Your COTH BB Language Guide

[Tiffany01]

Im lost.

[pmc]

Well, this whole thing is getting way too cryptic for me!

I suppose you have to be an “insider” or an upper-echelon poster to get most of what is posted here.

Which, apparently, is the intent…

[DillansMom]

Hey Caitlin! I used to board with you!

I never imagined I would stumble upon you talking about hohoos and hoohoos!

[Vandy]

A Heidi-HooHoo Haiku:

Wasting time on COTH
Can’t ride because the snow is
Heidi-HooHoo-High

[DillansMom]

Oh Dillan’s just fine. He’s a whole Heidi hoo hoo bigger than he used to be. Around that is. He loffs his new home, but he’s positively aghasted every time I ask him to work. He’s even introduced me to Aunt Esther’s purse a couple of times!

How is your red mare? (Please don’t be attackative, but I can’t remember her name and at this moment it’s driving me NUTS! Where’s the fruitbat?) How’s your mom?

Hootinannies can be anything from a stallion’s nuts to extra brushes laying around to stupid people. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

So hootinannies is a noun, whereas Shoosh (my favourite word) is the everything verb! I get it now, you’ve made my life so much easier.

“Excuse me, could you shoosh these hootinannies for me?”
“These hootinannies are in my way again, I’mg going to shoosh them into next week if they keep this up!”

And Coreene, Willem’s post to Le Duc about the birds and the bees is my all time favourite post. It had me laughing for days afterwards, and it still makes me giggle whenever it’s brought back up.

[myrna]

it’s a good thing (i think) that my husband is out of town for another 10 days!now no one can hear me laughing as i sit in front of my computer,except the dog and he doesn’t say anything!

[Dancing_Lawn]

WELL! I certainly just “defrosted”!!

Speaking of all of these, what ever happened to the t-shirt idea that someone linked to.

I can see I won’t get much work done today. Wayyyy too many old threads to go through. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

I don’t know what happened to the tee shirts! They’d be GREAT for the world cup though.

[nhwr]

I don’t think there is any way to expalin it euphamistically, J4J.

(where is the nodding, grinning icon with large bucked teeth?)

[WingedPanda]

The fruitbat thing actually came up when someone said “WTF?” - and (I think) someone else didn’t know what it meant. Or somehow alternative meaning for it were solicited.

To which I randomly responded - WTF?=“Where’s the fruitbat?”

Apparently, it was popular. Hehehehe. I looked for the original topic, but gave up. The fruitbats have shown up many times since then, and even have names now.

[slp]

I just stumbled across a new one tonight on the Horse Care forum.

Depthness: “Yeah essentially the mud depthness snuck up on us.”

[SJD]

phuw-wu

wasn’t that on the list? another word for… ehm… male horse parts.

I was just quietly giggling to myself through this thread, until I got to this. The stealth hoohoo made me lose it completely and now all my coworkers think I’m insane.

[Bugs-n-Frodo]

Where’s the Fruit Bat? I loff this BB but you guys can really be attackative! First you all are drilling beavers, then your numping with no socks on, then your freezing HOOHOOS or HoHOOS or HOHOs!!! I am aghasted!!! LE TIT BE!!! You are a bunch of BABY EATING, PEEP LOFFIN’ PIPPLES!!! THIS IT BE WRONG!!! Now, I am going leave this BB, and go sit on the porch, dranken my sorrows away! OMGiH!!!

[Dancing_Lawn]

The Porch??? I’m familiar with all the others, (remember, I have the plunger in storage, if anybody needs it). But I don’t recognize that one! those who have contributed to the list must be very proud, indeed. It’s an accomplishment to be likened to no other. Imagine, the hushed awe you’ll get when you say, I coined that term!!!I can only hope to one day, follow in the hallowed footsteps of the brave souls who have gone before, with their literary mutations posted in full view of those terrible COTH critics, the dreaded SPELLING POLICE!!

[Irish_Ei_s]

Oh lordy…here come the hoohoo up/downs…

[moonatic]

Yeah but one of the funnest things to do is aghasting dressage people.

They get so attacktive that they snort and their maskscary runs and they wouldn’t never dare touch that trout.They just turn their deerhide covered hoo hoos around and call for their grooms by which time you can be long gone.

you think maybe I should have stayed on the porch?

pmc,

The only “insider” you have to be is someome who read Off Course in Jan 2003, (or who is curious enough to PT me ).

None of the references weremade on a PT or in a small group. They were out there for the world to see. And, judging from the number of views the thread got, over 10,000 people did see. Or one person saw them 10,000 times, but that’s another issue.

So, don’t get your knickers in a twist. If you want to know, just ask. But make sure you really want to know. And then ask Bugs-n-Frodo.

Thanks for the clarification, Lord Helpus. This was just starting to sound like some sort of “cult-y” thing for awhile, and I wanted to know if there was a “secret handshake” or something…
