to "become shooken"-- a new Freeper classic

[TexasLawyer]

up there with "screwn" and "moran" in my book. From the often bone-headed dialogue on the ABC Message Boards

Registered: Dec 13, 2006 11:47 AM It appears that Iran became shooken by the fact that America and Britain would have invaded Iran, if they had cut off the heads of the 15 British captives. so is Iran showing signs of fear?

1. Poor Elvis,

a Freeper classic, "All Shooken Up"

[Dr.Phool]

2. There they go again, casting asparagus on Iran.

I'm series1111.

[Coexist]

4. we are so screwn!!1!

[crim son]

3. I believe you've hit upon another classic.

Lately I became shooken when I realized how truly stupid freepers can be.

[rebel with a cause]

17. Hey, watch it. with that stupid talk.

:sarcasm: I think that is mid-western speak from years gone by. "We weren't too shooken up by the storm." Yep, that sounds about right. Of course today we know better. We take ours stirred not shooken. ;-)

[crim son]

22. Ooooh, my mistake.

Just like it "pours down rain" on the west coast. :crazy: I wouldn't use that form when writing, however!

[rebel with a cause]

24. my post was a joke.

I was thinking it might be a poster from the mid-west and they were using the old time language that I grew up with.

I actually write the same way I talk so if I say a word, I will probably write it also. Like Yep, Yeah, Well and okay (a lot). I am quirky that way.

[crim son]

26. I knew you were joking!

And I do the same thing - write the way I speak - unless I'm trying to make a serious point and I believe that my colloquialisms and grammatical errors will be held in evidence against me :hi:

[rebel with a cause]

28. I always use the spell check and usually edit everything.

But something will get through no matter how hard I try not to let it. And yes, sometimes I also try to talk a little less folksy than I usually do when I am trying to sound like I know what I am talking about.

I am forcing myself to do some self editing on one of the things (books) I have written, and it always surprises me that when I write I will sometimes either leave out little words (a,the,etc) that are needed or add them when they are not. It is like I have a speech impediment/stutter when I write. Oh well, if only that was the worst thing that could be said about my writing. ;-)

:hi:

[monarch]

77. Thank you for using spell check--Don't you wish everybody did?

I hate the fact that the number of spelling error is burgeoning on DU because I have always identified freepers by their spelling errors.

[geardaddy]

37. I think it is from German

In MN, you have a lot of people who say things like, "Is that homemade or store-boughten<[sic>]?"

[Sweet Freedom]

63. It's not "Hey," it's "Hay."

I actually saw that in the DU hatemail. I'm series!!11

[AlCzervik]

5. hey thats how i like my martini's, Shooken and not Steered.

[Turbineguy]

[Turbineguy]

75. i just had some pretsuls that were too saute.

[rebel with a cause]

20. I should have read all the post before I did mine,

Because I just stepped on your joke. ;-)

[AlCzervik]

21. please, neither me or my bad joke feel stepped upon.

:toast:

[rebel with a cause]

25. Well if your joke was bad, mine was worse

and it fell flat on its ear. ;-)

8. I believe shooken is the past pluperfect

shookeren is the creationist partcipular present perfect. Shookenshitless is near perfect plutocrat.
Look at me I conjugal in freeperspeek.

16. Shookenshitless . Beautiful.

Name of remedial therapy class for recovering *ites.

[gkhouston]

31. dammit, this is supposed to be a CLASSY blog.

Seriesly, I think its the classy thing to do.

We're not sacred of the profane!

[Wickerman]

14. LOL, anyone recall what last week's word was?

I recall there was a nice new specimen, but don't recall what it was. Another gem. Someone even started a poll to see how it stacked up to other freeper bastardizations (ooops! I repeat myself).

[JeffR]

19. Ah yes James Bond likes his Martini "shooken, not stirred"

I can just picture a suave Sean Connery right now in a tux uttering the word "shooken" and impressing the beautiful babe at the baccarat table.

[mr_hat]

23. You shooken me! AW-a-WAW-a-WAW... NIGH-yet.... LO-n-n-ng.

[TexasLawyer]

35. No they isn't!

You just have to paid attention.

[lectrobyte]

33. They figured out they was screwn, now they are all shooken.

[checks-n-balances]

59. Imagine how I felt when my young son came home from school and said

somebody had tooken his pencil. That's either because we live in GA or else a lot of freeper kids were enrolled there.

When that teaching moment presented itself, we had a little grammar lesson right then & there!

[krispos42]

36. Does the DU have a Freeper-to-English dictionary?

We should keep track of these little gems...

[EstimatedProphet]

42. I wrote up one. It was part of the Demopedia

But I have no idea how to get into the Demopedia anymore.

[MazeRat7]

38. There you go casting asparagus again....

:rofl:

[Kurovski]

39. Who am I to deny freeps their right to shape the language

into a source of unintended comedy reflecting their heritage?

And so with that in mind, K&R.

[jazzjunkysue]

41. Let's call their new language Ibonics. Like, Iran, and Irack and

Itralian, and Ice Cream.

I swear, I heard a north country waitress once try to sell me "Eye-tralian" salad dressing. I swear on my father's grave.

[EstimatedProphet]

43. They's cazy morans with stickily lies! Followers of Paul Pot the dick tater!

Satin worshippes!

[havocmom]

51. OUCH! That hurt.

Funny as hell, but just blew parts of a wheat cracker through my nose. I'm screwn! I'm the apitamy of spune (rhymes with screwn) crackers!

[WiseButAngrySara]

45. ROFL! This is so funny. .....n/t

[DaveJ]

50. I think these people must be very alone

To have such underdeveloped skills in linguistics and conversation, it must be a result of isolation. I wouldn't worry about these people too much, but feel a little sorry for them and perhaps try to help them recover from their situation.

[kineneb]

52. new literacy campaign: send a dictionary to a basement dweller

sounds like these folks need to consult their Funk & Wagnall's, or at least use their spell-check function.

...can't decide to give them a dictionary or hit them with said book...

[eridani]

62. As Rowan and Martin always used to say--

--look THAT up in yer Funk and Wagnalls!

[formercia]

55. Does that make it an Oxymoran? n/t

[cascagraphic]

60. LOL!

[Coventina]

66. I cast asparagus on his morels.

[salin]

67. The casting of asparagus

is still my favorite!

[Coventina]

71. Mine too. The mental image is just so wonderful!

:D

[Glenda]

73. they truly said that?

:eyes:

[salin]

74. they said "casting asparagus" in place of

casting aspersions. Hilarious! And predictable, eh?!

[Proud2BAmurkin]

68. This is HUGH they're going PHYSCO

:rofl:

[live love laugh]

69. If only Bush would "become shooken"....like this

[Clark2008]

70. I am reading a fictional book written by the writing team of

Dr. William Bass (a renowned forensic anthropologist) and Jon Jefferson.

Within the story line, the main character, based on Dr. Bass's roles at both the University of Tennessee and as a forensic anthropologist, has a debate with a student regarding evolution vs. creationism and completely embarrasses the student. The student then calls out all his religious cronies and they picket the school.

What I found so hilariously funny is that Dr. Bass describes their picket signs as having tons of misspellings and misplaced apostrophes. It was just one line in the book, but, after seeing so many freeper posts and protest signs and their usual misspellings, I laughed out loud when I read it.

(P.S. They write under Jefferson Bass if anyone wants to know.)

[Cabcere]

79. Name of the book, please?

:hi: I read "Death's Acre" for a biological anthropology class last year, and absolutely loved it - Dr. Bass is one of my heroes. :) I'd love to read more by him & Jon Jefferson...

/anthro-nerd fangirling :P
