# REVISION HISTORY
# 20140406 First version by mrob27
# 20140407:
# add 'CASSINI-MADAGASCAR' to noun-place
# add classes verb-intr-perfect and verb-tr-perfect. They are mostly
# the same as verb-xx-past, except for irregular verbs. The only
# difference right now is "HIDE FROM CORINNE" vs. "HIDDEN FROM CORINNE"
# add verb-tr-perfect to "THIS IS [@PHOTOSHOPPED@0.67, adjective..."
# template. In my mind, transitive perfect-tense verbs metch the
# snowclone a little bit better than adjectives. The original AUTOMEME
# has ('~photoshopped', 'adj') but I added 'verb3 there as well.
# 20140408:
# change 'SHIT' to 'M**STARD' in the 'SHIT WAS SO CASH' meme
# add AMTOO, BEANETTE and ROSETTA; add another of CUEBALL, MEGAN,
# CUEGAN and MEGBALL because those characters are more 'popular'
# 20140408, continued
# add THE BEACH to [noun-place]
# add MYSTERYONG to all 3 noun types
# add ONG (5 tenses) to verb-tr-xxx (for usage examples, see
# [OTT:381:11|#p3334595], [OTT:475:17|#p3343415], and [OTT:1282:16|#p3423689]
# add CUPCAKE (a big deal with @Valarya) to the [noun]s
# 20140409:
# The JavaScript now has a function scan_cvt() with 5 arguments that
# performs mappings like '_foo_' -> 'foo'. scan_cvt is used 4 times:
# s = scan_cvt(s, '**', '＊', '＊');
# s = scan_cvt(s, '*', '', '');
# s = scan_cvt(s, '$', '', '');
# s = scan_cvt(s, '＊', '*', '*');
# The effect of the first and last part is to make ** be the way to
# represent a literal '*'. The middle two calls turn '*' into the
# style and '$' into small-caps. Thus CH**RP becomes CH*RP and *CHIRP*
# becomes CHIRP.
# Add $ER$OTT$IC$ to [adjective]
# Add the ability to filter and transform (using regular expressions)
# members of a class to define another class.
#
# 20140410:
# Add char-1word, containing 1-word characters, and use it in the BLESS
# and THANK templates.
# Break [noun-singular] up into two categories [noun-unique] and
# [noun-commodity], then define [noun-singular] as the union of those
# two, and define [noun-article] using only the members of [noun-commodity]
# Add VOLDEFRAME and WHISTLE OF TEMPORAL HARMONY to noun-unique
#
# 20140411:
# BLESS... and THANK YOU... memes once again include multi-word things.
# Re-do te nouns again; there is now a list of nouns with articles and
# [noun-commodity] is derived from it. This allows us to handle initial
# consonants properly ("AN HONOR") and foreign scripts ("A ᓭᘖᔭᓄᐨ" or
# "AN ᓭᘖᔭᓄᐨ") should we ever want to.
# There may now be two random literals at the beginning of a replaceable,
# enabling the following modifications:
# I ACCIDENTALLY ... IS THIS [BAD@0.33, DANGEROUS@0.5, ENDISH]?
# I LIKE MY [MEN@0.25, WOMEN@0.33, noun-plural, noun-mass] ...
# (and maybe a few others (I forgot to keep track))
# Add this variation on the Dos Equis meme:
# I DON'T ALWAYS [verb-tr-inf] [noun-plural, noun-mass], BUT WHEN I DO,
# I [PREFER@0.2, verb-tr-inf] [noun-plural, noun-mass]
# Add snowclone templates:
# THE [noun-singular] IS TOO CH**RPING [HIGH@0.3, adjective]
# KEEP CALM AND [MOLPY@0.2, verb-inf-1word] ON
# REMAIN [CALM@0.2, adjective] AND [verb-inf-1word] [noun-mass, noun-plural]
# (Previously I had these slightly worse versions of those two:
# KEEP [CALM@0.2, adjective] AND [MOLPY@0.2, verb-tr-inf, verb-intr-inf] ON
# KEEP [CALM@0.2, adjective] AND [verb-tr-inf, verb-intr-inf] [noun-mass, noun-plural]
# )
# [verb-tr-cont, verb-intr-cont] [$0/ING/ERS/] GONNA [$0/ING//]
# (e.g. "CH*RPING CH*IRPERS GONNA CH*RP")
# (needs an operator that links the verb tenses by table lookup.)
# A WILD [noun-singular] [APPEARED@0.5, APPEARS]!
#
# Add category [nounz] and use in the "IS IT CAN BE... TIEM NAO PLEES?"
# Vocabulary additions:
# adjectives: ZANCLEAN, (AWEFULSOME, but we already have AWESOMEFUL),
# MUSTARDY, CH*RPING, BEANISH, OTCOLOURED
# characters: BEARDO (early name for Rosetta), EXPANDO, OLDPIXBOT
# place names: "THE AFOREWHEN", "THE AFTERWHEN", "THE FUTURE"
# commodity noun with irregular plural: A NEWPIX / NEWPICES
# normal nouns: A PASTPOST, A MANIP, A FIRSTPOST, A BLINDPOST, A XIP,
# A WIP, A WIPEND, A MOLPYSNAKE, A WOWTREE, A FLUTTERBEE,

