*'''Madonna''' - an underrated ISC artist mainly famous in Caprika and known in the real world as one of the pop icons with having so many successful albums even when over 50 years. The Nekci Menij show made a character out of her named Medoner. Madonna is also used as a term like "do a Madonna" (see: Madonna, do a).

The other meaning of the fad, where the same artist gets sent more than enough times by the same nation, includes these famous examples of Anovese artist Margaret, Moskov's lands' favourite singer Alue Azhuo, HKJIADHian Alida and Spitzenbergen's national treasure Tiziano Ferro. And originally endorsed by the fact Spirevo sent Akiko Shikata 3 times.

Fortunately enough, people are trying to ensure this won't ever happen again by offering a solution - if you as the host can't collect all the points in the middle of the voting period, don't host at all.

For example, Kaministiquia took part in [[Internatia Song Contest 56|ISC 56]] with Alma's "Requiem" before it became the French ESC entry for 2017. Now Alunsina took part with Tulia's "Pali się" in two song contests outside ISC before it became the Polish ESC entry for 2019, so it's a matter of timing...

Revision as of 17:33, 17 November 2019

ISC dictionary is the dictionary where most memorable ISC related slangs, phrases, exclaims (on another occassion, people too) and not so memorable/unnecessary things are written in. Also some of these words might or might not have been used on Skype and other various chat places.

#

  • 23 - favorite Tjärsklanjskan number, also included in their broadcasting channel of IBU, Channel 23. Also referred as the "#sign".
  • 97 euros - ONLY 97 EUROS?!? Kimmy also was known to "bribe" WL players with 97 euros and tickets to Moulin Rouge to give Kimmystan 12 points as a whole list.
  • ;; - popular smiley in the forum, simply because if you need to laugh at certain post and reply to it, it's easy for you to type in those two semicolons and you were caught laughing so hard it's making you cry at the same time. People confessed they use this outside the forum, too.
  • (avocadolove) - a Skype smiley of friendship between Bitland and Bubblique. Depicted as two pieces of avocado so in love with each other that they become one.
  • #buyrainmakeronitunes - sort of a trending hashtag that was popular around the time Emmelie de Forest performed "Rainmaker" in Eurovision. The latter became Keohretcha's ISC 23 entry and even rose to the 2nd place, their first and last top 5 finish ever.
  • #BuyRunAwayOniTunes - New version of #buyrainmakeronitunes, highlighting the slogan of ISC 48, "Run Away". Alteus got generally upset when the actual "Run Away" song he wanted to see being sent wasn't sent to ISC by Bitland that edition...
  • #WinnerConfirmed - ISC 45 slogan. Described Kaliopi's chances of winning in Eurovision 2016 after so many signs combined in one, only turning out that the song in question is indeed not so great and even failed to qualify... (I don't hate it btw)
  • #WLexit - HKJIADH got very pissed at how their ISC 48 song was treated by people in Waiting List, so they kept talking about how Waiting List is bad, using the "WLexit" term (a portmanteau of WL and exit, in the style of Brexit). Spoiler alert: they won said edition.

A

  • Abolish pots - When Kosma qualifies or almost qualifies or doesn't qualify but gets a lot of IJ votes because all the people he trusted in voting his song was in different semi thanks to the pot draw.
  • Alida - The new Madonna in the way of oversentedness by one nation. In that case it's HKJIADH - once they find her newest release, they grab it instantly and send it right away. Now that HKJIADH is no more and Madonna was sent by Caprika once more, shall Madonna regain ther title?
  • Angry sex with Josh - Styléan/Ruthsinan phrase related with Tonallán. The phrase's origins are probably unknown.
  • Antiguan sensation - Au/Ra from Hanzyuki, their ISC 67 entrant. However, was revealed to come from not only there, but also USA, Germany, Spain and other countries she lived in. Moved this year and is nolonger affiliated with Antigua & Barbuda.
  • Aurora, to do an - Delay in presenting results due to doing something that prevents you from creating scoreboards, i.e. cleaning the floor. Rumoured to be done by other hosts before Aurora.
  • Avatar posting to answer the post above in a bitchy way - This originally has no term, but if one is not mistaken, it can mean "bitch please". When someone has nothing else to say but desperately wants to reply the post above they find self-joke-ish, and sometimes causes the other users to repost the avatars of the people who quoted their posts.

