It’s high time we compile something on our insider lingo so new folks can get up to speed. Feel free to suggest entries and revisions. I’ll start:
The Bunny
A.K.A Skyscraper Rabbit, is a long running gag on the forum. It’s a huge image intended to mock excessively long posts with too much easily trimmed quote material in them. The exact origins of the image are murky, and probably best left unexplored. It has been abused in the recent past. Linking to it is the only acceptable usage outside off topic, but as an inline image is where it has had the most impact good and bad.

The Bunny is a potentially malevolent entity, and should never be invoked lightly.

ENTERHOST
A.K.A The Sirius Cybernetics Corporation. The former hosting service of this site, whose systems would often fail (thus making the forums mostly useless) at inopportune moments. Several forum members and staff were slowly driven insane. But we’re feeling much better now!
Where were you in '77?

Not true. I definitely did not come up with it, though I wish I had. I want to say it was either Bingo, 005, or Anchorhead, but I really can’t remember.
I’m sure you could mine the Holocron and Meme threads I linked to for things that are still in use today.

ALLOL=actual literal laugh out loud. Don’t know if it came from here but haven’t seen it anywhere else.
I’ve seen it once outside of this forum, but IIRC, it was accompanied by an explanation (maybe it was one of us! 😉), so it isn’t widely understood…
I can take credit for that one! Actually, it came out of a discussion xhonzi and I had, but I don’t remember which of us came up with the final form of ALLOL.

I don’t remember that one.
Ric2 found the text version of the bunny for me.

Bows to the Emperor.
What ever happened to that demonic Ewok anyway?

Funny, I could swear it was me or Frink that first did JEDIT… Oh well.
Do we still do “double standards”, “wrong picture”, etc?

I think so, but are those unique to us?

Wrong picture is definitely unique, the way it was used. It came from the image of Luke saying “I care” while looking sad about losing Ben. Not sure who started that. It’s now turned into WRONG ANYTHING!!!
greenpenguino used double standards in every post until it became a thing.
If you’re interested, the skyscraper that The Bunny is sat in front of is the Burj Khalifa in Dubai.

RIGHT TOWER!!!
You worry about those fighters, I’ll worry about the tower.
Pics or it didn’t happen=not literal.
