I did NOT coin "BAT"...but I came up with some others...

"cornfield", "dent-bag", "TNFJ", "fesser", "kolij", etc...

Are there others - coined by me - that I've forgotten about ?

What are some other good ones coined by others ?

I think the term "lap sousaphone" is a Bloke Original™.

Wishing something away to the "cornfield" is from The Twilight Zone. It has been in common in use since the 1960s.

TNFJ is the best one.

Tony Clements is the person who coined BAT, I think. I thought it was Rick, but he said it was Tony.

Anything beginning with "bloke"...

Blokepiece
Blokepatch
Bloke...

Blokeplace. A magical land of tuba dreams and hospitality.

I use souzy because I am too lazy to always be typing out sousaphone. Likewise, in other forums (or would the technically correct Latin plural be "fora") I type Yammy instead of Yamaha, and Ibby instead of Ibanez.

Not to be confused with Dogpatch, recently purchased by Johnny Morris for redevelopment.

I love the term lap sousaphone - it's great.

Dentbag—I heard that first from Joe.

Yes, it was Tony’s size taxonomy that culminated in “that’s a big-a$$ tuba”.

Rick “or something like that” Denney

I have words to learn, oh boy!

Yes..."cornfield" refers to this Twilight Zone episode that we all know well...



...nearly as well as this one...



...but I believe I was the one who first applied it to tuba discussion list S̶e̶r̶l̶i̶n̶g̶ -surly-site-owner-deleted posts.

The jargon /lexicon may be very useful to us for a future project.

If you can of any more, please post them up, if we get enough, I'll post up the result of the project later

A glossary?

Just a list. The more the merrier

In Latin, the plural is "fora", because the noun "forum" follows the second type of declension and has neutral gender. For this type of declension, you have a nominative singular neutral noun... But, I think "forums" is the best usage today. It sounds less snobbish.

A spot on the jury!

Horn Porn is one of my favorites. Not sure when it was first used though.

I'm going to guess pictures of a very nice tuba?
