The nickname for Dustin Pedroia coined by JohnnyTheBone in the 7/13/07 game thread (also known as Rosie’s Haze), and settled once and for all by tims4wins’ Dust’n Bones avatar.
Booty Shorts
Made their first appearance 9/3/07 Red Sox vs. Blue Jays - Momentum continues. Also known as Boy Shorts. We dont care what they are called, they bring good mojo. Suggested procedure to find the images in question, google image search.
Name given to Eric Hinske after barreling into Yankee catcher Jorge Posada in a run for home during the September 15, 2007 game at home against the Yankees. Hinske was out, but his hard, but fair, hit stunned Posada. The collision led to Jacoby Ellsbury’s run when a dazed Posada held the ball, but forgot to tag the runner.
Chutney
A most powerful form of mojo that is called upon when big rallies are needed; pictures of all kinds of chutney are posted, and the Red Sox seem to score.
ELJE
Everybody Loves Jacoby Ellsbury, the object of every lady lurker’s devotion, and a great deal of manlove too. NomarRS05 first observed that Ladies Love Jacoby Ellsbury (LLJE) in the 9/3/07 game thread. By 9/5/07, it was agreed that Everybody Loves Jacoby Ellsbury (ELJE), especially his Eyebrows. Variants include LLJEE, ELJEE, and ILJEEEE!!! Also known as the brown-eyed handsome man.
French Rugby
Made its first appearance 9/15/07 following an impressive parade of Brazilian booty to give the many lady lurkers some eye-candy. Not only is it irresistible to straight women, it has such powerful homojo that it comes in a plain brown wrapper, and is governed by a No First Use policy. French Rugby mojo is used only in crisis situations, such as if a thread builds up an unsustainable booty-to-butt ratio, or if the MFYs might win something important. Guys, if you’re 100% straight, and think male pinups are a buzzkill, you know what NOT to do.
Fükken
The Sandbox spelling of the only acceptable F-word, from 9/4/07 Profanity Night. Glen Morangie started the game thread by channelling Josh Beckett’s tendency toward the profane (a trait apparently shared by his cat, who is caught in a moment of road rage). Uncle Mumford expressed dissatisfaction with the spelling of the F-word, and proposes an alternative. The obscurascenities multiply from there, eventually settling on the semi-Teutonic fükken. To insert an umlauted 'ü' for your own semi-Teutonic pleasure, press 'option-U' on your Mac, or for Windows hold down 'Alt' and type '0252' on the numeric keypad.
FMBD
"Fuck my butt, duder." An expression frequently found in game threads. Often used as a retort to a putdown from another lurker, as in: "Nice job starting the game thread last night, Imgran -- the Sox lost 25-3." "Fuck my butt, duder."
Good luck. We're all counting on you.
The refrain from 9/6/07 Airplane Mojo. Commonly used when Lurker Nation must rely on a Red Sox player or lurker who appears inadequate to the task at hand.
HH
Clay Buchholz, whose name is so often misspelled that some wag of a Dope set the server to replace any incorrect version with I am an Idiot. HH is an alternate spelling that does not trigger this disgrace (lurkers like to spell correctly, but we don't like to be corrected). Mr. Negative's Winner of the Internet immortalized this lurker neologism at the conclusion of the HH NH.
Hinski
Cannonball when he does something bad, after the misspelled title of a reactionary thread started by a lurker who shall remain nameless.
Human Victory Lap
The mop-up man lowest on the bullpen totem pole, a role often filled by Joel Piñeiro during the first half of 2007. Following his trade to the Cardinals, Kyle Snyder has assumed this role. The HVL pitches the 9th inning when victory is already assured.
Human White Flag
The HWF pitches the 9th inning when defeat is a foregone conclusion. The HVL and the HWF are usually the same pitcher, but in different games.
The incomparable OrlandoMerced (see also Orlandonese)

Winning at the Internet
An expression of admiration for an awesome post, image, statement or joke. Typically used when someone posts something that's particularly funny, intriguing, well-timed, raunchy, or some combination of these elements. Typical expression is "You, (sir/ma'am/screeen-name), win at the Internet." Samples can be found at Winners of the Internet.