B

  • Baku time - Favorite time of ISCers. Sometimes used to confuse casuals, simply because it is slightly different time zone than CET is. It was used as the official timezone for ISC 62 hosting
  • biT, a - when you simply can't care less where you accidentally uppercase a letter - in front of a word or in the end. This case is the end
  • Big Dick - One of the forumers has it. Also a legit forumer username, but in all lowercases and both words go in one.
  • Brick - Certainly not an object to throw. While you think it definitely is, remember that this shows how much of Trešlend and Noxus owners are a couple in the ISC world.
  • "Bryon screwed me over" - How Josué sees his ISC 56 victory loss by 1 point to Kosma, their long-time ISC buddies (see Kosmallán). Not because of any other country not voting them, no - just because Bryon gave 8 points and not more like he was apparently supposed to Paulina Rubio's "Boys Will Be Boys".
  • bye/bai/bej - I'm not going anywhere. Also used when a country doesn't give points to another country or gets upset or simply responds in the same fashion.

C

  • "Chandelier" - a song sung by singer/songwriter Sia. Used by other countries for a couple of times as "their next entry", but that never happened as none of them have sent "Chandelier" to ISC before and never intend to. There were serious attempts to make it appear in ISC, but as mentioned before in this description, it has never happened. And it should never be sent.
  • Congr*country*!/Congr*username*! - a way of congratulating ISC countries for their qualification.

D

  • Dead ISC artists - somehow people in the world of ISC die eventhough they are alive in real world. Those who died in ISC world are Nolwenn Leroy and Lisa Gerrard, Oonagh and Laleh were rumoured to be dead but it seems that Laleh was kidnapped by Caprikans who in fact rescued her from Tonalláni slavery and resurrected her to use her later on. That was probably why they forget to vote in ISC sometimes, according to one source. Recently Oonagh has escaped this rumour since Oogust became a thing and no one batted an eye about Oonagh being sent again.
  • Drama - easiest description for an opinion fights, scandals and discussion wars. Sometimes described as "mess" too.
  • Dria Kiznr Show, da - ESC related web series started by Hannes. It follows the inspiration from The Nekci Menij Show as the characters were hand-drawn on the computer, the speech is often internet slangs/Hannes's own phrases used in the forum and always has subtitles of it hung above the character's heads, and has a storyline of certain female singers flopping in somewhere and their lives during that. Confirmed to be stopped because a new show was in consideration, and it was going to revolve around Rykka (Rekka in that show's universe) in the similar concept like the series before. Unfortunately there was never an episode of that. Officially no longer running because most of the original files were lost in the making.

E

  • Elhaida Dani - Leshian goddess. Her ISC 65 entry was hyped by them to no end, only to crash and burn afterwards by not qualifying from the semi.
  • Emily Dance - Best female graphics designer on the forum.
  • Emily is lesbon - People rumoured Emily Dance to be a lesbian.

F

  • Fake entry - Usually during reservations, one nation would post a fake entry (either something like Lebanese Eurovision 2005 discarded entry or something else) and a chain of fake entries would ensue after. Not a very popular fad anymore.
  • "Feathers" - Holy Kim Jong-Il's After Death Hangugian ISC 13 entry, specially known as the one that got disqualified after the nation didn't vote and in the end of semifinal results it was revealed out as it could've been the winner of the semi (and maybe the entire edition as well) if only HKJIADH did vote.
  • Ferida - the great queen of Liechtenstein which is actually Janko.
  • FML x2 - Irdminia 45. So iconic it didn't even qualify, yet still quoted when one FML for an event you screwed up is not just enough, so you need to multiply that and you get FML x2.
  • Flop bra - special kind of bra being won by an artist that places last in an ISC semi with least possible amount of points. Officially won by Yazminia in ISC 25. Originated in Da Dria Kiznr Show, to cover the fact Sofi Marinova wore no bra in ESC 2012.

