20 choices, but only 17 lines in the result! Where's my vote?!
Posted Friday 21st November 2008 13:50 GMT
Does posting this make me a commentard asshat or a trolling twatdangle?
Posted Friday 21st November 2008 13:50 GMT
Surely any Dawn Patroller will tell you Chesticles has been used by Sarah Kennedy since before the dawn of time, and may even predate the Interweb.
Mines the one with the old tranny radio in the pocket!

OMG it's going to take at least the rest of the afternoon to give this its due consideration. Couldn't you have waited until Xmas?
Posted Friday 21st November 2008 13:50 GMT
Damn, too many to choose from! Should have had multiple choice or "Pick up to 3"...
Posted Friday 21st November 2008 13:50 GMT
I'm sure the word fail is not a new word. It should matter whether it's capitalised or not otherwise I COULD MAKE UP A WHOLE BUNCH OF NEW WORDS RIGHT NOW.
Posted Friday 21st November 2008 13:50 GMT
It's like trying to pick your favourite movie, or pair of underpants, or something where you have to pick your favourite something.

Meh is, apparently, already in a Collins dictionary.
Does that mean as it's accepted by the Great British Public it can't be part of the list as it's no longer 'street' or whatever those young whippersnappers call it nowadays.
(And it's accepted by any spell checker lurking on my machine)
Posted Friday 21st November 2008 17:03 GMT
I can't make up my mind! I'm glad to see the resurgence of "chesticles", I had almost forgotten that one.
P.S. This will probably not go through, if indeed the one month ban is in effect; but if it does... w00t!
er... damn it!

Its a pity that my chosen word has no real world application, I'm just not that likely to meet that twatdangler David Blein, as much as I would like to, just so I could address him correctly.
Oi ... twatdangler
@re: Meh
... Meh
Posted Friday 21st November 2008 17:03 GMT
I had no choice really but to go for twatdangle, as asshat and fucktards have been in my volcabulary for yonks, and none of the others cried out with the same originality
Posted Friday 21st November 2008 17:03 GMT
Waht do you mean pick One!!1!!!11!onety!eleven!!
ARGH its all to Hard....
First round should have been multiple selection, then choose one from the top five..
Posted Friday 21st November 2008 17:03 GMT
Because the "quiz" was set up by an asshat?
Posted Friday 21st November 2008 17:03 GMT
The Jargon File says it originated ~1975 at MIT on their ITS system, neologism maybe but not exactly a 'net' neologism. Unless you mean Usenet and the Scary Devil Monastery.
(http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/L/luser.html)
Posted Friday 21st November 2008 17:03 GMT
... you left out "goatse".
As a noun, as a verb, even as an adjective, it has to be the original, most multi-purpose and best!
Posted Friday 21st November 2008 17:03 GMT
it's not butter.
Asshats of the world, unite!
Posted Friday 21st November 2008 17:03 GMT
You wouldn't say 'it's broked', would you?
Posted Friday 21st November 2008 17:03 GMT
I voted twice & even laughed at the dry comment when attempting to vote second time round,
perhaps you should be able to pick up to 5
& I along with b noted that it should be fanboi
Posted Friday 21st November 2008 17:03 GMT
How many of you used Wikipedia to find out what neologism meant?
Posted Friday 21st November 2008 17:03 GMT
Fail may not be a new word, but it's a new noun, as in "Your shipment of fail has been delivered."
Posted Friday 21st November 2008 17:03 GMT
I have an old fruit bowl here depicting a bag of "MEH".
Posted Friday 21st November 2008 17:03 GMT
Fanboy is not a neologism. Fanboi, on the other hand...
Posted Friday 21st November 2008 17:03 GMT
you didn't include:
nub (the newer version of n00b, newb etc)
nubcaeks, and any number of other 4chan-isms.
Meh, i s'pose I'm b& for a month nao.
:D
Posted Friday 21st November 2008 17:03 GMT
You beat me to that one! I just heard the other day, disgraceful!
I voted luser just because I saw it first in the BOFH = ) (after much deliberation)
Paris, because she's the hottest icon here...

"favourite movie, or pair of underpants"
Is that fovourite move or favourite pair of underpants; or just to pick A pair out of a pile of them.
I mean; just close your eyes; stick your hand into the pile, and pull out a pair. how hard can that be unless you're planning on going commando?
Wait a mo'...picking a coat and heading out door.
Posted Friday 21st November 2008 17:03 GMT
That's been in common usage round here for at least thirty years. Is the net really that far behind?
Posted Friday 21st November 2008 17:05 GMT
Fanboy I don't know about, but I thought that MILF was populalised by American Pie and chesticles is, I'm almost certain, a Viz gag (or has at least been used as one, probably in the profanisaurus). Not like it matters though, since twatdangle is clearly the best of the lot by a country mile.
Posted Friday 21st November 2008 17:05 GMT
I can't believe you didn't include...
Right now go and ban all Anonymous Cowards
Posted Friday 21st November 2008 17:05 GMT
I can't believe ^H^H^H^H^H^H^H wonder why you included "Troll"? It's hardly new, been a Usenet staple for many years.
Keep feeding...
Posted Friday 21st November 2008 17:05 GMT
Picking just one out of that list was seriously difficult.
I would've preferred to give a mark out of ten for each.
Anyway, it's pub time....
Posted Friday 21st November 2008 17:05 GMT
...they're all so delightfully wrong!
Posted Friday 21st November 2008 17:05 GMT
How many can you fit in one sentence?
Meh, fucktard FAIL as celebutard gets pwnd attempting to impress the wikifddlers with twatdangle stunt, a fantastic turdspurt for El Reg fanboy and commentard.
W00t, MILF with great chesticles gets borked and used as asshat in porn troll??
Soo many fantastic uses :D
Thanks El Reg
Posted Friday 21st November 2008 17:05 GMT
20 entries, but only 16 listed in the results. 10 I could understand - but wait, could the results list be in hex, in which case why isn't the 'source' list 32 - but wait yet again, is this all mere wibble - see how I sneak in the word you didn't want :)
Posted Friday 21st November 2008 17:06 GMT
Where are the definitions, man, the definitions ?
Come my fellow surveytards, will somebody please post the necessary.
Posted Friday 21st November 2008 17:06 GMT
I can't believe you didn't include Meanderthal.
Used to describe anyone texting or on the phone and attempting to walk/cycle/drive at the same time.
You can ban me but I'll just sneak back in with another LuserName. :-)
Posted Friday 21st November 2008 17:06 GMT
. . . you didn't include "grrrrirt"
Posted Friday 21st November 2008 17:06 GMT
is already a word in common use by...
(eeek)
Sarah Kennedy.
It has been in use by here since approximately God's puberty.
Should it be here??
Posted Friday 21st November 2008 19:32 GMT
I think the word used in Blackadder was 'Bibble', IIRC something to do with pinning a frog to one's shirt and saying 'Bibble' to passers-by. I don't recall 'Wibble' on Blackadder (correct me if wrong) and Wibble is by far my favourite net neologism.
Posted Friday 21st November 2008 19:32 GMT
I even have an asshat icon I use occasionally so I guess it has to get my vote.
Posted Friday 21st November 2008 19:32 GMT
It's been a dependable stalwart of vigorous denunciatian for years, Twatdangle I'll give you though.
My vote's for wikifiddler, It captures web 2.0 circlejerking in all it's glory.
Posted Friday 21st November 2008 19:32 GMT
"old tranny radio"
Well, whatever next? Ancient lezzie TV ?
