I'm pulling together a list of the most interesting words/phrases/memes to have sprung forth from the bitcoin community (and mostly within this forum)... please add those I have surely missed (esp with original sources)...

"Zhou-tongued"
Genesis:   https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=49445.msg588749#msg588749
Credit:     Cypherdoc
Meaning:  To be wiped out, have a position liquidated, lose everything.
Example:  "shit, I went all in long at 5:1 leverage, then bad news came out of China and the spot dropped 200 points, wipeout, I've been completely fucking zhou tonged, my wife's gonna kill me"

"The new wealthy elite"
Genesis:   https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=12156.0
Credit:     Atlas
Meaning:  Literal. Tongue in cheek reference to the gains some early bitcoin holders may experience.
Example:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2ku1A5Ox8U (2:22)

"Two more weeks"
Genesis:   https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=119351.msg1314335#msg1314335
Credit:     Inaba / Josh (Butterfly Labs)
Meaning:  Now infamous phrase meaning anything but two weeks, read "We hope to ship in maybe two weeks" as "You may receive something vaguely related to your order in a year, or so". Born during the Butterfly Labs mining hardware shipping-delay-debacle.

"Bitcoin user not affected"
Genesis:   https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=144152.0
Credit:     Zerohedge user community
Meaning:  The worlds financial systems may be falling apart, but all is good in the world of bitcoin, where normal problems don't apply.
Examples: Click link above)

"Goxxed"
Genesis:   ??
Credit:     ??
Meaning:  To experience a massive personal financial catastrophy, attributable in some form to mismanagement at Mt Gox.
Example:  Yesterday I had enough bitcoins to buy a car, then Gox was hit by a DDOS and went offline, my sell order was queued up but the trading engine was lagging 45 minutes behind, eventually my order was filled at the bottom of a 50% crash, now I can barely afford a bike - totally Goxxed"

"HODL" / "HODLING" / "SODLING"
Genesis:   https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=375643
Credit:     GameKyuubi
Meaning:  Hold / Holding / Selling
Example:  "HODL!" https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=375643.msg4023137#msg4023137

"To the moon!"
Genesis:   ??
Meaning:  Up, hopefully an exorbitant amount.
Credit:     ??

hacker approved
meaning: if a hacker cant break it apart, thus they trust it to hold their own wealth, shouldn't everyone?
genesis: general chatter/common sense, no source

I DO NOT TRADE OR ACT AS ESCROW ON THIS FORUM EVER.
Please do your own research & respect what is written here as both opinion & information gleaned from experience. many people replying with insults but no on-topic content substance, automatically are 'facepalmed' and yawned at

One more:

"Soonish"
Genesis: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=7015.0;wap2
Credit: Mark Karpeles
Meaning: Not soon.
Examples: "mtgox should be back, soonish'", "We should have an official announcement ready soon-ish"



"Goxxed" is probably from this song - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2ku1A5Ox8U

Actually I think it is probably the other way around.
