[Fredslist] Gotham thesaurus - update

[Stuart Kamen]

Hello, Everyone,

Just a quick update re: the Gotham thesaurus that I posted about last week (full text follows below in this string). Thus far, I have received responses from many of you, with the following words/terms - in no particular order - submitted for entry:

Fresh fish
Hinterlands
Zinderland
Riding the Circuit
The Traveling Willburys
Gotham posse
Gotham Batmen
Gotham Bombers
Gotham elevator pitch
It’s better to give than receive…
Tribe
Renatto
Seelig

I am compiling all of the definitions so that we can easily "decode" all future fredslist posts.

Let me know if you have any other words / terms / sayings that you'd like to be included in our fledgling document. Thanks!

>> As a (still) relatively new member, I'd like to assist in putting together a "Gotham thesaurus" of some sort. I keep coming across certain terms or common parlance that are used frequently on Fredslist posts. Might be a fun project, but would need significant input from more established "tribal elders" to flesh this out a bit.

>> "Renatto"
>> Named after the first member who said "thank you" in response to a Fredslist request. It also means that "I have plenty of input to work with. Please stop (as there are far more than enough responses to go through)." It was sent by member Renato Tichauer. (We added the extra "t" to distinguish from his name.)

>> "Seelig"
>> In Gothamese, this is when a member, after receiving tribal feedback to a post, consolidates the answers and presents the responses via Fredslist for the benefit of all. It is named after Carol Seelig, the first Tribe member who fed back in this fashion. (It is normally accompanied by a Renatto, letting all know that they can stop responding.)

>> Anyway, if anyone out there has anything that they'd like to contribute toward this rather strange endeavor, please send it my way. I'll be sure to send out a Renatto when I have enough ... and eventually a Seelig when a document is prepared....
