lolcat - tbd

Caturday

  • A day when people all around the internet create, submit, send, email and send pictures of lolcat’s around the world.
  • The word was initially coined many years ago by an anonymous user on the *chans (an online group of anonymous people).
  • This word has since grown and evolved into meaning slightly different contexts and memes. It has since spread through many forums, and online communities such as somethingawful, ebaumsworld and into many different meanings.
  • Throughout this all the tone of Caturday remains the same: POST SOME ******* CAT PICTURES.

happycat

  • our faithful gray friend, who begat his life to seek out the one true source of happiness… cheezburgers
  • it may be believed that he achieved this ultimate goal, but it was later found that it was not true

The head Meg-human from Cute Overload coined “Lol-usk” for any cute snail (tiiiiiiny snails or ‘I has a stik’ varieties). She is full of lol-smart. (Lol-edge?)

I wishes to add “popcat” to the list -

Popcat, n. -the reaction of a kitteh to a sudden, closeup movement or noise. It is a straight-up boinnng, somtimes with a backwards or twisting motion incorporated. It has no preliminary crouch or warning. May cause sequential popcats among hyoomanz or other cats. Ex. “Floofins went popcat when the toaster went off and I dropt teh buttur dish.”
