A Burner Lexicon

The CO · Post by **The CO** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 12:29 pm

OregonRed just used another one...

Blamethrower: (n) A person that refuses to take responsibility for their own actions and the consequences thereof.
"Did you read that thread with the blamethrower saying it's our fault the tickets sold out?"
(-ing) (v) The act of blaming other people for problems you created.

I like these blameformations.

BTW, it's not a lexicon entry but today I posted a little story from a past regional Burn, about cooking bacon and pushing boundaries: http://kitoconnell.com/bacon/

More Lexicon coming soon (hopefully this week). Right now though I am looking for someone to write guest post on my blog about setting up a camp kitchen at Burning Man. Anyone interested? Contact me here or at kitoconnell at pobox dot com.

I saw Galaxo Magic say Sparkle Snarkies in a tickets thread post (I think it was the fairy princess thread) a little while ago, still makes me laugh when I think of the word. I assume it means people who post snarky responses to sparklepony threads, comments, or posts.

Trilobyte, would that be a Burner Lexicon or an ePlayan Lexicon?
Not sure if there is a difference, or if I'm over thinking this one.

have we discussed the whole notion of "manifesting"?

I liked "spackle" in that thread, and am seriously considering stealing it.

I hope everyone who reads this thread will keep an ear open for great slang and catch phrases at this year's Burn!

Illy, I'd suspect you could use 'sparklesnarkies' in person on the playa, to describe people who poke good-natured fun at the sparkleponies.

theCryptofishist · Post by **theCryptofishist** » Mon Aug 15, 2011 7:47 pm

And ponies in capes are supersparkleponies and people who make fun of them are snarklesupersnarkleponies and snarks in capes are supersnarks...

I want to credit Eric for pointing out to me that ponies in capes are superponies.

Next week I plan to share her essay on 'Radically Asking for Help' at Burn events.

Kit, what about TAZ (Temporary Autonomous Zone)?

This is part of Burning Man history, AFAIK, part of the inspiration for BRC:

kitoconnell · Post by **kitoconnell** » Fri Aug 19, 2011 11:24 am

I definitely hope to define or at least touch on TAZ, preferably when I have the time to write a proper review of the original book/essay, placing it in the context of the Burn and some of the controversy around its author. The lexicon has already touched on this a little in passing, thanks to guest comments found here:

Thanks for your comment!

Hey Kit,
I'd just like to say that I love your project!

Since day one I've thought it was a blast!

kitoconnell · Post by **kitoconnell** » Mon Sep 12, 2011 11:18 am

Thank you! That means a lot to me to hear!

And now that everyone is shaking the dust off, it is time to start sending me new words and phrases you heard on the playa this year!

a "Twookie"

a hairy, dready bearded hippy commonly known as a "Wookie" tweaking on meth or coke.

"Man oh MAN! That twookie almost broke my nose in the dubstep mosh pit."

Thanks for the suggestion, Mr. Dobbisano, Mr. Robert Dobbisano.
