Young Writers Society

Oh! This was dead for a while! I'm glad to see that it's been revived, a bit!

Loinette: noun: a superior term of saying "small children"

Example: "Did you see Maurice's new loinettes?" "Yeah, they're so cute! I would kidnap them if it were allowed."

SUCCESSAMUNGO
suck•SESS•a•moon•go (exclamation): used to express immense joy after having completed something successfully; ie when one finishes homework or a lengthy storybook post.

Ex: After Billy finished his five page essay, he triumphantly twirled his pen into the air like a bayonet and caught it with a grin, exclaiming "Successamungo!" with gusto.

@Arcticus I feel like your suggestions will be helpful for the many generations of YWSers that encounter those.

Here's a few more suggestions for entries to include of common YWS phrases / abbreviations that may confuse new (& old) members.

Cake Day - the most wondrous day when you may celebrate your YWS-Anniversary, or the day that you joined YWS. It only comes around once a year though, so write it on your calendar. Every other day is simply your "Un-Cake Day".

#Classified - (abbreviated definition) "Classified" was a mysterious movement started in 2018, which has yet to have it's conspiracies exposed. A group of users insists upon spreading the "Classified" hashtags along with different mysterious symbols and clues. There is some evidence that this group's intention is to overthrow Big Brother and YWS. read the Unclassified Site Briefing for more details

KB / Knowledge Base - a place where you can find informative articles written about writing and YWS topics. here it is. Unlike other areas of the site, you can't just post your own article here, it must be reviewed and approved by someone in the "Resource Crew" (contact BluesClues or a mod in the Resource Crew for more info)

KotGR - abbreviation for "Knights of the Green Room." The Knights of the Green Room are a reviewing group on YWS that may be joined by declaring yourself a Squire in the Great Hall and then submitting 10 green room reviews in a log. They are the defenders of the Green Room.

LMS - abbreviation for "Last Man Standing" which is a long running writing contest on YWS club information here. (not to be confused with "please LMS for validation" -> ie. "please Like My Status for validation")

Mod / Moderator - a member of the "YWS Team" which assists in moderating the site, running events, and making sure things run smoothly. If you have questions you can reach out to them! Their names are in Dark Green (Global Moderators) and Lime Green (Junior Moderators) (Admins are red, and Distinguished Moderators (retired mods) are orange-yellow).

NaPoWriMo (or NaPo) - this stands for "National Poetry Writing Month" and takes place on YWS (and in the rest of the world) during the month of April. Some people also call it "GloPoWriMo" because it has morphed into a global phenomenon. The traditional goal is 30 poems, one poem for each day of April, but you can set your own goals. watch the NaPoWriMo thread for more details.

NaNoWriMo (or NaNo) - this stands for "National Novel Writing Month" where writers make it a goal to write 50,000 words in one month! It is celebrated traditionally in November, but there are other versions like "Camp NaNo" that happen during other times of the year too.

Oldies - a user who is ancient and/or eternal. They joined years and years and years ago, before some of us were even born, and yet they are still alive, and thriving. They know ~all~ the YWS secrets and historical nuggets, have a strong affection for someone named Pat Buchanan, and they're still trying to figure out what all the hashtags are for. They also may secretly be your grandma, so treat them with respect.

Team Tortoise - Someone who reviews at least once every single day of the month. This is tracked on the Leaderboard

Ultimate Color - a color that has preferable visual and linguistic qualities to every other color. (ie. dark cyan, scientific proof here)

Unclassified - a force for truth, who seeks to expose the secrets and conspiracies of the "#Classified Movement" (Join their cause in the Unclassified Club)

WFP / Writers Feed Pad - a shared document that is a little bit like a google document, were users can write at the same time (see "Write-Ins" and chat).

WRFF / Will Review For Food - this is not as the name implies the place where you trade cookies and potatoes for reviews. It is a thread where you can request reviews or volunteer to give reviews. No food is exchanged.

Write-In - a space where people can join together to write and chat, sometimes there is a theme or prompt, sometimes they are open to whatever. You can host your own or join in with others by joining in a Writers Feed Pad. You can also watch for them in the I'm Writing, Come Join Me thread.

I was just thinking "I should add Tenyo to this dictionary, with the definition as something to do with being awesome" and then I read the first post...

T.

-Tenyo-(n.) awesomeness in human form. (Definition under revision)

... and laughed so hard it hurt XD

AAAAAHHHHH!!!!!1!!!!!!1!!!!!!- (int.) Display of insanity caused by a duration of self isolation and browsing the internet.
