View Full Version : Packer Rats Dictionary

I have a terrific idea, but I don't know where to go with it.

Today Skin Basket uses the expression "cocks and asses" to describe an apples and oranges situation. Nick Collins immediately employs it again in its proper new usage. I also learned something amusing about Ron Mexico from K-Town. The language that surrounds this site is rich, and ever-evolving.

I think--for both amusement and utility--we need a permanent Packer Rats dictionary so that people understand what is meant by Kool-aid, Rosencrap, cocks and asses, Ron Mexico, Realistic Optimists, dead gerbils, etc.

Such a tool does not fit, perhaps, in the Romper Room because it may involve expressions that go beyond the PG nature. It would be nice to have a permanent glossary for forum members to access.

I could just start a thread, I suppose, to get things started and see how many idiosyncratic expressions are in the frontal lobes of Packer Rat brains. This seems like a bad week to start it as an OT in the Green Bay chat b/c everyone is really pounding On Topic stuff and will be for a few weeks I'd guess.

So please offer constructive suggestions about how a dictionary could be established, possible words and phrases that might stump new users and be worthy of an entry in the RP Dictionary, or chime in with a simple WTF? and I'm pretty sure I'll know what you mean.

Grailism= The beautiful act of hot gals lovin other hot gals.

The Holy Grail=

The House Bretsky lives in was built by a Grailist about 15 years ago.

The office I sit in while in front of the PC use to be a Hot Tub Room.

Having Kids, the family decided it was best to remove the inground hot tub for safety purposes and put in a wooden floor where the hot tub used to indent down to the ground. Every night I sit on the floor directly above where the indoor Hot Tub used to be where years ago many Grailistic Parties may have taken place.

Thus, I sit in a chair above the Holy Grail Every Day !!


Cheers,
B

tanked: to be brought to exhaustion by repetitive or stubborn argument.I think you should add nonsensical to that definition.

There, you see, I've already learned BOMNF and the adjective "tanked". Grailism's etymology I now know better.

Yes, we should do an official "Sam's Club - Grand Re-opening." I'll have to ponder that further...

Toward the end of a dismal season that had us chewing out our own spleens, a Nigerian kid fresh off of Kansas City's practice squad suits up and runs like his visa depends on it. He makes all smile because he kept us in the last few games with his give-it-all-you've-got running and HE'S the one thanking everybody in sight.

Sam's Club

I will ask Samkon for his blessing to proceed with the grand reopening.

Sam's Club should be a "feel-good" hangout all year long. We will launch soon, but not until after the draft. Sam's Club needs its own moment in the spotlight.

Meanwhile, start preparing your speeches of effusive adoration for the man, the player, the legend - Samkon the Great. We will need to shore up on 2006 membership and initiation procedures before the start of the regular season.

Thank you.

I generally shy away from joining clubs with such low standards that they accept me as a member, but if called I shall serve.

Is Sam's Club Football or Romper Room? It tended to stay on the topic of Gado, did it not? Or was it one of those threads that went to unuusual places?

Gotta go. I'll check back in around 10 pm for a pre pre draft look see.

Less than 24 hours. I am so excited!

I think Sam's Club should go in "football" - but that can wait 'til the official launch.

Samkon would never want to steal the spotlight from our new draft choices. :wink:

Will you be asking Sir Sam at mini-camp? If so, can I go too?

FavreChild
04-28-2006, 04:02 PM
Well, first I was thinking that I shouldn't "bother" him during mini-camp, because he works so hard to keep his full attention on the coaches and all.

But, if I wait to ask him during practice, I'm thinking he'll say yes to anything I want so long as I don't "bother" him and get him in trouble.

Touche, B.

But, much like your chances of spawning a lil' Bretsky, it ain't gonna happen.

I'm quite effective at spawning, but the dang gal keep winning the race.

tanked: to be brought to exhaustion by repetitive or stubborn argument.

Hey! I am only trying to be like my favorite sport writer, Norman Chad. Chad loves to repeat two things over and over again: Rolling Rock and his ex-wives.
