What is a batphone, farce, ect. ect. and more......

Anyone who can take some commonplace terms and list meanings would be the best scribe on the forums to date. (In my ever changing opinion.)

Heres a list that some will find funny, but it is completely accurate:

IN COMMS/ALLIANCE CHAT

I'm agressed = I'm going to die
He's agressed = He's going to die
CARRIER TACKLED (always in caps in alliance and intel)=noob carrier is going to die (only noobs get tackled in a carrier)

There's only 3 of them = there's a 40 man fleet waiting next door
It's just a drake = "it's bait"

ON FLEET OPS

warp to the out-gate = jump through the outgate
hold on the gate = jump half the fleet through the gate
hold your cloaks = align to a random direction
the primary is (whatever) = engage any target except (whatever)

ON RECRUITMENT

Yes we're a PvP corp = we're 100% industry and we expect you to protect us.
Yes we have nullsec experience = I flew through a wormhole once
Yes we'll be on comms = I installed teampeak once we're using version 2 right?
The monthly alliance membership fee is "X" = if I pay "X" I have exclusive ratting/mining rights in the best system AND all complexes in nullsec belong to me
We can build capitals = those take like about 6 hours right?
We can build supercaps = I bought a wyvern bpc now I need your alliance to give me all the other bpc's for free AND all the minerals for free, so I can sell you a wyvern for 30B. Oh and the wyvern is the best super, right?
