But, I have come up with a cunning plan to keep us entertained until everyone comes back. You are going to like this ......... oh yes........ I thought that we could invent a new language using word verifications.
"What are you on about you daft moose?" I hear you cry.
It's simple. Do you know when you leave a comment on a website and it comes up with a word verification to stop spam? It just seems such a shame to waste these made-up words by only using them once, and then watch them disappear into the ether. So I thought we could assign random meanings to them, and thus build up our own language. A kind of Bloggers Klingon if you like.
Pic.No.1. A word verification example that I nicked from Brahm's blog 'Alfred lives here'
I have now collected three words and assigned them random meanings:
Unlyna: (adj) The period of time that occurs between your placing a last minute bid on eBay, then realising that you have been outbid, but you don't have enough time to place another. Usage: "Man, I nearly won the job lot of pepper spray, but hit the unlyna."
Rupilism: (adj.) The feeling you get when you sit on a toilet seat that it still warm from your predecessor. Usage: "Man, that was just sheer rupilism."
Prome: (noun) Someone [normally elderly] who takes greater than 5 minutes drawing cash from an ATM, oblivious of the huge queue behind them. Usage: "Man, I would have been on time, but I got stiffed by a Prome."
I think I am onto something big here, but I don't know why I included the word 'Man' in each usage. That's the beauty of Blogger Klingon though; we can now select a word which describes 'someone who gratuitously uses the word 'Man' in sentences in order to appeal to youth culture'.
This is gonna be a rolling stone...... trust me, I'm a doctor (oh yes I am!).
P.S. all new word submissions gratefully accepted (Just call me the Samuel Johnson of the blogsphere)
Not necessarily made up from the word verification prompt, but you get the picture:
ReplyDeleteReintarnation - [n.] Coming back to life as a hill-billy.
Arachnidiot (ar ak ni' di ot) - [n.] A person, who, having wandered into an "invisible" spider web, begins gyrating and flailing about wildly
Foreploy: Any misrepresentation about yourself for the purposes of getting laid
Prozlytute ~ praas/li/tyoot n. 1. One who preaches, while on their back.
Interregnum - noun (pl. interregnums or interregna) a period when normal government is suspended, especially between successive reigns or regimes.
— ORIGIN Latin, from inter- ‘between’ + regnum ‘reign’.
Interrectum - adjective, the feeling the benighted US electorate perceive of "being done without Lube", after 8 years of George W Bush
— ORIGIN Latin, from inter- ‘between’ + rectum intestinum ‘straight intestine’ (or 'arse cheeks', in the vernacular)
I give you 'bildy' - a little bit like bild.
ReplyDeleteThis is my kind of game.
ReplyDeleteNomysu - This is what you say when you are just about to assert to someone that your luggage is in the luggage rack above your head and then you look up and realise it is gone, so you only get to say half of it. As in, 'You saw a guy running down the aisle with someone's luggage? Oh, that's kind of you, but no, my su ....... Flip! Which moron took my case?' Can now be used to deny that any property belongs to you, as in 'That child, who looks incredibly like me, sitting next to me, having a tantrum? Nomysu.'
ReplyDeleteI thought 'Unlyna' is the long bone on the medial side of the forearm. Well, Ulna, but close enough.
ReplyDeleteFun idea! Okay here are two I got today...
ReplyDelete1- EDALING - a baby Edal, which is a mythical talking dog with bunny ears (hey it is Easter) that washes cars for free, though not particularly well...
2- UVULUM - Not sure what this is, but is dirty and or something that the doctor accidentally removes when he is performing prostate surgery....
I like neither na'vi nor klingon as the future global language. Especially when you have to dress up for it :D
ReplyDeleteBut we also need a future international language. One which is easy to learn, as well !
And that's not English! Esperanto? Certainly yes!
If you have a moment see http://eurotalk.com/en/store/learn/esperanto or see http://lernu.net
Etteril - an over-the-counter codeine boredom fighter pill, for the mildly bored and unmotivated; also available over the internet and thru a latenight infomerical featuring Victoria Principal
ReplyDeleteSulatti - a new indian-inspired coffee blend at starbucks that costs seven bucks and is really a regular coffee with curry powder in the foam...
Man alive this has made me really laugh! My particular favourites so far are: Nomysu, uvulum and Sulatti (genius!)
ReplyDeleteintide - the butt splash-back that you get from a toilet with an over vigorous flushing mechanism
ReplyDeleteA couple more today. This is fun!
ReplyDeletepotlozo (adj) A description of the feeling you get after a large Easter lunch, as in 'Anyone fancy a walk?' 'Nah, I'm a bit potlozo, to be honest, after all that grub.'
ganta (verb phrase) as in 'I nearly went on a diet the other day. At least, I ganta. Then I decided against it, and ganta stuff myself with cream buns again.'
