Sometimes newcomers to the Crowe Nation need help in figuring out what the hell everybody is talking about. Well, first off, if you plan to stay, you definitely need help; a doctor might be able to fix that for ya, and any one of us can recommend a professional for you, if you can afford $100 an hour. If you're game to stay (I warn you, it's "not for the faint of heart!"), then proceed. Here is help, just when you needed it the most! Below you'll find a glossary of sorts, a lexicon of the Russell Crowe language developed since May of 2000. Some of the terms are standard internet acronyms which you'll recognize if you've ever visited a chat room at any time in the past. Skip those, if you know 'em, and move on to the...others. The others are just... unique.
| !setam, seirrof ‘nikcuw oN |
"No wuckin' forries, mate!" backwards. Why? Cuz Kookaburra said so! See "Kookaburra" |
| AA | Academy Awards / Oscar |
| ABM | "A Beautiful Mind" - Russell Crowe's 2001 film project |
| Barge | used to describe the imaginery vessel which carried passengers up and down that river De Nial during the summer of 2000, at the height of TGF (see "TGF"); said passengers are those who did not believe in the "lurrrrve" connection between Russell Crowe and Meg Ryan (and, were therefore in denial). This vessel has since been docked. We can only pray that it's stays in dry dock. |
| BLOC | Bastard Life Or Clarity - TOFOG's latest CD |
| BTW | By The Way… |
| CFM | Come Fuck Me, as in "Russell had that CFM look on his face...!" |
| CH | short for "Cabbage Head." A derisive term referring to Meg Ryan at the height of TGF (see "TGF"); used in many ways, such as "the CH has been chopped and processed." The terms for this woman are too many to list here, won't even attempt it. |
| Chia Pet | refers to Meg Ryan's hair; another term for MR; see also above |
| Chunky Monkey | one of many terms of endearment for Russell Crowe; was first penned by Chiquita of the Outback Chat, who truly loves her Chunky Monkey, but others use it also |
| Crowecaine | Russell Crowe as drug; readily available, cheap, and hard as hell to detox. |
| Crowe-ler-coaster | a term used to describe the nauseating rollercoaster-like motion sickness related to watching Russell Crowe's name being dragged through every mud puddle by every tabloid paper in the world; the upside comes when the lies are exposed as… lies. Then up we go again… |
| De Nial (or De Nile) | see "barge" |
| DH | Dear Husband - what fans call their significant others |
| Femdog | a polite term used to describe regular members of the Russell, Something To Bitch About message board (RSTBA) instead of "Bitch" (though that term was not rejected, but embraced with pride at one point). Also, "Femmes" or "Fems" are still used. This same group has now become Russell Crowe's Beautiful Minds message board. |
| Fluck | First heard on the RCBM message board; means just what it sounds like; was used to get around the automatic censor used to distort words like… fuck. |
| Foghead | not sure where this term was first heard; desribes any TOFOG fan, especially one willing to travel log distances to attend a concert. |
| Fru | A long-time member of the Crowe's Perch message board brought the term "fru" from another fan board (not Russell Crowe related); they used to post photos at this other board, and someone called it being frou-frou..as in frivolous. The term caught on, and now simply means the ability to post a photograph in a message board post, or the photo itself. "I can fru!" or "she fru'ed tha photo on another thread." |
| Furry Little Butterball | one of many terms of endearment for Russell Crowe; was first penned during his "fallow" period after the August 2000 concerts and before his preparation for "A Beautiful Mind." In other words, during this time period, he was packing it on the waistline. Some fans prefer him like this. Ergo, Furry Little Butterball (from this term FLB Indutries was born!). |
