WGOM Fingerprint Words

After seeing that fingerprint word article, it got me curious about the fingerprint words of the Citizens here. The long list below is not quite that, but it is close. What follows are the five most used words for each Citizen after removing the 250 most common words of the site. Due to the simple word extraction I used, contractions lose their apostrophe. That means "wouldn't" will show up as "wouldn".

  1. If you don't want to click through each of the 68 spoilers to find yourself, here's a list.

  2. About half of these are absolute gems and couldn't be more perfect. Some of them make me sad because they are referencing players who haven't been in Minnesota for years.

      FTFY

        1. I wonder if Stick will return come NBA season. Though really just need content that can be linked to on other sites to get fresh blood.

      1. No and yes respectively. Oh, one other thing I just remembered: words had to be at least four letters long to count.

        Top 250 words SelectShow
        1. A website of mostly guys talking sports about mostly terrible teams and of the top 250 common words used and the 340 fingerprint words, only one is an expletive (cheaptoy!)? That's remarkable in its own right.

            1. After a playoff game a few years ago (playoffs? that had to have been a while ago), we all agreed to tone it down a bit, and for the most part, that's stuck. I would have been pretty surprised if any expletives made it into the top 250.

              1. Remember, beer was 258th. Any expletive has beer to beat out that and it's beer not happening beer at all beer beer.

                  1. There's a good chance of that, although a lot of the "hell"s probably also come from me getting auto-corrected when I use an i-whathaveyou. As in, "ah hell, stupid auto-correct."

                  1. But wasn't that at the old basement? I was referring to here. *waves hand in a circle*

                    (But man, that particular game log was something else, eh?)

            2. word rank times used
              f-word 2819 125
              s-word 1052 400
              d-word 526 824
              b-word 3093 110
              redacted 1710 230
              cheaptoy's word 361 1186
                1. Assuming it is composed of the first two words in the table, it has never been uttered in this basement.

      1. I remember my first year on facebook, there was a thing that would put together your most-used words during the year. That year:
        1. Ha
        2. Tonka
        #1 was exactly twice as common as #2.

  3. Went through the list, got 12 of them (brianS, myself, Dread Pirate, meat, NBB, Carter Hayes, SBG, Jeff A, Spookymilk, DanekasGhost, FreeAlonzo, and RhubarbRunner).

    The only reason I didn't get DK was that I wasn't thinking of one of the words as a band name. A number of them were obvious after the fact.

    This is completely awesome.

  4. I know what it's like
    To be passed over
    To go unnoticed
    To be clumsy get things wrong
    And I know what it's like
    To arrive too late
    To be told to leave
    To be walked upon

      1. I got mine thanks to the other four words. Did not realize I use "hate" so much since I thought I didn't like that word. It's so hyperbolic.

  5. sean - I enjoyed this. During the next caucus, I'm buying you a beer. A look at my past usage suggests that I correct or further explain myself a lot.

  6. Sean,
    This is great.
    Next step to really make things "fingerprints" is to get to which words are truly characteristic of individual's "speech".
    "Kids" is in ten top fives. "Beer" in six.
    These in four: anyway, average, gardy, house, okay, points, songs, white, williams

    1. "Sort" and "Listen" for me.

      I don't really think that I use the word "sort" that often. I'm trying to think of where I might have said it a whole bunch of times.

        1. Possible. In a previous edition Mags' had tr and td at the top because of creating tables. I stripped out HTML after that and added minimum word lengths to combat that.

    2. Of those I consider "regulars" here, DavidWatts has the most unique list with only one word shared and with only one person.

      How regular is yickit? He only shares one word with two people

      'Spoiler' SelectShow

      Among the most regular regulars...
      Pepper and Dread Pirate share one word with one and another with two
      Freealonzo and JeffA share one word with three others.

      'Spoiler' SelectShow

      Using my simple scoring method, brianS has the most repeated words (I'm second).
      bS shares each of his words with at least one person, and has the top two and one of those tied for third.

    1. I'm a bit late to the party as well. I'm a little bit surprised that chop is in the list. I must spend a lot of time talking up the good Dr. The other four are words I use almost every day.
