From 'Trop Tard,' literally "too late" in French.
Taken to mean someone who is compulsively late, or in the wrong place at the wrong time. Generally useful in any situation in which one wishes to degrade someone who is not on time for any reason.
"What? John's not going to be here til 11. How mich is that?"
"Totally. Let's ditch the Troptarded D&D-mo before he messes with our plotfuckery."
Noun: State-of-being.

"Okay...you wanna fight Lolth? Roll Initiative!"
"Congratulations, Strahd's new best friend is D&D-mo here."
"Be my guest. Go try and 'understand' them."

"Level one D&D-mo vs. Mindflare? This should be interesting. Don't bother rolling."
"Remember 'Mazes and Monsters'?"

Disease that occurs when someone who qualifies as emo attempts to infiltrate a D&D troupe by making a character and pretending to know what they are talking about. Symptoms include:
Thinking Ravenloft would be a nice place to live;
Always min/maxes so his or her charisma is 18 to start; Belives that the drow are merely misunderstood;
Thinks Lolth is a M.I.L.F. (Monster I'd like to Fight); Argues that re-rolling ones is a right, not a privilege; Doesn't know who the guy in "Mazes and Monsters" is;
Doesn't know Vin Diesil's roots;
Wants to solo the MindFlare
Constantly asks when Loner will become its own class;
Takes this list seriously.
"Congrats, D&D-mo, Strahd is your new best friend."
"Way to go fugly."
"Go for it dude...keep in mind she's a ginormous black spider."
"Shut up, strength-6-boy."
"Yeah, that guy from 'Big'?"
"Who do you think wrote the foreword to the 30th Anniversay Special?"
"You want to solo that? Roll Initia---you're dead."
"Loner IS a class, D&D-mo, epic level Solitary Warrior"
"Yeah, publish this!"

little known movie starring Tom Hanks, based on Dungeons and Dragons, and was released around the same time as national outcry feared D&D was going to be some twisted Lovecraftian cult.
"'Big' was Tom Hanks' best movie ever!"
"Shut up D&D-mo. Go see Mazes and Monsters."

Booktivism (n) is the act of posting meme after meme on Facebook with the intent to promote awareness of a preferred political ideology or the wrongs of society in general, all the while sitting in your underwear in front of your computer. Antonyms: Activism, Going Outside.
Ex. 1: From the tome of Booktivism: "Hey, I posted 12 cleverly captioned images detailing how the current leaders are all coming for our things. You should be motivated to do something about it in a way that I will neither suggest or promote."
Ex. 2: Person: "Did you see all those things I posted about the failings of that guy's political initiatives?"
Person 2: "Did you go to your city council meetings or lobby your representatives to do something about it?"
Person: "No, but I-"
Person 2: "Did you rally people to join together in support of a better alternative or conduct a writing campaign to inform your community?"
Person: "No, but I-"
Person 2: "Have you even gone outside in the last week or walked around your neighborhood to meet new people?"
Person: "I scored the longest word on Words with Friends."
Person 2: "You're such a booktivist. Get a life."
