Buffyverse: a term coined by fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel to refer to the shared fictional universe in which they are set.
- As you have probably already figured out, my grammar is not Pultzer Prize winning. I speak Buffy. This means I enjoy ending sentences with propositions, or adding an "r" to a word. For examples, look at previous blog entries, they are loaded with Buffy/Angel jargon.
Example from Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Buffy: "Whoever's out there, I'm going to hurt you! Badly! If you'll just give me a minute.
- My senior year in High School after I had surgery and was living on codine for 2 weeks, I wittled a vampire stake.
- I am in love with David Boreanaz.
- I love that Alexander Harris is nicknamed "Xander." Not the typical nickname, Alex. I love it so much that I am going to name either my dog or child this Whedonesque twist.
- I am not a night owl. I am a vampire.
- I tend to think aloud. I state a point, then I just run with it and verbally have a conversation with myself forgetting what the main point was.
Willow: It is kind of novel how he'll stay young and handsome forever, although you'll still get wrinkly and die... and oh, what about the children? I'll be quiet now.
- I like to frequently reply to any sentence with the phrase, "Five by Five" coined by character Faith, a frequent visitor to Sunnydale (Buffy setting) and Los Angeles (Angel setting.)
- The majority of my language comprises of sarcasm, witticism, and dry verbal communication. People sometimes question whether I have made a genuine comment, or if I am sarcastically conveying an underlying tone to the subject communicated by the given respondent.
Example from Buffy:
Buffy: We saved the world, I say we party.
- Additionally, the majority of my statements have pop culture undertones. I constantly quote movies or television programs. I like to say, "And in the morning, I'm making waffles"....and sometimes I really will make waffles, but sometimes I just say the phrase because it is my favorite line from Shrek
''Does anybody else feel like they've been Keyser Sozed?'' (reference to The Usual Suspects)
Definition: tricked into believing in a nonexistent villian by the real, actual villain
- If a person loves Twilight's Edward Cullen, then he or she has obviously never seen an episode of Buffy to learn that Angel is the hottest vampire...ever.
- Women can kick ass, have a life, and save the world.
