I think there are a few terms we need to get away from with all of this.  I will even go so far as to say that the Discordian Society as a whole needs to get away from them, except while referencing them in the cutesy fun little stories they were used in to get their point across.  At this point they seem to be hindering the advancement of the ideas they represented.  Evidence of this is that these terms changed through time.  Because the last version of "Principia Discordia"  included these terms, must we use them, rather than continue to help the ideas evolve?
With "Aneristic", unless it is a forgery, the first edition of PD never used this term, but did however have these ideas.  Then better terms for the ideas were created.  Why does it have to be stagnant now?  Let's find a term that doesn't limit the use of the term only to us.  I am not very up on what is currently going on over in the damned UK, but I know that, in America at least, the nation as a whole is seeing an ever increasing part of their life influenced by that which can be called by this name.  I was hoping to find a word already widely used that would fit.  I, at present, am unable to find one, and I am too lazy to keep thinking about it.  I will eventually find, or create, one if someone else is unable to first.
Now, on to the one that I see thrown around in all the wrong ways: "Greyface".  Alright, I understand there was a story that included it.  I realise that story may have seemed like more than a story to some.  The point of it was not to call everyone a greyface.  The idea that it was used to spread is what is important, not the fucking name.  Humans*, or at least english speaking ones, seem to like to make references to literature, which is wonderful.  What is saddening, though, is when you refuse to state that the map is not the territory.  Do I call everyone who takes the fall for someone else "Jesus" or "Christ" or those words/names in any other language?  How about someone who seems powerful, but has a weakness that is either not known or difficult to use against them being called "Achilles"?  These are stories that have a message, and the two remain seperate.  Why do so many of you insist on calling people, or groups "Greyface".  We have other words out there that describe these people better, and more accurately.  At those times where it is the most suitable term, which is not as often as some seem to believe, I understand using it, or, even better, using "Greyfaced" or maybe "Greyfacian", but get the fuck over our stories.  Be more original, I know you can do it.
I don't even want to get started on cabbage, so I will repeat that last sentence: "Be more original, I know you can do it".  If not, then you all don't belong in the Discordian Society.  I am sure there is some neopagan group out there that wants you to believe their stories are wholly real.

You forgot to call him aneristic :mrgreen:
Oh, and for the OP:
I kind of liked "aneristic," as used heavily in pages 00049-00051 in the PD. That section was ment to be a parody of modern philosophy, which is ripe with made-up words that serve to inflate the egos of their speakers.
I kind of agree with you on the "Greyface" and "cabbage" thing. You make a really good point about "Greyface," and with respect to "cabbage," I never really liked it anyway, not to mention that it doesn't seem to be that central to the PD anyway.

Ry, I'd be happy to give up "Aneristic", "Greyface" and "Cabbage", provided you give me terms for the Illusion that there is, and should be, order in the things we percieve; for the characteristic of someone who attempts to assert Order and Personal Morality upon others; and for unthinking, robotic, knee-jerk domesticated apes.

First Church of Zen Irony, actually, I think.
discordian and society together, isnt that a paridox, societies there to bring order, stability and the social control that the man wants
discordia is the opposite
What dictionary are YOU using?
"A society is a group of human beings distinguishable from other groups by mutual interests, characteristic relationships, shared institutions and a common culture. "
Society = tiny group of individuals which rapidly grows into a huge fucking shambles

General Tarkin!
And rygD...all movements, all religions, irreligious or not, have their "ese"...Greyface, Pinks, Cabbages, "aneristic," these are Discordianese. Without them, there's no argot, no lingo, no connection between fellow Discordians...or as I call them, "rdians."
They must stay, I'm sorry to say.
Well, really, there are no rules, you can feel free to change the wording if you like, or if you want, completely re-write the principia discordia. It says so in it.
But Jenne observed, this is the discordian lingo.
Without it, it would get very confusing if everyone were using different terms for the same thing if all of us didn't know what the other's terms were.
So go ahead, think up new words for "greyface" and "cabbage". We might understand you, or we might not.
But just keep in mind, if you do manage to successfully change terms around within a certain branch of people, then alot of old discordian texts that aren't in PD could very well lose their meaning on the "next gen" of the discordians, if you somehow popularised these new terms for a next "official" version of the PD.

Now you see what I was talking about.
You know, it's entirely possible Ratzass here will figure out that he's wasting time acting like an ass, and get down to brass tacks.
What do you figure the odds of that are?
Problem with being the Welcome Wagon around here is that EVERY new guy has this attitude, and EVERY one thinks he's being unique. The smart ones learn, and the stupid eventually leave and start Myspace boards about what jackoffs we are here.

You see, once RBG and I tried, with the input of the board in general, to write users guides for noobs, so you wouldn't poop behind the furniture or otherwise make asses of yourselves, telling the same tired shit to people who have heard it all before.
But you never read them. None of you do.
So you get TGRR, Welcome Wagon Bastard. My job is to divert your stupid bullshit away from productive conversations, at least until you have some inkling of what has been said 10,000 times since 2002. Oh, and - if you're a TOTAL asshole - I drive you away with the help of a few others...and believe me, I am far more persistent than you are. It's almost creepy, kinda like OCD.
Now, this may all sound fascist or autocratic. Too fucking bad. You'll appreciate it if you figure shit out, because YOU won't have dumbfucks crawling all over your posts telling you what the Goddess told them, while you're discussing high asshattery with your friends. And if you DON'T figure shit out, then you're yesterday's fish, and we forget all about you.
I hope that clears things up.

