F

facebug : 1. Whatever terrifying creature Megan was brushing off her face in frame 1917.

2. Any beesnake that behaves similarly.

They are not scientists, nor are they Adam & Eve. I say they mean facebug as in the class of bugs that tend to land on ones face. So, a molpysquito and a beesnake are both facebugs. (@azule, OTT:807:11)

3. Facebook.

I just spent 2 nopix trying to find a question I had asked (see spoiler), before figuring out the answer myself, and then realizing I had asked the question in Facebug during the S**ness. (@mrob27, OTT:1860:33)

Hopefully some of you have seen my pix on Facebug. (@lmjb1964, OTT:2227:36)

FaiD : Free as in Destitute, a forum (category of threads) on the xkcd board that is available only after one has applied to and been accepted into the "The Truly Free" usergroup. This thread explains what it is about; after joining, this post elaborates further, and the inability to edit one's posts is explained here. More cultural background and basic rules are set out here and here. The name derives not from "Free as in (Beer/Speech)", but from "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose".

First Commandment : "Wait for it." — The title text of most of the frames of the OTC (all but the last 180 frames), taken as an imperative potentially applicable to many things beyond its initial context.

Remember thou the First Commandment, and keep it wholly: Wait for It. (@KarMann, OTT:336:22)

FF : Food Funding, i.e. money (see FFS)

OverTim is acceptable if there is additional FF. Extremely unmolpish if not. (@HES, OTT:2599:25)

FFS : 1. Food Funding Source, equivalent to the Outsider term "job".

(FFS is a notional acronym that never actually appeared in the OTC prior to its derivative WOMFFS; the first reference to "food funding source" is at OTT:2108:11. It was retroactively defined as an acronym-ending in OTT:2215:19. The acronyms HFFS, MFFS, NMFFS, WFFS, etc. are all derived from it.)

2. Fahrradfinanzierungsstelle (German, "bicycle funding department")

I hope that this went without any downsides for your FFS. (FFSn are important, don't forget!) / n: FFS = Fahrradfinanzierungsstelle, Plural: Fahrradfinanzierungsstellen / (Fahrrad = bicycle, Finanzierung = funding, Stelle = department) (@Sustainabilizer, OTT:2443:10)

FFT : FaiD FleetingThoughts, a thread in the FaiD forum.

filk : Early term for a song OTTification.

(By the way, I just call the process "filking"; 25 years in the SCA.) (@jjjdavidson, OTT:507:36)

Firefox : Euphemism for "i.e.", which is Latin for "that is". The joke is that IE is evil so we don't want to say "i.e.". Firefox is sometimes also used (incorrectly) to mean "e.g.".

firstpost : The first post in the OTT by any particular person. That person is then (for a while) referred to as (a) Revealer the Recent. Firstposts that are also the first post by that user in the entire xkcd fora need to be approved by a moderator, causing a delay; when approved the post appears in the place it would have appeared had that person been approved immediately. Because of the relative rapidity of the OTT this often causes one or more goats to be shifted into mome position.

flutterbeewingish : Beautiful (a reference to frame 2114).

I found a new adjective (however, without footnote (yet))BugwingishOTC / flutterbeewingishOTT OTColourifications, BlitzGirl and Goggalor! (@ZoomanSP, OTT:1364:21)

foam maiden : A Pythonesque torture device.

you may be placed in the foam maiden (it's like the iron maiden, but made out of the tthe memory foam they use in mattresses.) (@Dracomax, OTT:637:39)

Friday : Outsider term for Davéandix.

FTF : 1. Fixed That For... (a partial acronym seen in FTFY and FTFM)

2. From The Future. (a partial acronym seen in *BFTF, OFTF)

3. A partial-acronym template referencing any of the above. (also FT "fixed that", or TF "that for", etc.)

gholpy : An ethereal pixel-change, possibly a molpy, possibly a ghost, or possibly mustard (a later name for the edgemolpy).

glie : unknown A word with indeterminate meaning (but possibly meaning "water"), part of @ucim's language of the "raft people" used in Acts of the Clerics.

The man said: Smibbin halcoyum! Glie! / The woman said: Byestomach! Tu ivig bo vroye! Glie! / The man said: Glie! smopu glie! / ... (@ucim, OTT:1195:27)

... pointing whence they came, the woman said: Byestomach! Tu ivig bo vroye! Glie! / BlitzGirl said: Glie has to be water. They keep saying that. So, it must be a lot of water. / nodding, the man said: smopu glie! smopu! / Vytron said: "smopu" must mean "a lot" / ... (@ucim, OTT:1292:21)

BlitzGirl took the Arrow, and in her halting version of whatever it is that she thought they were speaking, tried to explain. She gestured towards whence they came, saying "Smopu Glie, kavinchi... uh... manhieb? manhiobu?...", and she raised her hands up. Then she held the Arrow, pointed to her head, and then to theirs, and looked intently at the Arrow. "Ambenni... bu", she said, and held the Arrow tightly and closed her eyes. "Smopu abmenni... uh... ambenni! Kiepu glie." (@ucim, OTT:1387:10)

The foreign couple's words are mostly gibberish; there isn't enough of their dialog to make it worth developing an entire language for this. I've picked a few words to maybe have meaning (e.g. smopu - a lot; glie - water;) but left it open (glie - run; smopu - quickly). Calling out to the raft could well consist of names. (@ucim, OTT:1414:11)

[The Pope said] [...] floob weeble flibble flibble twonk. Fweeb dweeb bloop HODOR! Hodor hodor HODOR HODOR HODOR… / The Clerics whisper among each other, before escorting the Pope, still Hodoring away, off the stage. The First Cleric steps up to the mic. (@yappobiscuits, OTT:1832:29)

n. A character (name) appearing in automeme output.

