Car (Kahr) n. From the American GOTTAGOGOTTAGO to motor

1) To an individual of the butch persuasion, a car is a vehicle that must be maintained regularly. Oil should be checked. Gas should never fall below a certain level. The windshield should be washed as well as the body of the car. Tires should be checked. A car can be an extension of the butch hym/herself. Never mock a butch's ride.

2) To an individual of the femme persuasion, a car is a vehicle that must take them shopping, to the clubs and out for coffee. Should it make sputtering, coughing, ticking or any other kind of non-radio noise, it should be ignored until the butch says, "How long has that noise been going on?"

The correct answer is, "What noise?"

All lights should be ignored for a week at least and then plaintively pointed out to the individual of the butch persuasion by saying something similar to "Honey, does that light mean anything?"

Stereotyping may occur. Any offense should be checked at the door. Thank you.

Then all bets are off, popcorn is popped and salads are shot.

RideAstridus (rie dah strie duhs) n. From the Harleyian To VroomVroomVrrrroooooooommmmm

1) A medical condition associated with two-wheeled motorized vehicles. Afflicts individuals of the butch and femme persuasion.

Seems to be associated closely with those of the Tribe Dykus Du Bikus.

A fondness for wrapping one's legs around a hot metal cylinder that throbs (not to be confused with sex toys... although there is still some heated debate within the medical community) as well as an overwhelming need to let the asphalt roll out in front of you.

Tends to have symptoms of wanderlust and just plain old lust. A penchant for leather can also accompany this condition.

Consider chronic but not fatal unless grandstanding occurs. Frequently found to incur hearing losses in some varieties of this.

Known varieties include:

• HarleyPoundPoundPound
• KawasakiCrotchRocketitis
• Indianoliosis
• Hondadadadadada
• Suzukispeedyitis

Sufferers of this condition are easily spotted. Gallery pictures and profiles will make some mention of a bike. Chronic sufferers will have a picture of themselves on their bike in their signature file. They may also refer to their bike with a name such as Baby hence the term "Baby Lover".

Arwen, honey?

I think it might be time for a new hobby. You worry me.

Funny. But you still worry me.

Ignoramousrulious (ig no ray mohs roo lee oh sus) n. From the Basque to pretend ignorance of rules

1) This condition afflicts individuals of the butch and of the femme persuasions alike. It is characterized by a type of Tourette's which causes a person to post in a thread after reading one post (sometimes just the title of the thread can trigger this condition). Sufferers do not know how to begin at the beginning to determine what the boundaries of said thread are. They simply read something and respond. Often this incurs the proverbial smackdown by thread regulars who may or may not play well with others.

Said smackdown is often delivered by more than one person which can result in the Ignoramousrulios sufferer's responding in kind. This is never a good idea on the sufferer's part as it only incites the smackerdowners.

Ignoramousrulios has a 100% cure rate when treated appropriately. Often this requires repeated applications of smackdowns on the thread in question and PM's as well. Only the very aware can be completely cured.

Ignoramousrulios is often seen in the ButImANewbie individuals as well as the RuleDon'tApplyToMe type. The first is more easily cured and the second tends to attract Drama Llamas. Caution is urged in the second.

SMACKDOWN (smak down) n. From the Narnian to correct

1) The act of correcting someone's behaviour in a non-gentle way. Can be delivered by an individual of the butch or femme persuasion.

Is considered extremely necessary by the Smackdowner and extremely unnecessary by the Smackdownee.

This act is best administered in PM for the first application. If necessary, can be followed up by a more stringent smackdown in public. Normally best to back off and let the mods do their job unless you like timeouts.

Often seen in cases of Ignoramousrulious and ZombieNekkidness.
