The Datalounge Glossary

I've always found "MARY" to be intriguing and amusing but am unaware of any rules for its use.

I'm a lifelong Democrat, BUT... = I'm a Deplorable

Another vote for MARY.

Although that video featuring three elephants kind of made it a bit clearer for me.

r1, Mary! Is pretty much a "You are such a gay geek!" / obsessed with something trivial like a classic TV / Broadway show, a minor celebrity, cooking, social etiquette, etc.

You type fat = You sound like a fat frau / basement dwelling BITCH!

The Nephew Troll = For your own safety slowly back away from this one (fits other trolls as well though - see: Erna).

I had taken the "basement dwelling millennial" cliche to be nothing more than a Datalounge joke, but last night, in that Orange Shirt movie, Julian Morris played a veterinarian who lives in his grandmother's basement.

Earrings & Caftans = Traditional garb of Dataloungers. It can also work as superhero disguise when one hears the alarm siren call of Judy Garland's Somewhere Over The Rainbow.

R4 is a frau.

"I am not the _____ troll, but ..." = "I *definitely am* the _____ troll."

I eat old people's excrement.

WWJD = What Would Joan Do

"Mary!" = "You're a great big queen." It's as simple as that.

So cases where you might use "Mary!" as a valid response:

a) for whenever people wax purple in an attempt to sound lyrical or profound: e. g. "Truly 'The Ambassadors' is the most sun-lit of Henry James's novels"--> "Mary!"

b) someone describing how nelly & fussy they are (such as when they told someone off in a really gay way): e.g. "Then I told her that I was not accustomed to being subject to a saleswoman's lack of knowledge of colognes at Sak's, and that such service was simply unacceptable!"--> "Mary!"

c) if someone is trying to sound ridiculously butch and failing: "So I told my best brah he could spot me when I dead-lifted 350 lbs."--> "Mary!"

The alternative to "Mary!" is, of course, "GURRRRRRRRL..."

They're pretty much interchangeable, but the latter is always always used when describing the attire or behavior or appearance of E.J. Johnson

This is why we can't have nice things! = Prude, self loathing conservative

When the man goes up in another man = anal intercourse

That is why they hate us=In order to maintain the priveleges afforded by the closet, I will gladly give up all rights to being my honest self

This is why Trump will be reelected in 2020 = I foolishly believe that by uttering these magic words I will shut down anyone speaking the truth.

[quote]"Then I told her that I was not accustomed to being subject to a saleswoman's lack of knowledge of colognes at Sak's, and that such service was simply unacceptable!"--> "Mary!"

No true Mary! would type "Sak's" instead of "Saks."

Hillary's Emails! / Benghazi! / Pantsuits! / Pizzagate!= Hillary Clinton is the Devil (Deplorable Speak)

I am no ..., but ... = Oh boy, here we go *rollingeyes*

The Radical Left = Right Wing trolls projecting their own radicalism onto others.

(insert poster's reply number) Would someone please shit in my mouth? = I politely disagree with the poster.

W&W, r13.

“Mary” is not a DLism. Good god, how sheltered are some of you? It’s ancient gay slang (google polari) and it’s used exactly the same way heterosexual men use “dude.”

How is this hard to figure out?

You had me until "dude," r25. Where I came out, New York in the '70s, "bitch" is gay for "dude."

[quote][R1], Mary! Is pretty much a "You are such a gay geek!" / obsessed with something trivial like a classic TV / Broadway show, a minor celebrity, cooking, social etiquette, etc.

Actually, Frannie Frau, it’s a term of address for absolutely any male homosexual. It has nothing to do with geekdom (?) gay or otherwise, or even anything to do with that handy list of gay stereotypes that you included. A man who possesses or is currently displaying no stereotypically “gay” traits is still addressed or referred to as “Mary.” The point is usually to skewer the target’s sense of self-importance or seriousness, so it is often most effectively deployed against someone trying too hard to appear straight and/or butch.

So make a note of this and tape it to your computer as a handy reminder when pretending to be a gay man on Datalounge.

“This is why Trump won” = I identify with Fascists.

I'll pee on your grave standing up and decorate your grave with scratched Janet Jackson records.

[quote] “...asking for a friend.” = Asking for your own damn self.

[quote] Moo!

Common Heifer greeting.

R27 - I don't think I've witnessed "Mary!" being effectively deployed. Here and out in the real world I take it to mean someone wants to talk but has little to nothing to contribute.

Cagemeat = an imprisoned male who causes your mussy to start huffing like a blacksmith’s bellows

J’accusé!

Used to accuse someone of something.

'Hot guy' - old, homely, hairy with a dad bod

"I'd like him inside me deeply' - I'm 73 years old, and if it has a penis, and a breath, it could fuck me. But, that hasn't happened since 1985.

Turnip = Trump.
