Helping Out The Noobs: The MHH Glossary Project

PrintOK, Mile High Hockey stalwarts, let's get this show on the road. This community has developed quite a few memes, nicknames, phrases and code words over the past two years and it's time we published a glossary to help new members feel like they know what the heck it is we're talking about.
This is no small project. Every day it seems like we come up with some new clever catch phrase or snarky jargon (snargon) to entertain ourselves (see "HAi4H" in today's link thread). Because the list of things that need defining grows every few minutes, I can't possibly remember everything that should be included.
That's where you come in. In the comments, please suggest the words, phrases and memes that you think should appear in the glossary, and if you're so inclined, your own suggested definition to go with it. Old stuff, new stuff, whatever.
I've already got Jibbled, SoS, Power Play Kittens and Ti4T down and defined. The rest is up to you.
Have at it!

Might be interesting/necessary to include players nicknames, or a small explanation of the nickname?
Liles = Though JML might be self explanatory – Beachie’s boyfriend, and Hot Pocket might not be.
Hejduk = The Duke is probably self explanatory
Wolski = The Baron is not.
Stastny = SoS (Son of Stastny)
Tucker = Sham Wow,
Nicknames for other teams/players:
Phadouche
Pimp Cane
Mangina
MHH: Like the Avs organization, we’ve now officially lost our minds.

I’m drawing a blank. What was the specific joke behind calling Tucker “Sham Wow”?
The Avs may suck now, but they've still won a Cup more recently than 75% of the NHL.
Because Tucker is the sux. Sham Wow sucks an amazing amount! Have to do a search for the actual thread though.
Oh yeah, duh. For a second I thought it was because Tucker beat up hookers.

Something about the Dater love triangle?

Well, the glossary can be as broad and inclusive as necessary. It wouldn’t hurt to give the DD/Jibbles/Dater Triangle of Man Love a mention.

+1
or maybe that should be +3.
Would this be considered a manage trois?

I would have said you needed to include “the RPM line,” but since there’s no R anymore…/wipes tear from eye.
Or include “the donut line,” but since there’s no Arnageddon anymore (can I get a HELL YA on that one??)

We can still include the RPM Line, since it was a pretty big deal for a little while, and everybody knew what it was. Power Play Kittens are also defunct but I wouldn’t think to exclude the poor little things from the glossary.

Other blogs
I think this topic came up because someone was talking about MHR. EZ(Excluding Zetterberg or A2Y) is another one BiB coined.
The problem with the world is that everyone is a few drinks behind - Humphrey Bogart
Excluding Zetterberg is such a good nickname for Bill’s Blog O’ Bullshit.
The Avs may suck now, but they've still won a Cup more recently than 75% of the NHL.
and I ROFL everytime I read it.
Colorado Avalanche: Please excuse the mess while we are under construction.
and Bill’s blood pressure surely raises to dangerous levels when it gets used. Everyone wins :) I can’t remember if it was Joe or David who said “there is not a more hate-filled blog on all the web”. The hyphen may suggest DDC. Anyways it’s the perfect summarization.

I think it was me. I like to use hyphens in words, David prefers hyphens in names.

yeah, doesn’t ring a bell with me. plus, I call them Abel to Ysebaert

Or, alternately, Achtymichuk to Ysebaert.
The Avs may suck now, but they've still won a Cup more recently than 75% of the NHL.
Nope
Blood pressure’s doing well. Being a fan of a team that doesn’t suck helps.
As for “Excluding Zetterberg”? I think it’s hilarious and said so the first time I saw it. I kinda dig Bill’s Blog O’Bullshit too. Would prefer to have something that allows me to use the acronym BYOB though.
Good idea on creating a glossary. Wish I’d thought of that…
It’s always nice to have you around, Bill.
The Avs may suck now, but they've still won a Cup more recently than 75% of the NHL.
And I still think you should rename the blog: Achtymichuk to Ysebaert.
The Avs may suck now, but they've still won a Cup more recently than 75% of the NHL.
I’ll run it by my 19 readers and see what they say. I’m sure it will be an easy sell, especially considering the source.
No doubt about it. I know they all sit around just waiting for guidance from Avalanche blog writers.
The Avs may suck now, but they've still won a Cup more recently than 75% of the NHL.
I’m so happy you can be so diplomatic to IwoCPO but man. My hate for the Red Wings and their fans override all that dipomatic shit. This is why I’m not a blogger and just a commenter. I would rip ppl to shreads in a way more classy manner than Bill but rip to shreds, no less. Us Avs fans are way more classy than that. Oh, and Bettman has no conspiracy towards the Avs either so uh.. score?
An ounce of confidence can carry you a mile toward winning. Oh, and Red Wings suck.
"Way More Classy"?
“Us Avs fans are way more classy…” Don’t resist that urge to blog any longer, Ms. Bronte.

