First, a note from the TexAgs Forum Rules:
Would you know what I meant if I said: TexAgs needed eleventy-billion mantis shrimp to feed ListEater because we are going bowing THROUGH MANY HOLES after we mirror out Texas Tech in the Snake Pit while eating waffles from orange water coolers? All because the fish pond manager told atmhockey to sit on the crapper while voring in an online poll, you moran!
I'll try to keep these alphabetical, so please if you have something to add that is a meme, type the subject in bold and the rest in regular font, like this:
Example
Description of the TexAgs meme perhaps with a url reference to the material (if possible)
..............
I'll start with a few off the top of my head:
2/10 would not bang (WNB)
A rating system for any picture posted of any girl. No matter how gorgeous the woman is, TexAgs.com's community has higher standards. It usually implies that whatever female was posted is extremely hot and/or desirable but, in true TexAgs fashion, we must remind ourselves how sarcastic we should be with our fellow Aggies. Plus we're just snooty. Ryan Tannehill's wife? 2/10 WNB. Adriana Lima? 2/10 WNB. Brooke Burke? 2/10 WNB. Ingrid Vandebosch? You guess it: 2/10 WNB. This has been shortened also to "would", "would not", or "WNB". Also, the Houston board uses a much more simple version of binary rating: 1 = Would, 0 = WNB
AggieGrant06
The poster who infamously busted OU in the Big Red Sports & Imports scandal. He busted the story on 30-Jan-2006 and was profoundly abused on the first page. A little over 6 months later, the story broke in the media that OU was under investigation; someone bumped the thread, and it went from 1 page to over 70 pages (as of 5/18/2012). AggeGrant06 was mentioned in several news articles as the person who "blew the whistle" on OU pat on the back.
AO
TexAg' initialism or shorthand for the Aggies Only Board. You have to have an AgTag and be a paying member to post there. (see The Poors below)
atmhockey and the good luck crapper
While playing Tech in 2009, atmhockey posted a thread that will live in infamy. He had gone to the bathroom to drop a deuce and was listening to the game. His thread, titled I am afraid to get off the crapper... tells the story of how as his cheeks pressed the porcelain the Ags saw an immediate uptake in gameplay. Since he didn't want to jinx the outcome (Ags win 52-30); thanks atmhockey!
Banhammer
The weapon that "Staff" yields when someone does something to get banned from TexAgs.
BAS
Battered Aggie Syndrome... Similar to Battered Wife Syndrome; BAS is a physical and psychological condition of a person who has suffered (usually persistent) emotional and physical abuse from watching Aggie Football. Reported cases were on the rise until 2012 when the Aggies went 11-2 and beat the #1 team in the country on the road. Symptoms include: throwing remotes at the TV, wincing when someone mentions Dennis Franchione, predicting season records of 4-8, etc.
BDF
Big Dumpster Fire or Big Damn Fail Conference. The Big-"12" conference after 4 of it's better programs left the conference for greener pastures (PAC-12, B1G, and SEC, respectively) and had to beg lower-tier teams like TCU (see "Purple Baylor") and West Virginia to please, please, please come play with us so we can remain viable. Other aliases: Big Failve, The Dumpster Fire, Big 12-2-2+2, New-SWC. They are all weak teams, in the weakest power 5 conference, who all play weak schedules, and cupcakes in out of conference play.
Beer Thief
A Baylor Coed was caught stealing beer from a Frat's cooler on the day the Cubs lost to UCONN in September 2009. There was an 8-page thread on TexAgs North that got deleted; and hilarity ensued on this board. Here's her picture:
Bikerfox
Creepy dude pictured below, who is infatuated with spandex. Images of him are commonly used as a weapon to derail a thread that deserves to be derailed.
Blue Parachutes
I think these are actually a diamond or blue gem of some sort; but it's the highest compliment anyone can give your thread or post. If someone awards you a blue parachute, feel privileged, pat yourself on the back, "Good Posting, fellow!" Threads that have the Blue Parachute as the thread-topic icon are SUPER important.
Bobbliucci
R.I.P. Little Buddy.
BOWING
As in WE ARE GOING BOWING [Bowling]. A simple misspelling of a thread proclaiming our ahievement of earning a bowl berth that turned into a fun thread about bow hunting, bow ties, hair bows, etc.
BULLCRAP!
Starting QB Stephen McGee after narrowly defeating Fresno State in 2007:
Stephen: "You know what? I am so tried of hearing running game, passing game all this bullcrap. Whenever it comes down to it... were a team and we will do whatever it takes to win. And today we did that. And that what it came down to today. Just getting the ball into the endzone. All that other stuff is bullcrap. Whenever we lined up we did whatever it took to win the game. Offensively we ran the ball every freakin time and they couldn't stop it... why would you do anything different. And that's what we are about... getting the ball in the endzone." Mcgee Bullcrap Interview
bump
A verb. To bump a thread means to post something to a thread, whether recent or dug up from the past, and send it to the top of the thread-queue. Most times people just post "bump" or TTT (To the top) in order to rehash an old topic, or bring a funny thread to the beginning of the forum queue.
Cart
Cart MoCry, Cart McCoy, Colt McCoy. After being knocked out of game in 2006, squirming on the ground, and taken off the field in a motorized cart, Colt McCoy earned his moniker. (12-7 *****es)
Chernobyl Men of Kyle
From the thread Save Kyle Fields soviet block architecture; this term is used as an off-hand reference occasionally to insinuate that Aggieland looks like it was designed by Konstantin Stepanovich Melnikov
Chichen File
Commentary on the Aggie basketball players' preferences in fast food has become commonplace. If a player goes to Subway, Panda Express or Chick-fil-a, a TexAgs poster will be there to report about it. However, one day aggie2012 forever changed Chick-Fil-A reports to Chichen File reports.
Reference: Chichen File
The Circus
TexAg' pseudonym for the Basketball Board
Converting DVDs to Laserdiscs
You just simply have to read this thread... probably the greatest troll in "The Nerdery" history... Converting DVDs to laserdics
Cool Starry Bra
The vernacular pronunciation of "Cool Story Bro" which is a fairly sarcastic way of saying your story is not that interesting. Related to TL;DR except that the person who posts a "Cool Starry Brah" has implicitly admitted to actually reading the story.
CU@Kyle
This user proudly proclaimed in 2004 that, with our new JUCO linebackers coming in, "hopefully we'll be able to see some more plays like "The Hit" that Buckley put on that poor TCU running back in '91. Bring back the Wreckin' Crew!!" Unfortunately, THE HIT was made by Quentin Coryatt on a poor TCU WR... Kyle McPherson. CU@Kyle continued to vociferously defend his assertion that it was Buckley spawning several memes: any reference to CU@Kyle means you are absurdly defending the indefensible, "It was BUCKLEY!" is a sarcastic battle cry for false information, and any reference to THE HIT must be accompanied by a "It was Buckley" tag.
Dinesh Patel
The infamous chef at the CS Ramada Inn who allegedly gave food poisoning to Major Applewhite prior to our '99 upset of tu.
Do _______ have a board?
FootballAllTheWay talks ebonics - Do Miami have a board? He got blasted, and this meme was implanted into TexAgs operations.
Dollar Bill, or $Bill
Bill Byrne, former Aggie AD.
Eleventy Billion
A really, really large imaginary (or is it?) number. Something like, 11,111,111,111. Descended from a Saturday Night Live skit featuring Keanu Reeves betting this amount in the Final Jeopardy round.
Fark
A photoshop ("shop") of an image. An image that is deliberately altered to be humorous or make a point.
First
Congratulations, you were the first person to respond to a thread, and you have announced your claim as the first responder. Now everyone hates you. Also, there are several threads devoted to your demise because it just post-padding.
