Don't go getting discombombulated (I can tell

because your grammar has gone to pot).

I should have realised that to try and nudge

an uncomprehending pachyderm back on

topic was a physical impossibility.

Put your boots on , unknot your proboscis.

I give up.

"chickenlittling"

over-reacting based upon rumors, hearsay and other unsubstantiated propaganda

Many Californians were once again caught chickenlittling when their over-reactions to rumors of global warming were over-shadowed by the $2Billion loss of the local citrus crop due to abnormally cold weather and freezing temperatures.

NEOCONSERVITIS

An affliction in people of communist/socialist-oriented views, causing them to confuse centrist liberal conservative views with those of the extreme religious and facist views.

Some Bedlam members suffer from neoconservitis, which often causes them to misinterpret posts from others.

Spee is a "Friedmanite" because he also believes in small central government, freedom of choice, free trade, free market capitalism and the right of each person to choose and pursue their own destiny.

I knew Ty would come up with supercalifrag, but the whole song, Ty? My tresses were coiling in knots and unable to digest their breakfast when they saw that.

Priceless! And I hate soccer.

Counterpane.

A counterpane is the old dear that you get stuck behind in a queue at the post office.

Croc seems to be trying to perpetrate a hybrid.

We can only hope it doesn't catch on (sigh).

I call it "taking the piss" Read it again. Maybe I'll post a translation.

1) I knew that

2) I did

3) I dare ya !

For farangsay a translation:

** ** Talk plainly, briefly, naturally, sensibly, truthfully, purely. Keep from slang; don't put on airs; say what you mean; mean what you say. And, don't use big words!"

That's better. Although "Coddswallopology" is better!

Here's another interesting bit...

What is the origin of the word 'codswallop'?

The story goes that a gentleman by the name of Hiram Codd patented a bottle for fizzy drinks with a marble in the neck, which kept the bottle shut by pressure of the gas until it was pressed inwards. Wallop was a slang term for beer, and Codd's wallop came to be used by beer drinkers as a derogatory term for weak or gassy beer, or for soft drinks.

This theory has appeared in Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, but there are problems with it. Codswallop is not recorded until the mid-20th century, rather a long time after Codd's invention, and there are no examples of the spelling Codd's wallop, which might be expected as an early form. These are not conclusive disproof of the theory - it is conceivable that the term circulated by word of mouth, like many slang terms, and that the connection with Codd's bottle had been forgotten by the time that the term was written down - but they do shed doubt on the tale.

Here is one I learned at Uni ..... it was a long time ago, so I had to look it up again.

BOUSTROPHEDONIC

Of or relating to text written from left to right and right to left in alternate lines.

Mainly of interest to palaeographers, this is a form of writing which occurs principally in very ancient or rare texts. Examples are the rongo-rongo script of Easter Island, some of those in the Etruscan language, a few early Latin inscriptions and some ancient Greek texts created in a transitional period at about 500BC before which writing ran from right to left but afterwards from left to right. The word is itself from the Greek meaning “as the ox ploughs”. It is sometimes used by computer specialists for a form of optimisation in typesetting software or printer drivers.

OK. I only did that in Japanese and Chinese, but more up to down first and then right to left. Maybe that's why I always read the last page of books first.

I don't know why I woke up with this word lodged in my head.

Peripatetic

Would suit Kayo more than me. But I used to do a lot of walking while I was teaching, moving target, harder to hit, I wonder if Kerry has a peripatetic bazooka
