TITLE:SCENGLISH DICTIONARY (Abnormalia 5) PALETTE:0223 0558 0799 0a97 3 SCENGLISH DICTIONARY If you read Scenarium for the first time you have surely found various words you have never heard before. They belong to the innavative language used in this mag, you obviously can't think to survive happily without knowing them. For you and your culture, here is an handy and useful glossary, consult it whenever you don't understand something of Scenarium. It won't help much, but it's better than nothing. 315001: Short for 1500 Bytes article. Expression indicating a quite short article, not necessarily 1500.00 bytes long, generally written to 2fill1 a mag in a 2So-What?1 way. 3AGA SYNDROME1: A terrible illness appeared not too many years ago in the scene. It affects whoever has an Amiga of the first generation and wants to upgrade to an AGA machine. The disturb takes place when the subject is not able to afford the step and realizes that he is losing too many AGA-only scene productions. Read RAW 7 for a complete review on the disease, which is a particular shape of the more general "2UPGRADABLEUS DISEASIUM1". 3BEPPE1: The founder of 2Scenology1. He was a rat who lived in Macno house. Read Abnormalia 3.14 and 5 to know everything about him. You can buy also Beppe's gadjets from the 2Sceneretica1 markets. 3EASY INTRO SYNDROME1: A disease that can affect only coders. It takes place when a coder unexpectedly doesn't manage to finish an intro he considered very easy. He then falls into strong depressive states that could lead him to serious consequences (leave the scene, become an editor and so on). For a review article consult Propaganda 3. 3FILLER1: Filling space article. An article whose only purpose is to fill space in a diskmag. Typically a filler is a 1500 bytes, So-What? article whose average writing time is 5 minutes and utility for the community irrilevant. Cases of Filler Mags (Mags completely composed by fillers) are known even if more and more rare. Word invented by Mop/Essence. 3FILLOPHOBIA1: A mental disturb that is widely spreading among diskmags editors. It is the fear of writing or publishing fillers, it is caused by the apprehension of the eventual negative judgement of readers and reviewers and it leads the subject to strange behaviours. One of the most curious is to begin an article underlining that is a filler. 3GAWPER1: A scene writer able to give informations in a narrative and easy way which can be understood by simple sceners. Concept introduced and explained by RokDaZone in Abnormalia 5. 3GLANCER1: Whoever loads diskmags and does not read them. He is usually impressed by the design and the overall look and is supposed to be the main responsible for the presence of wonderful looking filler mags in the charts. Opposite: 2READER1. 3GRAZER1: The sceners who follow the 2shepards1, being easily influenceable and particularly sensitive to the 2sheep tendency1. The percentage of grazers in the scene is near to 100%, also a shepard can be a grazer. The definition of grazer has been introduced by Mop and it's related to the sheep tendency (concept defined by Macno) and the 2Lemmingitis1, disease discovered by Rokdazone. As you can notice there is much confusion about certain Scenglish words, as if everyone wanted to invent some. 3HELMET SYNDROME1: A disease which occurs only to diskmags editors. The contaminated subject wants to imitate Lord Helmet/Spaceballs and degenerates in various deliriums of onnipotence and onniscience. It often causes other related disturbs like 2Scenologite1 and 2Journalistite1. 3JOUNALISTITE1: A recently discovered illness which involves articles writers with tendencies to journalist style. The first and most known case was stricly related to an Helmet syndrome infection which degenerated into a severe Journalistite. 3LEMMINGITIS1: A very common disease particularly spread among sceners (incidence's percentage has been indicated as 95%, at least for light forms). It was discovered in 1994 by Rokdazone and it is thought to have social causes. It is the pathogenic form of the sheep tendency. 3MASTERS OF THE SCENE1: Someone has started to talk about them in a past issue of RAW, someone thinks that they don't exist. They are supposed to be the hidden powers behind the scene, the masters of the puppets who control the scene's dynamics. Information about their identity and their number (they might be just one) are missing, certainties about their existence are absent. 3PRIESTS OF THE SCENE1: The sceners who have the power and the possibility of changing the scene trends. Typically they are supposed to be diskmags main editors, but also 2V.I.S.1 whose opinion is always listened and whoever has the control of the scene media. They have nothing to do with the Master and they try to manipulate the scene for different and personal reasons. Their existence is sure, their power is to be discussed, the first professional Priests in the scene have been probably the editors of Zine, who have been able to raise discussions and polemics about particular scene matters. Other Priests have taken their place and are currently influencing us. The battle among them is savage and endless. 3SCENER1: Scene member. The ethymology of this word is obvious, the origins are quite clear. It appeared the first time in the article "Diskmags - Leaders of the scene" on Upstream 7. It's the only word that you can easily find also outside Scenarium's pages. The diffusion of all these other Scenglish neologisms is poorly failing. 3SCENERETICA1: The first and most important company of sceners production and trade. It has made a revolution in the conception of group members as we considered it before. It may sell and buy all kind of sceners with whatever degree of talent. It is also the first official sponsor of Scenarium. It never pays its fee, though. 3SCENGLISH1: The scene language. It comes from Scene and English, the official basic language used in the scene. As every slang, Scenglish has its own words and idioms which identify the sub-culture where it is used. Never use Scenglish in normal English discussions, you would give to some words meanings clear only to you. To know everything about Scenglish consult 42 issue 2. 3SCENOLOGITE1: A disease which may occurs only to scenologists. It takes place when the subject is too deeply dived in his studies and loses the sense of reality, thinking that 2Scenology1 is the solution to every answer, that Beppe is God and he himself is Jesus Christ. It's the Journalistite version for scenologists. 3SCENOLOGY1: The scene science. It studies the scene in all its various aspects, it requires scientific methods and language, it is studied by scenologists from all over the world. Its official journal is regularly published in Abnormalia 3SHEEP TENDENCY1: The tendency, particularly diffused in the scene, to follow blindly the mass without critic and rational mental disposition. Read RAW 7 for all the details. 3SHEPARD1: A scener who tries to influence the masses. The definition, introduced by Mop, identifies a kind of scener similar to the Priest of the Scene, even if probably less specific (A priest is a shepard but not all the shepards are priests). Synonym: 2SCENE-DEVELOPER1. 3SOCIAL-SCENOLOGY1: A Scenology stream founded by Rokdazone. It studies in particular the sociological aspects of the scene phenomena and it tends to relate closely all the scene dynamics to their cultural and social background. 3SO-WHAT? ARTICLE1: A pointless and useless article that leaves the reader with the usual final question: So what? That kind of text that seems without scopes and interest, that reflects typically a common and conventional opinion. Very diffused in old diskmags it is nowadays going to disappear for the explosion of scene-journalism articles. 3SPANDIMERDA1: Shit spreader. A Spandimerda is a person who talks shit about the others, but at the same time he may be a very self centred dude. To spandimerda means to spread shit, but a good spandimerda demo may also be meant as a well presented and advertised production. Read The Spandimerda corner in Ram Jam's Charts 12 to know everything about the word and the praticants.