Fish Pond Manager
The guy who broke the story about the Texas State game in 2005 moving to a Thursday time slot said the got the info second hand from the Fish Pond Manager, and I quote, "this came from a 2 friends. one works for the university and maintains the fish pond. it was announced to him at 2 today. the other is a tech director for FSN. he said he was contacted about 6pm." There was a 3-page thread denouncing the claim until he was proven right. The poster prosports was proven right, in the end.
Germans Bombed the Moon! (or shorthand: Germans!)
After losing to Texas Tech in overtime at Kyle field in 2002, poster TAMU_91 titles a thread: "Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?" Poster GoTexasAggies is baffled, and proceeds to point out that the Germans weren't fighting us in the Pacific. And while it did indeed originate with the "Germans bombed Pearl Harbor" reference from Animal House, it is believed the "moon" addition was created from a "Dumb and Dumber" reference. From that point on, Animal House quotes flowed like the mighty Brazos entertaining all but the Amish Ags and pre-teens among us. Today, Germans Bomb the Moon means either "you don't get it" or more recently, "it's already been posted, mentioned, discussed in depth, etc."
Original thread: Germans
Get A Dog
Kevin Sumlin, upon accepting the Head Coach position at Texas A&M, said in an interview that if people were scared to play in the SEC, they needed to, "Get a Dog" instead. This became a popular phrase to intimate that someone is scared. (DEC 2011 - "I want to be around people who want to play at the highest level, want to compete in THE best conference in America and the best division in America and, if you're scared of that, GET A DOG." - Kevin Sumlin)
Hair? Ankles? Subway?
Whenever anyone on TexAgs spots a player, coach, former player, former coach, or other Aggie celebrity; you must include in your post of said encounter the perfectness of this person's hair, the thickness of his ankles with regards to durability, and whether or not that person was eating Subway. You will be mocked with "Hair? Ankles? Subway?" requests until you relent and report on these topics, so you might as well pre-emptively include it in the OP.
He Gone
Whenever there is ANY suspicion, inkling, rumor, Twitter-speak, or guess (especially from that person speaking or tweeting) that a recruit may decommit, a player may transfer, a player leaves the team (good or bad), or a coach is on his way out. Any excuse or twisting of something that person has said can be used to declare "he gone".
The Hit
See CU@Kyle above
I SAW HIM RUNNING VERY FAST AND VERY HARD, THROUGH MANY HOLES
TheGodess' post on this thread was a classic from the time she hit submit. The all caps praise of Christine Michael from 2008 became an instant TexAgs hit for Christine Michael, believers in ALL CAPS MESSAGES, and the like.
It was Buckley!
See CU@Kyle above
ITL
Inside the Loop (in Houston). Anything inside of Loop 610; aka Houston snobs and thugs.
Jake's Mom
Jake405 posted something football related and Triad blasted him in about 28 seconds flat with, "your mom (something I don't remember)". From that point forward, it became a 3-page rant about things people did to Jake's mom. At that point, it became a TexAgs legend that everyone in the Zoo, including Billy, Gabe, Brandon, and Co. all had their turn (or more) with Jake's Mom...... Jakes Mom Thread
Klanhorns
A rightfully-earned TexAgs substitution name for Longhorns because there are several buildings on the t.u. campus named after klansmen, as well as stories of poor treatment to black students on the teasip campus.
Kyle Field North (or Kyle North)
Any past, present, or future stadium built in Waco, TX for the purpose of playing football at the collegiate athletic level. Floyd Casey stadium is the current Kyle Field North, because whenever the Aggies play the bears in Waco, the stadium becomes awash in Maroon as Fightin' Texas Aggie supports flock to their "2nd home" stadium to watch the Ags dismantle the bears in front of the alleged home team. It really pisses off the carebears. This title will be passed on to the new Waco-based college football stadium whenever it is completed. The Ags will play a game there in the future (who knows when) and when that happens the maroon faithful will fill its many thousands of vacancies as is their birthright.
Letters to Cote
DecadePlan mysteriously unearthed correspondence between Vince Young and Colt McCoy about the NFL, college days, etc. VY usually displays his vast intellect, sip education, and best crayola. Cote often gets wistful about former roomie, Jordan.
List Eater
Before the 2004-2005 Cotton Bowl with Tennessee, Aggie Students had been camping out for days to buy tickets for the game versus Tennessee. There were long lines, and people had written their names onto a list by order of first-come-first-serve. On the day the tickets were to be handed out, with tents and students all around her and her boyfriend, the List Eater, seeing no "lines", waddled up to the front of the ticket booth and squatted for real estate. When confronted, she maintained that she was the first one in line that morning and so had rights to the first tickets to be distributed. When shown the list of names of people who had arrived and stayed there for DAYS in advance of her gravity-altering arrival, she took the list and ATE IT. Not chewed and spit out... SWALLOWED. The thread in all it's glory is here...
Lurker
Someone who reads the threads and forums here on TexAgs but, somehow, refrains from posting anything.
M&W
The shorthand initialism for Billy Liucci's TexAgs Premium Forum on this site. It used to be called the Maroon & White Report Forum but when everything merged in 2008, it got renamed. Cool Story Here
Mantis Shrimp
The unofficial new mascot of Texas A&M voted on by TexAgs. Back in 2008, when Rev 7 was retiring, there was huge offseason topic about whether we were pro-mutt or pro-pure breed. Whether we should take the opportunity to switch breeds, etc. The Mantis Shrimp was an invention of DecadePlan (I think). I have the picture somewhere - classic. Anyways, it's a derivation from another topic where Mantis Shrimp in general were being discussed (this thread was deleted, I think we all know why); and the Shrimp found its way into the offseason topic du jour for 2008.
Meathead
Carl Pelini, serving as Nebraska DC. For attacking a TexAgs cameraman after Texas A&M triumphantly beat Nebraska at Kyle Field in 2010 by a score of 9-6. The attack was unprovoked and M&W's Gabe Bock ranted on Carl for being a meathead. The name stuck.
Mfbarnes
Solider, Statesman, Knightly Gentleman. Former Soviet Era spy and garage building champion. Former olympic swimmer and S&C Coach for the Dallas Cowboys. Single-handedly walked on the moon without a spacesuit and composed the hit song, "Baby Got Back."
Winner of three simultaneous Heisman trophies and designer of the Tesla. Wrote a children's series which was recently adapted for screen by HBO. You know it as "Game of Thrones." He is the story's seven main characters. While no one has ever seen him, we know that he's the first person to ever learn photoshop. He also has remarkable control over his skin pigment. He's the Bruce Jenner version of Michael Jackson.
It is now acceptable to use /barnes or /mfbarnes at the end of a thread to alert the rest of TexAgs that everything you just wrote was made up, or that that picture you posted is not really your picture, your property, etc.
Mirror Out Kyle
The idea was proposed that to counter the Tech offense in October 2008, we should Mirror Out Kyle Field. Everyone was to bring a mirror and deflect the sun's rays into the QB's eyes. Tech fans got wind a kicked up a ****-storm. The "evil plan" even made their local news in Lubbock; there is video and animated gif proof of that. There was also a discussion on the possible effects of multiple rays being focused on a single point and actually blinding or melting the QB. Also, a side conversation was held about the creepy girl in the "It's the meers" commercial. And interesting MS Paint infographic plan also come from this post. It's 21 pages of greatness. President Elsa Murano even issued a warning to students and fans NOT to bring mirrors to the game to create a "'Solar Beam' of sorts"...
MNC
Mythical/Mystical National Championship - during the BCS era, the top 2 teams are chosen based on a poll and they play each other. There is no playoof, so there is no true way of determining the national champion. UNLESS, the two teams that play are both undefeated and are both from "power" conferences. Otherwise, some team that was in 3rd or 4th in the polls, and has a legitimate claim to being in the top-2, will ***** and moan about being left out. Therefore, the National Cahmpionship is only a myth until the playoff system is put in place.
