A Noobe’s Guide to the TPB Lexicon

This post dedicated to the big lumberjack, with especial thanks to EC for proofing and spoofing.

Ad hominem – Attacking the person rather than debating the point.  Arguments are directed against the commenter, not the intent.  This is a common mistake by new commenters, but some STMs are hard core ad hominem attackers.

Admin – Jim Quinn, owner and founder of TBP.  Not the shock jock, but he can be quite shocking on occasion.

A.I. bot – artificial intelligence bot, an algorithm designed to either interrupt discussion or to gather data.

AGW – Anthropogenic global warming.  The result of an overpopulation of beer-drinking gassy men on earth, raising even more gassy cattle.

Avalon – Admin’s favorite place and person.

AWD – One of the original big dogs from the Olden Days. Also see Smokey, SSS and LLPOH.

BB aka beebs – Legendary TBP trucker who alternates between village idiot and wise cracker (which may be a contradiction in terms).

Billah’s Wife – Legendary TBP Doppleganger invented to irritate a former commenter named Billy (badass) who was vicious in his attacks on BB.  (And others.)

Billy – Legendary TBP Commenter who’d seen and done it all, according to him. I believed him but perhaps I was more gullible then.

BSS – Bullshit Science or Bullshit Social Science.

C’est le vie — that’s life, useful phrase for when your spouse asks why he or she married you.

Cognitive dissonance – That strange sensation you feel when you see the earth is flat but believe it is round.

Congress critters – term used for years on TBP, long before it began popping up in other venues.  No royalties or fees owed; just sayin’

Donkey – See WIP

Doublethink – The acceptance of or mental capacity to accept contrary opinions or beliefs at the same time, especially as a result of political indoctrination.

EC – Tricky little fucker who can never hold the same opinion or moniker for more than 2 hours. Claims to have met a certain Red Rope from back in the day.

EYKIW – Everything you know is wrong, Also see YDKWYTYK.

i.e.  – id est,  like “indubitably” this Latin phrase should always be written, never spoken aloud.  If spoken, it is pronounced as follows:  Eye period E period comma.  Not Eye EE period comma.

FE – Flat earth, a theory whose time has arrived.  See also, transgenderism and white privilege.

Gaslighting – A form of psychological manipulation designed to plant doubt about a targeted individual or group, making them question their own memory, perception, and sanity. See also, white guilt, slave reparations, holocaust deniers.

Gatekeeper – A powerful media position that controls media output to shape the agenda/world view of the masses in favor of TPTB (or Jay Z and Beyonce.)

Government troll – An actual person – as opposed to an A.I. bot – whose job is to misdirect and otherwise obfuscate discussion and debate on various social media platforms; usually contracted by lobbyists.

HTWW– How the world works.

ID – Intelligent design. A scientist’s admission that he doesn’t know why the universe works but it does. Also, how pragmatists refer to Creation.

ISS – International Space Station, or I Shot the Sheriff.

LARP – Live Action Role Playing; people pretending to know what they are doing in an online environment.  Sounds a bit like life, doesn’t it?

LH – Limited hangout – this is a website or entity with multiple contributors offering valuable and even provocative new information with the intent of mixing in active disinformation to confuse. (See also, Miles Mathis.)

LLPOH – Australian Big Dog who is wealthy enough to say what he wants and wise enough to be listened to.

LSM – Lamestream Media, a tired joke that was fresh 20 years ago, it has not served to improve the media, see also Snail Mail and email addy.

MC – a very nice married lady who owns a lovely green blouse and raises elderberries in Missouri.

MG – a rabbit farmer in Missouri who neither confirms nor denies there being a beaner on a beach behind her in that picture. (nice is a relative term.)

M.O. or MO – Method of operation, or modus operandi which is Latin for Method of Operation. A term almost exclusively used by cops and their groupies, but known to slip into dialogue on TBP, between the lines.

Misdirection – A device used to focus attention to one thing to distract from another.

Misinformation –  Broadest category of mass communication lies. There is disinformation, half-truths, lies by commission and lies by omission, for some examples.  All “misinformation.”

NLP – Neuro Linguistic Programming. Through use of subtextual or subliminal cues, NLP is a version of mind control which introduces ideas and concepts to a subject (person or animal) subliminally. Agencies like the CIA, Public Relations and Advertisers are especially known for using NLP.  Meme usage is a form of NLP.

