We all know about things like "baby bat" and "uber-goth" but what are some other goth phrases or words you use or have heard?

Gother-than-thou

ElderGoth

OhMyGoth, Gothsome

Gothtabulous, gothtastic

One of my very dear friends described me as the former and I used the latter to sell some things on ebay. They sold like hotcakes

Mansonite - someone who is only obsessed with Marilyn Manson and sports tacky makeup trying to look like him

Mall Goth

Peter Murphy Dance - some one who dances like him. you know that shoulder shake thing

Peter Murphy Dance - some one who dances like him. you know that shoulder shake thing Been there, done that!

Granny Goth

"Having your goth card revoked"- doing something that is "not goth" and joking that you can't be a goth anymore because of it. Have an iPod full of indie with only a sprinkling of Siouxie? Your goth card is hereby revoked. Have an orange cat rather than a black one? Revoked.

"Spot the goth"- I have a weird friend who plays this game; basically it's looking out for goths while you go about your daily business.

Frillybutt or Rufflebutt- a Lolita.

Goth Lyfe

There are loads of references in there for goth words.

Gothasol: a gothic Parasol.
tradgoth: traditional goth

These are great :-)

There is a couple in my area that is totally gother-than-thou.

KinderGoth.

A friend used to call me that too (even though I'm not a KinderGoth and had to explain to a dismayed Goth what she meant when she called me that in a group of Goths) because my feet are so tiny, so she said I was like a child...hence, KinderGoth.

Gothling

Gothlite

Somebody who doesnt actually mope in dark corners and look professionally miserable

There are a bunch of terms for saying a group of goths... I've heard "a Gaggle of Goths" and "a Gloom of Goths" before.

Gothlings is another term for young goths.

Also, using goth as a verb is something I adore doing. To "goth" is either to just act all mopey, or to do something that screams "way too goth"- like reading Poe by candlelight, wearing black velvet, glass of wine in hand, while Black Tape For a Blue Girl plays softly in the background. Not that that's a bad thing.

Well we spend so much time and money to look fabulous, why ruin it all? :-)

I think of a Babybat as someone who is in their pre-or early teens (12-14) and maybe likes some goth things but doesn't really understand what it's all about. They may or may not evolve into a true goth.

I think of a Gothling as a young goth (teens) who already does know what it's all about.

Thoughts?

^^I've always thought the same thing.

Not like I can say much, I am still a gothling.

I've always thought of young Vampire Goths as Babybats.
All other young Goths as Gothlings.

I do use the term Gothlings to refer to Babybats also.
