Subject: Mudcat jargon and 'inside' jokes

Click for the 'PermaThread™: List of all joke threads'


I've watched the Mudcat form its own cult-like jargon over the last couple of years. To keep it more accessible to new-comers and more inclusive, I think it would be helpful to have a thread defining some of the inside jokes and jargon that is unique to this forum. Here are some of the references that may confuse a new-comer.
Here is the challenge: Find the original thread or threads that explain the source of how these terms are used on the Mudcat and add a link to them.

Neil Young Center (provide full name and location with link to source thread)

Hamster dance

Christian Deer Hunters (sorry, I might not have that title right)

Tiple

Possum

Blue Clicky Thing (or thang)

Ocarina

If you can think of more, please add other terms that have special meaning when used on the Mudcat.
