ISC Dictionary

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

A

• Angry sex with Josh - Styléan/Ruthsinan phrase related with Tonallán. The phrase's origins might've been unknown.

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.

D

• Drama - easiest description for an opinion fights, scandals and discussion wars. Sometimes also called as "mess" too.

F

• "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.

G

• 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.
• 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.

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.
• 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, the shekel sign (₪).
• HKJIADH - the most common shorting for Holy Kim Jong-Il's After Death Hangug.

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.
• ...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).

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.
• 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.
• JIHAD - an alternative name for HKJIADH because of all the letters being so hard to be written all together from the memory. Commonly used by Ova Anova.

K

• 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, but they still have a bit of a similar music taste, which was used as their excuse to every time Kosmallán exchanged the 12's.

L

• 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.
• 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.

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 - when a nation sends the same act around three times in a row or more. In ISCC this is titled as "do a Hadise", in jISC - "do a Robin" and in ISC -1 - "do a Sandra", thought the latter two hadn't any nation sending them at least more than once in a row. Lately OSC are adapting this as well - "do a Kendi".
• Men̈́sa will... - some of threads have a tag starting with "Men̈́sa will..." and imagine a lot of different endings to it, such as "...win", "...lose", "...Men̈́sa", etc.
• Mess - easiest description for a situation related to loopholes in rules made out by hosts.

N

• nnnnnnn - Israeli laughter. It is called like that because their letter "n" 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).
• NSC - ISC's "mother" contest. Sometimes they both are titled as "rival" contests to each other.
• 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 British 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.
• 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.

• OSC - Outernatia Song Contest, a contest for Outernatian nations only to compete. Recently a chance was made to let the ISC nations complete also.
• Ova Anvova - how Ova Anova was misspelled once, on jISC 11 scoreboards.

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.

P

• 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 feeling for the country. This is why different Waiting List punishment rules are now being investigated.
• Pot ... is the best - 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.

S

• Scorewhore - entry that was sent to ISC just for the sake of doing good without the country's owner liking the song at all.
• Slé - an ISC-adapted version of the word "slay". Means "defeat" in a sassy way.
• 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.

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.

V

• Valedonii - a portmanteau of V and Kaledonii. Only neccessary to use when describing Kaledonii in ISC 37.
• 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.
• 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.