G

  • Gianluca - Italian male feminist completely disgusted by male music. He confessed he likes Stig's Finland 2012 NF entry, Romania 2006, Cyprus 2005 and Finland 2015 entry (last one only because of sympatizing for the artists with various disorders and syndromes). Also a fan of Sailor Moon, calls everybody "butthurt", thinks that people "should vote for songs" but instead votes for only female songs, got in a fight with Ferida because of claiming out loud to stop voting for them because they whine about the results too much and also said that one quote to be found later in dictionary when cursed the Moldovan 2015 decision (though the guy comes from Ukraine, his favourite country). Due to being awful in an unique way, got banned from forum for life and continues out in Facebook and ESCUnited. Now lives in UK and loves men, but not singer men.
  • Gretchen - commonly worshipped Brazilian singer and tv-show star. Say anything bad about her in front of her Brazilian fan and he will likely cut your head off. Some forumers often post gifs of her, mostly related to something like sex...
  • Grolskira, do a - not vote for a song you have hyped before or during ISC edition the song is competing in. This became a phenomenon after Chruno didn't receive any points from Grolskira in ISC 20 semifinal 1, thus didn't qualify. This phenomenon is also used as Natalia Kills by Tonallán, and Natalia Kills is Chruno's ISC 20 representative. Also called #AuroraLogic by David.
  • Groslkira - one of many misspells of the name Grolskira. Alex does that nowadays.
  • Grosskira - one of the names Tonallán made to indicate the country is bad or their song is bad. A commonly used one is "Trashkveny", another examples are "Kaleboriing", "Lachrea", "Irdmehnia".
  • Golden Turd Award, the - unannual award that originated mainly in Kosmallán. It's used to crown the worst song of the final according to the opinion of Kosmallán.
  • GOTHY - a made up squad by Aurora consisting of her country Grolskira and their 4 neighbours. Since Harlequenia was replaced by Pen Island as a neighbour, Aurora thought long and hard how to make it sound better without the H and with the P. Abbreviation coined by Soupy. Since Pen Island replaced Harlequenia, Aurora looked for new ways to make the abbreviation happen. No longer in fashion since around 2014 or 2015, especially since Yazminia ceased to be active in ISC.

H

  • Hanzyuki, to pull a - place extra low in the final after having a great semi result. Named after Hanzyuki because they were the first ones to do so and weren't so happy about it. This also happens viceversa, often to Territrius who barely qualify and yet crack a position in Top 10. Officially nailed by Dulcet Ebullience 59 - first in the semi, last in the final.
  • Harlequenia Almost Daily - best selling and most popular newspaper of Harlequenia, informing eveyone of skaarse's participated contests and the results of them and top fashion picks by the Harlequenian king or something (not skaarse) among the topics. Stopped their publishing since like 2 months before skaarse ran away and was never heard of again.
  • Hashtag - number key's Twitter name. Sometimes hashtags are used very frequently in ISC space as well. One of the most popular hashtags used is "#worsthost". St Olaf has invented their own hashtag, which is the shekel sign (₪).
  • HKJIADH - the most common shorting for Holy Kim Jong-Il's After Death Hangug.
  • Homokissa - "gaycat" in Finnish. A kitten smiley taken from ATRL forum that's been transformed into various kind of popstars by ATRL users just for the sake of laughter (well, isn't it?). Officially one of the ESCForum smileys in 2016 (one has to type in :homokissa:).
  • honey - Pepe's common answer to lame jokes and other stuff. Variations include "henny" and "hunty". (Also the song title of Kimmystan's debut entry.)

