zero-bomb

On Newgrounds - to rate a flash or audio piece 0/5 for the sole purpose of bringing down the rating of that piece of work, for the sole purpose of annoying the author.

Elsewhere - to rate a piece of work the lowest possible grade for the same purpose. (Also called 1-bomb where the lowest rating is 1, but not commonly used outside of Newgrounds.)

Considered a form of spam.

<gnuwtey> Aw man, my flash's rating went from 4.04 to 2.85 with only 6 votes. Stupid zero-bombers.
<dernston> I agree, those zero-bombers really are annoying.

Pokeman

A misspelling of the word "Pokémon" that is common among older North American adults that did not grow up with video games, anime, and Japanese electronics.

Also a meme popularized by a picture of one cat holding a Game Boy Advance with a game slotted in, and telling another cat to "let me show you my pokemans".

<gnuwtey> Pokemon Diamond & Pearl, GETTO daze!
<nimda21> Hey, is that the new Pokeman game that came out?
<gnuwtey> It's "Pokemon", you know.
<nimda21> Hmm.
<gnuwtey> What's your ASL, anyway?
<nimda21> 47/m/Ohio. Why? What's yours?
<gnuwtey> *creeped out*

<nimda> You're saying it weird, why are you putting so much emphasis on the "u"?
<resu1> What're you talking about? I'm just saying it. Fourty. There are fourty days in Lent. Four times ten is fourty.
