skippy list

most-wanted deck

A deck of cards (usually an ordinary set of 52 or 54 playing cards) on which is printed the names and photos of individuals considered by the card printer to be important persons to commit to memory, to make it easier to find and capture them (or kill them).

The official military term for this is "personality identification playing cards".

For the Second Gulf War, Coalition troops were given personality identification playing cards with the names and pictures of Iraq's most wanted.

I could tell the most-wanted deck I got on E-bay wasn't authentic, because while Saddam Hussein was the Ace of Spades, Tariq Aziz was the Eight of Clubs.

correctify

A portmanteau of correct and rectify.

To correctify something means to obsessively nitpick over details which in the pointy-headed purist's mind are so torturously annoying that he can't help but speak up about it. The significance of such details, however, is pure truthiness.

A behavior commonly associated with period nazis in the SCA and other medieval-recreation societies and LARPs.

Madus as they are used in the Amtgard LARP are hardly recognizable as "actual" madus, yet you'll often see players correctifying each other about what "real" madus should look like.

demablogger

A portmanteau of demagogue and blogger, it is a person who uses a blog as a soapbox from which to preach to the unwashed masses and the rest of the world.

Compare to pedablogger, who uses their blog to educate rather than to orate.

Pete with his 'rant of the day' is one of the most entertaining demabloggers I know.

punctuicon

From "punctuation emoticon": A smiley used in addition to or instead of traditional punctuation, intended to introduce extra meaning on top of the literal meaning of the sentence in a nonverbal manner.

I told Mike online that he should go DIAF, but I ended my IM with a smiley punctuicon so he wouldn't think I was really that mad at him:

"Go DIAF Mike:)"
