Fanboy I don't know about, but I thought that MILF was populalised by American Pie and chesticles is, I'm almost certain, a Viz gag (or has at least been used as one, probably in the profanisaurus). Not like it matters though, since twatdangle is clearly the best of the lot by a country mile.

I can't believe you didn't include...

Right now go and ban all Anonymous Cowards

pollocks...

I can't believe ^H^H^H^H^H^H^H wonder why you included "Troll"? It's hardly new, been a Usenet staple for many years.

Keep feeding...

Picking just one out of that list was seriously difficult.

I would've preferred to give a mark out of ten for each.

Anyway, it's pub time....

...they're all so delightfully wrong!

How many can you fit in one sentence?

Meh, fucktard FAIL as celebutard gets pwnd attempting to impress the wikifddlers with twatdangle stunt, a fantastic turdspurt for El Reg fanboy and commentard.

W00t, MILF with great chesticles gets borked and used as asshat in porn troll??

Soo many fantastic uses :D

Thanks El Reg

20 entries, but only 16 listed in the results. 10 I could understand - but wait, could the results list be in hex, in which case why isn't the 'source' list 32 - but wait yet again, is this all mere wibble - see how I sneak in the word you didn't want :)

You missed out "sheeple"

fanboi wrong

Whoops1 Bye!

Mine's the one with the dunce's cap.

20 choices, but only 17 lines in the result! Where's my vote?!

Does posting this make me a commentard asshat or a trolling twatdangle?

Surely any Dawn Patroller will tell you Chesticles has been used by Sarah Kennedy since before the dawn of time, and may even predate the Interweb.

Mines the one with the old tranny radio in the pocket!

I'm sure the word fail is not a new word. It should matter whether it's capitalised or not otherwise I COULD MAKE UP A WHOLE BUNCH OF NEW WORDS RIGHT NOW.

OMG it's going to take at least the rest of the afternoon to give this its due consideration. Couldn't you have waited until Xmas?

Damn, too many to choose from! Should have had multiple choice or "Pick up to 3"...

It's like trying to pick your favourite movie, or pair of underpants, or something where you have to pick your favourite something.

Meh is, apparently, already in a Collins dictionary.

Does that mean as it's accepted by the Great British Public it can't be part of the list as it's no longer 'street' or whatever those young whippersnappers call it nowadays.

(And it's accepted by any spell checker lurking on my machine)

'Tain't there, guv!

I can't make up my mind! I'm glad to see the resurgence of "chesticles", I had almost forgotten that one.

P.S. This will probably not go through, if indeed the one month ban is in effect; but if it does... w00t!

er... damn it!

-dZ.

Its a pity that my chosen word has no real world application, I'm just not that likely to meet that twatdangler David Blein, as much as I would like to, just so I could address him correctly.

Oi ... twatdangler

@re: Meh

... Meh

I had no choice really but to go for twatdangle, as asshat and fucktards have been in my volcabulary for yonks, and none of the others cried out with the same originality

You haven't included cockwomble.

Waht do you mean pick One!!1!!!11!onety!eleven!!

ARGH its all to Hard....

First round should have been multiple selection, then choose one from the top five..

"neologism"

Because the "quiz" was set up by an asshat?

The Jargon File says it originated ~1975 at MIT on their ITS system, neologism maybe but not exactly a 'net' neologism. Unless you mean Usenet and the Scary Devil Monastery.

(http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/L/luser.html)

it's not butter.

Asshats of the world, unite!

... you left out "goatse".

As a noun, as a verb, even as an adjective, it has to be the original, most multi-purpose and best!

You wouldn't say 'it's broked', would you?

I voted twice & even laughed at the dry comment when attempting to vote second time round,

perhaps you should be able to pick up to 5

& I along with b noted that it should be fanboi

How many of you used Wikipedia to find out what neologism meant?

Fanboy is not a neologism. Fanboi, on the other hand...

I have an old fruit bowl here depicting a bag of "MEH".

Fail may not be a new word, but it's a new noun, as in "Your shipment of fail has been delivered."

You beat me to that one! I just heard the other day, disgraceful!

I voted luser just because I saw it first in the BOFH = ) (after much deliberation)

Paris, because she's the hottest icon here...

you didn't include:

nub (the newer version of n00b, newb etc)

nubcaeks, and any number of other 4chan-isms.

Meh, i s'pose I'm b& for a month nao.

:D

"favourite movie, or pair of underpants"

Is that fovourite move or favourite pair of underpants; or just to pick A pair out of a pile of them.

I mean; just close your eyes; stick your hand into the pile, and pull out a pair. how hard can that be unless you're planning on going commando?

Wait a mo'...picking a coat and heading out door.

That's been in common usage round here for at least thirty years. Is the net really that far behind?

Where are the definitions, man, the definitions ?

Come my fellow surveytards, will somebody please post the necessary.

I can't believe you didn't include Meanderthal.

Used to describe anyone texting or on the phone and attempting to walk/cycle/drive at the same time.

You can ban me but I'll just sneak back in with another LuserName. :-)

. . . you didn't include "grrrrirt"

Meh!

is already a word in common use by...

(eeek)

Sarah Kennedy.

It has been in use by here since approximately God's puberty.

Should it be here??

I think the word used in Blackadder was 'Bibble', IIRC something to do with pinning a frog to one's shirt and saying 'Bibble' to passers-by. I don't recall 'Wibble' on Blackadder (correct me if wrong) and Wibble is by far my favourite net neologism.

I even have an asshat icon I use occasionally so I guess it has to get my vote.

