Slocum haunts the team to this day. Its downright eerie.
Polar Bear: Mostly non-affectionate nickname for Ted Thompson. Initiated by Tank (aka Anti-Polar Bear) as a derogatory reference to the man who signed Matt O'Dwyer to a contract instead of Marco Rivera. If comparing those two players directly and reading the insinuation that Thompson preferred O'Dwyer to Rivera as a player makes your mind melt, then you understand what Polar Bear usage is all about. Brave members of the board have tried to take back the name and give it a more positive usage.
Next up: Frankenbacker!
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
Love this one Chan.
Don't think "Deelywhopper", needs to be added to the glossary, but it's a Wisconsin word all the way.
Purple Jesus is the internet bestowed nickname for Adrian Peterson, given his dominance as a running back almost immediately in his career. He battered the Packers enough that even kool-aid drinking Green and Gold fans had to admit he looked positively divine while waiting for Packer defenders to overcommit, then cut back against them for huge yardage. Combination of speed and power was astonishing at times.
We will cover a later chapter of the Royal Color son of Jim Brown in a later entry for PackerRats Glossary.
Next up: Pad Level

In many of MM early pressers any and all issues with line play can be addressed and in theory fixed by changing their pad level. This evolved to a short way of saying MM evaded or ignored the question at said pressers. I think he is the most secretive of all head coaches now...
Next Up: The meadow

The Meadow: Exists currently as a thread in the Garbage Can where one can hurl insults and witticisms of all varieties at other posters without fear of being punished for vulgarity, rudeness or transgressions of one of the seven deadly sins (pride, covetousness, lust, anger, gluttony, envy, and sloth for the forgetful). http://packerrats.com/showthread.php?23092-The-Meadow
Which reminds me, there should be seven deadly PackerRats sins thread.
But back to topic. Poster Woodbuck, who might get his own entry in the PackerRats encyclopedia covering several long pages, would express his frustration with posters who vexed him by indicating he desired a place to take whippersnapper posters and teach them some manners. There was a suggestion of violence, but it could also have been an invitation to sit down for a very long conversation (think Entmoot) and tea. Confusion reigned as the Meadow could have been anything between a gunless OK Corral and a parliament meeting in an amphitheater, though we dare say it always seemed slightly foreboding.
The Meadow seemed an important place or concept initially, where men could hash out their differences, but after initial confusion, the lack of details resulted in the Meadow, for PackerRats anyway, simply being another thread in the Garbage Can that is also ignored by most of the posters.
Next up: Soft 'N Small!

Found this after wasting time reliving fame wars.

I don't think we will ever see the Meadow explicated better than the last few batches of posts.
Soft 'n Small:
For some time, but building to a crescendo around 2013's disaster of a defense, the public and the media had settled on twin explanations for the defensive failures.
The Defensive front was too small. And the players had a character defect known as soft.
Soft n Small is the boards' small way of reminding you that this is a dumb explanation.
Next up. Joe's suggestion: Dunderdummy
wist should obviously define this one. Just remember to post another PackerRats term when you are done with that opus
