Need your help with an LJ lexicon

[katekat]

I am horribly behind responding to people who so kindly responded to my last couple of posts. Not that I don't love you - just that I'm trying to be a good girl and study while the studying needs doing. Sorry!

And, actually, I have a favor to ask of my flist. I'm doing a very simple linguistics project - I have to make up a lexicon of a specific group (lexicon = the vocabulary of a person, group, subject, or language; also, the total morphemes of a language). Live Journal is *way* too rich a field for me not to use it. So, what lj specific words do you use? Not ones that are defined by LJ, but ones that we all make up and use every day. Think slang terms.

Some examples of what I'm looking for:

flist = A single page containing the most recent posts of all the people a specific live journal user has linked to (within the live journal system)
defriend = the act of removing a friend from one’s flist
tag-fic = A live journal that is a story written by two (or more) authors who take turns entering posts that further the plot. The journal exists only as a story, and doesn’t include an diary-type entries (unless that is part of the format of the story). Usually takes months to complete, and although the story-arcs are prearranged by the authors, but the individual posts and the events in them are written by one author.
kerfluffle = Noun: an fight carried out between people whose only method of communication is live journal; usually starts when one user writes a post that is accusatory, then the second user responds to that post with a rebuttal and encourages friends to participate in responding. It may also include a post in the second users’ live journal defending their innocence, and the first user’s friends making nasty comments on that post. Generally the fight involves quite heated comments, and is often started over misconstrued intentions that are blown out of proportion.

All I need is five more ... any help?? I'd snuggle you forever - or make you the icon of your choice....

Are you looking for LJ terms?

A bunch of fic terms are at btvs_fictionary, but those are fandom, not LJ.

How about GIP (which has something to do with new graphics, though I never figured out what).

Also "privated" as in I "privated" the post after I realized it might offend some.

Or "screened" as in comments.

Spammed - too many entries, or frivolous entries

Flamed - left negative comments

noob - new user (though this is pretty common a lot of places online)

icon maker - well, yeah, one who makes icons

credited - as in crediting an icon

filtered - created filters

LJ drama - usually a post made with the intent of creating drama, being overly dramatic, or garnering comments. There's a community called lj_drama, I think (or ljdrama, or something like that)

Friends only - journals that only are viewable/can only be commented to by friends

Meme - dictionary.com has a good def for this, but I forget what it is...

Thanks Miss Phen! These rock - although, sadly, I am looking for just LJ terms - otherwise I'd be able to use every single pairing word (wiles, spangel, beegee, and all the rest)

apparantly GIP is gratuitous icon post (just found that out from miss pat above).

Unfortunately a lot of those are more general internet words, not necessarily related to LJ alone, although the filtered & credited ones are and I'm sooo using those!! Thank you!

What icon would you like in return? You can get a specific as you want and I'll try my best for you... (well, after finals are over)
