My ego is muted by the fact it is not the OED


There’s a new entry in the Urban Dictionary: pz envy.

The jealousy expressed by an atheist who’s not quite as famous, popular, or controversial as PZ Myers. ”

Unknown Atheist Blogger felt some serious pz envy when she realized she didn’t have enough followers to crash a poll.”

Bob: Man, I only got one piece of hate mail last month, but Pharyngula mocked 42 letters this past week!
Jane: Oh, enough of your pz envy!

Clearly, I’m going to have to run out and trademark my name before it becomes commodified by its ubiquitous usage in other contexts.

    “Clearly, I’m going to have to run out and trademark my name before it becomes commodified by its ubiquitous usage in other contexts.”
    Can’t do that: if it’s common usage, you can’t do that.

  2. says

    “My ego is muted by the fact it is not the OED”
    Perhaps more accurate to say,
    “My ego is muted by the fact it is not the UD…”

  3. SC, OM says

    Sorry, Orac, but I can’t help but think of you. ;D

    It’s OK. Kinda cute, actually.

  4. says

    Clearly, I’m going to have to run out and trademark my name before it becomes commodified…

    Nuts! And I was just putting the finishing touchs for a new project line, PZ Burgers, in many exciting flavours:

     ✓ Squid.

     ✓ Baby.

     ✓ Puppy.

     ✗ “Maggie” filled with extra vile.

    And of course:

    ✓✓ Bacon.

    Additional flavours will be forthcoming…

  5. katmom says

    Awww, it’s sooo cute ;)

    Other potential new entries:

    “Jakeulation” (babble from Jake at The Examiner)

    “Bananaman slippage” (backpeddling/outright lies from you know who…)

    C’mon folks, let’s add some more.

  6. Steve says

    You’d think the UD folks would at least give PZ a certificate or something to commemorate the honor.

  7. says

    mabus

    No one cares about your little tirades. You are an insignificant mental case.

    No one cares.

    You are only known for being an unhinged idiot.

    That is it.

  8. says

    Not more Mabus/Markuze turd droppings! Dave, take your fecking insanity to a doctor. You are seriously deranged and completely stupid.

  9. Heather says

    Do you think PZ envy explains some of the framers’ behavior we periodically see?

  10. 'Tis Himself says

    Yes! My plan of total bacon blog domination is coming to fruition.

    Does bacon fruit? I thought it was more mineral. Isn’t bacon strip-mined in Montana or something like that?

  11. says

    bigdumbchimp

    you will BURN IN HELL also you little sh*t

    Promise?

    Does using a * lessen the impact of the word shit mabus.

    You’re still never going to amount to anything other than an internet idiot who has lost his mind.

    How’s that sit with you mabus?

    You

    are

    nobody.

  12. says

    No, even worse is someone who acts out his/her fantasies. Our current not-house-trained loony bin may or may not take that step; I’ve no idea how dangerous it is to others. I do agree that a spamming arsehole is worse than the drive-by knuckleheads, but that’s not the only thing worse.

    </pedant?>

  13. Nerd of Redhead, OM says

    We need a banned troll button to alert Pharyngula Central of the problem. Something like a Squid Signal.

  14. funda62 says

    Anyone else see this and read, “Pez envy”? Quick someone make a pez dispenser with PZ on the top! Sweet!

  15. says

    If you want to remind me just how few people bother with my blog, then try asking for the best atheist youtube videos. I’m sure that if PZ does it he’ll get a lot more links than I did.

    The response I got to my request for atheist youtube videos was pathetic. I got only one comment. Compared to the response I got from my request for music, which got 27 comments from 15 different people, and more importantly some very interesting music, it was pretty lame.

    Still, I did find an interesting youtuber, Richard Coughlan, also known as coughlan666. If you saw new, re-imagined, Battlestar Galactica, you’ll be spooked by how much this guy reminds you of Baltar:

    http://normdoering.blogspot.com/2009/04/youtube-atheist-coughlan666.html

  16. says

    mabus Mr. nobody you seem to be a little agitated?

