Sheffield Geek Idiolect

Please use this wiki as a lazy encyclopedia of all of the bullshit turns of phrase, obscure or non-English words, and jokes that we use more commonly than normal human beings. If you can think of anything else to use it for, go for it.

Style Guide

Title

Should be Heading 1, Title Case (Like American Headlines), and generic where appropriate (In Your X, Ying Your Z). Keep entries in alphabetical order and use your common sense with trailing As, Thes and so on - cross-reference where appropriate..

Definition

As terse or loquacious as you please, follows immediately after the title in Normal style.

Other Headings

Heading 4. Nothing prescribed because not all entries will need or indeed have anything or everything, but ideas would be Example (if a phrase can be used in different ways, use Example 1, Example 2 and so on), Origin (could include the person who first used it, date coined, popular culture source it was stolen from, anything really), Death (why and when it stopped being funny), Notes (anything else), See Also (related entries on this site), External Links (to popular culture website, for example, but wherever possible include these hyperlinked over appropriate text within definition or other lines). Please add more headings to this guide as they become useful and necessary.
