Spoiler: the terms

Banana for scale

Spoiler: B4S

Black twitter dump
A gigantic album, containing screenshots of twitter posts made by assumingly black people. Just google it, you can't describe it in words. You need to experience it yourself.

Cake day

Spoiler: the terms

It's your account's birthday! Post something you made in an album or so. People will upvote it simply becaus eof the cake day.

Cat Tax
Often you will find a picture of a cat at the end of an album. That's is called cat tax. It's somewhat of a currency to imgurians. You don't have to pay cat tax, it can be a dog or some other pet that you or one of your friends own.

Continuous addition
User 1 writes the first line of a song in a comment, user 2 replies to the first user's comment with the second line, which goes on and on until the song is finished or everyone is exhausted of writing so much. It is a great way to whore for a lot of points. It doesn't only work with songs, but many other things aswell. Just last night I and user Kirol have been writing the intro for the binding of Isaac in the comment section.

Downvote
The opposite of the 'like' which can be found on facebook or here, the forums.

Favorget
Describes the act of favoriting a post and never checking it in your favorites again.

Javert
A gif which became popular in december of 2014. There are many variations of it, but this remains the original.

here is an album full of the javertness​

Kylecorn ( User )

Spoiler: kylecorn ( don't view in public (it's not really inappropriate) )

never forget

Lassannn ( User )
Comments similar to 'fuck Lassannn' are common under this user's posts reposts. Whenever he'd hit the front page, he would make an edit looking like this:

Only recently he uploaded actual OC.

Lurker
An unregistered user who just browses the site for its content. No commenting, no up or downvoting.

OC ( Original content )

Aspect's of OC:

• first time uploaded to imgur
• nowhere seen before​

References
There are a lot of references going, so if you don't understand one, simply reply to a comment asking for the link.

RHM ( RedHead Monday )
Every monday, users are allowed to post pictures of attractive redheaded females to whore for upvotes.
IMO ( in my opinion ) this is dumb. Sexualizing women just for fake internet points

Repost

Aspect's of a repost:

• was already posted before​

Ruffcats ( User )
Founder of the series 'stay classy imgur' in which Users would send him mostly secrets which they wouldn't yell out in public. But it's just the internet, am I right?

Sera pls
Whenever a spinning gif is posted, you often will find a phrase similar to '@sera pls'. Sarah is the developers sister. She is jokingly tagged, but once a .gif became popular enough to become the current loading icon.

credit goes to @Cryogenic Frost
for reminding me of this meme​

Upvote
Equals the regular 'like' which you can find here on the forums or facebook. A popular nickname for this currency is 'fake internet points'.