    Is the fact that no one gives a shit about your little tantrums disheartening?

    How long have you been you been posting links to your delusional fantasies and yet not a single person gives it any credence?

    That must be frustrating.

  17. Ivence says

    Holy crap…I’d almost think this was a bot program, but that would be ascribing too much creativity.

  18. says

    Mabus/Markuze, the Rev BDC is wrong to say you are a nothing. You are less than a nothing. You periodically shite or vomit on blogs and never say anything, make empty threats you are too stupid to carry out, and basically just annoy almost everyone in the blogosphere. In addition, you’re both insane and incapable of of liking bacon.

  19. says

    bigdumbchimp

    you are going to pay with your life for your blasphemy

    you are worse than NOTHING

    you are the condemned

    F*UCKER

    I bet the layer of spittle on your monitor is getting pretty thick by now. You might want to get a rag.

  20. says

    “atheism is a crime punishable by death, fuckers”
    Life is a crime punishable by death. Just because you believe you aren’t really going to die doesn’t make it so. It just means you like comfortable fictions.

  21. says

    atheism is a crime punishable by death

    Giggles! Not in the Canada (where you live), throughout the EU (where I live), and even not in, amazingly, the USA (where Pee Zed and many of the commenters live). It also is not, to the best of my knowledge, in Japan, New Zeland, Brasil, and numerous other countries, including Australia.

    Mabus/Markuze, your grasp of reality is even less than you are, you less-than-nothing completely stupid insane spamming idiot.

  22. Odonata says

    Greg – “I think the real PZ envy is among those who are NOT atheist bloggers but wish they had PZ-level traffic.”

    I think you’ve got that one right, Greg! Maybe the PZ envy definition needs some revision.

  23. says

    bigdumbchimp

    you’re FINISHED…I will show you NO MERCY…you will be my sacrificial victim, an atheist martyr

    Delusions of being god now?

    Fatwah like pronouncements.

    Are you secretly envious of being a muslim terrorist?

  24. tes says

    “you will be my sacrificial victim, an atheist martyr”

    Wow.

    Hate, violence, cannibalism, and now human sacrifice.

    Why didn’t they tell me about this in sunday school?

  25. 'Tis Himself says

    we are going to have a barbecue today with you f*uckers

    A barbeque? Oh goodie. Would you like me to bring potato salad?

    BTW, I love how the asterisk is in “f*uckers” but the u isn’t removed.

  26. GMacs says

    Well, seeing as how RevBDC (hehe, sounds like an 80s rapper) gets his very own NOTHING, which I postulate includes bacon, I think everyone here is now suffering from RBDC envy.

    Although NOT having an obsessive stalker fan is nice, too.

  27. SteveoftheHillPeople says

    Speaking of things named after PZ Myers, the “reverse PZ” is quickly becoming a favorite in the bedroom. For those of you that don’t know its when you take your 5 remaining tentacles and…well, its more fun to just figure it out yourself.

  28. Nanu Nanu says

    I think we all should get a FINISHED just to be fair.
    It’s not like they cost a fortune or anything

  29. says

    Ummm I kind of assumed pzdummy was just doing the “My god will come and get you after you die” type of threat, but #50 was an actual real life death-threat, wasn’t it? As in a criminal offence in just about any jurisdiction.

  30. says

    Rev Monkey will be “an atheist martyr”.

    Well, I suppose that’s one way to stop the invasion of the bacon hordes. More likely the horde will descend on Dave “I’m a nothing nutcase” Mabus/Markuze with pitchforks, blazing torches, and frying pans, and smoke him out with a lot of bacon frying.

  31. coyotenose says

    My FINISHED came with a Bacon Bits bottle. An EMPTY Bacon Bits bottle.

    I can’t decide if that was a good thing for my health or a mortal insult. But it makes me suspect that Mabus might be riding a fake-bacon high while typing.

  32. 'Tis Himself says

    Damn, Mabus, some morning it doesn’t pay to chew through the leather straps.

