Hey folks, I’m trying to compile this Glossary of GNE slang for Selva’s mag, and I was wondering if you could give it a quick once-over and let me know if there’s a phrase I’m missing?

Also if you have a funny redefinition for something I’ve already defined, I totally want it.

My contact email address is on the page.

If there’s anyone without an XML-capable browser, let me know and I can try to cook up some javascript that’ll let you read the glossary -
thanks…

On the contrary - I was struck by how complete it seemed to be! Very nice work, Eglantine. :)

While we’re on the subject of contributions, could I remind everyone that I’m still compiling GNE-related anagrams?

I am unable to see anything when I look at the Glossary link, but would love to see it. I guess my browser is deficient in some way? (I’m using IE 5.5 right now.)

Whoops sorry Eleanor, I assumed that all GNE-capable browsers were XSL/XSLT capable too.

Try http://www.geegaw.com/gne/glossary/ (same as previous link, just without the xml filename at the end)?

Hm, arg; in Chimera (OS X) the link with the .xml is just a mass of unformatted unbroken text (hard to read!) and the link without the .xml just has a title and no other text (the title appears to be a link, but clicking on it doesn’t do anything). Doing View Source on the .xml works, though; I don’t mind reading tags. *8)

Perhaps ‘potlach’ (a kind of party where the host makes a big pile of stuff, and the guests either take from it or add to it or both) and ‘spam’ (as in ‘who spammed downtown with hairballs?’ or ‘someone’s spammed bobbleton with spam!’).