I

  • "I like it slow" - a phrase uttered by Aurora. Actually being an answer to Pepe about ISC 31 results giving speed, it became commonly misunderstood for sexual actions for a couple of reasons. because Aurora was underraged at the time, and now she's 19. Shocking, right?
  • i love daniel - Swedish Sara is now professionally known like this in the forum because she never hides her true love for Daniel Kajmakoski.
  • Imam dečka Supermena hoću da mu budem muž nije Englez, nije stranac Supermen je moj Balkanac - that one epic ISC entry that is so epic, sometimes people still secretly quote its lyrics for its epicness.
  • ...is the new Marina - When an ISC act is oversent so many times it's even reaching out longer than the times Marina & the Diamonds have participated in ISC (thus far, 4 times ever). The phrase should now be "...is the new Susanne" because Susanne Sundfør is officially the most sent artist to ISC according to some statistics, though she's more seen on the Nightwish and Mylène Farmer level of oversentedness.
  • "I will never play ISC again" - Josué often expresses anger whenever he fails to qualify similarly to this statement (of course he might have not said the exact words). Is usually still seen participating because of the fact he's driven by determination to win ISC once more to host before he's ever unable to do so.
  • I wish you sex - Polish 2016 entrant said that after or before wishing happy birthday to his sister Malena, dressed up like a slut and making those creepy dance moves. I also thought that was a girl until I realized it's him... D:

J

  • Janko's dildo gif - Once during ISC 19 semifinal results show, Janko used a gif where a black guy in a wig is seen stirring something that looks like dildo in a strange liquid and presumably licks it after, while another guy from behind watches it. This gif was offensive and its massive usage in ISC 20 semifinal results show was edited out.
  • Javid - How one describes the extreme fondness of Jack of Tashkveny and David of Eriod.
  • Jeremy, to pull a - to "run" away with something certain ISC related, such as semifinals, final or results. The first time this happened was registered at ISC 10, when a user named Jeremy had to host ISC 10 after winning ISC 8. It went on well until everyone started missing his presence around the forum. During the time Jeremy was gone, he was exposed as a Cuban named Julio and didn't look like himself in the pictures. With no one to reveal the final results, Lost Islands came to rescue by asking everyone to resend their votes to Lost Islands. Lost Islands successfully announced all the results halfway during the ISC 12 reservation period month. Novatlantida won. Jeremy reappeared under his old self one more time during 2014 but still hasn't revealed anything related to the results until 2015 March, when a person nicked Karhu was seen around the forum and after joining ISC's Waiting List revealed himself as the one who was Jeremy all the time. He revealed both Semifinal results and Final results forwarded to him during ISC 10. Novatlantida still would've won and a few minor place changes would've occured in comparement to Lost Islands's results, and now it is the official ISC 10 results (take THAT, ISC 57 fiasco!). Nowadays Karhu doesn't run away with anything anymore.
  • JIHAD - an alternative name for HKJIADH because of all the letters being so hard to be written all together from the memory. Used by Ova Anova only several times.
  • Joke entry - a typical entry of HKJIADH.
  • Jonny - The Negative Man's from EarthBound ATRL name. Once it was registered as a smiley (one has to write :jonny:), many forum people started using it and abusing it. Now has a counterpart that only appears from the back, and it also has a smiley as well (one has to write :ynnoj:).
  • Julio - The true name of "Jeremy". He got exposed during the real ISC 10. Some Philippinese non-ISCer named aja claimed he knew of Julio and the "fake picture" gate.

K

  • Kosma, do a - so you say the deadline is somehow strict and you won't allow any votes past it, but you allow them anyway. And that ends up harming the current winner that happened before late votes were accepted and that "winner" gets to know about it (or not, it is not a must that he/she would know) and gets angry that he/she didn't win, and would mostly have won had the late votes not been accepted. That in a nutshell was the ISC 59 situation.
  • Kosmallán - a portmanteau of Kosma and Tonallán. In early ISC days, these two nations were mostly known for exchanging 12 points with each other in a lot of editions in a row. A couple of exceptions happened as well, such as in ISC 13 when Tonallán gave only 10 points to Kosma in the final, causing them losing their first victory over Tikata. Nowadays Kosmallán do not exchange 12 points that much, in fact, their tastes started to drift apart heavily, but they don't forget each other's songs and give each other at least some points in the final.