  33. coyotenose says

    waitaminute…


    “bigdumbchimp

    you are going to pay with your life for your blasphemy

    you are worse than NOTHING

    you are the condemned

    F*UCKER”

    What’s the asterisk in “F*UCKER” stand for?

  34. says

    don’t you wish you would of shut your TRAPS

    “shut of your traps”? Worst pseudo-King-James English since the book of Mormon

  35. says

    don’t you wish you would of shut your TRAPS concerning things of a PROPHETIC NATURE

    Don’t I wish I would?

    Are you a prophet?

    I know I am. I see in the future that Mr. nobody will live a long miserable life where no one who comes into contact with him will give a tiny shit about him or his insane rantings.

  36. Julian says

    Randi’s challenge still stands because you yokels have yet to meet it. Wishing your delusions were otherwise doesn’t make them so. Also, you are an idolater who worships a sky god no different than Zeus or Apollo; you dig in the dirt and bow to wooden carving, flailing yourself with your own superstitions because you’re too afraid to take responsibility for the life you live and expect others to be impressed by your example? What a piteous waste; what foolish pride.

  37. coyotenose says

    “don’t you wish you would of shut your TRAPS concerning things of a PROPHETIC NATURE”

    Man, do we ever. The little bastards grabbed the bait and got away before we could pull the lever.

  38. GMacs says

    Ceiling Cat smitez teh heathuns 4 dere blazfemoos comments!

    Oh noes, we will all be smitten kittens.

    I need to get outta here, the level of stupid from these trolls is frying my neurons.

  39. says

    I beat Rev BDC! I beat Rev BDC! He only got a FINISHED. I’m worse!! Yea!!!

    Nyat nyat nyat!!!!

    (For those of you wondering “pzdummy” is a seriously deluded ex-something-salesman in Canada, David Mabus (née Dennis Markuze), who thinks Randi cheated him. He is a joke, but not an intentional one. Dave/Dennis very probably thinks he is serious. He’s been banned at numerous blogs, including Pee Zed’s. Ask Generalissimo Google™ for more details.)

  40. Didac says

    At risk of incurring in a personality cult of PZ, there are good reasons of pz envy:
    – He’s a biological scientist. As theistards have attacked specially the theory of evolution (and not, for example, the atomic theory or the cell theory or continental drift theory), an evo-devo scientist is the best image to resist, fight and win.
    – He’s from Minnesota, at the full hearth of North America, so at the full hearth of the most deranged First World continent of the Earth. He is not from Paris or London, or Heidelberg, or Tokyo. He is not even from Los Angeles San Francisco, New York or Chicago.
    – He’s not a unsensitive atheist. He is a full humanistic and progressive atheist, full of compassion and solidarity. To me this is an important difference from “laissez faire” atheists.
    – He’s not an appeaser. He fully embraces the culture war of our era and fights it at risk of receiving hate e-mail and threats.

  41. St. Tabby Lavalamp says

    This is sad. Mocking Pete Rooke is fun because he’s just plain nuts, but “pzdummy” seems actually insane so I don’t want go too far with the snark.

  42. says

    bigdumbchimp

    I predict you will BURN IN HELL for opening your IGNORANT TRAP on things of a PROPHETIC NATURE

    HA well I’ll use my FINISHED to put out the fires thereby rendering your prophesy as worthless as your life!!

    Take that Mr. nobody!!

  43. blueelm says

    I gave it a thumbs up! Only 22 thumbs ups though… there ought to be at least a hundred. I think that’s a great phrase for UD.

  44. coyotenose says

    “I predict you will BURN IN HELL for opening your IGNORANT TRAP on things of a PROPHETIC NATURE”

    I’m trying to work out which is the biggest “sin”-thingie portrayed in this statement.
    – The gloating over another’s anticipated misery?
    – Being a false prophet?
    – Pretending to know the mind of god?
    – Sodomizing the Caps-lock button?
    – Forgetting to reach behind his head and push the “reset” button every so often?
    – ????
    – Profit?

  45. Newfie says

    Giggles! Not in the Canada

    This dumb godbot is in my country? It must be in Alberta.