BLESS YOU, HODOR. BLODOR. (@mrob27, OTT:1873:9)

VERY IMPORTANT FOR HODOR TO DO XIM WOTTERMOLPY (@ChronosDragon, OTT:2020:2)

IF MOLPYONG DOWN IN THE TOWER IS PRICKLY, CONSIDER ME HODOR. (@balthasar_s (as @bothasar_p), OTT:2164:12)

HODOResque : Like HODOR (q.v.)

Perhaps we could add a gallery of HODOResque screenshots to the Madness page this yip since there were so many "incidents". (@BlitzGirl, OTT:2288:10)

HODORish : Like HODOR (q.v.)

I really hope The Madness will not affect the Timeyversary and it will start after it, because that would be really HODOR. I mean... stupid. Also the possibility that the OTT could be saved from RECKONING (again) sounds great. (@NoMouse, OTT:1814:6)   ⌇   We don't really have a newword for "stupid" yet, so I proposeni ni ni we adopt HODOR. (@BlitzGirl, OTT:1814:7)   ⌇   In order to avoid standardization/standardisation (ni, ni, ni, chupacabra ping pong and all that), I propose "HODORish" for stupid, since all the other adjectives are "ish" :P (@ChronosDragon, OTT:1814:9)

Well, it's pretty widely accepted that Cueball's a little... HODORish. (@Soup, OTT:1814:10)

hotdog : n. 1. Sandcastle Builder.

You are making an awefulsome game. You are doing it for free. There is no need to apologize for some mustard. When making hot dogs some mustard may be spilled. I am grateful that you are willing to spend so much time to make this game. (@Neil_Boekend, OTT:1527:19)   ⌇   Thanks for your understanding. Henceforth I shall refer to the game as a hotdog. (@Eternal Density, OTT:1527:20)

2. More generally, any videogame, online game, or piece of recreational software.

Indeed. I suppose that technically they are Otherhotdogs in comparison to the One True Hotdog that is Sandcastle Builder. (@BlitzGirl, OTT:1547:30)   ⌇   Technically it's not the One True Hotdog. It's not like a Hotdog Vendor only dispenses a single Hotdog and I'm not the only Vendor. Even your crosswords are mini-Hotdogs (@Eternal Density, OTT:1547:31)

v. 1. To play a game.

Well now it's been half a dip since I've been able to hotdog safely. This is unacceptable. (@Eternal Density, OTT:1563:16)

hour : n. An Outside unit of measurement referring to the length of time a TimeWaiter can comfortably Wait without receiving new content. Normally this happens in the form of a newpix. Lately it has not; and this has made many TimeWaiters uncomfortable. (definition by @taixzo, OTT:1397:3)

housemolpy : A cat (OTTification of "housecat") or pet ("housepet").

Whatever you do, don't look behind the third door on your right. I can't explain why, but the consequences could be catHousemolpyastrophic. (@Dracomax, OTT:779:38)

Aww, have fun with your new housemolpy of the canine variety! They're a TimeWaiter's best friend! :D (@ChronosDragon, OTT:787:9)

hq : hectocue, a unit of length equal to 100 cueballs, or 177 m.

1 hq (hectocue) = 177 m (@mrob27, OTT:2119:19)

HTA : Home Time Accessor (in analogy to WTA)

Aaaand, now it's time to head home from my WTA. But I should be able to keep up with my MTA and my HTAs. Blitzing is more difficult when mobile, and I haven't set up all my fancy Blitzer-helper scripts at home yet. (@macraw83, OTT:2058:19)

To all OTTers who use Linux regularly: I'm considering dual-booting my HTA with Linux in addition to the Windows [...] and start learning how to use it while broadening my programming skills. (@macraw83, OTT:2118:5)

BRB switching to HTA. Had an idea about logging too. (AluisioASG in a chat, via @balthasar_s, OTT:2334:21)

hvala : adj blessed, or n blessing(s) (or a similar concept, seen in @ucim's language of the "raft people" used in Acts of the Clerics; see smopu) Also appears in alternate form hvalum.

Smopa hvala nuvi dict amuah. "I am greatly blessed to be among you." This is one of the High Dicta of the Raft People, and it is one to take to heart. (@ucim, OTT:1700:3)

Smopu hvalum de nuvium dict, le immen avum amuashi. (@ucim, OTT:2659:19)
