Launch Lingo Reformation

[Daddyisabar]

And I thought it was just a 5th Element reference.

Using movie Launch Lingo is very, very dangerous. Why saying “Jehovah Light” will certainly get you stoned (not in a good way) from all the Monty Python - Life of Brian fans. Even with out a beard I might find that heavy rocket that doesn’t fly well and give it a hurl.

You speak Newspeak (George Orwell in the novel 1984 – pre internet - black and white movie times) so I don't know exactly what this means.:confused2: I was responding to the quote about experienced rocketeers having to read this “filth” in order to understand and judge it, and that any pleasure derived was merely incidental.:y::eyepop::blush: This is a take on the “old tyme” Supreme Court Justices locking themselves in their chambers to examine pornography.:shock: Maybe a couple of five hour energy drinks with a few Dr. Thunders topped off by a Red Bull are in order. Here is my attempt at Newspeak – Midpower NXS 4U! LOL BFF

SAY WHA??? Youmaknfunome?:bangbang::bangpan:op:

That's not Newspeak. And example of Newspeak would be something like "Estes RTF doubleplusungood" or "Rocket dollar unbellyfeel doubleplusungood".

What you have is modern internet slang.

After a hundreds of launches, lots of Scouts, newbies and super nanny kids with whimpy parents, all shooting and blasting off their almost ready to fly rockets, I am certainly ready for the peace and tranquilly of the back woods. Launching one at a time with no pressure in the clean air must be heavenly, as opposed to cycling 12 pad racks as fast as possible in the haze and tension of the big city. Dude, you don’t know how good you have it – peace out!

No, what I described is the routine at my Section's official launches and meets. My own launches close to home are a bit more low-key than that. We usually draw about 6-10 participants over the course of the day at our Section launches, with anything larger than 8 being regarded as a big turnout. Kids are a rarity. My Section's launches are held in the Albany metropolitan region (known locally as New York's Capital District, with a total population of about 1.2 million people) which is where it is based. That is quite far away from where I live.

True Orwellian Newspeak as you have listed above is way beyond what most readers on this forum would even begin to understand - so I used it as a synonym (crimethink) for Internet Slang vs. Oldspeak. If Orwell was alive today he would be appalled by internet slang just as he was by Espiranto and Soviet Slogans. However, Newspeak could be helpful in the nagging age old debate regarding the repetitive terms of Motor vs. Engine. To really eliminate thinking I would just use the term shooter. Then the old E’s that used to CATO would be doubleplusungoodshooters. The fondness towards the old C5 or anything that worked would simply be goodshooter. Eventually, there would only be one doubleplusgoodshooter that would work every time, and only one doubleplusgoodrocket to use it in.:dark:

UPDATE: THE CORRECT LINGO HAS BEEN SET.

As we all live in great fear of Hazmat Shipping charges we now have STARTERS to START our motors. Before pressing the start button you must now count down 5-4-3-2-1- START! No other Lingo is acceptable as it will surely result in the thought criminal uttering any other phrase being taken away by the guys in blue coats with yellow letters. Thrown into a black SUV you will never be seen again and good riddance I say; another crazed explosives maniac igniting his or her pyrogen is liquidated. Long live Shoe Goop STARTERS and stability maintenance with in our society! OOPS! Did I just say Shoe Goop? Oh NO, I see the SUV coming down the road, got to RUN!

Did you feel that? That slight tremor underfoot is the entire bell curve moving to the left. Pretty soon we'll be pushing the GOER button and hope the FLOATER comes out...

I think commode and feces will be the top PC choices on that one. Pinching a loaf on the crapper must be banned immediately!

Glad to see that my favorites weren't on the list... Now that it's clear of the tower, I'll pickle one off.

Hit the pickle button...

Just call it what you want (so long as it's technically correct)and let the anal retentive types pound sand...

What style of retainer should one use for anal retention? I'd assume the screw-in type is best.

 

[ThirstyBarbarian]

Out west, we use gunslinger lingo at launches:

"Go on! Skin that smokewagon and see what happens!"

Sometimes we go a bit bandito:

"Adelante, carajos! Echen bala!"

I'm not the one to ask... there are others here on the forum more knowledgeable about that subject than I...

That's a real pain in the butt.