L

  • Lady Fate - Ex-ISC member widely known for his horrendous taste in music. Is a huge fan of Anmary, bubblegum/cheesy pop and Lithuanian pop group YVA (and often asks for their reunion). Annoys people because always puts high placed and great Eurovision songs in the bottom and cheesier/chansonier/whatever songs on top instead. Has changed nicks ever since then (now Lucky Dragon) but still kinda known as Lady Fate.
  • Laleh - someone from the dead nation San Monique. Originally representing San Monique in ISCC with her song, "Colors", she's been oftenly used as a joke target by Chruno just to falsely announce her as the fake entrant of theirs, mostly with "Colors". Tonalláni rumours said she's been dead or sent to an insane asylum. As a 'joke', Laleh ended up being sent by Chruno to ISC anyway.
  • Lesbon - a "misspell" of "lesbian", originating from the Nekci Menij Show. Now in forum it sometimes replaces the original "lesbian" word. Used in The Nekci Menij Show as their way of saying Lisbon as well, months and months after the forumers used it as the meaning of Lisbon themselves.
  • Let's open a poll - whenever there's a messy situation it gets out of control and with so much drama, a poll is opted to be opened in order to decide on that particular rule to be added or rejected by poll votes. Greatly decided the things like Gianluca's ISC eviction question (but he eventually got banned, thus quitting ISC altogether regardless) and the fact that ISC 57 results should stay as they are and not have additional 4 votesets added to them which were sent to Remy, disregarding the fact the host of the edition himself was for the addition of them. Why Brent hasn't said anything about it yet anyway?
  • Lollobrigida - 1) Italian actress. 2) Croatian band that represented Tjärsklanjska in ISC 23. 3) Tonalláni phrase expressing laughter.

M

  • MAD ABOUT PARFUMS - a phrase taken from non-ISCer's ZELJO's signature. It was widely modified by the other ISC people, most times adding a lot of commas in the end, as apparently it is the way ZELJO tries to end the sentence instead of adding a dot. Though, comma in ZELJO's case replaces an apostrophe. It is also the slogan of ISC 43.
  • Madonna - an underrated ISC artist mainly famous in Caprika and known in the real world as one of the pop icons with having so many successful albums even when over 50 years. The Nekci Menij show made a character out of her named Medoner. Madonna is also used as a term like "do a Madonna" (see: Madonna, do a).
  • Madonna, do a - an old kind of fad when a nation keeps on sending the same act around three times in a row or more. In ISCC this was titled as "do a Hadise". The other contests kept adapting this but without the help of only one nation: "do a Robin" (jISC), "do a Sandra" (ISC -1) and "do a Kendi" (OSC). The other meaning of the fad, where the same artist gets sent more than enough times by the same nation, includes these famous examples of Anovese artist Margaret, Moskov's lands' favourite singer Alue Azhuo, HKJIADHian Alida and Spitzenbergen's national treasure Tiziano Ferro. And originally endorsed by the fact Spirevo sent Akiko Shikata 3 times.
  • Manjola boner - bURN's way of describing something completely amazing. Originated from him supposedly having a boner from Manjola Nallbani, an Albanian singer (and queen). bURN awarder his Manjola boner award to Kosma on the ISC 75 final, together with EdvinOla's 12 points.
  • Marzia Gaggioli - Monteverdian queen who has many hobbies including singing, filming and performing classical pieces. She is also multilingual thanks to her translator friends. Represented Monteverde and Dulcet Ebullience before, both efforts ended with bad luck.

  • Mess - easiest description for a situation related to loopholes in rules made out by hosts.
  • Miwwo miwwo on the wall - Jeffreeh doesn't find any other way how to sing Sammarinese 2015 jESC entry
  • Muse - some band from United Kingdom irl. Grolskiric people made them gods after Symphony Isles fell apart, simply because of the Symphony Isles 19 entry. Aurora is always generally upset when no one sends Muse to ISC.

