Last week Pensitivity101 was directed to a site recommended by fellow blogger Archons Den.
Who, Little Old Meeee?? 😎
These are the first batch she selected for your definitions and thoughts please:
1. Groak
None of this, “Kiss me, and I’ll turn into a prince, rot!” This is what frogs really say, often, just before they become lunch at a bistro.
2. Nefelibata
This was the female child of the Egyptian goddess, Nefertiti. The Woke brigade are trying to amend all history books to give her name as Neferbosom. 😮
3. Paranymph
The wife of one of two physicians – Paradox – in a medical partnership.
4. Flummery
This is the expulsion of copious amounts of natural gas, after a good feed of baked beans. If foods with Sulphur, like egg yolks, are also consumed, the RSPCA will show up to ensure that it doesn’t get blamed on the dog.
5. Sirenize
Hurrying down Interstate 75 a bit faster than all the other traffic?? The State Troopers will sonically let you know that it’s not a good idea, with a better noise than that British coppers’ Wee-Waw, Wee-Waw. I say old chap, could you see your way clear to pull over?
6. Carker
He’s the parking valet at a low-rent hotel. As their sign says, Please remember what your parking attendant looks like. We don’t employ one!
7. Smatchet
Get arrogant, or just oblivious, and run a red light. This is how your car, and probably several others, will end up. Put the damned cell-phone down!
8. Shivviness
A noun to describe knife fights and inmate murders in prisons.
9.Sprauncy (Sproncy)
This is the word I use to describe my personal appearance/style – also called shabby chic. The wife says I look like I combed my hair with a pillow. ‘Pigpen’ from the Peanuts cartoon strip has blocked me on Facebook, and as I walked past a Salvation Army Thrift Store, a clerk came out and offered me a free makeover.
10. Druxy
This is how you feel when you pick up a dozen Krispy Kreme donuts for the family, on your way home, and then have to hide the empty box when you get there.
Paranymph? Ain’t that what keeps the paratroopers happy on long flights?
Groak – What you emit when struck with an acorn. (Get it? Groan + oak = ? Aw. the heck with ya! 😀 )
I misread sprauncy the first time, and thought of what you call a huge mistake that works out well. (See The Battle Of Midway for that Chester Nimitz/Raymond Spruance reference. – ed.)

By the way, mind if I wish my mum “Happy Birthday”? She’d have been 91 on Thursday, and I miss her every single day.

Happy birthday to your Mum in the Garden of Forever. My Mum passed away 6 years ago and would have been 102 this year. I miss her too, and my Dad who has been gone 28 years now.

Thanks, Pensitivity. I’ve managed, with quite some work, to forget when my mother died. She’s been gone about 10 years, and unfortunately, I had allowed our relationship to crumble – a sin I try to atone for every day. For some reason, she’s more on my mind this year than most. Your wish is fitting – she loved flowers, and raised them until her health prevented her.
Thank you very much!

We had an old saying, “If you go 75 on I75, you go way too slow,” How fast were you going?

Haven’t been on I-75 in years. I take I-77 to John’s Amish country. I drive the middle lane. Faster than the slow. Slower than the fast. Canadian traffic is generally a little more sedate than the 75 Raceway. If/when I hit 75, the wife starts to hyperventilate. :O

Did you like the words? Or my definitions? Or both? 😕 Pensitivity (and I) will have more, soon. 😀

Both! Interesting words, and I like making up definitions for them, and your answers to them were really fun to read. 🙂

The Egyptian gods will get VERY angry if their names are tampered with. They will rise from the sea north of Egypt, like an invasion of the Sea Peoples once came from that direction, and they will WREAK HAVOC. Egypt will fall. The WORLD will fall. And the gods will be satisfied.

I’m not worried. I don’t think or act like that, but we could use a lot fewer of these Woke marshmallows. 😉 🙂

[…] After eating most of a gourmet pizza last night, with cauliflower, capers, red onions, pineapple, and anchovies, I rolled out of bed this morning –literally – with a distended abdomen that looked like the fat guy in the Monty Python skit. I raced to the hospital, and while the ER doctor is fetching the special catheter to release all my gas, I’m using my tablet to look up “Flummery.” […]