And when you try to tell them, they take that as a threat to their chances of getting female primates (weird, but the brain is pretty much wired weird), and then they start hopping up and down and hooting.
I think there should be some sort of special programme for rehabilitation of self-taught proto-Discordians.

[Actaully, to clarify, I still *feel* that I am an idiot, but I'm pretty aware of this now, and want to learn to be a better asshatter.
I've got a lot to learn... and I'm learning alot fast by watching other idiots post like me.
So maybe this is some warped bessing in disguise.
Naw. There's a difference between "idiot" and "inexperience".
Inexperience (in this case) comes from being the weirdest guy in the room, who is suddenly placed into a room with a hundred people just as weird.
An idiot is the guy who thinks that the same tired jokes will continue to work.
Just about everyone who comes here starts out as an idiot, progresses to inexperience, and then becomes a full-out asshat.
Of course, there's a huge fucking downside.

There is. This is my month to administer it. Next month Cain can do it. Lazy bastard.
you think all discordians should behave like you? Ok if i was trying to be funny rather than trying to push a button I can see criticizing my old tired jokes that have been heard 10,005 times. But it wasn't a joke.

Yeah, your ability to clarify astounds me Rog.

1. Where did I say that? What I SAID was that - even here - there are protocols that we found we need...and, lemme tell you, the two years it took to establish that cost us about 40% of our user base, due to drama. Push things back towards the bad days of 2004/2005, and you'll find that you'll be ignored out of existence by EVERYONE. Now, obviously, you're going to take that warning as a
threat, because you've been conditioned to take ALL warnings as challenges to your gonads, even when this is pointed out. You can't help it.
2. So far, the buttons pushed are: bored, I've seen this a million times, and bored again. Congratulations. You must be some kind of memetic genius. Yawn.

I'm going to quit warning you now, and just stand back and watch the lulz fly when you get the smackdown on you...

Well, he passed 50 posts. The jackals will be all over him tomorrow.
I tried to do it the easy way, but he wasn't having it.
Well, good night.
Nobody can say I didn't try. If things are still fucked tomorrow, I guess we can start the festivities.
looking forward to it

When I want your opinion, I'll beat it out of you.
TGRR,
Getting used to the New America,Ñ¢.
I rather like what the writer for Achewood said:
"When I want your opinion I will cut out your brain and eat it and crap your opinion back into your skull."
Just to remind everyone, this started because Roger said he didn't like the PD. I'd hate to go bump the relevant threads but it was established by at least 2004 that liking the book is not required.
Y'see, because we've been operating under a special version of the Sinatra Doctrine since the Jihad and gone our own Ways. Hell, we've written our own books, or enough to fill up a few books. Its not just the PD anymore. You have the Book of Eris, the Apocrypha, the Summa, the Zenarchists Cookbook, the Metaclysmia, Wise Book of Baloney....ands thats without going into the different ways we've all researched and thought about and argued and debated. From Roger's radical liberty to Hugh and Verthaine's NeoPagan/Buddhist toned versions to LMNO's Erisianism (in the Illuminatus! sense) to the weird construct I have created out of Existentialism, Situationism and Systems Analysis....the PD just serves as a starting point. And given how much those books and ideas have advanced, perhaps only a very basic one. Not that thats bad.....the fall of a pebble is pretty basic and can still start a landslide. But it has to be seen in the correct context.
Plus, it was 40+ years ago. Geez, I mean, come on, chaos = change. Obsessing and fetishizing a book that old smacks of conservativism and.....well, most other religions frankly.
TGRR, I think what you may be referencing is sort of a "Big Fish/Little Pond" type thing.
In one's hometown, they'r eprobably the "Odd" one, the person who is the weirdest, who has strange ideas, the "freak".
Then they come here, start laying down their schtick, and suddenly realize that the place is filled with people who have already been there, done that, and have moved on. They feel threatened because they aren't precious snowflakes anymore.
By the way, "Hopping up and down and hooting" is genius.

:potd:
I come from a city of about 30,000 people with another 10 or so in the surrounding towns. Basically it's big enough to have a ghetto, yet small enough that we have no museums or entertainment beyond shitty bars. The type of "freaks" or "weird one's" this place produces is sickening. I wish they'd all take a field trip to a bigger city and see what diversity is.
Naturally the worst is the "we hate Bush and the war, but beyond that we don't know shit so we get doped up and vandalize private residences because it's edgy and so anti-establishment." I hate our local punk/skater contingent. ( this part was kinda off topic, but I really hate them.)

Yep. I'm just trying to minimize the "goddess told me" crap, and maximize the lulz.
Besides, this guy made an unauthorized Wu Tang joke.

1. Oh, yeah. I stopped making Dobbshead stickers for EGfaBT for a while, because 2 geniuses trashed a car and then
stickered it. Hey, thanks a lot, dumbshits! Now the next member they catch with a poicket full o' Dobbs is up shit creek.
2. Who doesn't? Most skaters are so tragically hip that I want to punch them inna face.

Helpful Hint: When trashing a government vehicle (not a POV, unless you know the victim) it is to be covered in Jesus fish and WWJD stickers.
