Favorite mgoblog term / saying
Since I have been reading mgoblog, I have noticed that a great many of the sayings / terms / etc. that originated on this site (or at least originated for me on this site) have enter my everyday vocabulary. This results in many instances in which I say something that makes perfect sense to me (and most likely would make perfect sense to my fellow readers), but causes the person I am with to look at me like I have a third eye in the middle of my forehead.
Example...watching the ND game with my wife and jumping up shouting "MINOR RAGE" after he breaks off a long run in the second half. She didn't know WTF I was talking about.
Gets me to wondering...what is everyone's favorite term that they have picked up from loyal readership on this site?
For me, it is either MINOR RAGE or OMG SHIRTLESS (which is funny, but difficult to incorporate into conversation).

CoachBT gets credit for that one...
October 16th, 2009 at 5:01 PM ^
I've actually referred to many things as "bats" since starting reading MGo. That's actually a David Foster Wallace thing, but Brian introduced it into my regular vocab.
October 16th, 2009 at 5:01 PM ^
Tacopants and MINOR RAGE
October 16th, 2009 at 5:03 PM ^
Also:
Chart?
Chart.
October 16th, 2009 at 8:48 PM ^
Chart!
I've used a dozen variations of that in conversations, memos, emails, etc. when an open assertion is made for which credulity demands some manner of...evidence? Evidence! Especially data-specific, volume-intensive authentication with protocols for collecting, updating and querying the data.
October 16th, 2009 at 10:18 PM ^
i have no shame.
October 16th, 2009 at 5:05 PM ^
"Media Bukakke"
October 16th, 2009 at 5:05 PM ^
but I always say "BRANDON GRAHAM SMASH" anytime he does stuff.
October 16th, 2009 at 5:09 PM ^
but ThreetSheridammit captured the true essence of a specific situation better than any other word - ever.
GERG makes me laugh everytime. Although, I actually missed the origin of that one, so I'm a little out of the loop and feel like Michael Scott fake-checking e-mail on his cell phone in front of the Stamford office gang.
October 16th, 2009 at 5:13 PM ^
GERG origins are at the bottom of MGoBoard FAQs. EDSBS started that one.
October 17th, 2009 at 10:27 AM ^
Not so much
October 16th, 2009 at 9:39 PM ^
ThreetSheridammit is my favorite as well. I remember saying that all the time last year.
October 16th, 2009 at 5:07 PM ^
Make my fucking sandwich asshole
October 17th, 2009 at 10:27 AM ^
What ever happened to that guy?
October 17th, 2009 at 4:05 PM ^
he's still around, I know he has posted in the last week or so.
October 16th, 2009 at 5:07 PM ^
Also, pretty much anything to do with Zoltan (The Inconceivable, etc.).
October 16th, 2009 at 5:13 PM ^
Space, bitches! is also EDSBS. Their review of the initial commercial.
October 16th, 2009 at 5:17 PM ^
"SPACE BITCHES" is actually a re-wording of the Dave Chappelle "Black Bush" sketch where he yells "We're going to the MOOOON BITCHES".
October 16th, 2009 at 5:17 PM ^
UFR
and of course,
Tacopants
October 16th, 2009 at 5:29 PM ^
"The King of Belch is a genius"
And
"XXX is the buttplug of life"
October 16th, 2009 at 5:29 PM ^
The element dilithium in reference to certain players' molecular compositions.
October 17th, 2009 at 11:25 AM ^
but lithium is an element, dilithium is some type of compound...
October 17th, 2009 at 11:29 AM ^
Dilithium is a fictional compound from StarTrek, IIRC.
Update:
Wikipedia (basic caveat about Wikipedia as a source):
A fictional crystalline mineral in the universe of Star Trek that is used to regulate the anti-matter-powered warp drives that allow starships to travel faster than light. Dilithium's chemical symbol is Dt, its atomic weight is 87 and it is a member of the hypersonic series of elements
That's the type of dilithium we're talking here. There is also real dilithium based on the covalent bonding of two lithium atoms to form a diatomic free element of Li2
October 16th, 2009 at 5:36 PM ^
to use:
FUCK.
