Here, as promised, is the first draft of the Red Dwarf Dictionary.
Please post/mail ANY comments, additions. I WANT FEEDBACK ;O)

The idea of this file is to create a cross-ref guide to the
Red Dwarf universe. The definitions are supposed to relate
to the Red Dwarf world, rather than the Real World.
** HELP GRATEFULLY RECEIVED!! **
If you have a definition not included, please mail me
with the word or phrase and a short definition.
===================================================================
14b
Technical tool used by Rimmer and Lister to clean soup
dispensers. (Drinking straw).
A-E
=====
Ace
Alternative reality version of RIMMER (what a guy!).
Also the nickname Rimmer chose for himself at school,
although no-one would call him it. No matter how many
times he let the others beat him up, they still preferred
instead to call him BONEHEAD.
Android sayings
Probably the best is "001100111011100011110011100111100" (Don't stand
around jabbering when you are in mortal danger),
also useful is "If you don't GOSUB a program loop,
you will never get a subroutine." (nothing ventured, nothing gained).
Appendix
Both Rimmer and Lister have both had their Appendix out, although Lister
had
already had it removed when Legion removed it, somehow.
In "Thanks for the memory", Rimmer was convinced the operation had been
performed twice after Lister 'donated' him one of his memories.
Better Than Life
An addictive Total Immersion video game. What you wish for you get. It
is only as
good (or as bad) as your imagination. Poor old Rimmer.
Black Card
If Rimmer says he is holding a Black Card it means he wishes to end the
conversation. It cannot start again until he holds up a White Card.
Black-Ribbed Knobbler
Lister once caught one of these while CONDOM FISHING.
Blu-Tack
Listers posters are stuck up with Blu-Tack. Even though he was dead, and
probably
didn't need it, Rimmer demanded his Blu-Tack back from Lister, when he
moved out
to be with his other self (in Me2).
Bonehead
Rimmers nickname at school, his other nickname was ACE, but everyone
refused
to call him it.
Camille
A pleasure GELF. Pleasure GELFs change appearance to suit the observers
desires.
To Kryten she appeared as a mechanoid (a 4000 series GTI with realistic
toes and
slide back sunroof head). Kryten got to practise his lie mode when he
and Camille
fell in love (or E5A908B7).
Cat
Character played by Danny John-Jules. The Cat is in fact a creature
evolved over
the millions of years from Listers pet Cat, Frankenstein, which was
safely locked
away when the crew was wiped-out.
The Cat is self-centred, vain and shallow, but has superior olfactory
ability and a
large collection of fine suits.
Cinzano Bianco
Lister was called this in the Aigburth Arms pub, because once he was on
the pool
table you couldn't get rid of him.
Condom Fishing
When Lister was younger his local canal contained no fish, so they had
to make do
with catching condoms. He is particularly proud of the two-pound
BLACK RIBBED KNOBBLER he once caught.
Confidence
One of Listers hallucinations. Died when he took off his helmet in space
while
attempting to show Lister he didn't need oxygen. See PARANOIA.
Deadies
Slang for a Hologram, Rimmer is a Deadie.
Esperanto
All the signs aboard Red Dwarf are in both English and Esperanto. Rimmer
has
tried to learn Esperanto over eight years, with mixed results.
F-J
====
Fiji
The location of Listers ultimate dream. He was going to settle down and
buy a farm
with KRISTINE KOCHANSKI, even though Fiji is under three feet of water,
that is
why the animals would have to be quite tall.
Fuchal
The Cat race name for Fiji (the Promised Land).
The Cats also celebrated a FUCHAL DAY.
Fuchal Day
A Cat festival where you eat hot dogs. If you didn't you were stoned
with
doughnuts. See FUCHAL and FIJI.
Geldof
The month of Geldof is mentioned in a news item. If anyone knows where
this
month fits into the calendar, please mail me!
Hammond Organ Music
Rimmers favourite music, especially Reggie Wilson. Some favourites are;
Funking up Wagner, Lift Music Classics, Pop Goes Delius and Sounds of
the
Supermarket.
Holly/Hilly
Red Dwarfs Computer. Although he/she is a "Tenth Generation AI
Holographic
Computer" with an IQ of 6000, he/she is suffering from Computer Senility