  46. says

    bigdumbchimp

    you only got little words

    well we have prophecy from the 16th century to DESTROY you…

    OH NOES!!!

    Not the dreaded 16th century prophesy. I see this will take more than my FINISHED to defeat it.

    I’ll take your 16th century prophesy of doom and raise you one pound of hickory smoked thick slab bacon!

    Do your worst Mr. Nobody, no one can defeat bacon.

    I bet you even put katchup on your hot dogs.

  47. says

    Uh, pzdummy, I didn’t see anything about Randi’s challenge at your link, just a bunch of loony ranting. How about if you write a straightforward account without all the woo and then maybe we can read it. Until then, nobody wants to wade through your hysterical shrieking about Nostradamus and socialism to find your epic fail.

  48. blueelm says

    Woah pzdummy you have a prophecy from the 16th century! Cool! Me too…. well actually from the 15th, but we have so much in common :D:D:D

  49. coyotenose says

    BDC, what’s wrong with putting ketchup on hot dogs? Other than that doing it wastes valuable bacon-eating time, of course.

  50. Kitty'sBitch says

    “my “PZ envy” is simply that i don’t have cool initials”

    My initials are GAG, but I can’t tell if that’s cool or weird.
    Maybe both?

  51. says

    My recollection is Mabus/Markuze—who almost certainly is genuinely insane—claims something about Nostradamus predicting something (a rock band or something) which, in turn, then somehow predicted the successful attack on the twin towers (9/11). And somehow, because of that “logic”, he should have won Randi’s million dollar prize. I think he did actually apply for the prize? Then what happened I do not know, but my guess is the same thing as with most other applicants: Failed to meet the conditions, kept changing the terms, and so on?

  52. says

    you will lose your lives by commenting on things of a PROPHETIC NATURE

    So did you just guarantee that you will lose your own life when you referred to things of a PROPHETIC NATURE in telling us why we would lose our lives. Or does your tin-foil hat protect you somehow?

  53. KI says

    I keep seeing the word as “finnshed” and have decided to take a sauna to rid myself of the stupidity toxins.

  54. Patricia, OM says

    What?! Burning in hell this early in the morning… good. I think I’ll make some deviled eggs.

  55. carolyn says

    I just love how Christians regularly ignore the words of Christ. Turn the other cheek comes to mind, as well as other niceties. Shameful. The funny part is that if you want to see a list of people with PZ Envy, you can pretty much take it from above! ROFLMAO!

  56. says

    “i want you to shut your mouths or you will perish…”
    Okay.
    Insert image of open mouth
    Now what?

    “you will lose your lives by commenting on things of a PROPHETIC NATURE”

    Prophetic nature, eh? No problemo.
    I see a vision.
    (queue eerie music)
    In the year 2012, there will come a great horned beast with tentacles and, yea verily, it will come to pass that there will be a great wailing and moaning and gnashing of teeth!
    (end music)
    So what do I win? Do I get my FINISHED now? Is it in the mail?

    P.S.
    What Christian denomination do you belong to?
    Pentacostal maybe?
    Just curious.

  57. says

    as linked at 108. From a Depeche Mode(!) newsgroup (just the English version)

    When the inscription D.M. is found
    in the ancient cave, revealed by a lamp.
    Law, the King and Prince Ulpian tried,
    the Queen and Duke in the pavilion under cover.

    Actually I’m pretty sure this refers to Danger Mouse. He lived in a cave under a post box, after all. Can I has million dollars?

  58. Kitty'sBitch says

    What consenting adults put on their hotdogs in the privacy of their own homes is none of our business. However, public displays should be shunned in order to protect the children.

    Keep your filthy ketchupdog ways out of our public schools!!

  59. Klokwurk says

    is there anyone else who wants to BURN IN HELL?

    Me please! Because it makes perfect sense that a nutjob like you is the one making that decision… Oh and your prophecy is dumb!!!!!!!!

  60. dab says

    “we’ll BURY YOU, ATHEISTS

    PZ you will BURN IN HELL…”

    Religion really does make people lovely and moral. I take back everything I’ve ever said.