N

  • Nancy - Aurora's new name due to her current nick being NancyAura. Aurora claims it comes from the song called "Nancy Boy"
  • Nekci Menij Show, the - the most favorite show of Irdminian people and few other nations'. The show parodies many female celebrities with them speaking in incorrectly written English language (sometimes SMS language as well), has "celebs" speaking in various different accents and computer-generated voices and often is based on the topics of flopping in musical charts and musical industry and something similar. It is based on Dolan Duck show, a very well known meme show. A few main characters of Nekci Menij show are also based on Dolan's looks. No longer running since the Christmas Advent special A new episode after several years of absence premiered and it mainly focused on Bayonse's (Beyoncé's) new album and on what the flop bitches are doing nowadays, which unfortunately lacked the fact Medoner (Madonna) has gathered several girls of the cast in one of her single's off her latest album's music video. (Hint: not MDNE (MDNA). That went old.)
  • Newsflash - a common Hanzyukan phrase to exclaim the obvious.
  • Nicolara - a forum couple, made of the owners of Territrius and Bubblique. They currently live together and are a fantastic royal family.
  • nnnnnnn - Israeli laughter. It is called like that because their letter "n" (ח) is a sound for "ha", which means it simply translates as "hahahahahahaha". The "n" usage may vary from around 3 n's (nnn) to a large amount (nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn).
  • Nolwenn Leroy - an ISC entrant which originated from Grolskira and took part in ISC twice before her unfortunate "death" as announced by Tjärsklanjska. She's probably the first known ISC artist who died in Internatia. Another one is Lisa Gerrard, officially murdered in Tonallán.
  • NSC - ISC's "mother" contest. Sometimes they both are titled as "rival" contests to each other. Nothing beats the fact JSC (Jolly Song Contest) is the earliest contest where Eurovision fans made up imaginary countries which could send anything they want! The catch was that they could send ESC NF songs as well but they got forbidden sometime later anyway.
  • NuxchoBG - Currently known as Connie (and maybe tried to inspire a #mynameisconnie movement too), for some reason. He grew up to spread his awkward attitude regards a lot of things, particularly the ISC/OSC community, which he regrets. Used to worry about OSC's well-being, likes every kind of music, especially Pot 1-like nowadays. Is on his quest to delete every ESCforum post he's ever written. Joke's on you though - Wiki history contains this entry as well, so it will always be backed up no matter how hard you try to remove it. >:)

O

  • Oonagh - an artist rumoured to be dead in the ISC-lore. Officially revided by Bubblique and is being used by them to represent them every August since she won, therefore coining the term...
  • Oogust - Bubblique's requirement to send their winning artist every specific month since their victory, in this particular case - Oonagh in August. Used to be called Laïstober since Laïs won for them one October edition (in 2014). Sara is aware of this term so I better stop saying anything before she crushes it~
  • Oreo - 1) A snack consisting of two dark brown round biscuits and cream layer between them both. 2) Kimmy kept calling Aurora "Oreo", deriving it from "Orore".
  • Orore - Aurora is never Aurora because of the fact she had too many nickname changes.
  • OSC - Outernatia Song Contest, a contest for Outernatian and several Internatian nations to compete.
  • Ova Anvova - how Ova Anova was misspelled once, on jISC 11 scoreboards. Made fun of during the rest of the show onwards.

P

  • Peenpics - (alternatively called dickpicks) pictures of your own male genitalia. Some say it's a way of getting attention or even points.
  • Pen Island - What the hell are you thinking this island is about? It's clearly about pens!!
  • Polland - an Outernatian nation known for originally wanting to be called Poland but ISC people refused to allow it for a simple reason - ISC nation name must be imaginary. Also known for not voting in ISC 36 final and therefore being moved down 16 (now actually corrected to 13) places and everyone being sad and kinda disgusted about it. This is why the Waiting List has different punishment rules from now on.
  • Pokémon - one of the most favourite ISC people game if not the most favorite. Guilep is the only one known to dislike it.
  • Pot ___ is the best pot - the way that people from every pot saying that the pot they are in is the best. The sentence may vary even in a 100% way, but people in ISC still call their pots the best.
  • Problem? - Whenever someone disobeys the 'invisible' law and when asked to explain as to why, they just tell out loud they did disobey the law and asks passively-aggressively if there's any problem with that. Mind you, there are lots...

Q

  • "Quand Tout S'enfuit" - constantly intended to be sent by Tonallán song that is violating ISC rules a little bit since people can't send ESC related songs to ISC. However, the main point why this was considered, was that it has never participated in ESC but is widely known as the withdrawn Lebanese entry which they intended to send to ESC 2005. Recently commonly used by Sunetti, to the point it became Tonallán's ISC 56 postcard song (thanks to Monteverde suggesting it).