Moran
A moron, but intentionally misspelled because some doofus did this back in 2002 or somesuch and the spelling stuck as a permanent tribute to said doofus - intentional misspellings are a common theme here.
Name Association
When a thread gets completely derailed via posters playing Name Association. Usually happens when a thread loses purpose.
No-Jumpers
In June of 2007, DeAndre Jordan made it to campus. Aggieboy19 was lucky enough to see him practicing. He was most impressed with what he called his "no-jumpers". No-jumpers immediately entered the TexAgs lexicon and "How are his no jumpers" became the "How are his ankles" of the basketball board.
Reference: No-Jumpers Thread
OBGYN
The TexAgs pseudonym for the General Board on this website. It is worse than the zoo; a cacophony of immaturity like you have never seen before. Nothing serious can take place on this forum. Note: Not to be confused with Orangebloods.com (OB), the t-sip forum from the other site (see TOS below) though probably a more apt name for OB because they are a bunch of vajayjays.
***OFFICIAL THREADS***
A thread isn't **OFFICIAL** unless the thread title is enclosed with a pair of at least two (2) asterisks (**); if it's REALLY important (like official game threads) it should have four (4) or more asterisks (****).
OP
The original post on the thread the first post on this thread topic-, OR the Original Poster on this thread, the person who started it. Ex: In the OP, StrongbadAg states Ex2: The OP of this thread is a sip and not to be trusted.
Orange Water Coolers
This was a primary complaint of the offseason of 2003 & 2004. Some posters, now that they had a voice in the community, elected to ***** about the color of the standard water cooler to Bill Byrne (that is bright orange). "Why can't we have MAROON WATER COOLERS?!?" Trying to get rid of everything associated with the t-sips is a noble cause, and should not be frowned down upon. Therefore, Orange Water Coolers become the battle cry of any random offseason thread that requested something be changed in our gameday. (see also: gameday entrance, gameday music, cheerleaders, smoke, cartoonish human mascot, corps bloc, etc.) It is also the alternative verbiage used to convey the message of False Outrage or Faux Outrage.
OTL
Outside the Loop (in Houston). Anything outside of Loop 610; aka Houston Suburbia.
Page 1
Derivations: Page Juan, P1, Pagina Uno, etc.
People who suspect a certain thread will become a classic, or that it will be a LONG LONG thread with lots of interesting discussion or arguing will often post "Page 1!" in order to stake their claim as being one of the first 35 people to have viewed this thread before it became so popular and a topic of other threads that discuss this thread.
PJ Tucker is still dribbling...
During a 2006 men's basketball contest in College Station, Longhorn player PJ Tucker allowed the shot clock to expire in a tie game by just casually dribbling. This allowed A&M standout Acie Law to make a game winning shot at the buzzer and forever live in infamy as "The Shot"
point being, and i've said this for years, that the hardest route to defend is a come-back when the CB's back is turned.
Go to this link. Read the entire thread, word by word, until the redundancy set in. Memorize it, because any part of this quote can be extracted and used in another thread, and you are expected to know from where it came and how it applies.
Poll Domination
Starting with the original Planter's Online Poll in 2004. (we cheated using a program designed by user: 1996 Commons Front Desk, see "The Program is voting for Bama" below)
Poopslap
A bet made with someone where the loser has to take his own fresh bowel evacuation and slap himself in the face with it on video (for proof). Normally, this bet is made in order to force a desirable outcome. The first poopslap bet was made by JRS04 in 2010 where he offered, " If we go 9-3 I will take a dump in my hand and slap myself in the face with it and post the video on youtube. Not going to happen." He went into hiding, but was first spotted after we went 9-3 in 2010 on the Automotive board where he was called out to pay up on his bet and refused saying, "Haha I am glad you guys are so into the crapper slapper ridiculous comment I made that you followed me on my first post in months. Some times I forget how intense aggies are. I'm not doing it, I learned my lesson guys! Sorry! I have had some great laughs at the pictures some people have posted."
The Poors
Members of the Zoo who either do not, or claim to not, be able to afford the premium site.
Post-Padding
Making multiple replies in a row, using responses like "First" or "Page 1", or simply posting a blank reply with an icon. These are all forms of post-padding, or adding fluff to your total post count to make it seem like you are a relevant TexAgger by way of volume.
Potbangers
A pessimistic form of Aggie who always knows the backup quarterback is better than the starter, the new coach is always better than the old coach, and that no matter what, "Battered Aggie Syndrome" is the best way to go through life. This type of Aggie / fan has nothing good to say about the University, the Football Team, or life in general.
POTD/POTY
Post Of The Day for a particularly clever post.
Post Of The Year for an exceptional post that is likely to become reference material and bump worthy.
Profiting (the 4-steps)
From the South Park - Underpants Gnomes episode, adapted for TexAgs (or anything else)
1. Engage in some kind of activity
2. Further engagement, heightening curiosity
3. ?????
4. Profit
The Program is voting for Bama
During an online poll in 2008 that we expected to dominate, we were in a tight race with Alabama for 1st place; Bama was leading though. Then an internet poster named "1996 Commons Front Desk" started a thread claiming he was the one who invented the Planter's Poll Program. Due to the wide use by TexAgs, we pulled way ahead. Then Alabama fans did one of three things: invented their own program, stole ours and used it against us, or hacked our program to vote for them insead. No one could figure it out and the cry of "The Program is voting for Bama!" went out, and psoters begged people to stop using the program, because no one could figure out who it was actually voting for or if it was voting at all... Hilarity ensued, and we lost a poll. 1996CFD later admitted that the program only incremented the number within the program and didn't vote at all... link: The Program is voting for Bama
Purple Baylor TCU; basically any team can be called [school color]- Baylor, but it's mostly used for TCU. This is to signify that there is no real difference between any of the schools in the BDF ( aka Big Failve, aka Big 12); they are all weak teams, in the weakest power 5 conference, who all play weak schedules, and cupcakes out of conference.
Ranger65
aka Robert Gates, Former Texas A&M President, CIA Director, and Secretary of Defense for GW Bush and Barack Obama. When he left the university, he "broke cover" on TexAgs and revealed that he was, in fact, Ranger65
Rick Barnes has removed his name for consideration
During the Kentucky Basketball Head Coach search, it was widely rumored that Rick Barnes was interested but then made very public that he had removed his name from consideration, per Andy Katz at ESPN. Because of all the drama, Rick Barnes immediately removes his name from consideration for any opening in any sport at any level for eternity. We all know he is eligible to coach any sport, anytime, anywhere he wants he's THAT good. But he just loves t.u. so much, why would he go anywhere else?
Ringy
The Unofficial Unofficial Mascot
Rule #1
The ultimate TexAgs rule. Whenever a female is mentioned as a primary topic, the post must be accompanied with a picture of said female (over 18 only) for TexAgs to view and/or rate on the 2/10 WNB system. This is mandatory. All discussion will stop with "Rule #1" requests until the request is acknowledged. So don't mention your mom, your sister, your girlfriend, your daughter, your cousin, your niece, your wife, or your friend-who's-a-girl-but-not-your-girlfriend without paying homage to Rule #1.
Schedule Release Date
After a year of having an account on TexAgs, jgarza0203 posted a thread titled, "Schedule Release Date" and the only message was, "Schedule Release Date." The Men's Basketball board proceeded to give him s*** for several pages. Includes great photoshops and a totally awesome Venn Diagram. Schedule Release Date Thread
Sex Flag
An unfortunate title for a thread started by llondono12 asking for details on where to find an SEC flag. Spawned several pages of responses mostly containing crude and hilarious innuendo and speculation on the sex lives of other TexAgs posters. Title later edited by Staff to save llondono12 from eternal TexAgs infamy. LINK:SEX Flag
SIAP
Sorry If Already Posted; meaning you didn't really take the time to examine the first 2-3 pages of the forum, but you think you have new information and are eager to post it and be "the hero" who posted this new topic of discussion. Trust me, it's already been posted.