    No, really. Every day Christopher Hitchens’ title resonates more and more strongly with me.

  61. Newfie says

    see I predict blf and bigdumbchimp

    Ok, mister self-described prophet.
    Gimme the numbers for wednesday’s, 6-49… please?

    Clint? Clint Eastwood said “Nobody puts ketchup on a hot dog”?

    oh

    Mabus

    You heard our prophesy. Thank you for spreading the message.

    Next task we give you is to leave your basement for the day.

  64. KI says

    As a Buddhist, I must ask my hot dog vendor to make me “one with everything”, and that includes catsup. Catch-up? Katshup? Ketch-op?

    I always pay him in exact coinage, as “change comes from within”.

  65. Kitty'sBitch says

    Ketchup on a hotdog leads to bestiality, pedophilia, and the destruction of the American family!!! Our Founding Fathers never intended ketchup for use on hotdogs!! It’s in the CONSTITUTION!!!

    I’m trying to out-crazy pzdummy, but I don’t think it’s working. The bar is set too high.

  66. says

    When Pee Zed gets around to cleaning up the vomit—that is, deleting the Mabus/Markuze/“pzdummy” comments (he has been banned after all)—this is going to turn into an even more surreal thread. We’ll be poking some invisible nutter-on-a-stick, with weird out-of-context references to “FINISHED” and “losing their SOUL” and “burning in HELL” et al.

  67. coyotenose@ says

    Again, aren’t people who blaspheme by, say, pretending to be prophets (even online) and claiming to know the will of GawdAlmighty… aren’t they putting their own souls in mortal jeopardy by their logic?

    PZdummy is like the guy who yells at whisperers in the library to SHUT UP YOU’RE DISTURBING EVERYONE!

  68. says

    Computers are an abomination! It is against God, and it is against the Bible! The internet will destroy American families and will lead to homosexuality, incest, polygamy, pedophilia, bestiality, and will lead people to sin! You must get off the internet now!

  69. Richard from Red Deer says

    Pzdummy seems to believe he has something important to say but is at a loss to remember just what that was.
    I don’t think the boy could prophesy the next sunrise myself but that is just me.

  70. gruebait says

    Seagulls and pigeons can be really annoying to have around an outdoor picnic table, but they can’t really be faulted, they are just being seagulls and pigeons. When somebody starts feeding them nearby while I’m having dinner, I get pissed off at the insensitive clod doing it.

    Isn’t there a sign around here reading “Please don’t feed the trolls.”?

  71. says

    Nice Ken. That song is WAY better than Depeche mode

    Isn’t there a sign around here reading “Please don’t feed the trolls.”?

    Bah where’s the fun in that?

  72. says

    @#138 blf
    That’s right, when someone spams, it is a simple fact that we ought never to reply to this person. Perhaps all of pzdummy’s posts could be edited to “Deleted by PZ Myers” instead of getting rid of it entirely, just so we know that something as there.

  73. says

    see I predict blf and bigdumbchimp are going to BURN IN HELL for commenting on things of a PROPHETIC NATURE.

    Should I bring a frying pan and bacon? Or will I be able to get everything I need there?

  74. says

    bigdumbchimp I think you are the BIG NOBODY..is that all you got

    That could very well be so, but the difference is

    I don’t give a shit.

    you on the other hand Mr. Nobody are consumed with your own fame, or rather lack there of.

    Ahh, the smell of a troll roasting in his own hellfire…

  82. Sastra says

    pz dummy serves a very useful function. He shifts the Overton Window on Pharyngula trolls. Now even Simon seems a bit more normal. And Facilis and Rooke are just regulars in the comment section.

  83. Elf Eye says

    Why doesn’t the Urban Dictionary have an entry for ‘pharyngulate’, as in ‘We really pharyngulated that poll’? That word gets at least as much usage as ‘pz envy’.

    Interesting use of bacon. Seems like a waste, though.

    Where do you put the ketchup?

