Of "Squee" and "Guh"

[gnomi]

or, More Mental Meanderings related to process

(top-of-the-head, pre-caffeinated mental wanderings ahead; you have been warned)

While the above subject line might lead one to think I was pondering the concept of feedback, in fact I am not. Though that might be a topic for another time (gnomi files under "to ponder later"). Today I am wondering about vocabulary and the words/phrases that:

(a) have been created by fandom for fandom (and I'm talking not just about online or fanfic fandoms here. "Fanac," "SMOF," and "Fanzine" apply under these criteria)

and/or

(b) are used cross-fandom (see the subject line for two such examples)

I'd love to hear examples. I'm a sucker for neologisms.

I thought "squick" originated with alt.sex.bondage.

This is the earliest sighting I know about for the term.
