The (Un)Official Fogbow Lexicon and Snarkasaurus

[jez]

The following is a carefully curated collection of sayings and other common tropes that have been collected during the time the Fogbow has existing (and some back to the Politijab days). This is a best effort at explaining some of seemingly "inside" jokes and sayings.

New submissions are shown in Purple so you can scan to the latest if you want.

Term
Definition

/s/
Eye tarantulas. Created by Verbalobe for the Birfer Wet Dreams comic, Orly's false eyelashes came to life as animated characters resembling tarantulas. Refers to the fact that on multiple electronic filings Orly could not get her electronic signature: "/s/ Orly Taitz" correct.

A fail of birthers
A collective noun to describe such gatherings.

Also too (see Too also)
Palinism

Ammhole

baned
Ed-Hale-ism meaning banned.

Birtherpalooza
What was the word when three birthers actually appeared together in the same place.

Boogle
A birther from Virginia named Dean Haskins called the people on Fogbow". It's a collective noun, like a pod of whales or a murder of crows, and it means a group of weasels. We adopted that and the Boogle now means "the people of Fogbow".

Bowling Ball Charles Edward Lincoln III, aka CEL3
Craptacular attorney and former lover of Lena Taitz.

Brunt toast

Citizen Grand Slam

Commander Cordwood
Lt. Cmdr. Walter Francis Fitzpatrick III, Retired, who spent a good deal of time in the Monroe County, Tennessee jail for misprision of birtherism, and complained that the inmates were "stacked like cordwood" over the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. Also affectionately known as Fitzfundfilcher, because he was court-martialed by the US Navy and subsequently forced to retire, after he pilfered a sum of money that was intended for the use of the crewmen on his ship. Cordwood = FitzFundFilcher. He was court-martialed and convicted for dipping into the enlisted men's mess fund to buy a television and a trip to a funeral for the wife of a colleague. (I think Fitzy said it was OK because the enlisted men loved the officer who died.)

Court of Bun-Dogs
Taitz was trying to say boondocks “This is ridiculous to think, that the ambassadors would not have the right to appear in court right there in DC, in SCOTUS. What do those clerks think? That I should file such case in the lowest possible court: in the Circuit court of Yahoo-Ville or the District Court of Bun-dogs??”

(Apparently the Bowling Ball's real last name is Linck but he changed it. On the other hand, he and Taitz said that President Obama changed his name from Barry Sotero to Barack Obama and that somehow showed he was disqualified. Go figure.)

Elk
Ilk cuz that is how Moo spells it.

Expert witness
Any guy off the street with a grudge against President Obama who claimed some expertise (which he didn't have) who Taitz used to attempt to show President Obama's birth certificate was fake.

Flatcap

Greenies

He, Jim whatever
A play on "He, Lucas Smith." Smith's dreadful writing style was littered with, "I, Lucas Smith, ...."

He, Lucas Daniel Smith
Smith is a convicted forger who peddled a poor forgery of a birth certificate showing that Obama was born in Kenya. He (Lucas Daniel Smith) has his own thread; you can read about his exploits there. But the fella is weird. But his addition to the lexicon was his instance referring to himself as "I, Lucas Daniel Smith." Dude: "I" suffices

Taitz's instructions, on the record, at a hearing before a hearing officer of the Georgia Secretary of State during a hearing where she was testifying as well as arguing as counsel in an effort to have President Obama found disqualified to run for President in 2012. (Visualize the courtroom scene from Woody Allen's "Bananas." Only this was funnier.) Taitz and the other birther lawyers were offered a default judgment by the administrative law judge because President Obama ignored the hearing, but Taitz and the other birther lawyers wanted to go in for the kill. So they put on their evidence and inadvertently lost to an empty chair. Upon their appeal the trial court held the Secretary of State had no jurisdiction over the issue.

As y'all know, I have been taking drugs following surgery, and I am in no kinda shape to work on this, but I am healing slowly and surely. I have numerous medical and other appointments this coming week and next, following which the plan is to go to our nation's capital to see my dad for a couple weeks. But it looks like Jez has this project in usable form, and I will get to it when I get to it.

I don't think this word actually qualifies for here, but I just love the word. Never heard of it before.

Perhaps the world’s most famous lexicographer, Susie Dent is certainly one of the most positive people on British TV. For 31 years the queen of dictionary corner on Channel 4’s Countdown, she puts just as much energy into her books: from her first, the 2003 Language Report for Oxford University Press, to Weird Words (2013), an unapologetic compendium of farting and squelching. She even finds the fun in current events, through her regular “word of the day” posts on Twitter. Recent examples include “‘boodlery’ (19th century): unprincipled behaviour in public office”, and, on the day Donald Trump was arrested, “‘mugshot’: the use of ‘mug’ for a face looks back to 18th-century drinking mugs that often represented a grotesque human face … ”

I think Boodlery need to be added to every day language.