R

  • Recap voting - One of the most dangerous ISC crimes to do, even if not written in the rules, but people are feeling better about you if you listen to the songs in full and then vote. Once was (lowkey?) discussed about because there were more people who did not listen to the songs when voting in contests. Another crime is to not listen to songs all the way through besides recap and vote, which was abused by Baabutia and they have since quit OSC and yet another crime is to not listen to most unlistened-to songs at all and vote, which was abused by Nickymania so much so that they were banned from OSC AND ISC for an undetermined amount of time. It was until the OSC mods lifted Nickymania's ban after they sacked their HoD responsible for their voting scandals.
  • relaxing - a word often associated with Nicky. (Yes, he has his country too, and this word made it a bit into ISC, what now?)
  • Remy, to pull a - This is why you have to sort out your holidays plans for them to not match with any of the ISC hosting deadlines, otherwise, even if you appointed someone else to collect the votes for you in the middle of the voting period, some people would still accidentally send their votes to you, the real host, thus creating conflicts and dramas all over the place whether those votes you received should be accepted or not, which can only be sorted out with a poll where the majority tries to express the way they think about it with voting. Fortunately enough, people are trying to ensure this won't ever happen again by offering a solution - if you as the host can't collect all the points in the middle of the voting period, don't host at all.
  • reported,,,,,, - Once Rick made no sense to ZELJO
  • Requiem, to pull a - To send an entry in any song contest before it's selected as an ESC entry. For example, Kaministiquia took part in ISC 56 with Alma's "Requiem" before it became the French ESC entry for 2017. Amsteris almost considered sending Polish 2014 entry at one point.
  • Resluts - funny mistype of the word "results". If you like resluts more than results, you're being naughty tbh
  • Rui - Portuguese forum member. He was never in ISC, yet still iconic for dozens of reminders to vote in FSC, his Trebuchet MS font usage and sometimes loving to bold and italic to make his context clear. Also commonly ends his posts with ellipsis and a smiley, sometimes even more than 1 smiley.
  • Runawa Yoni tunes - #BuyRunAwayOniTunes, but misinterpret by strajker.
  • Rykka - Swiss Eurovision 2016 entrant, often regarded as the "queen". She's so common, Karhu made an edited Jonny smiley (added Rykka's face on it) and is the symbol of exercising mainly because she squatted too much on Eurovision stage. Eventhough an epic Eurovision fail (last in semi), her other songs are pretty great and would've possibly do much better in Eurovision if she sang better live despite herself being a vocal coach

S

  • Sand artist - a person who draws on a special type of sand during performances. Ukrainian sand artist Kseniya Simonova is probably the reason it was introduced ever in Da Dria Kiznr Show.
  • Scorewhore - entry that was sent to ISC just for the sake of doing good without the country's owner liking the song at all. Nowadays it's also that kind of song you love but did well in another contest and you're sending it to ISC for the sake of doing as well as it did too. Or sometimes you just have no idea what to send and it so happens you remember a song that can definitely do well just because of a name, and no matter how will you defend it, no one will help you out, m8. (I still think "pointwhore" is a better term btw)
  • SEAL - 1) A singer. 2) A type of pinniped. 3) A snappy abbreviation of Saint Eva & Lepland.
  • Shame cube - a place to hide after failing to qualify. Originated from Bitland 67 entry before it was sent.
  • Slé - an ISC-adapted version of the word "slay". Means "defeat" in a sassy way. No longer in vocabulary fashion since around 2015.
  • Snapchat - one of the most popular apps. Known for constant exchanging male genitalia pictures (also known as snaps), but people using Snapchat once denied this happening. Who knows. Apparently Snapchat pictures last from 1 to 10 seconds for recipient to see. You can add fancy texts to the "snaps" (and now you can add face filters on yourself!), too.
  • Spirevo, to do a - decline hosting as the winner of the previous contest and give the job to someone else. After that there's a huge debate ongoing usually whether host and winner should prequality together or either one of them.
  • Sunetti XX - Any other song Alex posts when claiming it's gonna be the next Sunetti entry. It usually happens he doesn't get to send it anyway. Originally not originated from Sunetti (see Fake entry). Is now a thing for Sunetti to have it as their own NF-esque project ever since ISC 66.
  • Susanne Sundfør - some artist that Dulcet Ebullience was planning to kill by using their rumour mill simply because she was already oversent to ISC so many times, and Grolskira doing that to ISC 59 just triggered the action almost nearly.