Solari Face
This is the face that Steve Solari uses whenever he posts... most of the time he only posts this face with no message.
Snake Pit
The fake-alternative name for Kyle Field. Don't really know the origin of this. I know there was thread about it like 4-5 years ago, but I think it came from some newspaper article where they couldn't figure out why we were hissing in the "Horse's Laugh" yell.
Staff
Anyone one the TexAgs staff: Owners, Writers, Senior Moderators, Junior Moderators, etc.
Stocker
Everyone knows the words stalker and stocker are interchangeable at least on TexAgs. You can use stocker here, and are encouraged to do so, whenever someone posts especially revealing information about another person from a shady source like twitter, facebook, google search, first hand account, etc. The only thing that will get you in trouble is not reading this first and attempting to correct someone for using "stocker" instead of "stalker" that is a NO NO.
Stunned Okie
From the 2004 game where Texas A&M went into Stillwater and defeated the OSU Cowboys 36-20 (leading 36-6 at the end of the 3rd quarter). OSU was ranked #15 at the time and their fanbase was talking so much crap before the game. Then on National TV, they panned teh faces of the crwod after the Aggies went up 20-0 in the 1st quarter and took a 27-6 lead into the locker room. Stunned Okie was in the crowd in all his Oversized Foam Cowboy Hat Glory:
Stunned Okie has been featured in numerous TexAgs threads throughout the years, but my favorite is probably Stunned Okie Fan's Journey Through Time
Sunshine Pumper
Someone who is emphatically optimistic about the University and the Football Team. It doesn't matter that we just lost to Iowa State 52-9 or that 4 of our Defensive Tackle recruits didn't qualify... life is good, and the Aggies are going to win the MNC!
T&P
Sometimes prayer requests are solicited, and the minimum response requirement, acknowledging that you have read the request and are a thinking, feeling human being is to reply with "T&P" and sad face. There are other times to use it (sometimes even sarcastically or humorously), but this is usually a reverent one.
Take it to the _____ Board
The implication is that the topic you've posted does not fit the theme for the board on which it has been posted. The suggested board for the topic to be taken to can be a real board or an imaginary board... the point is, your thread is not related to the Forum-Theme and the TexAgs police are here to correct you.
Tarp of Shame
To hide the fact that they cannot fill up their current, old 50,000-person capacity stadium with its own fans, Baylor U decided to install a mega-tarp with the words "This is Bear Country" to take up seats in the endzone. The logic is that "if WE can't fill it up, NO ONE can fill it up". The Tarp is referenced whenever Baylor is joked about, especially in regards to football, fan-bases, stadiums, or attendance of any event in general. (Phrase Coined by HeyMoe on Rivalries)
Tards
Started off as a condescending term for Texas Tech alum and fans. But now we have TcehTards (see below: TCEH), BibleTards, MountainTards, PurpleTards, etc. All references to Big XII(-2+2-2) schools.
TCEH
The proper referral for Texas Tech, because of well:
TexAgs North
See Kyle Field North. Just as the cubbies stadium is named for the real home team whenever the two teams meet; so too is their fan-based mockery of a web forum. TexAgs North (aka BaylorFans.com) is so named because Baylor has not the enthusiasm nor the numbers to stake a claim to their own fanaticism; therefore, it is encumbant upon Aggies to supplement their numbers with our own. In so doing, we claim praenomen; to name the site (or stadium) as is our right. www.texagsnorth.com still points to BaylorFans.com
The Tine
Or just "tine". Shorthand for the shorthand H-tine; refers to either the city of Houston or to the Houston Board on this website. It's full of Houstonites who are fanatical about Houston and the oddities and idiosyncrasies that make the town embarrassing, humorous, and, at the same time, great. (the best city in Texas, IMO)
thoed
Houston Board vernacular for Drunk, Throwed, High, Out-of-your-mind...
TL;DR or [TLDNR]
Too Long; Didn't Read or Too Long Did Not Read; one could argue that this post qualifies. People post this, mostly to be immature, as a beacon to attract attention to themselves because they are "too cool" to read an entire post if it is more than a sentence or two. Also, if someone goes on a rant, this can be used to signify that the rant is not important enough to read so they are mocking the ranter by saying, "haha, you put all that time into posting and we are not even going to read it"
Torbush, [/torbush], Torbush Wow!
In 2004, when the Ags were getting throttled by Utah in the season opener, Carl Torbush, on national TV, was shown mouthing "WOW!" really prominently as Utah scored yet another Touchdown against his "blitzing off the bus" defense. Now, instead of saying "wow" to a surprising event or statement, we use "Torbush!"
TOS
The Other Site. You must not reference or link to other Aggie Sports Communities because it sends traffic their way and detracts from the awesomeness of this site or so the theory goes.
Underrated Post
If someone earlier in the thread makes a post that is not responded to, or is funny and no one seems to be getting the joke or reference, you are allowed (maybe even obligated) to quote said post in a new post and type "Underrated Post" as the reply. This gains the poster of the quoted material the recognition he deserves, it allows others to review the post and acknowledge it, and it makes you a hero for being a thoughtful community member. Now that post is no longer underrated, thank you.
Visor Guy
He's a guy. He wears a visor. Oh and he stands and yells the entire game, every game, from the North-East Top Corner of the Zone. He will also lead the student section in Yells when he feels like the many distracting commercials and gameday-goodies are causing the student body to lose interest in the game, or when the Yell Leaders are being told they cannot do a yell by our AD for whatever reason. The Yell Leaders no longer have authority to simply lead yells when they deem it okay, they have to get permission, somewhat. Anyways, it's all become very scripted; and VISOR GUY is to the rescue! Did I mention he yells a lot, really loud a lot?
Vore, voring
Dominating a poll by voting. See "Poll Domination" and "The Program is voting for Bama!" above. A late-night typo by user steadfasttuna created "the vore". Steadfasttuna later commented, "i feel honored that my late night (sortof) typo has gotten references in other threads!! From now on lets vore on everything!" And so we shall.
Waffle House
Every SEC school's campus town has a waffle house. To be officially recognized as an SEC institution, beyond the induction on July 1, 2012; we need to establish a Waffle House in College Station or forever remain the red-headed step-child of the SEC. (Mizzou this includes you)
"We Know Stuff"
The unofficial motto of TexAgs.com. From AggieGrant06 busting the Rhett Bomar scandal, to tracking down bows and four-wheelers, to charting flights on FlightAware.com, the TexAgs community has a propensity for finding things, scooping stories, tracking down people, and generally just "knowing stuff".
We need to show up to Kyle Field with a Furry!
A thread on Premium (sorry non members) from this past season (2011) meant to fire Ags up for the OSU game... Obviously the thread went in a different direction...
The Zoo
A nickname for the free football board on this site - i.e. this forum (i.e2. you're in the zoo now) - because of the animalistic way we go about our business. No poster, topic, or idea is unassailable except staff; hi staff!
note: I know there are a hell of alot more, if you are going to suggest others, please include a link and a good description that I can copy and paste to the OP, thanks
note2: please bookmark this thread or save it on your watchlist to post for others who have questions about TexAgs.com memes
(this has been updated to include suggestion through page 11, so far)

POSTING POLICY
TexAgs.com has been around for 10 years, and has grown from one board to well over thirty in that time. Because of this, each forum has developed into a sub-community with its own social norms and mores. For this reason, before you begin posting in a forum spend some time getting to know the personality of some of the posters and the way that the board reacts to certain subjects and posting styles. While the general do's and don'ts still apply to each forum, there may be subtle differences in their enforcement within each forum.