and has a
"blind spot" for sevens. Holly met Hilly in the alternative reality
using his Holly-
Hop drive, and subsequently had a head change in her honour, or
something like that
..
Hudzen 10
Krytens replacement when he discovers his expiry date is up in "The Last
Day".
Unfortunately Hudzen is not prepared to be unemployed.
Inflatable Ingrid
Rimmers plastic pal. Rimmer also has another "friend" called Rachel, who
is in
need of repair. Lister has been seeing Ingrid behind Rimmers back.
Jozxyqk
According to Cat when playing Scrabble, jozxyqk is what you shout when
you get
your sexual organs trapped.
Jazz FM
When Kryten was made human (in DNA) he complained that he could no
longer
tune his left nipple to radio Jazz FM. He also lost his ZOOM FUNCTION.
Judas
Rimmers middle name (which he has denied). See RIMMER.
K-O
====
Kristine Kochanski
The object of Listers desire. Navigation Officer Kochanski was killed
along with
the rest of the crew, but Lister will not let a little thing like that
stand in the way of
true love.
Kryten
Kryten 2X4B 523P was a Service Mechanoid on the Nova 5, but was rescued
by
the boys, and was subsequently taught to lie and rebel by Lister. Now
Kryten has Lie
Mode he can do useful things like call a Banana a "small off-duty
Czechoslovakian
traffic-warden". See Spare Heads.
Lennon
One of Listers Robot Fish. See MCCARTNEY.
David Lister
The last human alive. Loves Rastabilly Skank music, Vindaloo Curry,
Shami
Kabab and Zero G football. His hero is Jim Bexley Speed. Has poor
personal
hygiene, and bites his toenails.
Alternative Listers include the Female Lister, Deb, from the alternative
Red Dwarf,
who got Dave pregnant, and Dave Lister, who would have been Dave Lister
if his
sperm had fertalised the egg. There is also SPANNERS from ACE Rimmers
alternative universe.
Love
E5A908B7 or Advanced Mutual Compatibility on the Basis of Primary
Initial
Ident' to Kryten. Love as a concept was abandoned in the 25th Century.
Rimmer says
Love is ".. a sickness that holds back your career and makes you spend
all your
money".
McCartney
The other Robot Fish belonging to Lister. See LENNON.
Nodnol
Backwards Earth London. See Yadretsey.
Norweb
As part of Holly's jape of the century, Lister was led to believe he
owed the
Norweb Federation a ludicrous amount of money for leaving the light on
in his
bathroom, and that they had been tracking him for three million years.
Om
A song by Smeg and the Heads (Listers band when he was younger).
P-T
====
Paranoia
One of Listers hallucinations, later killed by CONFIDENCE.
Quagaars
Rimmers imaginary aliens. He hopes one day the Quagaars will give him a
body.
Queeg 500
Queeg 500 is an alter-ego of Holly. Holly convinced the crew that the
ultra-strict
Queeg had taken over after they lost faith in him. Jape of the century!
Rasta-Billy-Skank
Listers favourite music, even though it is issued with a Government
Health
Warning.
Rimmer
Second Technician Arnold Judas Rimmer. Deceased, now a Hologram. Also
called
BONEHEAD. Loves Hammond Organ music, particularly Reggie Wilson. Other
interests include 20th Century Telegraph poles and the boardgame Risk.
When he
was alive he was responsible for Lister and Z Shift. Believes he was
Alexander the
Greats chief eunuch in a previous life.
Scrumping
When Lister was younger, as well as condom fishing, he also enjoyed
scrumping,
for cars.
Sex
In life, Rimmer only had sex once, with Yvonne McGruder (Red Dwarfs
female
boxing champion). Lister has had sex once in the last three million
years, getting
himself pregnant in the process.
Skutters
Robot service droids. Fans and fan club members of John Wayne. Also play
the
Hammond Organ.
Spanners
Flight engineer Dave Lister in the parrallel universe ACE came from.
There he is
married to KRISTINE KOCHANSKI, and has twin boys Jim and Bexley.
Spare Heads
Kryten has three spare heads. One has got droid-rot and silicon rickets,
so
unfortunately is not much use, he talks in a northern accent and is
crude and abusive.
Sounds like someone I know .
Jim Bexley Speed
Roof Attack for London Jets Zero G Football team, also the hero of one
David
Lister. Lister named his sons Jim and Bexley after Jim Bexley Speed.
Talkie Toaster
The jolly Crapola inc Artificially Intelligent toaster, or, if you