# intransitive verbs: COMA

#
# 20140414:

# signal to delete everything up to that point. This is used in the
# DIAL X FOR Xxxx template, where the full word Xxxx needs to be

# The 'add-foo' regexes simply add something to the beginning
regex add-that: /^/THAT /
regex add-the: /^/THE /
regex add-most: /^/MOST /
# /has-no-spaces/ matches a string only if it contains no spaces,
# and if used in a grep context, leaves the string unchanged.
regex has-no-spaces: /^([^ ]+)$/$1/
# Add " HAT" to the end (unless such is already present)
regex hattify: / ?HAT$//, /$/ HAT/
# Turn spaces to hyphens '-'
regex hyphenate: / /-/g
# Use this regex to transform IN/ON/AT to INTO/ONTO/INTO
regex in-to-into: /IN/INTO/, /ON/ONTO/, /AT/INTO/
# oneword-est only matches things that end in EST and contain no punctuation
# or spaces.
regex oneword-est: /^({A-Z}+EST)$/$1/
# /remove-article/ only matches things that start with an article 'A '
# or 'AN ', and removes the article.
regex remove-article: /^ *AN? +//i
# Match anything, and if it starts with "THE ", remove the THE. It is of
# critical importance that the clauses of this OR-grouping are ordered
# with the ^-forms first and the $-forms after.
regex remove-the: /(^THE )|( ƎНТ$)|($)//i
# Use this regex to transform SOME/A/AN to THEM/IT/IT
regex some-to-them: /SOME/THEM/, /AN?/IT/
# This one is a little more elaborate; it is used when a [place] is
# modified by another word (typically an adjective) and we want to
# retain SOME when appropriate but otherwise use A or AN according to the
# adjective that was added. For example, starting with:
# ... A RIVER ...
# ... SOME MOUNTAINS ...
# we add adjectives to get:
# ... A AN ENDISH RIVER ...
# ... SOME AN ENDISH MOUNTAINS ...
# then postprocess to remove the unwanted article:
# ... AN ENDISH RIVER ...
# ... SOME ENDISH MOUNTAINS ...

# From xkcd #442
#-BOOM DE YADA (aka #-XKCD LOVES THE DISCOVERY CHANNEL)
# We make an effort to form verses with the desired number of syllables,
# and it works surprisingly well :-D
#
# Replace a word or phrase with a number of I's for every syllable in it. This
# actually just counts the number of vowel-clusters, which almost always works.
# Some examples:
# MOLPY -> I TARDIS -> II ZANCLEAN FLOOD -> III HAMPLY -> II
# and note that "ZANCLEAN" might be wrong depending on how you pronounce it.
regex count-syllables: /{^AEIOUY}*{AEIOUY}+{^AEIOUY}*/i/g, /{^i}//g, /i/I/g
#
# Pick a noun, then count its syllables, and then turn the syllable-count into
# "THE" only if it is less than 3. The key here is the two-step regex: First
# it matches /III+/ and replaces with //, which makes the string null if it
# had three I's or more; then it does /I+/THE/ which turns the string
# into "THE" but only if there were I's present.

# Descriptions of the "Complex maze" from "Colossal Caves" adventure (1976) ; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossal_Cave_Adventure#Maze_of_twisty_little_passages
# There are exactly twelve phrases in the original, fitting this template:
#
# YOU ARE IN A [foo] [foo] [foo] PASSAGES, ALL DIFFERENT.
#
# where the three "[foo]"s comprise a permutation of "LITTLE", "TWISTY", and
# "MAZE OF", or with "TWISTING instead of "TWISTY" to get 12 combinations

#
# To memeify it, we want to substitute "MAZE" with a randomly-chosen
# [place]. Since a regex cannot refer to another replaceable, we instead
# change the "MAZE" to a backquote "`" (which does not occur anywhere in
# the lexicon), then use the /former-part/ and /latter-part/ regexes to
# separate it into two phrases so we can interpose the [place-name]
# where "MAZE" was. We also OTTify LITTLE while we're at it. As usual in
# complex cases like this, all but the last step is performed before a cut [].
# (If we also wanted to change LITTLE to a random adjective, we could repeat
# the process we used for MAZE.)