NPD – Narcissistic Personality Disorder is a condition common to politicians and celebrities, which occurs naturally in psychotics and sociopaths. But, that’s redundant.

Occam ’s razor – The simplest explanations which account for all the data are usually correct.

• The problem with this methodology is that “all the data” are often controversial to identify. Those who still believe our government’s controllers, aka TPTB (see below), had nothing to do with 9/11 are viewing events through NLP(see above) and refuse to view the data.  Occam’s razor may very well cut their throats.

Political Correctness – a term used to normalize the censorship of everyday language, ideas, policies, and behavior. It’s noble purpose is to avoid or minimize offense to persons, things, spirits or animals because of occupational, gender, racial, cultural, sexual orientation, certain other religions, beliefs or ideologies, disability, and age-related contexts. Its effect is to nullify any values you may hold and to force acceptance of any and every aberration in order to avoid Gaslighting (see above).

PTB – Powers That Be,  NOT, Platform That Burns.

Q Anon – Rapid fire spreading of information, misinformation and disinformation designed to keep intelligent white people busy. (See T4C).

• Disclaimer: This entire entry was inserted by ec and only (barely) edited by me.  I actually think there is validity to Q Anon.  I believe, LARP or not, there are enough true patriots involved, it is a valuable network.  And, from the enormous body of research accomplished, it consists of a network of people with a lot of insight about the inner workings of our current labyrinthine bureaucracy.  If they are as savvy as our sensual nurse here at TBP, whom the majority of TBPers trust to be well-informed and well-intended, then the Q ANON phenom is a force to be reckoned with, either way.  By the way?  Most of us hope she is right about Q, but mostly, we hope she is gorgeous and doesn’t turn out to be a goblin.

Q.E.D. – Latin phrase “quod erat demonstrandum” literally meaning “thus, demonstrated.” Traditionally, the abbreviation is placed at the end of a mathematical proof or philosophical argument in print publications to indicate that the proof or the argument is complete.

Red Herring – Something that misleads or distracts from a relevant or important question. It may be either a logical fallacy or a literary device that leads readers or audiences toward a false conclusion.

SFM/STM – Shit Flinging Monkey/Shit Throwing Monkey (If you frequent TBP, you will see them and, before long, you will be one.)

Shill(s) – A shill, also stooge, is a person who supports a speaker, political entity or organization without disclosing a close relationship with that entity.

Sine qua non – Without which nothing, an essential condition; a thing that is absolutely necessary.

Smokey – one of the legendary curmudgeons of TBP.

SSP – Secret space program.

SSS – Super Secret Spook of TBP, so secret we are not sure he really exists.

Straw man argument (fallacy) – avoiding debating an opponent’s argument by addressing an unrelated argument.

Stucky aka King of the STMs – The spork that stirs Admin’s drink. (LLPOH is, perhaps, the guy who buys Admin a few drinks.)

T4C – Legendary Death Nurse of TBP and, as mentioned above regarding Q Anon, gorgeous in our mind’s eye.

Thirty Blocks of Squalor – Epic series of articles by Jim Quinn which brought this eclectic gathering of STMs together.

TPTB (the PTB) – The powers that be.  (Also, The Luciferian PTB.)

UI or UP – Useful idiot or Unknowing participant – ‘Useful Idiot’ has become popular.

Uncola – a tadpole once known as jfish, but don’t mention it because he’ll tell you what that means.

Useless eaters – Basically, all of us who are not related to PTB, so all of us.

VV – Vixen Vic, one of TBP’s original Femme Fatale’s, along with TS and Avalon.

WTF – Where’s the fentanyl?

WIP – Work-in-Progress; an ass who wanders around TBP wondering once in a while, see Donkey.

Yojimbo – another TBP enigma, invaluable and exemplary of the eclectic group of thinkers the venue attracts.  Like flies on some things, some might say, but that would be snarky.

YDKWYTYK – You Don’t Know What You Think You Know, especially El Coyote.

Note: This lexicon, while intended to help the new TBP follower grasp the enormity of the intricate body of knowledge they’ve stumbled across here, a mere glimpse into the intelligence embodied in some of the finest minds and sharpest wit available on the interwebs.  This Lexicon is not all-inclusive of the terms one might encounter on TBP, that would take a lot more effort than I’ve got.
