Some of members of Redbrick work in Google and they slipped in an ad to Google's ads: [http://thedeadone.net/?p=194 Redbrick has an Army?] In February 2009, 21 members and associates of Redbrick travelled to Finland. It was noted by a few of the group that there were, in fact, a high number of soldiers in gear compared to Ireland. At the airport in Tampere, Redbrick members were treated to two F18 fighter jets taking off. Finland surely does have an army. | ||

=RESIIIIIIIII...GN= | |||
===Origin=== | |||
When [[User:robby|robby]] was elected chair of RedBrick at the 2008 AGM, certain elected rootholders at the time began drunkenly hassling him in [[Fibbers]]. Legend has it that the cry "RESIIIIIGN" was said to have been uttered by [[User:lil_cain|lil_cain]]. It is now shouted at committee members when they do something wrong, or in an attempt to demotivate them. | |||

=Grand= | |||
===Origin=== | |||
Particularly associated with [[User:lithium|lithium]] and [[User:hauk|hauk]], "grand" is a complex adjective that can be used to express any level of casual assent from "good" or "ok" to "sure, why not?". | |||
Frequently seen in #lobby, grand is most often used in conjunction with grand activities such as growing chilies or homebrewing, but can be adapted to banally express approval of almost anything. Statistics indicate that by the year 2013, the ever-increasing usage of "grand" will eliminate the need for all other mildly positive adjectives. | |||

=Failchair= | |||
===Origin=== | |||
Failchair is a light-hearted mock term for a DCU society committee's chairperson. | |||
From the Games Soc wiki - "The term "failchair" came about in 2008 or so as part of a Redbrick/Games Soc in-joke, whereby the word "fail" is attached to the front of all or part of a committee title. The term is used almost exclusively in jest, and rarely implies actual failure on the part of the committee member in question." | |||
