Say What? #5

From time to time I like to share with you guys definitions I've come up with for some of the more interesting verification words I've come across while signing on to your blogs. Here's my latest instalment... The heroine in Stieg Larsson's Millenium serie s What one hunter says to the other as they approach an unsuspecting pular k Not entirely disingenuous Not your log Acronym for Don't Eat Some Silly Idiot's Stew Where the rich people are asked to go in the theatre There's couch surfing. This is when all you can afford is a cushion . All that's left after your friends ate the rest of your tostitos

Every once in a while I'll share with folks "verification" words I find mildly amusing. You know those words that some bloggers use to avoid spambots and ensure you're a real person leaving a comment. If you're interested in the history of this endeavour and in previous dufus definitions just click on the label below. Ready? Here we go... God's angel inventory Uncle Sayo's wife A guy really into cars Bo knows sports...and this is what he does with deodorant Moms I'd like to learn something from (oh yeah like you can do better) What you ask when you phone your friend whabil and his mother answers.

Say What? #3

Boy it's been some time since the last post in this series - last September .  Back in the days when the now defunct Humor Bloggers Dot Com was still a going concern there was a forum thread called The Humpty Dumpty Dictionary Challenge started by my fellow Canadian blogging buddy Frank Lee Mei Dear at I Don't Give A Damn .  As well, Jan at The Jannaverse does these from time to time. The idea was to take word verifications you found in order to leave a comment on other's blogs and make up a definition for it.  One of my early favourites was... ...nachos that don't move You see what I did there was take two words - inertia and nachos.  Clever, eh? Or maybe I just have too much time on my hands.  Nevertheless here's my latest collection from word verifications I've come across lately.  Be warned: I have a very uniquely odd sense of humour... Before Darth Vader had his lisp corrected Hanth Tholo wath hith nemithith. When there's less left over t...

Say What #2

Back in July I ran the initial post in what I think is going to be a series. Today installment #2. Over at Humor Bloggers Dot Com , where they change the style and format more often than her mean uncle moves the furniture around at Helen Keller's place, there's a forum thread called The Humpty Dumpty Dictionary Challenge where members contribute words they've found from a blog's word verification box along with their own definitions. Here are some of my recent contributions... When you throw little Jr into the pool to teach him to swim you better hope he's: (boy+bouyant=boyant) *** The politically correct term for bus boy! *** The perfect word verification for HumorBloggersDotCom *** What happens when your clambake lasts too long... *** What the parachute instructor says as he pushes you from the plane *** Few people know that Sting wrote the first draft of So Lonely in the loo. Uh-huh, yep. And when he changed the lyric to "lonely" he had a hit on ...

Say What?

Over at Humor Bloggers.com where the funniest and punniest on the interwebs hang out - sort of like an AA for humour bloggers - Frank Lee Mei Dear of I Probably Don't Like You initiated one of my favourite Forum threads: The Humpty Dumpty Word Challenge . As Frank explains: "When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty told Alice, "It means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less." Frank challenged other HBDCrs to share in the forum random "Humpty Dumpty" words they've encountered on other folks' blogs when asked to enter a word verification, that jumble of letters required to be re-typed as a security measure, and to come up with our own definition for them. Frank gave us an example or two to get us started. One was: "tremotop"n. A hairpiece that has not been properly secured to the scalp. Okay, you get the idea. Here's a few I've found and their Humpty Dumpty definitions... ...the practice of shampooing, to the point...