    Apologies also for feeding the troll. I fed it a bit earlier today and then stopped asfter a bit—see today’s radio reminder thread—but this one is so insignificant it’s hard to remember you’ve already fed it for the day.

  89. Patricia, OM says

    The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men.

    Keep going troll, you’re now up to envy, death, sin and abomination.

  90. Guy Incongito says

    Pzdummy shifts the Overton Window on the Weekly World News. I like how his first few posts were careful to censor “fuck” and “shit” with asterisks, but then he dropped them when he got really angry. “No more Mr. Nice Guy! Now you will face the wrath of fully uncensored cursing, fuckers!”

  91. Newfie says

    David Mabus’ Mom: David, are you coming up out of the basement for lunch?

    David Mabus: You will die a martyr in HELL!

    David Mabus: Nostradamus was right! You just have to know how to interpret it!

    David Mabus’ Mom: That’s nice Dear. Come on, before it gets cold.

    David Mabus: You will perish! I’m looking for truth, bitch!

  96. says

    Somebody above (@141) complained about feeding the troll and all. I say the Rev BDC can feed ’em all he likes as far as I’m concerned…if he continues to slaughter them as they flock in. (Do trolls flock?). Best big laughs of the morning are the Rev’s potshots. Especially this one:

    “I’ll take your 16th century prophesy of doom and raise you one pound of hickory smoked thick slab bacon! Do your worst Mr. Nobody, no one can defeat bacon.”

    That is just so right.

  97. Newfie says

    and you know what, blf and bigdumbchimp,I changed my mind, and I am going to have MERCY ON YOU because I am so fucking nice….

    Whew because I was really worried.

    I’ll be able to sleep tonight.

    Mabus/Markuze

    we are going to have a barbecue today with you f*uckers…

    Need a new poll. When (not if) Markuze will be locked up in the loony bin…again.

    FWIW, he is a Canadian. Still think that, “We are not as crazy as you” smugness is getting very thin.

  101. says

    Ah, but do they have “Pharyngulized”? It’s up to us to use that A LOT or perhaps submit it to Urban Dictionary, along with “egnore”.

    Also, I think PZ should be upper-case in “PZ envy”. It’s obviously based on a proper noun and it’s not old, like boycott or hertz or watt or ohm.

  102. 'Tis Himself says

    Starting to suffer a little “Rev. BDC envy” here. *sniffles*

    There, there. I’m sure if you’re rude enough to our interloper (oops, sorry coyotenose, no pun intended) he’ll curse you with smiting or a bacon-less barbeque or even ketchup on your hotdog.

  103. Heather says

    Monado- Why don’t you submit those entries? I know I’ll vote thumbs up for them.

  104. says

    Thanks, Janine, for the KMFDM link. The first man-head that comes floating in looks kinda like Leonard Cohen. Which does make me wonder.

    Gotta go back and see that again. Getting stronger…

  105. says

    and you know what, blf and bigdumbchimp,I changed my mind, and I am going to have MERCY ON YOU because I am so fucking nice….

    No, I doubt you changed your mind. It’s still insane. So are you. You are not nice. You’re not smart. You not even dumb. You’re Stoooooooopid, with a capital S. Even if you did your worse (and remember, I get it worse then the Rev—you promised!), the only way I’d notice is if my wine went sour. Now feck off, it’s time for dinner. With wine. Betcha you can’t make it sour now, can you?

  106. Patricia, OM says

    One has to wonder if troll

    MERCY

    is served with extra bacon or brimstone simmered mango sauce.

    Or he got back from brunch with the Trophy WifeTM.

    @182. If Mr. Nobody continues true to form your email box will overflow. You will receive more blather than a pz wannabee (well, maybe not that much). Does this mean Mr. Nobody knows where you live?

  109. Kitty'sBitch says

    Okay, that was cool.
    PZ was dropping the posts from the nutbag and I popped on at the perfect time.

    I think Mr. Nobody has an internet crush on me.

    He emailed me.

    For a moment there Matt Heath looked like a prophet.

  110. says

    Never mind all that. I want to know how to pronounce it: “Peez envy”? “Pee-Zee envy”? “Pee-Zed envy”? “Peez’d envy”?

