If you have coined a word or expression specific to the blogosphere (there’s one for a start), submit it to Samizdata’s Blog Glossary quick smart, and get your name up in lights. Or if you are a mere mortal, go there and check it out anyway.

There were a few there that were new to me and highly amusing:

“Barking moonbat (noun). Someone on the extreme edge of whatever their -ism happens to be.”

“Link orgy (expression). When a blogger finds that he has been linked by multiple sites, or has been added to several blogrolls, in a short time.”

…which is obviously a logical extension of:

“Link whore (noun). A blogger (qv) who will go to any lengths to get other bloggers to link to them (the term is usually intended to be humourous). Also: Link slut. Both terms are in fact non-gender specific.”
