The Gabberish Lexicon
-- The Bard and Her Fans
- Bardbarella:
- Renee O'Connor as Gabrielle as Xena as played by Lucy
Lawless; usually in reference to The Greater
Good, but can also refer to any scene or episode in
which the Gab is uncharacteristically riled. Proper usage:
"Hey, was she doing a Bardbarella or what!"
- Danny:
- Gabberish for Princess Deianeira, the only woman in
pre-Hellenistic Greece to be romantically rejected by
Hercules.
- Gabaholics:
- An affectionate sobriquet for the most severely addicted
Gab & ROC fans. ROCahaolics Anonymous is a twelve step,
self-help group founded to assist those Gabaholics wishing
to overcome their addiction. To date, there has not only
been a 0% success rate, but 0 participation, as well.
- Gabbreviation:
- ROC, naturally.
- Gabdoration:
- Worship of the Bard of Poteidaia. The TAP Temple is
located within a too-small trailer on the outskirts of
Auckland, NZ.
- Gabgeek:
- A hopelessly square or unfashionable Gabfan, but also
one that takes great pride in finding themselves just
slightly out-of-step with current trends.
- Gabrielle of Poteidaia:
- A mighty storyteller, forged in the heat of
improvisation. Famous quote: "Never ask a warrior princess
to do the job of a traveling bard."

- Resisting the overwhelming urge to meet ROC in
person.

belong here.
- ROCanucks:
- Gabfans and ROCkers north of the U.S. border, but not
infringing on the territorial rights of Alaska. Also can
refer to the Official Hockey team of Clan MacGab.