Would you know what I meant if I said: TexAgs needed eleventy-billion mantis shrimp to feed ListEater because we are going bowing THROUGH MANY HOLES after we mirror out Texas Tech in the Snake Pit while eating waffles from orange water coolers? All because the fish pond manager told atmhockey to sit on the crapper while voring in an online poll, you moran!
I'll try to keep these alphabetical, so please if you have something to add that is a meme, type the subject in bold and the rest in regular font, like this:
Example
Description of the TexAgs meme perhaps with a url reference to the material (if possible)
..............
I'll start with a few off the top of my head:
2/10 would not bang (WNB)
A rating system for any picture posted of any girl. No matter how gorgeous the woman is, TexAgs.com's community has higher standards. It usually implies that whatever female was posted is extremely hot and/or desirable but, in true TexAgs fashion, we must remind ourselves how sarcastic we should be with our fellow Aggies. Plus we're just snooty. Ryan Tannehill's wife? 2/10 WNB. Adriana Lima? 2/10 WNB. Brooke Burke? 2/10 WNB. Ingrid Vandebosch? You guess it: 2/10 WNB. This has been shortened also to "would", "would not", or "WNB". Also, the Houston board uses a much more simple version of binary rating: 1 = Would, 0 = WNB
AggieGrant06
The poster who infamously busted OU in the Big Red Sports & Imports scandal. He busted the story on 30-Jan-2006 and was profoundly abused on the first page. A little over 6 months later, the story broke in the media that OU was under investigation; someone bumped the thread, and it went from 1 page to over 70 pages (as of 5/18/2012). AggeGrant06 was mentioned in several news articles as the person who "blew the whistle" on OU pat on the back.
AO
TexAg' initialism or shorthand for the Aggies Only Board. You have to have an AgTag and be a paying member to post there. (see The Poors below)
atmhockey and the good luck crapper
While playing Tech in 2009, atmhockey posted a thread that will live in infamy. He had gone to the bathroom to drop a deuce and was listening to the game. His thread, titled I am afraid to get off the crapper... tells the story of how as his cheeks pressed the porcelain the Ags saw an immediate uptake in gameplay. Since he didn't want to jinx the outcome (Ags win 52-30); thanks atmhockey!
Banhammer
The weapon that "Staff" yields when someone does something to get banned from TexAgs.
BAS
Battered Aggie Syndrome... Similar to Battered Wife Syndrome; BAS is a physical and psychological condition of a person who has suffered (usually persistent) emotional and physical abuse from watching Aggie Football. Reported cases were on the rise until 2012 when the Aggies went 11-2 and beat the #1 team in the country on the road. Symptoms include: throwing remotes at the TV, wincing when someone mentions Dennis Franchione, predicting season records of 4-8, etc.
BDF
Big Dumpster Fire or Big Damn Fail Conference. The Big-"12" conference after 4 of it's better programs left the conference for greener pastures (PAC-12, B1G, and SEC, respectively) and had to beg lower-tier teams like TCU (see "Purple Baylor") and West Virginia to please, please, please come play with us so we can remain viable. Other aliases: Big Failve, The Dumpster Fire, Big 12-2-2+2, New-SWC. They are all weak teams, in the weakest power 5 conference, who all play weak schedules, and cupcakes in out of conference play.
Beer Thief
A Baylor Coed was caught stealing beer from a Frat's cooler on the day the Cubs lost to UCONN in September 2009. There was an 8-page thread on TexAgs North that got deleted; and hilarity ensued on this board. Here's her picture:
Bikerfox
Creepy dude pictured below, who is infatuated with spandex. Images of him are commonly used as a weapon to derail a thread that deserves to be derailed.
Blue ParachutesI think these are actually a diamond or blue gem of some sort; but it's the highest compliment anyone can give your thread or post. If someone awards you a blue parachute, feel privileged, pat yourself on the back, "Good Posting, fellow!" Threads that have the Blue Parachute as the thread-topic icon are SUPER important.
Bobbliucci
R.I.P. Little Buddy.
BOWING
As in WE ARE GOING BOWING [Bowling]. A simple misspelling of a thread proclaiming our ahievement of earning a bowl berth that turned into a fun thread about bow hunting, bow ties, hair bows, etc.
BULLCRAP!
Starting QB Stephen McGee after narrowly defeating Fresno State in 2007:
Stephen: "You know what? I am so tried of hearing running game, passing game all this bullcrap. Whenever it comes down to it... were a team and we will do whatever it takes to win. And today we did that. And that what it came down to today. Just getting the ball into the endzone. All that other stuff is bullcrap. Whenever we lined up we did whatever it took to win the game. Offensively we ran the ball every freakin time and they couldn't stop it... why would you do anything different. And that's what we are about... getting the ball in the endzone." Mcgee Bullcrap Interview
bump
A verb. To bump a thread means to post something to a thread, whether recent or dug up from the past, and send it to the top of the thread-queue. Most times people just post "bump" or TTT (To the top) in order to rehash an old topic, or bring a funny thread to the beginning of the forum queue.
Cart
Cart MoCry, Cart McCoy, Colt McCoy. After being knocked out of game in 2006, squirming on the ground, and taken off the field in a motorized cart, Colt McCoy earned his moniker. (12-7 *****es)
Chernobyl Men of Kyle
From the thread Save Kyle Fields soviet block architecture; this term is used as an off-hand reference occasionally to insinuate that Aggieland looks like it was designed by Konstantin Stepanovich Melnikov
Chichen File
Commentary on the Aggie basketball players' preferences in fast food has become commonplace. If a player goes to Subway, Panda Express or Chick-fil-a, a TexAgs poster will be there to report about it. However, one day aggie2012 forever changed Chick-Fil-A reports to Chichen File reports.
Reference: Chichen File
The Circus
TexAg' pseudonym for the Basketball Board
Converting DVDs to Laserdiscs
You just simply have to read this thread... probably the greatest troll in "The Nerdery" history... Converting DVDs to laserdics
Cool Starry Bra
The vernacular pronunciation of "Cool Story Bro" which is a fairly sarcastic way of saying your story is not that interesting. Related to TL;DR except that the person who posts a "Cool Starry Brah" has implicitly admitted to actually reading the story.
CU@Kyle
This user proudly proclaimed in 2004 that, with our new JUCO linebackers coming in, "hopefully we'll be able to see some more plays like "The Hit" that Buckley put on that poor TCU running back in '91. Bring back the Wreckin' Crew!!" Unfortunately, THE HIT was made by Quentin Coryatt on a poor TCU WR... Kyle McPherson. CU@Kyle continued to vociferously defend his assertion that it was Buckley spawning several memes: any reference to CU@Kyle means you are absurdly defending the indefensible, "It was BUCKLEY!" is a sarcastic battle cry for false information, and any reference to THE HIT must be accompanied by a "It was Buckley" tag.
Dinesh Patel
The infamous chef at the CS Ramada Inn who allegedly gave food poisoning to Major Applewhite prior to our '99 upset of tu.
Do _______ have a board?
FootballAllTheWay talks ebonics - Do Miami have a board? He got blasted, and this meme was implanted into TexAgs operations.
Dollar Bill, or $Bill
Bill Byrne, former Aggie AD.
Eleventy Billion
A really, really large imaginary (or is it?) number. Something like, 11,111,111,111. Descended from a Saturday Night Live skit featuring Keanu Reeves betting this amount in the Final Jeopardy round.
Fark
A photoshop ("shop") of an image. An image that is deliberately altered to be humorous or make a point.