I told ya so Gail, the 14b is a drinking straw, and finally someone
has backed me up...it may be Chris, but it's still somebody ;)
For those who don't remember or know Gail and I got into a littl
argument about what tools Rimmer was using on the chicken soup
dispenser. I said they looked like straws and if I remember correctly
Gail said they looked like screwdrivers. We finally both dropped it when
someone else came and instsited they were pipecleaners (which to me a
little bendable fuzzy things used to clean out ppl's pipes, and not
clear plastic tubes which are what Rimmer is holding) because I think we
were just tired of being on topic.
Finally, I get to be right for once....

Hehe...That was me.
I don't remember them looking like clear plastic tubes,
I remember them looking like white fuzzy things...

I'm not the only one who thinks it looks like a pipecleaner...
If you have a look at the scripts in Queeg's archives
it says there that when Rimmer asks for a 14b Lister
hands him a small white pipecleaner.
;-D
However I'm not gonna take Queeg's word for it, I'll
try to check it out for myself.
If I remember.

They bloody are pipe-cleaners.

probably think you're mad anyway, see, it's a pipecleaner.

I looked closely the first time I got involved w/ this, they are quite
clearly smooth plastic, and pipecleaners bend at the slightest
pressure, were it a pipecleaner Rimmer was using it would have bent,
but it didn't so it wasn't a pipecleaner.

But they're not tubes. They're more like flat sticks of some kind. I
agree that traditional pipecleaners are fuzzy, so they can't be
pipecleaners, but straws are hollow and round, which a 14b isn't either.

tubes, not pipe cleaners or screwdrivers :)

I am certain they are drinking straws, but I will happily change the
Dictionary if the concensus is they are something different - after all,
that is one of the reasons I posted it here (feedback).

But pipecleaners generally do not return to their original shape after
being even slightly bent...ever. You ever try to re-straighten a
pipecleaner? Damn near impossible, and certainly not something the
pipecleaner would do on its own...I suspect what you saw was like when
you hold apencil in front of your eye, and move it up and down... it
appears to bend even though it isn't.

So what use would they have? They're bound to be some common thing
that they commonly had around the studio, because I can't see them
making the items for such a small joke. I think they took coffee stirrer
straws from the lunchroom, and used those.

I watched it again last night, and realised that the picture
quality (yes, I bought the BBC tape) is so terrible it's
hard to tell whether the thing *is* fuzzy or it just looks
like it.
However, when Rimmer takes it and says "Does this look even
remotely like a 14B?" (not an exact quote, I know) He moves his
hand holding the thingy rapidly almost out of picture, and I
swear it swayed!
I don't think it was rapid enough to make a straw sway like that,
but definitely a pipecleaner.
All this to say that I still think it's a pipe cleaner.
Is there a copy with decent picture quality out there?
If anybody's got it, could you please have a look?

Vaguely, yes. Don't you think it is a little smooth (not fluffy)?

Maybe they are the correct tool for the job - but that is not what they
used on the show.

Isn't there anybody out there who actually knows or knows
someone who knows if they used a straw, a pipe cleaner or
a screwdriver when they recorded it in the first place?

I recent that!

You obviously haven't seen my copy... <grin>
I still think it looked fuzzy, and it moved like a pipecleaner
too! ;-p
Why should a pipecleaner bend when used in a pipe of the
right size?
More importantly, where would it bend?
Unless the pipe inside the nozzle is bent...
I think I'll just sit down and shut up now.

No, I'd use something strong enough to not bed double at the slightest
pressure, yet flexible enough to bend if I needed it to... like a coffee
stirrer straw, a drinking straw would be far too large (I should have
made this clarification way back at the beginning)
> You wouldn't, would you. They are pipe-cleaners, end of argument.
They're not pipe cleaners, and logic like does not apply in a case
like this. It's a case of examining the visual evidence, and the visual
evidence cleary (this depends on how good a copy of the ep you have)
shows the tool Rimmer uses to not be pipecleaner .

Just watched it again, on our "copied taped off the TV" tape, and
although you can't really _see_ whether it's either it definitely
wibbles and wobbles like a straw. It does sway around, but if a pipe-
cleaner is bent (or swayed) out of shape it stays in the new shape - the
"14B" didn't, it vibrated back to the original position. So I say
"straw".

well, the 14b (and 14f) were probably futuristic pipe cleaners designed
specifically for vending machines. the 14b for chicken soup and the 14f
for vegtable soup. a,c,d and e are probably for oxtail, tomato, etc..

I said end of argument. Meaning the end of the argument incase

But you're forgetting one minor thing... i'm not under your control,

And what is your source for this? Did you ask Doug Naylor? Rob Grant?
The person who was in charge of props back then? Chris Barrie? Craig
Charles? I doubt it, you're judging by what you think you see, but
seeing as how humans have yet to even figure out how our brains
translate the 2 dimensional image received by our eyes into a 3D world,
what you think you see carries no more weight than what I think I see.
So you can think it's a pipecleaner if you like, but I, and others,
know better....and no gail, I'm not referring to it being a screwdriver.

*grin*
Blue Peter is a long-running children's programme which always wins
loads
of awards 'cos it's considered to be educational (I mean, of *course*
kids
don't want to watch Dogtanian or Ulysees or Telebugs when they come home
from school, they want *more* education :)) Anyway, on Blue Peter, when
I
watched it, anyway, they always used to make models which required bits
of cardboard, double-sided sticky tape and pipe cleaners. So they would
make half the model, and then, when it got to the difficult bit, throw
that
aside and say, "Here's one I made earlier," and produce the finished
thing.
'Cos it was all really simple and easy to make, even a TV presenter
could
demonstrate how it was done :)
So now you know.
