The Jargon

FTW - For the [or teh] win

FTL - For the [or teh] loss. It is the rarer counterpart to FTW

pwn - To have complete mastery over; to be super-special-awesome; to "own"

RIF - Rabid Inuyasha fan

CIF - Civil Inuyasha fan, the complete opposite of the RIF

RIH - Rabid Inuyasha hater (note: these two terms led to a series of other terms that followed the "Rabid *blank*" format; in all honesty, if someone calls you anything that starts with the letter "R," you should throw a large economics textbook at them.)

ZOMG - Oh My God (The "z" makes it extra Kinky)

fanboy - a person, usually of the male gender, who particularly enjoys the presence of a character or person, and goes crazy if said person or character is mentioned, shown in pictures or makes an appearance on a show. Can also be used as a verb form ("I saw that scene with Motoko and the refugee kid. No wonder so many guys fanboy over her").

fangirl - a person, usually of the female gender, who particularly enjoys the presence of a character or person, and goes crazy if said person or character is mentioned, shown in pictures or makes an appearance on a show. Can also be used as a verb form ("I went to AnimeUSA con mainly to fangirl at Crispin Freeman").

glame - lame + ghey (spiceweasel228's word, lgott!)

teh - 1. teh, 2. a variant misspelling of the word "the," sometimes used for mild comedic effect

ENC - Evangelion Nerd Club. A group of people who specialize in trading semi-pornographic drawings of Rei and Asuka and write dissertations regarding how deep the show is. Nothing unusual for Eva fans. They actually have some form of "government" in which Nile is president even though nobody voted him. (cuz' he's a total dick and lolikon) He then abolished "ranks" and "titles" to ensure that none would rise to power against him.

WTF - What The fuck?! Simple enough.

STFU - Shut the fuck up; often seen in the phrase

GTFO - Get the fuck out "TITS, OR GTFO"

IMO - In my Opinion

bherm - Simply put, it means a crackpot theory. Named for the King of the Crackpot Theories, bherman. The word itself was devised by matrixman124.
