Shift-A

Shift-A: Much like Z, shift-A has dual meaning. It originally started out as shortcut on Blazersedge that allows you to unmask all the comments in a post at once by pressing shift+A. It later became an insult in the same vein as Z in the same JD as Z originated in by blazersedge commentator HD. Shift-A is essentially a derivative of Z with the difference being that it refers to a whole JD or post as opposed to just one comment. It is also often used and said when someone comes late into a large JD and doesn't have the time to read through all of it.
Ex. (Saturday or Sunday JD that focuses mainly on that days football events)
Roybot's first comment of the day: Shift-A

Z

Z: Z or to Z is both an action and an insult. It is referring a shortcut on Blazersedge that allows you to unmask a comment by pressing the Z button. It is used as an insult by simply just posting the comment "Z" and nothing else. Z was originally used by Junk Drawer regular Magnum in the JD of 11/23/09 titled "Where's the Stamp for my Letter to Santa? Edition." In that JD Magnum proposes the idea of using Z as an insult with this explanation for his reasoning "basically, you’re saying that the comment was dumb and you skipped past it, but you want them to know it."
Ex. Cloudydays: I want to make sweet love to Buster Posey, who is a baseball player.
Roybot: Z

DYERTJD?

DYERTJD?- Short for "Do You Even Read The Junk Drawer?" is a phrase that is often used in an ironic sense to notify someone who just posted a link or topic that has already been discussed or linked in that junk drawer or a previous one. Technically it is an ad-hom and therefore against the Blazersedge conversational rules but because it is used in an ironic and joking way (instead of actually saying "do you even read the junk drawer?" you are referencing the joke of "do you even read the junk drawer?") it is allowed. The first documented appearance of DYERTJD? happened on 9/24/2009 in a junk drawer called "Long Live the Prez" by (at that time) junk drawer regular galaticlove , but the original phrase "do you even read the junk drawer?" had been commonly used in the junk draw for a while. The origins on the phrase are unclear( or at least unknown to the bedgewiki staff).
Deriv. you don't read the junk drawer?
Ex. EK: (random symbols linking to a funny picture)
(5 hours pass)
Another bedger posts the same link
first reply: DYERTJD?

Rosterbate

Rosterbate: To rosterbate is to make up various scenarios to improve the Blazers' roster. The term comes from a combination of roster and an action someone performs on themselves. Most often someone rosterbates over a trade proposal involving a "pure" point guard.

Ex.(circa 2007)
Bedger: WE NEED TO TRADE FOR MIKE CONLEY!!!
, cause he's Oden's best friend! So I made this trade it should work
(link to ESPN trademachine, trade involves travis outlaw for
conley)

real.baller

real.baller: A phrase made popular by the much talked about bedger fatty, it is often used to describe a player. The basis is that a real.baller (in fatty's own words) is "ballers really means guys who you can depend on.not for games 1-82,but from 83-100=title." If you would like to see an official list of fatty's real.ballers you can veiw it here. Now real.baller is mostly used by other bedgers in a sarcastic way.
Ex. Roy lost some weight this offseason and barely played basketball cause that is what real.ballers do.

Flag

Flag: A comment simply titled flag is a reference to a comment action you can perform called flag. To flag something is to mark it so that moderators or Dave/Ben can see that a post or comment has broken the rules of Blazers Edge. To just comment flag and not actually flag the comment is often saying that you personally do not like that comment but it has not broken any official rules(often meant in a playful way).
Ex. Check out this awesome picture of Kobe
Flag!

Zach

Zach: Saying Zach is a way of masking the cuss word you would normally put if bedge allowed it. Most often used to cover up F-bombs, Zach can also cover other bad words. The use of Zach in such a manner is a reference to former Blazer and all around crummy guy Zach Randolph. Because to be called Zach Randolph is just as bad as being cussed at(and some would argue worse). Zaching was originally used by bedger 92wastheyear as an answer to roybot's question "can we disquise cussing like that without it getting deleted?"in the 7/1 Junk Drawer titled: The Love Boat. Roybot was refering to the rules of Blazers Edge were you are not allowed to use cuss words. 92wastheyear then responded with "just use the word Zach instead." You can veiw the whole conversation in its entirerty here. Deriv. Zach you!, shut the Zach up!, Zach-hole and America Zach yeah!
Ex. Tom is such a Zach-hole(originally posted by 92wastheyear)
