no offense, but i like the original wording... ;-)

Ok. It's just inaccurate.
Days Since Last Bug: 0
Last day without Discourse Bugs: null
Also, @HardwareGeek's comment below.
-
But you're defining two different things, with different meanings — number of days since last bug (zero) vs. last bug-free day (does not exist).
And Hanzoed. Speaking of which, it needs to be defined, and an accepted spelling specified (which should not have an apostrophe, because it is neither a contraction nor a possessive).

Then do it!
-
I'm doing real work. Theoretically.
-
Ok, I'll do it.
-
I propose the OP be turned into a wiki post, otherwise finding stuff in this topic will be difficult.
-
I wouldn't mind, but I have not the power.
Summoning @PJH!
-
Wikified.
-
In the meantime, I'll start moving stuff into the OP.
-
I moved a few, but then decided that I'm lazy and others would.
-
HOLD!! Before we all start editing the OP, we should probably decide how to use it.
Do we want to use it as a sort of table of contents?
Or as a central list?
I like the table of contents idea because it gives the option to like the definition that each poster has come up with. Maybe use partial quotes of just the term?
-
updated.

If you fully quote the definition it is easier to look over and there are little buttons (up arrow even though the post is bellow) to take you to the quote (even if it was the full thing, so long as you selected it and hit the quote button) for applying likes. Plus after liking, it is more useful to have the full definition when someone stumbles upon this later on.
-
Due to the number of terms we have, even at this point, I've gone with just quoting the terms in order to keep the size of the OP down. Then if someone wants to see the definitions without going to the post, they can expand the quote in place. This also gives the reader the option of navigating to the post in question.
-
Also, now that all currently defined terms are referenced in the OP, feel free to edit the OP now. We shouldn't run into conflicting edits anymore.

That looks really good. I'm not sure how, but it must be Wrong.

Heaven help us if it were Right.

I'll leave alphabetizing to some poor CDO afflicted soul.

What, where?

I'l do alpha tonight i think, all except for one entry which will be in the wrong place, just one... :-D

That is just mean spirited. When it is completely out of order then it (generally) bugs less than the just slightly off.

Then I should tell you that the cookie was made with laxative.

Most blakeyrants tend to be about how his personal worldviews should be canon.
This is really the only sentence you need. It covers the rest.
-
Another definition for Hanzo (v): To edit a post soon enough after posting that the edit pencil doesn't appear.
-
Done.

Doing It Wrong™
verb- Doing something in a way other than the way Jeff would do it.
- Doing something that Jeff wouldn't do.
FTFY

Anything worth doing is worth overdoing. As long as you have the knife in, you may as well give it a little twist.

I propose Barrier to reading and X is a barrier to Y... Any suggestions for definitions?

Rainbows
analogous noun
A property of software in which its attempt to implement new and complex features excuses its inability to perform simple and basic tasks.Example:
"Technically what we are doing here is far more complex than paging, Discourse really is rainbows, nothing is stopping one of you writing a plugin that gives you godawful paging." - Sam1
FTFYBy the way, feel free to apply suggested changes to your definitions. That is actually encouraged in this topic.

. it's been a while since i saw anyone use an Ashe to represent the e sound from Encyclopedia....
That was a running gag on How I Met Your Mother. Ted was a Junior Pedant.
-

good to know(and that removed that show from my i should possibly watch list*), the Ashe (not the one i linked but the actual character), is still a correct spelling of Encyclopedia, although it is now an uncommon one.
*into the I'll give it a pass list.

Well, not weekly. Just enough times to qualify. And usually in a way so that the other characters mocked him.
The show had it's own share of WTFs but if you like complex seasons-long plots with little hints scattered throughout, you should give it a try.
-
My to watch list is already like five years long (that's time to watch not how far i'm behind) the stuff on my should watch list barely had a chance of getting watched anyway. not much difference.

DiscoBool
noun
A boolean flag that has the opposite sense to what its name implies.Sometimes abbreviated to a single letter, for example “f” which means false which mean true.
(on an unrelated note, it’s funny to see a “1 Reply ▾” button on the last post of a topic, which loops back to the first post...)

I went it to go test this....

Works fine?

Example: I jeffed these posts to a new topic because they obstructed my view.

There's no technical thing stopping the link. Shortly after joining I got the following pm from :
I have zero interest in tdwtf drama bleeding over here. Unsolicited references to tdwtf, that is, not supporting some bug or fix, will be deleted on sight.

So what you are saying is Jeff is literally Hitler?

Jeff is Jeff.
