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 series



What one hunter says to the other as they approach an unsuspecting pulark




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

Quirks: At least you're not entirely disingenuous. Did you eat the rest of the tstos?

Glad you defined those terms; I had about given up, couldn't find them in any dictionary! ;)

Tstos sounds like a Russian ornament to me.

TRYC: Oh, I should have told you they can only be found in the dufus dictionary. Please consult it as often as you like.

Linda: That's right they hang their tstos on their tstrismas trees.

Heh, heh. "Punkiest" - that was quite the 'co-inky-dinky' (and exactly what I thought too!).

Hahaaa! I love these. Sometimes the words even make sense. I think the tstos was my favorite. :)

00dozo: Yeah, you like that, eh?

Leeuna: That definition just seemed like a natural.

And here I thought tstos was that nasty stuff between your toes when you pull your socks off. Huh. Learn something new everyday.

Just got one: gustrise. The phenomenon that lands panty-less pseudo-celebrities in Star magazine, when they exit limos wearing short dresses into blustery weather. First observed in more innocent times, circa mid-fifties, by Marilyn Monroe in Seven Year Itch. But she wore panties.

Never at a loss for words, it's good to see you even occasionally pilfer yours from somewhere else. Nice pilfering.

Remember, "Nothin' says lovin' like somethin' from the oven, and pilfering says it best."

HumorSmith: Pilfering says it best, indeed. That kinda explains the internet, doesn't it.

The Polka Dot Door

A long time ago, when I was 22, my first child was born.  That kid grew up on a little Canadian kid's show called Polka Dot Door, produced by the TV Ontario network.  And Dad, more often than not, sat through those shows with his little one. Nine or so years later when a brother, and a year after that when a sister came along number one son was moving on to Knight Rider and The Dukes of Hazzard.  But there was a nice overlap where his siblings picked up where he had left off with Polka Dot Door.  And Dad was right there to welcome them. So you're looking at a Polka Dot Door veteran.  The show began in 1971 and ran to 1993.  I didn't watch the full run but I did get in my fair share.  The formula was pretty simple.  A young male and female host, which seemed to change every week, sang songs, told stories, made crafts and generally did their best stimulate little brains.  The show opened as follows... Imagination Day!  Oh boy! ...

Hello Goodbye

Today a bit of a reflective piece. Rather than being funny, this is  about the funny. It's a day of mixed emotion at nonamedufus . You see, after several months of inactivity I've dropped a couple of former blogger buddies off my blog roll. I kept hanging on and hanging on hoping they'd return to active blogging but, alas, after waiting in one case five months I've decided to let them go. I'm going to miss - going to? I have been missing - Margo at the Screaming Me-Me . She was one funny lady. From time to time she and I would engage in a feud or two for several days at a time but it was all in fun both for us and, I think, for our readers. And we'd leave each other funny comments, poking fun at each other. I miss her friendship and our humorous exchanges. The other blogger I'm letting go is Chelle, The Offended Blogger . Chelle was a special lady. In addition to her own blog she created and managed Humor Bloggers Dot Com where humour bloggers like m...

The Dangling Conversation

There's a debate underway in my household between my wife and I. I say "underway" because it hasn't quite reached the "raging" stage. If you want raging, my wife (a Francophone) and I (an Anglophone) from time to time (usually in a weak moment of my own making) slip into our number one discussion around why we don't speak more French at home - ergo - when am I, a former public servant who learned French at the expense of our gracious taxpayers and was technically rated bilingual (even though I hardly used it), going to improve my use of Canada's other language? This one never gets resolved, hence it's ongoing nature. But the current debate is over a remark I casually made the other day. I'm no geek, but with a lot of time on my hands I surf the web, converse on Facebook and such and - I have to admit - "I'm nonamedufus and I'm a Twitterholic". In an epiphany-like moment I was struck by the apparent impact of social networkin...