    Yeah, well, I’m an old-fashioned kind of broad, is all. Sometimes I come out from behind the mask and talk. Still, you can’t make a rap out of it without knowing how to say it out loud.

    (BTW, ‘Tis, thanks for the memories.)

  111. Nanu Nanu says

    Damn PZ’s cleaning up the crazy and I accidentally overwrote the file.

    Now we will never get that FINISHED

  112. JohnnieCanuck says

    Up here in the Great White North, we prefer to Pharyngulate polls, rather than Pharyngulize them. Perhaps both should be entered on urbandictionary.

    On a different note, I’d never heard of Canadian bacon until I travelled in the States. Weird, that. Back bacon, as we call it, is not as common as side bacon, either.

  113. Marc Abian says

    Every day Christopher Hitchens’ title resonates more and more strongly with me

    Mister?

  114. Heather says

    JohnnieCanuck – do you have Canadian bacon and pineapple pizza in Canada like we do in the States? It’s hard to beat that pizza!

  115. Doubleplusungood says

    #187

    Marc, I think dab was referring to the title of Hitchens’ 2007 book God is not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything. Of course you may actually know this, and were just being pedantic.

  116. Owen says

    I have submitted “pharyngulated” to the Urban Dictionary. Let’s see if it gets in.

  117. sdej says

    Janine,
    Great music link as always. However, I expected it to go here since they hate Depeche Mode and all.

  118. Heather says

    I went to vote on “pharyngulated” (#193). It wasn’t showing up in the urban dictionary. Do you know how long it takes before it shows up to be voted on?

  119. Owen says

    Not sure – but it has to be looked at by one of their staff before it goes for voting.

  120. Lee Picton says

    I got here after the poop was cleaned up, though I could pretty much follow what the trolls were dropping. Has anybody ever considered that their problems (other than insanity) might be resulting from teeny, tiny penii?

  121. DLC says

    Oh man. this is funny !
    Seeing all the smackdown on Mabus or whatever his name is without seeing the troll-posts. Seriously though, the guy needs help. Or maybe they have a computer with an internet connection in the day room at the mental hospital ?

  122. Newfie says

    Wow, he’s got quite a few on urban dictionary

    Ya, I couldn’t resist Happy Monkey.

  123. says

    I’d like to see the Behe Blunder, named after Michael Behe’s favorite style of rhetoric: to “prove” something by a long, intricate argument that depends on facts that turn out, in the end, to be false.

  124. says

    Pharyngulate is now published. It’s not on the site yet, but you’ll see it in a day or two. Then we can pharyngulate the voting page…

  125. JoeB says

    I don’t remember pz envy actually being used in threads here, but should not the often used “fatwah envy” deserve a place in the urban dictionary? Anyone know who introduced this phrase?

    Yes, it is defined and has a positive rating. Problem is that whoever posted it misspelled as “fatwa envy”.

    Congratulations PZ, you’re controversial! Now is that used in the dictionary sense of the word or the creationist sense?

  130. Vidar says

    Who is this Mabus character? I don’t see his posts anywhere, and it looks like everyone is arguing with an imaginary enemy.

  131. Nerd of Redhead, OM says

    Who is this Mabus character?

    Banned troll (see dungeon on masthead). Went on a posting/spamming spree. His posts were deleted.

  132. says

    Where do the trolls come from?

    That apart, PZ, this is seriously cool. Maybe you can start a line of tee-shirts? You know PZ tees?

    Sorry if someone mentioned this in the comments I have yet to read, but I thought is was funny when I went a-googlin’ for “SIWOTI” after reading it here and the first reference was…

    http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=SIWOTI

    where I found THIS….

    “Acronym for “someone is wrong on the internet.” Describes the compulsion to post rebuttals to online nonsense, in the vain hope that it will somehow set the record straight.
    I try to stay away from Dinesh D’Souza’s ravings, but when you’ve got SIWOTI syndrome, the man is like a magnet of wrong. (PZ Myers, 3/April/2008)”
