Our memes
Posted: Tue Feb 16, 2010 3:45 pm
I came across a discussion about the boon meme and I suddenly thought it could be quite fun to make a list and possibly describe all the memes that were created here since the beginnings of PC... so let's start now 
Boon smiley
Coined by: the pr0oO group in 2008.
Consists in: posting a boon smiley (
) to express contempt regarding the above or quoted message.
The term 'boon' was used by the pr0oO group to describe idiotic individuals. It gave its name to the 'boon scores', but also to the corresponding emoticon, which became widely used and was even added to the Pirate Community smilies.
'Youhouhouh ! You stink !'
Coined by: Paolo in 2005.
Consists in: posting the 'Youhouhouh ! You stink !' expression to annoy and/or insult the targeted user.
This expression was first posted by Paolo to annoy the users of the English forums. It has subsequently been quoted numerous times for various purposes.
Jumper cables
Coined by: #Rubber mark# in 2018 (seemingly heavily inspired by u/rogersimon10’s Reddit stories from 2015)
Consists of: Posting a believable story about a mischievous activity the poster got involved in, and gradually decreasing the viability before concluding with the member’s father figure taking them to the garage, usually calling them a nasty name, and beating them with a pair of jumper cables. Very popular during 2018, but died down after many members left near the end of that year.
DORK DORK DORK
Coined by: timoo in 2014
Consists of: Repeating the word Dork in all caps three times with the emoticon after it. Was originally created by timoo to troll member technology4617, though it commonly remained used by Jlfksjlfl allies and members against the club’s enemies.
Castrer un Rayman
Coined by: Matyuv in 2005
Consists of: Posting the message “Castrer un Rayman” on the French forums, which annoys the members who actually spoke French and wanted to engage in serious discussions. Was birthed after Droolie “castrated” Rayman in July 2005
Conservational networks
Coined by: Matyuv in 2004
Consists of: Posting an extract from a computer document, particularly on dead topics, for the purpose of annoying members and getting a post. Was taken to a new extreme by Th3()ne in 2005, who posted the message in active topics and sometimes made multi-posts of computer text over 20 posts long.
Bleah. Spam.
Coined by: Canard WC in 2005
Consists of: Posting said message upon seeing a post that comes across as spammy. Though he quite often used it on any post that he disproved of. Many other members caught wind of this and it became a popular phrase to counter spam with.
Ik ben een aardappel
Coined by: Matyuv in 2005
Consists of: short, often vulgar messages containing the Dutch word for potato, or commonly the Dutch translation of “I am a potato” on the Dutch topics”. Is also common in Record Day quote pyramids.
The Dango smiley
Created: By El Dango in late 2008
Consists of: Posting the Dango Smiley (
) for slight annoyance, in place of another emoticon or just for the sake of it.
The Dango smiley was created by El Dango for fun,and its apparent coolness resulted in a sudden explosion of Dango smilies around the forum, and similarly to the Boon smiley was added to PC's list of smilies. It has not remained as consistently popular as the Boon smiley however, as it never served any real purpose.
Building off the popularity of the Dango, Holy Crap created A greatly enlarged Dango smiley gif, complete with eyes that flash in annoying colours. This found popularity just as quickly as the Dango smiley, but due to its nature had a far more horrible impact; for a short period of time, all who visited PC were tortured by its poor outline and flashing colours. This torture was so severe that even its creator came to hate it (not unlike Frankenstein and his monster) and in an attempt to scourge it from the internet, deleted it from his photobucket account, but not before it was saved by Acarr.
A-baba-dee-boop-ba!
Created: By Holy Crap sometime in 2008
Consists of: Usually posting the phrase A-baba-dee-boop-ba! in, or as the entirety of, a post for fun, annoyance or in the case of Record Day 2009, to earn tings from Holy Crap.
Holy Crap initially used this musical onomatapoeia for a small amount of time to annoy PC users and for fun. He edited it into the bottom line, added it to his posts and even created an account with that as its name, then set its birthday to be on those days so that it would display at the bottom of the screen.
He then unleashed it again in 2009's record day, having it copied and ready to paste on every post. He and Matyuv filled several pages of the Introducing topic that day, HC saying "A-baba-dee-boop-ba!" (often preceded by "Indeed it is ") and Matyuv replying "Good 
” At one point, Holy Crap offered tings to other users to also add the phrase to their posts. Toward the end of the day it was incorporated into a song Holy Crap created called "Record Day Blues".
Gangsta Globox
Coined by: Matyuv in 2005
Consists in: a poor quality picture of Globox drawn with the rectangle tool.
The picture became quite popular, there is a special Gangsta Globox rank at PC. th3()ne created a tutorial how to make similar images and several members have made their own "Gangsta" creatures since then.
Hamish
Coined by: Serza in 2008
Consists in: Any reference to the real-life person Hamish and/or Serza's obsession with him.
Hamish is a boy Serza fancied in real life in 2008, so jokes ensued around her obsession. To this day, Hamish still doesn’t know about his popularity across the forums.
Buoni gli spaghetti
Coined by: Canard WC in 2010
Consists of: posting the message “buoni gli spaghetti, buoni gli spaghetti, buoni buoni buoni buoni, buoni gli spaghetti !
”. Usually taking a random noun out of context and replying with:
< is out of understanding
Coined by: Jack l'escroc in 2010
Consists of: posting the message on a thread that isn’t the you game (despite it being structured like a post on that thread) for a gag or an extra post. Reached a height of popularity on Record Day 2018.
Make Matyuv A Mod!
Coined by: timoo in 2008
Consists of: putting this emoticon in the member’s signature to show their support of Matyuv becoming a mod.
It saw a revival in 2009 after Matyuv actually gained moderation status, and followers of Harpic Fraîcheur and the Jlfksjlfl remade the banner years later, featuring a bottle of Harpic and Mr Dark holding the sign.