First
Congratulations, you were the first person to respond to a thread, and you have announced your claim as the first responder. Now everyone hates you. Also, there are several threads devoted to your demise because it just post-padding.
Fish Pond Manager
The guy who broke the story about the Texas State game in 2005 moving to a Thursday time slot said the got the info second hand from the Fish Pond Manager, and I quote, "this came from a 2 friends. one works for the university and maintains the fish pond. it was announced to him at 2 today. the other is a tech director for FSN. he said he was contacted about 6pm." There was a 3-page thread denouncing the claim until he was proven right. The poster prosports was proven right, in the end.
Germans Bombed the Moon! (or shorthand: Germans!)
After losing to Texas Tech in overtime at Kyle field in 2002, poster TAMU_91 titles a thread: "Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?" Poster GoTexasAggies is baffled, and proceeds to point out that the Germans weren't fighting us in the Pacific. And while it did indeed originate with the "Germans bombed Pearl Harbor" reference from Animal House, it is believed the "moon" addition was created from a "Dumb and Dumber" reference. From that point on, Animal House quotes flowed like the mighty Brazos entertaining all but the Amish Ags and pre-teens among us. Today, Germans Bomb the Moon means either "you don't get it" or more recently, "it's already been posted, mentioned, discussed in depth, etc."
Original thread: Germans
Get A Dog
Kevin Sumlin, upon accepting the Head Coach position at Texas A&M, said in an interview that if people were scared to play in the SEC, they needed to, "Get a Dog" instead. This became a popular phrase to intimate that someone is scared. (DEC 2011 - "I want to be around people who want to play at the highest level, want to compete in THE best conference in America and the best division in America and, if you're scared of that, GET A DOG." - Kevin Sumlin)
Hair? Ankles? Subway?
Whenever anyone on TexAgs spots a player, coach, former player, former coach, or other Aggie celebrity; you must include in your post of said encounter the perfectness of this person's hair, the thickness of his ankles with regards to durability, and whether or not that person was eating Subway. You will be mocked with "Hair? Ankles? Subway?" requests until you relent and report on these topics, so you might as well pre-emptively include it in the OP.
He Gone
Whenever there is ANY suspicion, inkling, rumor, Twitter-speak, or guess (especially from that person speaking or tweeting) that a recruit may decommit, a player may transfer, a player leaves the team (good or bad), or a coach is on his way out. Any excuse or twisting of something that person has said can be used to declare "he gone".
The Hit
See CU@Kyle above
I SAW HIM RUNNING VERY FAST AND VERY HARD, THROUGH MANY HOLES
TheGodess' post on this thread was a classic from the time she hit submit. The all caps praise of Christine Michael from 2008 became an instant TexAgs hit for Christine Michael, believers in ALL CAPS MESSAGES, and the like.
It was Buckley!
See CU@Kyle above
ITL
Inside the Loop (in Houston). Anything inside of Loop 610; aka Houston snobs and thugs.
Jake's Mom
Jake405 posted something football related and Triad blasted him in about 28 seconds flat with, "your mom (something I don't remember)". From that point forward, it became a 3-page rant about things people did to Jake's mom. At that point, it became a TexAgs legend that everyone in the Zoo, including Billy, Gabe, Brandon, and Co. all had their turn (or more) with Jake's Mom...... Jakes Mom Thread
Klanhorns
A rightfully-earned TexAgs substitution name for Longhorns because there are several buildings on the t.u. campus named after klansmen, as well as stories of poor treatment to black students on the teasip campus.
Kyle Field North (or Kyle North)
Any past, present, or future stadium built in Waco, TX for the purpose of playing football at the collegiate athletic level. Floyd Casey stadium is the current Kyle Field North, because whenever the Aggies play the bears in Waco, the stadium becomes awash in Maroon as Fightin' Texas Aggie supports flock to their "2nd home" stadium to watch the Ags dismantle the bears in front of the alleged home team. It really pisses off the carebears. This title will be passed on to the new Waco-based college football stadium whenever it is completed. The Ags will play a game there in the future (who knows when) and when that happens the maroon faithful will fill its many thousands of vacancies as is their birthright.
Letters to Cote
DecadePlan mysteriously unearthed correspondence between Vince Young and Colt McCoy about the NFL, college days, etc. VY usually displays his vast intellect, sip education, and best crayola. Cote often gets wistful about former roomie, Jordan.
List Eater
Before the 2004-2005 Cotton Bowl with Tennessee, Aggie Students had been camping out for days to buy tickets for the game versus Tennessee. There were long lines, and people had written their names onto a list by order of first-come-first-serve. On the day the tickets were to be handed out, with tents and students all around her and her boyfriend, the List Eater, seeing no "lines", waddled up to the front of the ticket booth and squatted for real estate. When confronted, she maintained that she was the first one in line that morning and so had rights to the first tickets to be distributed. When shown the list of names of people who had arrived and stayed there for DAYS in advance of her gravity-altering arrival, she took the list and ATE IT. Not chewed and spit out... SWALLOWED. The thread in all it's glory is here...
Lurker
Someone who reads the threads and forums here on TexAgs but, somehow, refrains from posting anything.
M&W
The shorthand initialism for Billy Liucci's TexAgs Premium Forum on this site. It used to be called the Maroon & White Report Forum but when everything merged in 2008, it got renamed. Cool Story Here
Mantis Shrimp
The unofficial new mascot of Texas A&M voted on by TexAgs. Back in 2008, when Rev 7 was retiring, there was huge offseason topic about whether we were pro-mutt or pro-pure breed. Whether we should take the opportunity to switch breeds, etc. The Mantis Shrimp was an invention of DecadePlan (I think). I have the picture somewhere - classic. Anyways, it's a derivation from another topic where Mantis Shrimp in general were being discussed (this thread was deleted, I think we all know why); and the Shrimp found its way into the offseason topic du jour for 2008.
Meathead
Carl Pelini, serving as Nebraska DC. For attacking a TexAgs cameraman after Texas A&M triumphantly beat Nebraska at Kyle Field in 2010 by a score of 9-6. The attack was unprovoked and M&W's Gabe Bock ranted on Carl for being a meathead. The name stuck.
Mfbarnes
Solider, Statesman, Knightly Gentleman. Former Soviet Era spy and garage building champion. Former olympic swimmer and S&C Coach for the Dallas Cowboys. Single-handedly walked on the moon without a spacesuit and composed the hit song, "Baby Got Back."
Winner of three simultaneous Heisman trophies and designer of the Tesla. Wrote a children's series which was recently adapted for screen by HBO. You know it as "Game of Thrones." He is the story's seven main characters. While no one has ever seen him, we know that he's the first person to ever learn photoshop. He also has remarkable control over his skin pigment. He's the Bruce Jenner version of Michael Jackson.
It is now acceptable to use /barnes or /mfbarnes at the end of a thread to alert the rest of TexAgs that everything you just wrote was made up, or that that picture you posted is not really your picture, your property, etc.
Mirror Out Kyle
The idea was proposed that to counter the Tech offense in October 2008, we should Mirror Out Kyle Field. Everyone was to bring a mirror and deflect the sun's rays into the QB's eyes. Tech fans got wind a kicked up a ****-storm. The "evil plan" even made their local news in Lubbock; there is video and animated gif proof of that. There was also a discussion on the possible effects of multiple rays being focused on a single point and actually blinding or melting the QB. Also, a side conversation was held about the creepy girl in the "It's the meers" commercial. And interesting MS Paint infographic plan also come from this post. It's 21 pages of greatness. President Elsa Murano even issued a warning to students and fans NOT to bring mirrors to the game to create a "'Solar Beam' of sorts"...
