TheBroth new words and lingo

28 Oct 06 in TheBroth

If you've been around TheBroth even for a little while, you may have picked up some of our very own "lingo". There's even been some new words added to the English dictionary.

Here's a quick list of the new words and lingo I've seen used around TheBroth.

Brothing - The act of dragging tiles at TheBroth or using TheBroth web site. eg: "I spend too much time Brothing when I should be working."

Instaban or Maximinus - The act of room owners instantly sending a player to the exile room using one click on the - button in a mosaic room. eg: "Don't make me instaban you..." and "That guy deserved that maximinus..."

Maxiplus - The act of room owners instantly giving another player a full green karma bar using one click on the + button in a mosaic room. eg: "Thanks for helping... here, have a maxiplus!"

Vool - Alternative word for "cool". eg: "TheBroth is very vool!"

Redded - Used when someone clicks on the - karma button in a mosaic room and the resulting red bar appears. eg: "Ok.. who redded me?!"

Greened - Opposited of redded.

Feel free to add to the list...

    I don't think I've ever heard the bottom three terms on your list. How about the word "neg" (verb, so can also be negged, negging..) which means the same as "redded".

    Oh yes and ...'Devels'....the developer crew...that'd be you wouldn't it?

    Oh yeah, forgot "devels". I personally *hate* this term for some reason. "Great job devels!" ugggggh!

    Funny you should say that rawc... "vool" was a typing mistake when trying to type "cool". The two letters are next to each other on a qwerty keyboard, hence the origin of the word.

    I don't like the word devels either, I prefer devs.

    Red developers?
    I like the term "I blogged", but that's probably not exclusive to here.

    personally I prefer icecream. developers don't taste as sweet.

    I've got another:

    Broth Blindness - when all the tiles appear to be the same colour after you've been brothing awhile...

    Here's another one:

    foof - it means like what it sounds like... for example: used at the end of a long day or after pushing lots of tiles and you're feeling a little... foof.

    Who started this word by the way?
