times as many people now speak Klingoni as speak Esperanto... I guess these things are as real as you make them.

And I refer to the whole boiling of ya as Barbie's Undies. And you can't stop me, neither.

Lazlo Woodbine [some call me Laz]

Barb is nothing more than the pointy part of a bush.
"Lith" is all.
There for lihters win
For some reason my mind says nuff said.
Or is that the projected thoughts of mr P.P.Penroses imagination

Rage

I just call it The Barb, though "barbelly" is starting to have a nice ring to it.
