Here's a link to the old dictionary. For general TV- and internet-related terms (TPTB, WTF, Asshat, etc), there's an entry in the Help Topic with handy definitions.

Updated: Justice League

I still think AA for Aaron Ashmore and LV for Laura Vandervoort should be added. Their characters are referenced in other terms and given that the new season is starting soon, they'll likely be talked about themselves more often than they are now.

Like "Mary Sue," this is a general fandom term, not a SV-specific one, but I wonder if we could define "shippers." It took me a while to grasp just what the heck it meant when I started becoming active in the fandom. Then again, I'm slow:-).

And in the very minor concern department, I believe "mind whammy" is correctly spelled with a Y, not an ie. Yes, I am anal...

[TWoP Mars]

In my next edit this weekend, I'm going to link to the page in the FAQ that contains general descriptors and then we won't need any of those in our list.

Could someone define Model 503?

Could someone define Model 503?

Bizarro was the first episode this came up. There are Spoilers that hint what it may be about, but for now the audience does not know.

The spoilers that may be relevant are: 503 may refer to a missing Lana clone. We have been told by an semi-reliable source that cloning is somehow involved in Lana's survival. People speculate that a clone of Lana might have been planted in the car so that when it blew up the police could find a body. If Lex realizes a Lana clone is missing, he may figure out she is still alive, and tried to frame him.

What's the "going to Egypt" reference? Is it the scene from the costume party where MR (Caesar) and KK (Cleopatra), um, get together?

[mobiusklein]

If you mean references to pyramids and lounging by the Nile, it's a joke because "the Nile" sounds like "denial" and therefore when you hear something unpleasant like a hypothetical Clana wedding, one says "I'm sure that Lex/Chloe/Lois/Jesus/Jor-El will disrupt it and in the meantime, I'm drinking a mint julep on the banks of de Nile."

[PolarB]

What's the "going to Egypt" reference?

If you're referring to what I think you're referring to, it's actually not SV specific. It just means someone would prefer to live in the land of denial (the Nile) as opposed to wanting to accept the facts as provided. Because hey, in the case of SV, the facts as provided often times suck.

[Independent]

Denial. I get it. Thanks, mobiusklein and PolarB.

I think Chloe Sue-liivan or just Chloe Sue should be on that list.

[TWoP Mars]

leia, I understand your feelings that it's unfair there are so many negative Lana items on the list. But the list is just things that are commonly used on the board -- enough that people might get confused or ask questions. If Chloe Sue or Chloe Sue-llivan becomes used to that extent, I promise to add it.

Right now, I'm not adding anything anyway -- until there are at least a handful of things to add -- because the list is so big now that it's larger than the posting size limit, so I have to work some magic to get it that big.

[Avalyssa]

How about TPTB = The Powers That Be (i.e. Network Executives, Exec Producers, etc. that can exert their influence on the direction of the show)

I've seen this alot and didn't know what this meant until someone explained it in their post.

[Kahhhn]

It's already there.

JL: Justice League: Green Arrow, Impulse, Cyborg, Aquaman, and Black Canary

Lion-El: used to indicate a Lionel possessed by, or influenced by, Jor-El
Lightswitch: Term used to describe sudden, unexplained skill development, character change or behaviors. From an episode: "The road to darkness is a journey, not a lightswitch."

Lollie: Lois and Oliver ship
Lollipop: Omar G.'s name for Lana and Lex's unborn "child" in the Rage recap.

Magnificent Bastard (or MB): Lionel Luthor
Mary Sue: (or Sue) A pejorative term used to describe a fictional character, either male or female (though male characters are often dubbed "Larry Stu" or some other rhyming male name), that exhibits some or most of the clichés common in fan fiction, making the character itself something of a cliché. (Definition from Wikipedia)
Mind-whammy: When magic, Kryptonite, or other tricks are used to change a character's personality for an episode. Also "whammy."

OOC: Out of Character (example: Clark on RedK)
Pancakes (or pancake parents): Lana's parents, who were squished flat by the meteors in the pilot. [sarcasm]Lana doesn't talk about it much, so some people might not know, so you typically would use spoiler tags to impart this piece of information. Since it is such a deep secret unknown by many.[/sarcasm]
Peep, The: Lana. After the gooey pink Easter candy of the same name.
Peepex: Lex and Lana ship; used negatively
Pie: Long ago, Cyb commented that too many fic writers were writing Lex like a 13-year-old girl. She then wrote a fictional diary of Lex as if he were a 13-year-old girl. Another fan, no longer involved in the fandom, decided to do a reciprocal one for Clark, in which he acts like a 13-year-old boy. This had a memorable entry in which Bo was trying to talk to Clark about the danger of using his powers and hurting people, but Clark was more interested in the fact that there was pie for dessert. "Yay, pie!" became a catchphrase and the idea that Clark is obsessed with pie became fanon.
Pink, The: Lana. Inspired by her past passion for the pink palette.
Pink Script: A copy of the script for "Phantom" that was printed reportedly found in an airport trash bin and leaked on the internet before airing. "Pink" refers to the paper color.
Pod!Chloe: A boring passive version of Chloe. Possible causes include dating Jimmy Olsen, or the show shifting focus to Lois Lane
Pretty, The: Tom Welling
PS3 or PSSS: The new show running team of Peterson, Souders, Slavkin, and Swimmer.

TWoP Mars, well I'll definitely try to use it more often. Maybe it will catch on. ;)
