i love "false" latin plurals of words ending in -us..

"It's interesting, Michael - since owning a Lexus it's amazing the number of Lexi you see around. Lexi being the plural, of course"

 

[Scuttlingb]

I only heard this word this week and it is in fact a word used by joiners for a joint or something which isn't straight, but you have to be careful where you use it I guess.

Ok, the word is "scunt" I just love it

I love adding a russian/eastern block twist to people's names for example:

Moley = Moleski
Andreas Rex = Androuf Relexski
Dirtybobby = Dirohbobbychoff

What yours?

My favourite word the minute is; Scrotbag

Scrot = pond life
Bag = bag 'o' shite

Main reason = best way to describe my neighbour

Going back some 25yrs or so, there was a boy who lived not far from me, a bit older than myself, he had the misfortune of being quite small framed with a pale hobbit like appearance, the older lads nicknamed him "Rickets".

cunnilngus, who thought up that one up( i take it it's latin or something), Cheap at half the price, duh of course. Wants his cake and eats it, well what else would you do with it. And who the hell invented this (which I have to ask my 9year old how to spell) floccinauchinihilipilification meaning worthless, why not just write ' Worthless'

 

[Toble]

isn't it "the act of attributing value to something that is worthless"?
i seem to remember angela ripon saying that on masterquiz about 20 years ago.

 

[db]

floc·ci·nau·ci·ni·hil·i·pil·i·fi·ca·tion /ˌflɒksəˌnɔsəˌnaɪhɪləˌpɪləfɪˈkeɪʃən/ –noun
Rare. the estimation of something as valueless (encountered mainly as an example of one of the longest words in the English language).

 

[Mrs M]

Yes floccinauchinihilipilification is the act of deeming something worthless but I was being ironic not a smartass for the purpose of the post.