T

  • Tashkveny, doing a - country not qualifying due to the point adding up mistake or another kind of shenanigan. The first time this happened was in ISC 17, when an unfortunate mistake happened to Tashkveny - Spirevo gave 12 points to themselves instead of Tashkveny as shown in the scoresheet. This was spotted months after the contest.
  • Terriblique - screw you, Bubblitrius isn't terrible!
  • "This song is foul, nasty, unpleasant, bad, disagreeable, horrid, horrible, dreadful, abominable, atrocious, offensive, obnoxious, odious, unsavory, repulsive, disgusting, distasteful, loathsome, hateful, nauseating, sickening, disgraceful, appalling, shocking, sorry, shabby, shameful, dishonorable, execrable, heinous, abhorrent, deplorable, monstrous, wicked, evil, iniquitous, nefarious, depraved, debased, contemptible, despicable, reprehensible, gross, godawful, lowdown, lousy, scurvy." - When Gianluca can't find a specific bad word to describe a certain male song, he pulls out a bunch of synonyms of "bad" so that he could come across the point. Written to describe the Moldovan ESC 2015 entry.

V

  • Valdron tsunami - a nature event that commonly happens or happened in Valdron so many times ISC community usually expect a tsunami only to happen in Valdron these days. No longer heard of. Valdron received a P-Nobel Prize from Percheron in 2017 for the discovery of a new anti-tsunami system.
  • Veronika - NSC people claim that Veronika is Aurora's disguise in the forum NSC is hosted in.
  • Voting bias - the only valid way to describe Sanlyonan ISC voting. Mainly suspicious because of Gianluca giving points for those countries, which sent a female vocalist/female singer/something female to a particular edition and his friends. While Gianluca himself claims all the time that he votes for songs, it's barely believable anymore because of him giving top points to Kosmallán in the past (10 to Kosma, 12 to Tonallán; now it's not happening because of Gianluca being suspected of voting bias) and openly declaring at one point he decided to stop voting Chruno because of specific reasons (see: Grolskira, do a).

W

  • Waiting list, the - a list where new nations sign up to ISC in order to play. They also have to vote every final in order to not get dropped down from the list. Nowadays very hated by a couple of users because of bad taste and the joining level of everyone only to "create voting blocks", the latter which was more discussed on because a restriction needed to be applied to it thanks to a small surge of people who only joined the forum for ISC and have a really small amount of posts and eventually denied to be done because the option against applying a restriction won (though that doesn't stop people from opting for a new poll to be made where only ISC members can vote in).
  • "Wanna know which part of my muscular body cares about your opponion dear?" - the best argument to counter them all. Use it whenever you totally disagree with an opinion in general and you're off scott-free. Written by ZELJO to lucas because ZELJO suspected his lovely home country, Spain, was 'bashed' again...
  • "What does *an acronym* mean? :confused:" - Gianluca asks this because he has never been pleased with acronyms existing in his entire life.
  • Whatsapp - imagine regular calling/texting to your mom/dad/friends/gf/bf/whoever ever, but this time without using telephone numbers. That kind of in a nutshell is Whatsapp.
  • "With that song?" - when people get shocked at the winning song/prediction being specified for one country. And the song title of Sunetti 51 but without the question mark.
  • Worst host - a term to describe almost every host for misbehaving the promised plan like missing out to post something related with ISC semis/finals/results on time or simply because of the person who hosts. For Tonallán, this term means that the host did a good job. A host not told that from Tonallán is really a bad host.

Y

  • yah Aditya for the win! - Another forum member couldn't get Edyta Górniak's name right.
  • "You know what, fuck you (too ^_^)" - a spin of a phrase once made by Lonter and that appeared on Aurora's signature. Since Aurora made that spin of the phrase, she removed said unvariation from her signature to make space for her Eurovision 2018 support list while Josué find his way to profit off it and put the spin on his signature.