MNC
Mythical/Mystical National Championship - during the BCS era, the top 2 teams are chosen based on a poll and they play each other. There is no playoof, so there is no true way of determining the national champion. UNLESS, the two teams that play are both undefeated and are both from "power" conferences. Otherwise, some team that was in 3rd or 4th in the polls, and has a legitimate claim to being in the top-2, will ***** and moan about being left out. Therefore, the National Cahmpionship is only a myth until the playoff system is put in place.
Moran
A moron, but intentionally misspelled because some doofus did this back in 2002 or somesuch and the spelling stuck as a permanent tribute to said doofus - intentional misspellings are a common theme here.
Name Association
When a thread gets completely derailed via posters playing Name Association. Usually happens when a thread loses purpose.
No-Jumpers
In June of 2007, DeAndre Jordan made it to campus. Aggieboy19 was lucky enough to see him practicing. He was most impressed with what he called his "no-jumpers". No-jumpers immediately entered the TexAgs lexicon and "How are his no jumpers" became the "How are his ankles" of the basketball board.
Reference: No-Jumpers Thread
OBGYN
The TexAgs pseudonym for the General Board on this website. It is worse than the zoo; a cacophony of immaturity like you have never seen before. Nothing serious can take place on this forum. Note: Not to be confused with Orangebloods.com (OB), the t-sip forum from the other site (see TOS below) though probably a more apt name for OB because they are a bunch of vajayjays.
***OFFICIAL THREADS***
A thread isn't **OFFICIAL** unless the thread title is enclosed with a pair of at least two (2) asterisks (**); if it's REALLY important (like official game threads) it should have four (4) or more asterisks (****).
OP
The original post on the thread the first post on this thread topic-, OR the Original Poster on this thread, the person who started it. Ex: In the OP, StrongbadAg states Ex2: The OP of this thread is a sip and not to be trusted.
Orange Water Coolers
This was a primary complaint of the offseason of 2003 & 2004. Some posters, now that they had a voice in the community, elected to ***** about the color of the standard water cooler to Bill Byrne (that is bright orange). "Why can't we have MAROON WATER COOLERS?!?" Trying to get rid of everything associated with the t-sips is a noble cause, and should not be frowned down upon. Therefore, Orange Water Coolers become the battle cry of any random offseason thread that requested something be changed in our gameday. (see also: gameday entrance, gameday music, cheerleaders, smoke, cartoonish human mascot, corps bloc, etc.) It is also the alternative verbiage used to convey the message of False Outrage or Faux Outrage.
OTL
Outside the Loop (in Houston). Anything outside of Loop 610; aka Houston Suburbia.
Page 1
Derivations: Page Juan, P1, Pagina Uno, etc.
People who suspect a certain thread will become a classic, or that it will be a LONG LONG thread with lots of interesting discussion or arguing will often post "Page 1!" in order to stake their claim as being one of the first 35 people to have viewed this thread before it became so popular and a topic of other threads that discuss this thread.
PJ Tucker is still dribbling...
During a 2006 men's basketball contest in College Station, Longhorn player PJ Tucker allowed the shot clock to expire in a tie game by just casually dribbling. This allowed A&M standout Acie Law to make a game winning shot at the buzzer and forever live in infamy as "The Shot"
point being, and i've said this for years, that the hardest route to defend is a come-back when the CB's back is turned.
Go to this link. Read the entire thread, word by word, until the redundancy set in. Memorize it, because any part of this quote can be extracted and used in another thread, and you are expected to know from where it came and how it applies.
Poll Domination
Starting with the original Planter's Online Poll in 2004. (we cheated using a program designed by user: 1996 Commons Front Desk, see "The Program is voting for Bama" below)
Poopslap
A bet made with someone where the loser has to take his own fresh bowel evacuation and slap himself in the face with it on video (for proof). Normally, this bet is made in order to force a desirable outcome. The first poopslap bet was made by JRS04 in 2010 where he offered, " If we go 9-3 I will take a dump in my hand and slap myself in the face with it and post the video on youtube. Not going to happen." He went into hiding, but was first spotted after we went 9-3 in 2010 on the Automotive board where he was called out to pay up on his bet and refused saying, "Haha I am glad you guys are so into the crapper slapper ridiculous comment I made that you followed me on my first post in months. Some times I forget how intense aggies are. I'm not doing it, I learned my lesson guys! Sorry! I have had some great laughs at the pictures some people have posted."
The Poors
Members of the Zoo who either do not, or claim to not, be able to afford the premium site.
Post-Padding
Making multiple replies in a row, using responses like "First" or "Page 1", or simply posting a blank reply with an icon. These are all forms of post-padding, or adding fluff to your total post count to make it seem like you are a relevant TexAgger by way of volume.
Potbangers
A pessimistic form of Aggie who always knows the backup quarterback is better than the starter, the new coach is always better than the old coach, and that no matter what, "Battered Aggie Syndrome" is the best way to go through life. This type of Aggie / fan has nothing good to say about the University, the Football Team, or life in general.
POTD/POTY
Post Of The Day for a particularly clever post.
Post Of The Year for an exceptional post that is likely to become reference material and bump worthy.
Profiting (the 4-steps)
From the South Park - Underpants Gnomes episode, adapted for TexAgs (or anything else)
1. Engage in some kind of activity
2. Further engagement, heightening curiosity
3. ?????
4. Profit
The Program is voting for Bama
During an online poll in 2008 that we expected to dominate, we were in a tight race with Alabama for 1st place; Bama was leading though. Then an internet poster named "1996 Commons Front Desk" started a thread claiming he was the one who invented the Planter's Poll Program. Due to the wide use by TexAgs, we pulled way ahead. Then Alabama fans did one of three things: invented their own program, stole ours and used it against us, or hacked our program to vote for them insead. No one could figure it out and the cry of "The Program is voting for Bama!" went out, and psoters begged people to stop using the program, because no one could figure out who it was actually voting for or if it was voting at all... Hilarity ensued, and we lost a poll. 1996CFD later admitted that the program only incremented the number within the program and didn't vote at all... link: The Program is voting for Bama
Purple Baylor TCU; basically any team can be called [school color]- Baylor, but it's mostly used for TCU. This is to signify that there is no real difference between any of the schools in the BDF ( aka Big Failve, aka Big 12); they are all weak teams, in the weakest power 5 conference, who all play weak schedules, and cupcakes out of conference.
Ranger65
aka Robert Gates, Former Texas A&M President, CIA Director, and Secretary of Defense for GW Bush and Barack Obama. When he left the university, he "broke cover" on TexAgs and revealed that he was, in fact, Ranger65
Rick Barnes has removed his name for consideration
During the Kentucky Basketball Head Coach search, it was widely rumored that Rick Barnes was interested but then made very public that he had removed his name from consideration, per Andy Katz at ESPN. Because of all the drama, Rick Barnes immediately removes his name from consideration for any opening in any sport at any level for eternity. We all know he is eligible to coach any sport, anytime, anywhere he wants he's THAT good. But he just loves t.u. so much, why would he go anywhere else?
Ringy
The Unofficial Unofficial Mascot
Rule #1
The ultimate TexAgs rule. Whenever a female is mentioned as a primary topic, the post must be accompanied with a picture of said female (over 18 only) for TexAgs to view and/or rate on the 2/10 WNB system. This is mandatory. All discussion will stop with "Rule #1" requests until the request is acknowledged. So don't mention your mom, your sister, your girlfriend, your daughter, your cousin, your niece, your wife, or your friend-who's-a-girl-but-not-your-girlfriend without paying homage to Rule #1.