SHIT.
UP.
to explain how to get in the backfield and kill the RB to my group of PeeWee footballers until reading it here...
October 16th, 2009 at 5:52 PM ^
uh, deathbacker? Yes, deathbacker.
October 16th, 2009 at 5:52 PM ^
Fuckin' geauxfurs!
October 16th, 2009 at 5:53 PM ^
is hands down my favorite.
October 16th, 2009 at 6:04 PM ^
refrain from using "hands down" and "Tacopants" in the same sentence; for hygiene reasons. Now I must go wash my hands.
October 16th, 2009 at 5:56 PM ^
Edit out Double Post
October 16th, 2009 at 5:55 PM ^
"meh" and "no sugarcoat" a lot now.
October 16th, 2009 at 6:07 PM ^
...the otter of ennui. He's difficult to excite, I hear.
October 16th, 2009 at 8:15 PM ^
Henri is definitely my favorite. Unfortunate that he only comes out in times of extreme indifference
October 16th, 2009 at 10:14 PM ^
I look forward to another Henri appearance with great anticipation. Unfortunately, he does not seem to care.
October 16th, 2009 at 6:10 PM ^
When I first came to MGoBlog, I kept seeing this "Tacopants" reference and for the life of me I could not figure it out. I went back through the archives until I found what it meant. I LMAO.
So for me:
1. Tacopants
2. Minor Rage (I love his passion)
3. Negbang (I hate when it happens to me, but I like the term).
October 16th, 2009 at 6:14 PM ^
OK, here's another gem. Zoltan IS the Space Emperor and it's the coolest inside joke going.
October 16th, 2009 at 6:17 PM ^
Hold on to the Damn Ball
I also find Peanut Butter and Jelly with a baseball bat pretty funny.
October 16th, 2009 at 6:42 PM ^
I am constantly yelling this.
Just always.
October 16th, 2009 at 7:54 PM ^
You can easily tell other mgobloggers based on that term alone. When you hear it shouted in a bar, you know exactly where that person has been.
October 16th, 2009 at 6:45 PM ^
I know it's an interpretation of an actual person's words, but I definitely find myself incorporating HOWEVA into my everyday life. I also use the ever-important (!) when something IS important in my notes. In fact, I often pull a "HOWEVA (!)" in my notes when describing exceptions to biological and physiological rules.
October 16th, 2009 at 7:06 PM ^
I know it's not born of this blog, but someone else mentioned it...I will always associate Peanut Butter Jelly time with mgoblog and the announcement of RR becoming the next coach. God were those nervous days
October 16th, 2009 at 7:27 PM ^
LOLphers
October 16th, 2009 at 7:28 PM ^
four FAKEs out of five
...don't like it as much as Tacopants but it hadn't been mentioned.
October 16th, 2009 at 7:38 PM ^
Sheridan=Death.
I've recently ammended this to Secondary=Death.
October 16th, 2009 at 7:44 PM ^
I love Brian's writing style and when he uses "meh" to explain something mediocre.
October 16th, 2009 at 9:59 PM ^
It's from The Simpsons.
October 16th, 2009 at 7:49 PM ^
TACOPANTS
MINOR RAGE
Henri the Otter of Ennui
October 16th, 2009 at 7:53 PM ^
Hmm, I'd have to say that "You all are circle jerking each other" and "dick waving contest" have to be my two favorites.
Relatively recent too.
October 16th, 2009 at 7:59 PM ^
"dick waving contest" = instant classic
October 16th, 2009 at 10:04 PM ^
I don't know why, but that little apostrophe somehow makes that sort of funny.
October 16th, 2009 at 10:06 PM ^
The fact I always associate this picture with Penn State:
Also, Emu Week.