Unipron
I have heard (or seen, i guess) people ask (and had to ask myself) what this means. Sounds simple, but can be confusing.

From the draft Glossary:
Jibbled: A reply has been “Jibbled” when it is mistakenly made to the main blog post instead of a user comment below that post. This fairly common fail is named in honor of MHH user Jibblescribbits because he does it constantly. Variations exist, including “Jibblekopfed,” referring to user Hopfenkopf, who does it almost as frequently as Jibblescribbits, and, ironically, often when replying to Jibblescribbits.
The Avs may suck now, but they've still won a Cup more recently than 75% of the NHL.
Another player nickname
would be Hannan as “The Hobbit” (pictures might need to be included).

I'm The Canary - but I'm not cute nor cuddly, and I don't sing.
More Nicknames
The Highlander. Svats Machine. We could break it down further, I suppose, and count in Stewie and Jonesy. Rusty too.
I also propose that Hensiiiick NOT be added until we are sure he is deserving of the name.

I think most of us have stopped using “Hensiiiick” for that very reason. Funny how it never was discussed, but every just stopped using it as the season went on.

I havent used it for that very reason, but I was looking over the roster and the nickname came to mind, so i decided to throw it out here.
Itll be fun finding some more nicknames for the incoming class.
oh, maybe we should throw in Radar too, just in case the kid impresses at camp.

Arch Enemy nicknames?
Les Alies Rouge, Detoilet, Wicked Winged Wheel [or was that somewhere else?], etc. Not that most people need help with those, but the glossary entry itself could provide hours of entertainment.

The discussion of Goal Girls earlier today in the other thread got me thinking… I started visiting after that particular meme had stopped, and had no idea what it was for a while. We might want to add that just in case someone like me is reading and hasnt understood it for weeks and has been too proud to ask.
Sippin' PBR on a Colorado game day...
Most definitely.
I seem to remember lots of people complaining about not being able to read game threads at work due to the gratuitous number of scantily clad women in them, and now, since they’re gone, everybody’s complaining about THAT.

Older terms
I’m a new member of MHH, so I appreciate the Glossary effort.
I presume you’ll be including older AVs terms as well for newer fans. Foppa, Super Joe, Brick Roy (Wah), the Can (Pepsi Center), Mission 16W, and even Rocky Hockey come readily to mind.
excellent idea
and welcome

Foppa
Didn’t at some point during the playoffs against Wild we came up with some sort of robot Foppa nickname?
I think someone started it by saying they should rebuild Foppa like the six-million dollar man or something.
So long Super Joe. In a class of your own in every sense of the word.
RoboFoppa!! That one was mine (actually from a year ago December), when it was revealed he had a battery and wires strung down his leg.
GO CATS GO!!! Rob Madore shuts the door!
Yeah, Joe
We got it.

i know we have the jibble/jibbled/jibblekopfd" but should we also include the “fail” and/or “epic fail”? and what about The Canary? Some may make that connection with Americanrio readily but perhaps not.. And the Altiboobs too…

The list seems a lot shorter than it should be…Skrastins not withstanding of course on this must win blog.
Quite clearly we need some mention of The King Of The World/Game Thread Leader, and at one point Taz(Taz would totally destroy The Canary)Me, The Savage.
Yes, I’m back, but thanks to work, an incredibly slow annoying computer and an awesome amount of hockey(Year round hockey, who rules? Australia and The Savage rule, it was a rhetorical question) probably not for long.

savage…i missed you! well, to be fair, i think i am really just remembering that i miss you cuz i haven’t really noticed your absence in the fact that i didn’t… damn. this hole just keeps getting deeper, huh?
well, i will just say then “welcome back!” and “don’t be such a stranger!”

But is there a chance this glossary will be finished BEFORE Duchene retires?

AS long as it doesn’t have 19 sections/categories he might finish it before next summer….might.