Schedule Release Date
After a year of having an account on TexAgs, jgarza0203 posted a thread titled, "Schedule Release Date" and the only message was, "Schedule Release Date." The Men's Basketball board proceeded to give him s*** for several pages. Includes great photoshops and a totally awesome Venn Diagram. Schedule Release Date Thread
Sex Flag
An unfortunate title for a thread started by llondono12 asking for details on where to find an SEC flag. Spawned several pages of responses mostly containing crude and hilarious innuendo and speculation on the sex lives of other TexAgs posters. Title later edited by Staff to save llondono12 from eternal TexAgs infamy. LINK:SEX Flag
SIAP
Sorry If Already Posted; meaning you didn't really take the time to examine the first 2-3 pages of the forum, but you think you have new information and are eager to post it and be "the hero" who posted this new topic of discussion. Trust me, it's already been posted.
Solari Face
This is the face that Steve Solari uses whenever he posts... most of the time he only posts this face with no message.
Snake Pit
The fake-alternative name for Kyle Field. Don't really know the origin of this. I know there was thread about it like 4-5 years ago, but I think it came from some newspaper article where they couldn't figure out why we were hissing in the "Horse's Laugh" yell.
Staff
Anyone one the TexAgs staff: Owners, Writers, Senior Moderators, Junior Moderators, etc.
Stocker
Everyone knows the words stalker and stocker are interchangeable at least on TexAgs. You can use stocker here, and are encouraged to do so, whenever someone posts especially revealing information about another person from a shady source like twitter, facebook, google search, first hand account, etc. The only thing that will get you in trouble is not reading this first and attempting to correct someone for using "stocker" instead of "stalker" that is a NO NO.
Stunned Okie
From the 2004 game where Texas A&M went into Stillwater and defeated the OSU Cowboys 36-20 (leading 36-6 at the end of the 3rd quarter). OSU was ranked #15 at the time and their fanbase was talking so much crap before the game. Then on National TV, they panned teh faces of the crwod after the Aggies went up 20-0 in the 1st quarter and took a 27-6 lead into the locker room. Stunned Okie was in the crowd in all his Oversized Foam Cowboy Hat Glory:
Stunned Okie has been featured in numerous TexAgs threads throughout the years, but my favorite is probably Stunned Okie Fan's Journey Through Time
Sunshine Pumper
Someone who is emphatically optimistic about the University and the Football Team. It doesn't matter that we just lost to Iowa State 52-9 or that 4 of our Defensive Tackle recruits didn't qualify... life is good, and the Aggies are going to win the MNC!
T&P
Sometimes prayer requests are solicited, and the minimum response requirement, acknowledging that you have read the request and are a thinking, feeling human being is to reply with "T&P" and sad face. There are other times to use it (sometimes even sarcastically or humorously), but this is usually a reverent one.
Take it to the _____ Board
The implication is that the topic you've posted does not fit the theme for the board on which it has been posted. The suggested board for the topic to be taken to can be a real board or an imaginary board... the point is, your thread is not related to the Forum-Theme and the TexAgs police are here to correct you.
Tarp of Shame
To hide the fact that they cannot fill up their current, old 50,000-person capacity stadium with its own fans, Baylor U decided to install a mega-tarp with the words "This is Bear Country" to take up seats in the endzone. The logic is that "if WE can't fill it up, NO ONE can fill it up". The Tarp is referenced whenever Baylor is joked about, especially in regards to football, fan-bases, stadiums, or attendance of any event in general. (Phrase Coined by HeyMoe on Rivalries)
Tards
Started off as a condescending term for Texas Tech alum and fans. But now we have TcehTards (see below: TCEH), BibleTards, MountainTards, PurpleTards, etc. All references to Big XII(-2+2-2) schools.
TCEH
The proper referral for Texas Tech, because of well:
TexAgs North
See Kyle Field North. Just as the cubbies stadium is named for the real home team whenever the two teams meet; so too is their fan-based mockery of a web forum. TexAgs North (aka BaylorFans.com) is so named because Baylor has not the enthusiasm nor the numbers to stake a claim to their own fanaticism; therefore, it is encumbant upon Aggies to supplement their numbers with our own. In so doing, we claim praenomen; to name the site (or stadium) as is our right. www.texagsnorth.com still points to BaylorFans.com
The Tine
Or just "tine". Shorthand for the shorthand H-tine; refers to either the city of Houston or to the Houston Board on this website. It's full of Houstonites who are fanatical about Houston and the oddities and idiosyncrasies that make the town embarrassing, humorous, and, at the same time, great. (the best city in Texas, IMO)
thoed
Houston Board vernacular for Drunk, Throwed, High, Out-of-your-mind...
TL;DR or [TLDNR]
Too Long; Didn't Read or Too Long Did Not Read; one could argue that this post qualifies. People post this, mostly to be immature, as a beacon to attract attention to themselves because they are "too cool" to read an entire post if it is more than a sentence or two. Also, if someone goes on a rant, this can be used to signify that the rant is not important enough to read so they are mocking the ranter by saying, "haha, you put all that time into posting and we are not even going to read it"
Torbush, [/torbush], Torbush Wow!
In 2004, when the Ags were getting throttled by Utah in the season opener, Carl Torbush, on national TV, was shown mouthing "WOW!" really prominently as Utah scored yet another Touchdown against his "blitzing off the bus" defense. Now, instead of saying "wow" to a surprising event or statement, we use "Torbush!"
TOS
The Other Site. You must not reference or link to other Aggie Sports Communities because it sends traffic their way and detracts from the awesomeness of this site or so the theory goes.
Underrated Post
If someone earlier in the thread makes a post that is not responded to, or is funny and no one seems to be getting the joke or reference, you are allowed (maybe even obligated) to quote said post in a new post and type "Underrated Post" as the reply. This gains the poster of the quoted material the recognition he deserves, it allows others to review the post and acknowledge it, and it makes you a hero for being a thoughtful community member. Now that post is no longer underrated, thank you.
Visor Guy
He's a guy. He wears a visor. Oh and he stands and yells the entire game, every game, from the North-East Top Corner of the Zone. He will also lead the student section in Yells when he feels like the many distracting commercials and gameday-goodies are causing the student body to lose interest in the game, or when the Yell Leaders are being told they cannot do a yell by our AD for whatever reason. The Yell Leaders no longer have authority to simply lead yells when they deem it okay, they have to get permission, somewhat. Anyways, it's all become very scripted; and VISOR GUY is to the rescue! Did I mention he yells a lot, really loud a lot?
Vore, voring
Dominating a poll by voting. See "Poll Domination" and "The Program is voting for Bama!" above. A late-night typo by user steadfasttuna created "the vore". Steadfasttuna later commented, "i feel honored that my late night (sortof) typo has gotten references in other threads!! From now on lets vore on everything!" And so we shall.
Waffle House
Every SEC school's campus town has a waffle house. To be officially recognized as an SEC institution, beyond the induction on July 1, 2012; we need to establish a Waffle House in College Station or forever remain the red-headed step-child of the SEC. (Mizzou this includes you)
"We Know Stuff"
The unofficial motto of TexAgs.com. From AggieGrant06 busting the Rhett Bomar scandal, to tracking down bows and four-wheelers, to charting flights on FlightAware.com, the TexAgs community has a propensity for finding things, scooping stories, tracking down people, and generally just "knowing stuff".
We need to show up to Kyle Field with a Furry!
A thread on Premium (sorry non members) from this past season (2011) meant to fire Ags up for the OSU game... Obviously the thread went in a different direction...
The Zoo
A nickname for the free football board on this site - i.e. this forum (i.e2. you're in the zoo now) - because of the animalistic way we go about our business. No poster, topic, or idea is unassailable except staff; hi staff!
note: I know there are a hell of alot more, if you are going to suggest others, please include a link and a good description that I can copy and paste to the OP, thanks
note2: please bookmark this thread or save it on your watchlist to post for others who have questions about TexAgs.com memes
(this has been updated to include suggestion through page 11, so far)
