Little Green Footballs Dictionary

This page is a dictionary of slang terms and neologisms that originated on or were popularized by the Web site Little Green Footballs. It is a work in progress — no claim to infallibility is made. Corrections and updates will be posted periodically.

For now, the entries are categorized according to where they originated and how widely used they are. This schema may change eventually, with all entries placed in a single alphabetical list with each source noted individually, but until the origins of most terms are more definitively ascertained I’ll keep these categories.

If you want to submit new corrections, definitions, citations or nominees, leave a comment on the most recent thread on this blog, and one of the administrators will see it and implement the change, if it is deemed valid. We would especially like to get links to the “first known use” of any term, whether on an LGF thread as proof it originated on LGF, or on a different site, as proof it originated elsewhere.

The LGF Dictionary and this page were created and maintained for years by zombie. Starting in July of 2007, the site will have an additional number of admins, who will cooperate in maintaining the dictionary. (Names to be added soon).
