WIP

Bias - A popular way of triggering a user, a bias is when someone likes/dislikes something to the point where they would treat it differently than normal.

  • Example:
    • HypotheticalHurricane: Dorian will hit Roy as a hurricane, sad!
    • Roy: HH PLS
  • Trivia:

Break chain - An act of breaking a chain of users with the same message. In the past, it was done to prevent UB3R-BOT, a bot in chat, from saying the same message after three consecutive messages were sent.

  • Example:
    • HypotheticalHurricane: sad
    • Roy: sad
    • Farm: sad
    • Cube: break chain
  • Trivia:
    • It is also called chain break and chain prevention.

C

Clone - A "clone" is an HHW user who acts noticeably similar to another HHW user, perhaps on purpose.

  • Example:
    • Mario: Keglie
    • StrawberryMaster: Mario, you make a great Gary clone.

D

Dead - Dead is an English word that is commonly used in chat. Some users tend to say this term mostly when a certain thing, (e.g. Discord chat) is inactive. Others tend to say the word in its literal meaning.

  • First usage:
    • First documented usage of dead in Discord is in the #administration channel, by Bobnekaro on May 17, 2016.
    • The word "dead" however, was used extensively in the wiki chat. Originally, it was posted as "silent chat", which became a 2015 HHW running gag, before becoming "dead chat".
  • Example:
    • StrawberryMaster: dead chat

December - A month which Bobnekaro has bias on. He wants to wishcast this month, and he wants storms to form this month, for one reason: It is his birth month. This is contrary to his bias against July.

  • First usage:
    • First used in late 2016 in Discord chat, it soon gained popularity over time.
  • Example:
    • Garfield: I made a December C1 form on your birthday.
    • Bobnekaro: yay

Denied - A word used to refuse to admit the truth or existence of. It's similar to "fake news" but in a direct denying matter. Most commonly used by MarioProtIV.

  • First usage:
    • Denied itself is first used back in 2016, and in early 2018, StrawberryMaster used the word a lot. It eventually died out and people used it again in mid-2018.
  • Example:
    • StrawberryMaster: Mario is sad.
    • Mario: denied

Downcast/Downcaster - Downcaster is a term for people who downcast. Downcasting is an act of deliberately wishing for a certain tropical cyclone to weaken, not form or dissipate.

  • Example:
    • Mario: Andrea will not form!
    • Hypercane: Mario pls, you downcaster.
  • Trivia:
    • In HHW, the downcasters can be separated into two groups: the ATLANTIC Downcaster and PACIFIC Downcaster. An Atlantic downcaster downcasts storms in the Atlantic basin while Pacific downcaster downcasts in Pacific basin.
    • Downcasting is usually not serious and mostly used for fun only.
    • The opposite of downcasting is wishcasting.

Doomcast(er) - A more extreme form of wishcasting. Doomcasting is when someone wishes for a tropical cyclone to impact land at a very powerful intensity.

  • Example:
    • Cooper: HWRF models show Chantal hitting Texas as a powerful C5
    • Bob: Sad doomcasters

E

F

Failicia - Failicia is a popular term on HHW, used to describe a weak tropical cyclone that failed to, or is failing to meet expectations. This is one of the oldest HHW terms, long predating the Discord server.

  • First usage:
  • Example:
    • Bobnekaro: Ugh, Debby is still a tropical storm.
    • Hypercane: What a failicia.

Fake news - Fake news is a common term whose literal meaning is "false information". The term is often used as a reply to a tease, which the person saying it thinks it is not true.

  • First usage:
    • The first mention of "fake news" in Discord chat was a series of nicknames with Money Hurricane, on June 10, 2017, following by a direct message by Hypercane on June 13 of the same year.
  • Example:
    • StrawberryMaster: Mario loves Nicole!
    • Mario: fake news

H

High on mints - A sarcastic and humorous way of saying someone is being crazy, as if they were high on mints.

  • First usage:
    • Back in September 2015, then-HHW bureaucrat Hurricane news said "Hey Cardozo i`m high on mints" in the Wikia chat. It was rediscovered in 2016 and has become a popular HHW term that is still used to this day.
  • Example:
    • StrawberryMaster: You're high on mints if you think that low will become Andrea

I

Inb4 - An internet meme which refers to a user posting a reply to a message/topic "before" another user posts an obvious response.

  • First usage:
    • First usage was on December 12, 2016 on Discord chat, by StrawberryMaster though it might have been used early on wikia chat.
  • Example:
    • Bobnekaro: inb4 Alberto is still a failicia.
    • Hypercane: Yes it is, sad

J

July - July is a month which triggers Bobnekaro. It is considered that Bobnekaro has a bias against this month because he believes a weak July is a normal July, but other users tease him by making a season with active July or directly saying that July is great.

  • Trivia:
    • It is contrary to the month of December, which Bobnekaro has also bias on.
  • First usage:
    • July was not a notable term until July 2016, when the month produced no tropical cyclones in the Atlantic basin. As a result, Bobnekaro developed the bias.
  • Examples:
    • Hypercane: A July C5 will hit NC, sad!
    • Bobnekaro: Hype pls.

K

Kden - Kden is a term commonly used by HHW users in the chat, as a reaction to something absurd, unusual and weird that another user sent out in the chat.

  • First usage:
    • The term was likely first used in 2015-2016 by some of the early users of the chat.
    • While the term was not created on HHW, it was brought by StrawberryMaster: in the early days of chat, he posted "k you DEN supporter", as a reference to a now-dead NationStates region. Soon after, it started being said as "k DEN", "k den", and lastly, "kden".
  • Trivia:
    • Literally means "okay then".
    • It was known as separate words "k den" before.
  • Example:
    • Prism55: Irma was a 15 mph subtropical low!
    • Bobnekaro: kden

Kek - Kek is an internet term used as a substitute for the term "lol", which has the same meaning.

  • Trivia:
    • Kek is used more than lol, with more than 60,000 times used in chat, with lol being 50,000 times used. However, in the administrative chat, Kek is used more a lot than lol, with almost 22,000 times, with lol being 10,000 times only.
    • Kek has evolved into other forms, with the same meaning, like keg, kekir and topkek.
  • First usage:
    • Kek could have been used very early, mostly in Wikia chat.
  • Examples:
    • Farm: kek I made a sad track
    • Mario: kek
    • Garfield: kek
    • THG: kek sad

L

L1G - L1G is an anonymous female that user Bobnekaro had an interest in until they stopped talking in summer 2017. Despite this, Bobnekaro and others frequently mention her on chat to this day. The name "L1G" is an abbreviation of "Level 1 Girl", referencing the fact that according to Bob, L1G ranked tropical cyclones based on "levels", rather than the usually used "categories".

  • First usage:
    • The first known mention of "L1G" in Discord chat was when Bobnekaro mentioned her, on January 13, 2017, although she may have been mentioned in a different form earlier.

  • Example:
    • Mario: Time to delet Akio.
    • Akio: Mario pls.

Rigged elections - "Rigged elections" is a term commonly used by HHW user StrawberryMaster (aka SM) in chat. It is part of one of his well-known catchphrases, "it's time for rigged elections". He usually simulates a hypothetical election between two or more users after saying that statement.

    • Chap: real news

S

Sad - "Sad" is a very common term in HHW. Contrary to its literal meaning, it is mostly used as a humorous way to depict or reply the person or thing with unfortunateness or dismay. It has spawned many variations, including "sade", "sadn't", and "sobble".