It's been a dependable stalwart of vigorous denunciatian for years, Twatdangle I'll give you though.

My vote's for wikifiddler, It captures web 2.0 circlejerking in all it's glory.

"old tranny radio"

Well, whatever next? Ancient lezzie TV ?

Should be included.I can't believe.............

IIRC Blackadder goes forth, while trying to avoid the inevitable he attempts to make himself "insane" by putting pencils up his nose, underpants on is head and going wibble.

And where is fucksocks? maybe I'm behind with the times....oh well banned now...

"I don't recall 'Wibble' on Blackadder"

Blackadder Goes Forth, final episode.

IGMC ..

I thought that one came in l33tsp33k, as b0rked.

BTW, what's b0rken? Never heard that version of "b0rked".

pr0n could've been another neologism (I think it came to be to fool auto-censors) but then, knowing El Reg's readers, that would win hands down. w00t!

BTW, I prefer the "0wned" original spelling than the more recent "pwned" typo-joke version.

Borken is what you call a piece of kit that stopped functioning in an unspectacular but irreversible manner. It can imply shoddy design or sometimes gross mishandling or user incompetence.

Surely that's a very popular neologism. Or is it euphemism?

@ AC with the morning undergarment dilemma: any pair that isn't stuck together will do!

Mine's the one with the pockets filled with high-gloss "research papers".

Regtards.

Ban me please, El Reg already soaks up far too much of my time.

From Wired, we have 'teledildonics'. Who could pass on that, eh?

just like the icons, nothing will happen.

And frankly those are all quite old hat, times have moved on, and that list is well a bit passe; off target.

This is the Net things go on a pace a lot faster, grab your slippers and smoking jacket grandpa, try and keep up you laggard.

Just to echo what far too many others have said, most of these are years (some decades) old and many did not originate on the interconnected series of tubes.

I would have voted for "poopsock" had it been present. It's not new either but it's an awesomely gross concept.

The heart icon doesn't get enough love, so I had to use it.

Has to be listed as the best quote of the year: "wikifiddler, It captures web 2.0 circlejerking in all it's glory."

I mean seriously, after a good 20 minutes of pondering and serious introspection, I can't think of any better way to capture the true essence of all that is identified as "web 2.0".

Bravo Gordon! I tip a pint or 12 in honor of your vision.

Luser. borked, w00t and troll have been in use for well over a decade. They date back to the days of USENET, before those newfangled *NIX GUIs like X, when real users needed nothing more than a terminal and knowledge - KNOWLEDGE I SAY! - of the *NIX environment.

Freetard and FAIL are briliant IMNSHO.

Especially freetard. I know a few people who refuse to use ATI or Nvidia drivers for their video cards because the driver source is not GPL - but they bought the video card?!

FAIL, despite it's brilliance, is a term I heard from engineering students as far back as 1990. In about 1994 I listened to a most entertaining disquisition from a programmer friend on the subject of why X, in all it's baroque glory, was a fail.

Mine is the one with memory in the pocket.

I liked your invention of 'newsgasm' as a word we really needed, unlike many of the ones that are on your list and just sort-of happened over the last decade or so.

Wow, Lester's really got his finger on the pulse!

I would have thought Kenny Everett's use of the word predates Sarah Kennedy. And in the best possible taste.

Fortunately I don't recognise any of them. Apart from the wife, that is. Oh, and I can't see the Obama smiley in the posting app.

R.

Nothing in your list really rings my bell... and some definitely are NOT Netisms.

How about adding 'Wiitard' to your list? I'm surrounded by them at the moment and they won't shut up about Wii this, Wii that, and surfing to see where they can get their Wii Fit or virtual snowboard...

> Ban me please, El Reg already soaks up far too much of my time.

I will kick you in the nuts. Repeatedly. If that will help?

Apparently it was invented by Kenny Everett according to the radio prog about him in the week

Apparently

WTF man where is WTF?????

Lester you FAIL!

Love 'em my fav off that list is FAIL. accompanies by an image macro

I thought that 'newsgasm' was an invention of Chris Morris, used on The Day Today circa 1994....

2FishInATank: I'm happy to be corrected, I'd learnt it through El Reg, so now know it's just as old a neologism as the others.

How 'old' does a neolog need to be before it isn't one any more? [Rhetorical question, no answer required]

Catass? It's become remarkably popular from its origion on a gaming website.

Half of those "terms" never originated on the net. They're merely words from pop-culture, over-used by pre-teens on social networking sites and chat channels in a lame attempt at appearing "net-savvy". So much so, that one cannot read a single string of posts without encountering one of the wretched things.

Of course, I can hardly blame the author for not having the interest required to research their origins. I certainly don't care that much.

Pwned FTW!

Sheeple has been around longer than t'interweb. Feckin ancient....like meself

You forgot to include "All of the Above"

ORLY

Bummed in the Gob

n00b

sage

lulz

wintard

macwanker

aohell

...so many goodies missed.

... obviously fails to understand it properly.

I don't see how throwing "tard" on the end of a word makes it a net neologism.

Freetard is maybe passable because, well, it's kinda clever

But commentard?

Come on.

...do we get to comment on the dumbest fucking words/terms being bandied about all over the Interwebs??????

and how is different from any other kind of bradcasting.

irks me no end.

I can accept webcast, but podcast just smacks of trying to appeal to iPod prats who think an iPod is different from any other mp3 player.

...the method of delivery (via subscription to an RSS feed), not the actual audio/video thus delivered. That would be a programme.

I thought the correct scientific term for wikipedia lovers was wikipedophile?
