Bias - A user's personal preference for or against certain things, that can be used for triggering them.

  • Example:

    • Roy: HH PLS
  • Trivia:
    • Some users and their biases are listed below (list accurate as of 2018).

  • Example:
    • HypotheticalHurricane: sad
    • Roy: sad
    • Farm: sad
    • Cube: break chain
  • Trivia:
    • It is also called chain break or chain prevention.

C[]

Clone - A "clone" is an HHW user who acts noticeably similar to another HHW user. This can be done on purpose, but can also be a coincidence. It most commonly happens when a user uses words commonly used by one or more users.

  • Example:
    • Mario: Keglie
    • StrawberryMaster: Mario, you make a great Gary clone.

D[]

Dead - Dead is an English word that is commonly used in chat. Some users tend to say this term mostly when a certain thing, (e.g. the Discord chat) is inactive. Others tend to say the word in its literal meaning.

  • First usage:
    • First documented usage of dead in Discord is in the #administration channel, by Bobnekaro on May 17, 2016.
    • The word "dead" however, was used extensively in the wiki chat. Originally, it was posted as "silent chat", which became a 2015 HHW running gag, before becoming "dead chat".
  • Example:
    • StrawberryMaster: dead chat

December - A month which is usually referred to as Bobnekaro's bias; in the past, he has wished for storms to form in this month, as it is his birth month. This is contrary to his bias against July.

  • First usage:
    • First used in late 2016 in Discord chat, it soon gained popularity over time.
  • Example:
    • Garfield: I made a December C1 form on your birthday.
    • Bobnekaro: yay

Denied - A word used to refuse to admit the truth or existence of something. It's similar to "fake news", but used in a direct context. Was most commonly used by MarioProtIV.

  • First usage:
    • Denied itself was first used back in 2016, and in early 2018, StrawberryMaster used the word a lot. It eventually died out and people used it again in mid-2018.
  • Example:
    • StrawberryMaster: Mario is sad.
    • Mario: denied

Downcast/Downcaster - Downcasting is an act of deliberately wishing for a certain tropical cyclone to weaken, not form or dissipate. Downcaster is a term for people who downcast.

  • Example:
    • Mario: Andrea will not form!
    • Hypercane: Mario pls, you downcaster.
  • Trivia:
    • In HHW, the downcasters can be separated into two groups: the ATLANTIC Downcaster and PACIFIC Downcaster. An Atlantic downcaster downcasts storms in the Atlantic basin while Pacific downcaster downcasts in Pacific basin.
    • Downcasting is usually not serious and mostly used for fun only.
    • The opposite of downcasting is wishcasting.

Doomcast(er) - A more extreme form of wishcasting. Doomcasting is when someone wishes for a tropical cyclone to impact land at a very powerful intensity.

  • Example:
    • Cooper: HWRF models show Chantal hitting Texas as a powerful C5
    • Bob: Sad doomcasters

E[]


F[]

Failicia - Failicia is a popular term on HHW, used to describe a weak tropical cyclone that failed to, or is failing to meet expectations. This is one of the oldest HHW terms, long predating the Discord server.

  • First usage:
  • Example:
    • Bobnekaro: Ugh, Debby is still a tropical storm.
    • Hypercane: What a failicia.

Fake news - Fake news is a common term whose literal meaning is "false information". The term is often used as a reply to a tease, which the person saying it thinks it is not true.

  • First usage:
    • The first mention of "fake news" in Discord chat was a series of nicknames with Money Hurricane, on June 10, 2017, following by a direct message by Hypercane on June 13 of the same year.
  • Example:
    • Slovakiaball(SlovakRepublicball): Mario voted for Trump!

    • Back in September 2015, then-HHW bureaucrat Hurricane news said "Hey Cardozo i`m high on mints" in the Wikia chat. It was rediscovered in 2016 and has become a popular HHW term that is still used to this day.
  • Example:

J[]

July - July is a month which triggers Bobnekaro. It is considered that Bobnekaro has a bias against this month because he believes a weak July is a normal July, but other users tease him by making a season with an active July or directly saying that July is great.

  • Trivia:
    • It is contrary to the month of December, which Bobnekaro has also a bias on.
  • First usage:
    • July was not a notable term until July 2016, when the month produced no tropical cyclones in the Atlantic basin. As a result, Bobnekaro developed the bias.
  • Examples:
    • Hypercane: A July C5 will hit NC, sad!
    • Bobnekaro: Hype pls.

K[]

Kden - Kden (usually spelled as kden) is a term used by HHW users in the chat, as a reaction to something absurd, unusual and weird that another user sent out in the chat.

  • First usage:
    • The term was likely first used in 2015-2016 by some of the early users of the chat.
    • While the term was not created on HHW, it was brought by StrawberryMaster: in the early days of chat, he posted "k you DEN supporter", as a reference to a now-dead NationStates region. Soon after, it started being said as "k DEN", "k den", and lastly, "kden".
  • Trivia:
    • Literally means "okay then".
    • It was known as separate words "k den" before.
  • Example:
    • Prism55: Irma was a 15 mph subtropical low!

    • Kek has evolved into other forms, with the same meaning, like keg, kekir and topkek.
    • In more recent years, especially in 2020, the term has died out significantly, and has been replaced by the more common "lol". Certain users have opted to not use the term at all.

    • Kek could have been used very early, mostly in Wikia chat.
  • Examples:
    • Farm: kek I made a sad track
    • Mario: kek
    • Garfield: kek

  • Example:
    • Bobnekaro: fake news
    • Chap: real news

S[]

Sad - "Sad" is an iconic HHW term. Contrary to its literal meaning, it is mostly used as a humorous way to depict or reply the person or thing with unfortunateness or dismay. It has spawned many variations, including "sade", "sadn't", and "sobble".

  • First usage:
    • First mentioned by Brickcraft1 on February 24, 2017 in Discord chat; early mentions were mostly literal meaning until the start of July.
