Survivor Glossary

Those of us who have been watching Survivor long enough are starting to come to common ground on certain terms. This is how Webster's does it, I assure you.

Fairplay - verb - To plan or take action with intent to deceive or obfuscate. Example: "I Fairplayed my roommate into buying me three rounds of beer by telling him my girlfriend broke up with me...she did, but it was three weeks ago!"

A Billy Moment - term/phrase - An event, occasion or action that results in widespread embarrassment or humiliation, particularly on a personal level. Example: "I had a Billy Moment this weekend at my wife's family reunion...I spent the whole day walking around with my pants unzipped. It was a bad day not to be wearing underwear."

Probst - verb - To initiate discussion topics with intent to create conflict or strife. Example: "My dad was Probsting me all night! Why can't you get a job? What's wrong with going back to school? When was the last time you went to the barber?"

Ozzipus Complex - noun - The positive libidinal feelings of a young or impressionable person toward Ozzy Luth and the hostile or jealous feelings toward Ozzy that may end up getting you voted off an island.

Tribal trollop - noun - A overly social Survivor player who attempts to improve his or her standing in the game by making overtures to multiple players and/or attempts to align with multiple factions.
