While the Language is mostly Canadian English as with any other group of people that spend far too much time together a shorthand starts to form.

Baboom

Most often used during Grant Lawrence Live to indicate a well placed good humoured put down. The term is thought to have originated with Nardwuar The Human Serviette.

Contrats

Originally a miss type of Congrats during the Wrath of Khanna, contrats has gone on to become the way to congratulate other blog commenter's for winning a contest or any other good news they may have shared.

Cummy

During the 2011 Bucky Awards (comment 788) Lee "mcfflyer" Hower was commenting on how unwell Jenn Grant had been the previous Saturday, but he managed to leave the "R" out of Crummy giving the blog community a new word.

Good Lick

On the last day of Vish Khannas penultimate week, soon after he announced his departure from Radio3 Old Abe wished him "Good lick in your new adventures. You will be missed." comment 132

Hi-o

Used by Craig Norris during the R3:30 primarily when something that has been said could be seen as a double entendre but he also used the term in honour of Ed McMahon who could be heard using it during his time as Johnny Carsons sidekick on The Tonight Show.

The Panda Song

(as performed by Vish Khanna during his show on Tuesday 21st June 2011)
