Rustled Jimmies - You've been successfully trolled, and are on the road to receiving dubs for your response.

Dubs - Fiendish Sherbro moderators have taken unkindly to something you've posted, and you've had your sher-manhood removed.

Never my friend: When you disagree with someone, all congenial history is erased and replaced with contempt.

Wait... I did what now?

TLDR: used to describe a initial post that someone spent a great deal of time on. No one has ever read one of these.

End thread: typically seen on page one of a 30 page thread. Ironic. Does not at all mean what it sounds like.

Crazy Pride lady: the only ring announcer who can properly introduce Fedor.

Pride rules: a slightly less restrictive set of rules then those seen in modern sanctioned fights. Often misunderstood to mean No Holds Barred.

Vbucks: ancient fake currency used to bet with other diehards.

Open scoring: system that might have allowed for your favorite fighter to win a decision if he didn't coast for the final two rounds of a fight.

Account bet: Warfare tactic of Last Resort that allows you to overtake the identity of someone who disagrees with you.

Point fighter: derogatory term used to describe someone who wins a decision because your favorite fighter couldn't stop him.

1,4,5: perfectly sound logical argument to describe why your favorite fighter won a fight in which he did no damage to the opponent.

"Do you wanna be a fuckin' fighter" - Something we say after a fighter has received near-mortal injury, and probably shouldn't ever fight again.

Also something Dana says when he wishes to exploit his workers.

(He wanted to be a fighter)

Hluk: The proper spelling of "Hluk." There is no accepted alternative spelling.

Don't be scared homie: Whether you're scared or not, you're probably scared.

Lol @ guys saying Kos and Struve. Fulton by far: The answer to any question is Fulton. Don't waste everyone's time with Kos and Struve.

TUF Noob - 17 year veteran UFC fan. Formerly scorned for joining unter the premise of popularity. Currently applies to Khabib/Conor/Masvidal fans.

(These men are in their mid-40s now)

Well played in coming up with a current version. I believe you are right on the time frames; TUF noobs popped up shortly after the start of the first Spike TV season.

During the same time period- I'll throw in the virtually extinct "Pride fanboy" and "UFC fanboy" that dried up after Pride fell. The Pride vs UFC wars on Sherdog were epic in those days.

Another one- fight finder knowledge, the term defining those who are too noob to have watched the sport and gotten a real sense of things and gets their knowledge from fight finder. That has always been rampant and is obviously exclusive to Sherdog.
