what semantics are SL specific, have you made any up yourself?
"ruthed" is an obvious one
adding SL to a word that begins with an L is another "I'm in SLove" etc
oh, and for the older generation that remembers 'snigglets' do you have any for SL?
I need one to describe that embarassing situation where your shoe is suddenly in your crotch and when you tp while sitting and can't stand up hehe...

I certainly can't take credit for it or know who started it, but one of my faves is "Lindened"= totally screwed up, fubar, hopelessly broken...as in, "Oh crap, the Friends list is still Lindened after the update."
 I imagine people will have a field day with this topic. _____________________

GOM'd is very SL specific - it refers to what happened to the GOM currency exchange when LL introduced the LindeX, allegedly after discussions between LL and GOM had already taken place.

I love "tele-cramps". We need one for peope who forget to stop dancing when they teleport too.
I was thinking after reading tele-cramps that it should be "tele-boodied" since not only shoes but any attachment can end up there after a teleport. _____________________

"Cannot rez object. Object is missing from database."
That's all I've been getting for the past 4 months. SL has become synonimous with crap in my book. _____________________

Since you get the shoe up the butt when teleporting, how about "Teleporked".
I like tele-cramped too! Or what about "hoseballed"? _____________________

"Blingtard" - derogatory term for a user who wears to much bling
"First Life" - Abbreviated as FL. the consentual world. "IM Coma" - when someone is stuck in so many Ims they cannot take action onscreen. "IMmobilized" - See IM Coma "Landbot" (also copybot, malbot) - no definition necessary "SLarcolepsy" - the "away" bug Mari _____________________

(PMSL? Oh... got it. Took a sec.) An ya, I saw dat the other day. I couldn't figure it out at all. Maybe MySLace? SLacers? MySpace Cases? Mari _____________________

newspapered grey goo rezzing pose ball/dance ball Dunno on the others, but "Gray Goo" goes back into Sci Fi somewhere, long before SL. An "Rezzing" comes from the movie Tron. Both have taken on distinct meanings in SL though, I s'pose. Mari _____________________

There's, uh, probably a lot of things you didn't know about lindens. Another, another interesting, uh, lindenism, uh, there are only three jobs available to a linden. The first is making shoes at night while, you know, while the old cobbler sleeps.You can bake cookies in a tree. But the third job, some call it, uh, "the show" or "the big dance," it's the profession that every linden aspires to.
